New pricing tiers at national parks based on who you are and where you come from is EXTREMELY Nazi stuff
The Trump administration is raising national parks' prices and adding fees for international tourists from next year in an "America-first" initiative, the Interior Department announced.
Trump admin hikes national parks prices by up to $170 for international tourists
The Interior Department said the "America-first" policy will see "resident-only patriotic fee-free days" on some holidays.

A Tennessee legislator has ordered all Tennessee public libraries to shut down for two weeks to review their childrens collections and ensure they do not contain any books with LGBTQ characters or themes.

The Harper's letter crew is going to be *furious* about this.

Sinéad O'Connor Airport!
The Dáil has heard a suggestion that Dublin Airport be named after the former Taoiseach Sean Lemass.

Any counteroffers?

I think it’s time to put this one back out into the ether, friends

Come and learn about how the tropes undergirding anti-Jewish hatred and conspiracy theories as they exist today came to be…

Gotta get the history to know where the tropes live in the discourse today.

Hello network. This is real shit. I’m looking for transgender, nonbinary, or gender nonconforming front and back end web designers for a project to help trans people get housing in NJ. This is a paid opportunity.

I’ve been in 3 cities over the past week and not once did I have to take a cab from a transit hub. I get home & miss my chance at the 11;10 DTW airport bus by 5 minutes. Next one is at 12:25 & then I still have to get a car to my house. I am now in a Lyft. SO DUMB. I WANT TO TAKE PUBLIC TRANSIT

There are 50,000 food insecure children in Maine and 2 trans athletes. Every single candidate running for office who can drum up concern about the latter but has nothing to say about the former is telling on themselves. They don’t care about children. Only power. And they’ll hurt kids for it.
25 Nov 2025 @rikiwilchins.bsky.social -- In unusual move, Sen Susan Collins (R-ME) signs petition for referendum on the 2026 ballot that would bar trans students from sports teams, locker-rooms and bathrooms. She's in a hotly contested election & this is pbly one way to increase Rep turnout.

We need to ban the “I’m not worthy” gesture permanently, but especially if you are in the front row of a Patti smith show.

So a big part of the Project 2025 goals hinges on forcing women out of the workforce. The Heritage Foundation knows that women voters hold the most power in terms of sheer numbers. If they can push you out of the workforce, they can push you out of your voting rights.
Digging into the data of what's taking place with Black women unemployment and this graph is pretty damning.

You can see the EXACT month Black women's unemployment begins to splinter and that what hit us FIRST is now coming for all other women. This is #TheDoubleTax.

Lots of problems with this interview, but I love how our national political press still thinks it's a big gotcha when they get him to say Trump is a fascist. Everyone watching NBC agrees that Trump is a fascist.
WELKER: Just to be clear, do you think President Trump is a fascist?

MAMDANI: After President Trump said that, I said yes

WELKER: So you do

MAMDANI: That's something I've said in the past. I say it today. What I appreciated about the conversation is were not shy about the places of disagreement

It would be so helpful if you could RT my post above about my Etsy shop. I haven't been able to work for more than half the year due to severe depression/a breakdown. If you see this & could spare a few moments for a RT it would help me put my designs in front of a few more eyes. Thankyou so much🌿
