What do you call a political system where those in power refuse to seat a duly elected member of the opposition party? Not a democracy that’s for certain.

Screenshot of a tweet from Rep. Greg Stanton (@RepGregStanton) on X. The tweet says House Republicans are shutting down the House to avoid swearing in Adelita Grijalva, calling it undemocratic and unacceptable. The image shows a mostly empty House chamber with several representatives, including Stanton, standing near the podium.

Chiitan has a dream.
I hope that one day the term LGBT will become a thing of the past.
I will continue to spread my message until we live in a world where everyone can love freely and is free from persecution and discrimination.
Until then, let's all support each other🤍

Californians, let’s call (916) 445-2841 to tell Newsom’s office to sign the following pro LGBTQ+ rights bills before the deadline:

AB 82/SB 497
AB 1084/SB 59
SB 418
AB 554
AB 728
AB 678
SB 590
SB 450

He hasn't signed the other bills yet, but he still has days to do so
This headline is misleading for not mentioning that.

The gender education veto is bad, but far from the most important trans rights bill on his desk.

There's still time to contact Newsom for the rest!

Trump will probably end up giving him the Presidential Medal of Freedom. ," accompanied by an image of two men, one in a cowboy hat and sheriff uniform, escorting another man, with a building entrance in the background.

Look at what we could have. look at what our tax dollars could pay for. Instead we’re paying to have ICE pepper spray directly into the air hole of a guy in an inflatable frog costume

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:
www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...

Post from Threads user rodneyowl: "Ireland has declared the Basic Income for Artists scheme permanent. This will be officially announced in tomorrow’s budget. Details to follow. Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

I have 1 pc desktop left in that category. Likely install either Linux Mint or Bazzite. Just wondering what role this old machine will have.

I see pieces like this a lot, often w/ a spin of lamenting cultural degeneration, but reading is a LABOR issue, it’s declined because so many people are working overtime or two jobs & employers expect after hours work. France has Earth’s highest reading rate b/c long lunch breaks & labor protections

I’m down for this.

The image is an X post by RB (@rbisrb

The post includes a meme featuring a photo of several men in suits, with text overlay stating: "Instead of 'billionaires' can we go back to calling them 'robber barons'?" The individuals in the photo appear to be prominent figures, though they are not specifically identified.

"Basically, we don't want them to think. We don't want them to ask questions...we just want their lives to be perfect."

Do not let the right-wing propaganda win out.

Stop book bans. Stop mass cancelling Games and Anime.

This affects as all.

Special bonus vid this week.

Book bans are out of control. They're expanding beyond merely banning the classics. Now, EVERYTHING is at risk.

They Started Banning Books. Now They’re Banning Everything Else.

Reminder that @governor.ca.gov is reportedly considering vetoing SB79, the best housing bill to clear the CA legislature in decades.

It would be a *disaster*, substantively & for Newsom's political future. Really hope he doesn't self-immolate.

Tell him!

Contact the Governor | Governor of California

You can contact the Governor a few different ways. The best way is through his online form.

I guess he didn't like my coverage of the topic. He is attempting to remove any trace of his alleged bad behavior from the internet. We of course will fight this as it falls under fair use

End the shutdown, GOP. Extend the ACA subsidies. Stop shoving more money at the billionaires.

Image of an X post from @JessicaTarlov
showing a screenshot of her on "The Five" on Fox News, with the chyron "DEMS SHOOT DOWN BILL THAT WOULD END GOVT SHUTDOWN" and the time "2:02." The post reads: "Republicans can mock Democrats all they want, but the numbers don’t lie. By a 17 point margin, Americans blame the GOP for the shutdown. And Americans overwhelmingly back extending ACA subsidies—71% in WaPo, 78% in the KFF poll. This has nothing to do with 'healthcare for illegal immigrants,' and Trump knows it."
