Biden fired the spectacularly corrupt Architect of the Capitol, but there are still a number of Trump loyalists, like Ginni Thomas and Louis Dejoy, who remain in positions of influence over the functioning of our democracy. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/architect-of-the-capitol-trump-appointees_n_63e55eb6e4b02c25737506c2/

A photo from the Brooklyn Eagle, 1942. The caption read “Girls show up in slacks at Abraham Lincoln High School, in Brooklyn, in protest because a classmate, Beverly Bernstein, was suspended the day before for wearing slacks.”

“Should high school girls, particularly students of Abraham Lincoln High School on Ocean Parkway… be permitted to wear slacks to class?”

Bernstein not only had the nerve to show up in blue gabardine slacks, she accompanied it with a "lipstick red sweater."

Dead Kennedys, 1981. Pretty subversive, especially before the Sony #fairuse decision.

I'm sorry members of the Murdaugh family were murdered and Alex Murdaugh lied, but at a time our planet is frying and democracy is under attack here and abroad - why are the networks spending so much time covering this one $&@% trial?

Can't help but think of the #flatpak decision by #Ubuntu as extremely similar to the old #Microsoft strategy "Embrace, extend, and extinguish".

I run Ubuntu on the main workstation simply due to wanting to maximizing compatibility. I'm "Linux on the desktop" only and some lazy software providers think they're done with #Linux support once it works on Ubuntu.

Which in it self supports the overall worry about Ubuntu's effect on Linux.

The two contenders imho are #Debian (of course) and #RedHat. I lot of the professional work I do is on RH but my opinion is that it's a server flavor much more than a good desktop. Otoh on my main desktop I really don't want to spend too much time fiddling about to get things working - which is what I think choosing Debian will lead to.

sigh

I've been wondering how long it would take for this argument to be made in a forced birth state...

Here's an uncomfortable American history fact. While folks often point out that after Jesse Owens won 4 gold medals at the 1936 Berlin Olympics, Hitler refused to shake his hand.

But what happened next? Well, after returning home, Owens & 17 other Black Olympians were denied an invite to the White House. Instead, President Roosevelt only invited white Olympians. And it wasn't until 2016 that the White House finally apologized and invited their descendants to the WH.

2016.

And for the record, I’m a cis white dude who lives in jeans and Carharts, wears boots to meetings, and spends 4 months a year shooting geese in cornfields. I just also happen to think it’s really shitty to punch down, really small to attack kids, and really cruel to make people pretend to be something they aren’t. I’ve been the guy anouncing time of death for teen suicides, and if I never see another one from gender dysphoria it couldn’t be too soon.

Fox News is using the East Palestine derailment to attack Trump. Directly bad mouthing Donald would annoy the MAGA crowd. But using the plight of regular people against him? That's how a propaganda machine erodes a populist image orange brick by orange brick. Clever stuff. 😂

Someone pointed out that Biden went to the Ukraine today and it didn't trend once despite posts being liked by 50k +.

Elmo is such a little bitch lol

BREAKING: The anti-LGBTQ+ genocide is officially starting in the United States. Tennessee has passed the first drag ban in the country. IT IS A FELONY CHARGE. THIS IS NOT A DRILL. Tennessee just declared war on LGBTQ+ existence. We will defend our people.

South Carolina passed two laws that would allow schools to imprison "boisterous" children. Fortunately, a federal appeals court was unimpressed by the racist dog whistling and struck both down. Let kids be kids.

What's happening in the Tennessee legislature should be national news right now. They're trying to enact all-out genocide against transgender and gender non-binary people. Video via Tennessee Holler.

@gwaldby I love when the right wing starts getting accidentally correct about things, like, hey, if you are going to cap insulin then why not as well offer free dentistry and chemotherapy.

Yes? Right away?

https://www.huffpost.com/entry/florida-college-walkout-desantis_n_63f7a52de4b0e2590d423d36 Students walk out protesting fascist #RonDeathSantis bigoted racist policies. Among his administration’s most hotly contested actions was a request for Florida universities to hand over information about “persons suffering from gender dysphoria” who’ve received care at campus clinics. #LGBTQ #DontSayGay #GOPcultureWars

So let me get this straight: Every single federal judge in every single jurisdiction in the U.S. is subject to a binding code of ethics — except the justices on the single most powerful court in the country?
