Hello new followers! I'm a proofreader for Uncle Sam by day, and a comix podcaster by night. You can find me doing the latter at @rftpodcast.bsky.social. Dropped off the socials for a bit, but now I'm back, the show is back, and I'm looking to ride out the apocalypse here with all you fine folks!

Rabb for Congress! (PA-03) @chrisrabb.com · 16d

I come from generations of freedom fighters who taught us to fight oppressive forces. Whether it’s fighting for a livable wage, to make housing affordable for all, or stopping the genocide – I’m answering the call of my forbearers. I'm Chris Rabb, and I’m running for Congress.

I am begging Canadians to understand that Canada Post, like public transit, should not be a business - it's a service.

Canada Post is a lifeline for rural, remote and Northern communities and overall, we need to re-evaluate why people think they "need" random shit delivered ASAP.

Paris Marx @parismarx.com · 15d

The government is reducing service standards and Canada Post’s biggest advantage: its nationwide network.

This plan is about cutting back the postal service instead of investing to give it new revenue tools through things like postal banking. It’s shameful.

I realize why people (namely the revanchist right) are invested in portraying it as solely the work of the rotting totem at the top of the pyramid. He can't do it alone. He can barely keep standing all by himself. It's an entire movement. Call it what it is.

"Family says." There is video. They did it.

"ICE agents held Leominster family's daughter outside their home so they would turn themselves over," if you care for the truth.

This is absolutely the right thing to do. Payment late? Stop working until you’re paid.

“Oh but the book will miss its deadlines—“ aw that’s too bad, but if the release date is such a priority I’m sure Accounts will have no problems wiring over my money this afternoon

Ibrahim Moustafa @ibrahimmoustafa.bsky.social · 18d

Whenever a publisher is late paying me, I send an email to my point of contact asking them to look into the late payment…

And then I switch gears to investing work time into myself & my own projects (be it a book or making YouTube videos).

If I’m working on spec/for free, it ain’t for them. Lol.

The men depicted are the future of the Republican Party and the conservative movement. With every wave that is coddled and enabled (Tea Party, MAGA), the party degrades. It can no longer claim to be the party of "civility." And it doesn't want to be.

Huntington Beach, CA - As Patriot Front, Ryan Sanchez and Neo-Nazi groups are leaving they began to pummel one man in a leather jacket, who told me he was there to mourn Kirk but “hated Nazis.”

Attackers include members of the GDL and Robert Wheldon.

American soybean farmers don’t have a single order from China as they head into harvest season. China usually buys 25% of the entire crop.

Crisis looms for the farmers and there’s only one man responsible.

So, if you (you reading this) want people to SEE this protest, you must share it.
