The Trump administration sent Venezuelans to El Salvador’s most infamous prison. Their families are looking for answers.

A thing I didn't grok when I was younger: You can just... do stuff. Anyone can write a book-- just open a document or buy a composition book and go. If you want to try an art form, you can take a class, watch a YouTube video, or borrow the tools from the library. You don't need permission to play.

literally every day is going to provide more evidence that the "let's provide some votes for the least bad trump nominees out of respect for the presidency" was a boneheaded strategy. any idiot could have told senate democrats that any vote for any of these people was going to make them look bad.

I keep hearing comments that elected Dems don’t know what to do because they are in the minority. How many smallish-audience podcasts did you do this week with Dems working hard to build up their audiences? If you want an alternative media universe, you have to help create it.

I really wish Dem strategists would just once go on TV and acknowledge that Trump only won by 1.5% and didn't even get a majority before they start with the tiresome "Democrats have completely lost touch with average Americans etc, etc." That's how you think after a landslide loss not a squeaker.

By the 1990s, there were even specialist “cyberculture magazines.” Mondo 2000, used the word in its first ever issue back in 1989. In the introduction, co-editors Queen Mu and R. U. Siruis wrote that their goal was “bringing cyberculture to the people!”

Cyberculture 1960s-1990s and the Legacy of Alice Mary Hilton
The word 'cyberculture' was coined by Alice Mary Hilton in 1963 and by the mid-90s was in common use. But Hilton never got her due, especially compared to her contemporary Marshall McLuhan.

if you just scan the headline — or if you’re just uncurious — you’ll think this is a “trump bad” piece but if you read it you’ll find that it is my attempt to explain what makes something “anti-constitutional” and why that is distinct from an “unconstitutional” act.

"With the tumultuous start of the second Trump Administration, two of the agencies that workers rely on to protect their rights and hold corporations accountable – the Department of Labor (DOL) and the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) – are under attack,” she wrote. “Between Trump’s illegal firing of NLRB member Gwynne Wilcox, Elon Musk challenging the National Labor Relations Act as unconstitutional, and huge tech giants like Amazon already using the vacant NLRB as grounds to reject union wins, it’s clear that Trump and the billionaire class he represents are working day and night to dismantle labor laws and put even more power back in the hands of corporations. We can no longer expect to rely on traditional legal frameworks to build worker power and to improve workplace conditions.”

If the right-wing, reactionary government that we increasingly have wants to start stripping away that process, they're going to quickly remember that, actually, the NLRB and NLRA are a peace treaty between workers and bosses.
