Trans rights are human rights. Illegal immigrants wouldn't be here illegally if we had a functioning immigration system

Could I build an AI agent to reply "stop" to every fundraising text I receive? That should be doable, right?

Yo @socodsa.org, we gonna let KC DSA show us up like this? We got birds. We got people who like hiking. Do we have any bird nerds? They say they'll get 40+ people on this, how many do you think we can get?

This should be a great class for anyone interested in understanding the link between slavery and prisons, which is the first step towards imagining a future with better outcomes for the whole of society.

I really wish everyone understood this, that all these billionaires' "success" is luck/good timing more than anything else. And that their ability to ride that luck is the result of a stable society which they now refuse to contribute back to.

Another mid-year IRS standard mileage rate adjustment, another round of a whole lot of tax returns filed with exactly 50% of the total mileage in each half. Funny how that works!

These scary times call for a bold leader, one who isn't afraid to separate themselves from the pack, is willing to swim against the current of business as usual, who seeks out new opportunities in unusual places. I howl out my full-throated endorsement of Alcatraz Coyote for CA Governor.

If cute cats matter to you, the choice of how to spend your next two minutes is clear. If you live in District 2 in Sonoma County, who to vote for (Paun!) should also be clear after watching this highly informative video. (Did I mention the cute cats?)

This is where I'll be today. Flexing our people power muscles was how we won the freedoms we now enjoy, and flexing them again is the only way to beat back the oligarchs. But many of us have gotten weak over the years. Forgotten how and why we show up for each other. Forgotten the joy in solidarity.

Happy tax day! This should be a civic holiday, we should have a parade and give out taxpayer awards. ruthbraunstein.substack.com/p/what-does-...
Tax law scholar Lawrence Zelenak observes, “April 15 can and should be as important a civic holiday as the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November. Together, the two days celebrate the fulfillment of the two great responsibilities of citizenship.”

The filing of the income tax return offers an opportunity to mark this achievement. Riffing on Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr.’s famous quip, “I like to pay taxes. With them I buy civilization,” Zelenak calls for greater recognition of how filing an income tax return constitutes a “Purchase-of-Civilization Ceremony.”

The thing about crypto is that it relies on someone else willing to buy it for more than you paid for it. And they're running out of fools, I mean buyers. ONLY do this if you can afford to lose everything you invest in these types of assets.

The phrase "selectively applying legitimate rules" gets right at the heart of this corrupt administration (and the hypocrisy of all those "law and order" folks too) That's it, that's how you weaken (or betray) a functioning democracy.

Narratively having Ever Given getting stuck in 2021 to set up Hormuz in 2026 is great foreshadowing. You want your audience to understand the basics of international shipping in a lower stakes context so you drop the real plot without a lot of saggy exposition about the minutiae of cargo logistics.
