bird guys: is it just a change in season or have the sparrows driven everyone else off? i used to have a bit more variety at my feeders but the last few weeks, the number of sparrows has increased tenfold and everyone else is gone.

This man is a fucking monster who limped away from Chicago's mayor's office because he'd become unelectable after closing 50 schools and half of our city's publicly funded mental health care clinics, and covering up the fact that Chicago cops murdered a teenager. Stop whitewashing his ass!

Indigenous people successfully managed North America for thousands & thousands of years, long before white people are comfortable acknowledging, & it only took 500 years for the settlers to kill the entire planet.

During Charlottesville’s 2017 "Summer of Hate", queer activists provided key antifascist leadership to counter-protest the “Unite the Right” rally and other white nationalist attacks. This session, 6-8pm Wednesday July 8 at The Beautiful Idea will recall their contributions.

The Mall crossings are once again open & many drivers are once again failing to obey the stop signs or yield to pedestrians. The city should close them permanently—for public safety & for the symbolic statement that on the Mall, if nowhere else, people are more important than cars. But here we are.

Look, I’m sorry but I just can’t believe the Knicks came all the way back. And I bet a lot of my fellow basketball fans feel similarly. This calls into question the legitimacy of their Game Four win.

Our book Enough is Enough: Degrowth, Capitalism, and Liberation Theology is out now! If you hate capitalism, you'll like this book. Ask your local book shop or library to get it for you and then give us a review on Jeff Bezos' hell site.
It's time for us to say with conviction that enough is enough, that we will no longer stand by as capitalists and governments allow creation to be destroyedCreation does not have to be worth something that can be expressed in monetary value. Creation is already enough simply by being itself, already good, not in need of any value added to secure its place in the world.Capitalist growth continues to open its jaws to accept the sacrifices of people and the planet, destined for its insatiable gullet. But we don't have to feed this idol any longer. We can say enough is enough.
