This incredible woman, may she rest in peace and rise in power, is a QUEEN and was recently given her long overdue flowers by UA. May we take her bravery and use it to inspire us in the never-ending fight against hatred and racism here.

Arguably the biggest democracy referendum next month: Virginia is one of only three states where the state constitution says people should lose their right to vote FOR THEIR ENTIRE LIFE if they are convicted of any felony. This measure would allow anyone to vote after prison.

“It’s Time”: Virginians Will Decide Whether to Repeal Jim Crow-Era Lifetime Ban on Voting - Bolts

Voters will decide this year whether to end Virginia’s uniquely harsh felony disenfranchisement rules. They'll also vote on abortion, gay marriage, and redistricting.

Rs want credit for expressing misgivings and reservations, when some of them could have stopped the madness earlier and chose, repeatedly, to please their friends, or their donors, or their primary voters, instead.

Please remember that for every VE Schwab and Stephen King, there are a lot of banned Black, queer, and POC writers you've never heard of, to whom it is maybe not a badge of honor but a denial of their voice. Being banned is not a marketing opportunity, unless one is already rich.

When the Trump administration started dismantling a $368 million ocean monitoring system earlier this year, scientists, fishermen and Congress fought back. On Saturday, a 238-foot ship set sail to reinstall the first batch of monitors in the waters of the Pacific.

A pretty key & funny theme in Rome worship is that the statues look very austere and white, ie “classical”. And arguably “white” in racial sense, tho I think that’s overstated. But most were originally painted. And they looked very different, more florid and certainly to modern eyes more eastern.

The nyt has been a culture warrior in important ways: its racially-tinged anti-Mamdani vendetta; its propagandistic campaign against trans ppl; its uncritical promotion of neo-segregation and "biblical patriarchy." So it's interesting to see one its top Opinion editors trying to flip the script

Deepak Karra (deepak_karra on IG) captured this shot of a pink robin, native to the forests of South Australia & Tasmania. In technical terms, this is a bird shaped like an orb, or 'BORB'. 🐦🟣 Reminder that this little guy is a direct descendant of theropod dinosaurs like T. rex. (📷: Deepak Karra)

A poof of bright pink belly feathers that looks like one of those fuzzy pencil-toppers is surmounted by a dark grey head in which is a wary dark eye. It's gripping a pink flowering branch that changes from nearly vertical to actually vertical, requiring a sort of death grip by the legs.

If they get both chambers Dems could pass several simple one-page bills with ultra-popular stuff like raising the minimum wage. No lobbyist BS, no games with amendments, something a middle school social studies class can understand and dare the Rs to veto.

Fairies are just a bee species that's discovered aposematic camouflage, which is why they disguise themselves as humans (a large apex predator). Because fashion changes much faster than phenotype they come dressed as Victorian ladies and gentlemen in hoopskirts and top hats. With stingers.

“Destroyed a ULEZ camera” is an interesting way to describe detonating a homemade bomb in a residential street, sending shrapnel into homes and cars, and being convicted of causing an explosion likely to endanger life. Still, “camera” does make the fifteen years sound terribly unreasonable.

Do you know why I think every prisoner should get to vote in prison? Not only are prisoners counted in the census and are most affected by policies (check out prison gerrymandering), but also if you don't, regimes could simply round up 1,000s of dissidents and minorities to reshape the electorate

The "Americans are uniquely stupid & authoritarian" view is not a serious one (bsky.app/profile/mcop...), as today in Brazil proved once again. Our <institutions> are particularly prone to authoritarianism, but that is not an individual-level or psychological or cultural explanation.
