We're living under a christofascist administration who explicitly hate their political opponents

The non-technical opinion columnists have painted a decentralized app as a "liberal" hiding place

VP of said administration created an account to troll

The company behind the app is trying to survive

This afternoon in TIME MAGAZINE, @mariannecooper.bsky.social and I discuss why 300,000 Black women leaving the workforce is bad for the economy, bad for society, and bad for you.

In the piece, we argue that Black women are the canaries in the coalmine and why ignoring #TheDoubleTax harms us all.

Rising Unemployment Among Black Women Is a Bad Economic Sign

"Black women are the canary in the coal mine on the health of the economy," write Cooper and Opoku-Agyeman.

They’re not equipped to handle mental health crises. Ppl need another option

Lex McMenamin (they/them) @leximcmenamin.com · Sep 9

Lil Nas X faces felony charges of "battery" against an officer from an arrest during a mental health crisis in late August. I wrote about my family member's experience with police being sent during mental health episodes—still common for wellness checks—and how it ruined their life.

Why Lil Nas X's Arrest Is More Proof Police Have No Business Treating the Mentally Ill

"Police generally aren’t trained or qualified to respond to mental health crises."

There will be some 300,000 fewer federal workers on the government payroll by the end of December than there were in January, according to the Trump administration. The reduction would be the largest single-year decline in civilian federal employment since World War II.

This is crazy

Bluesky @bsky.app · Aug 22

Unfortunately, Bluesky is unavailable in Mississippi right now, due to a new state law that requires age verification for all users.

While intended for child safety, we think this law poses broader challenges & creates significant barriers that limit free speech & harm smaller platforms like ours.
