My union—the LA Times Guild—has authorized a strike with the support of 85% of our membership.

This comes after years of brutal layoffs and no cost-of-living raises since 2021.

Next up: we bargain. But if we have to strike, we will 🪧

Serious question: does there come a point where everyone admits that Constitutional originalism is just a made-up vibe-based philosophy that gives Republican judges a pretext for ruling however it is that Republicans want them to rule?

If you're in Seattle and still have Democracy Vouchers burning a hole in your pocket, Eddie is my neighbor and all around good guy. D2 could use better representation, and its just a few clicks to give him your vouchers!

linforseattle.bsky.social @linforseattle.bsky.social · 7h

If you’re a Seattle resident and haven’t used your democracy vouchers, now is the time to do so! Ballots are dropping next week and there’s only 3 and 1/2 weeks until election day. Also, some candidates have maxed out on vouchers, but our campaign hasn’t yet!

Parable of the Sower was one of those glaring gaps in my reading that I finally fixed just a year or so ago, and beyond how good it is in its own right, it was EASILY the eeriest "this could have been written yesterday about tomorrow" experience I've EVER had.

honestly fu** you if you think gazans are only allowed to ask for help to cover their very basic necessities when they’re starving or being killed, calling a gazan a grifter for trying to secure her education proves that you don’t see gazans as humans who deserve to live equally.
