We (faculty at USC) took on an institutional behemoth with all the money and clout on earth, and we WON. We won our union. We're the biggest private-university faculty union in US history. Trying to make people care about this, challenge level IMPOSSIBLE

It’s really funny to remember Hillary Clinton telling someone to run for office if they want to change things in 2016 and now the party is like “we said run for office, not win”

The Tea Party was a top-down astroturfed marketing campaign to rebrand the right wing of the GOP to a something that wasn't associated with George W. Bush's toxic Presidency. The extent to which it was an "insurgency" or "anti-establishment" is wildly overstated.

It's funny that the newspapers treat DSA-endorsed candidates like they are Bastille-storming revolutionaries when in reality DSA members are almost comically procedure oriented

Gas station companies are illegally conspiring to raise prices, and they're using AI to do it, according to a new lawsuit.

The class action lawsuit claims that the corporate owners of over 1,700 California gas stations are using Kalibrate, an AI platform, to share data and keep prices high.

Attending art school at eleven, by his twenties Diego Rivera was counted among the most influential figures of the Parisian art scene of the early 20thC including Picasso, Modigliani and Braque. This work was painted in 1904 when he was 18 and at the San Carlos Academy, Mexico.

there are still many, many reasons to be skeptical and worried because ICE is fucking evil and could pivot, but this is a MAJOR defeat for trump. even the reddest of red areas were like fuck no we don't want a concentration camp in our town. it became politically untenable bc people fought back.

York Revolution forfeit game after some players refuse to wear 'Pride Night' jersey
The York Revolution has forfeited its game Thursday night against the Southern Maryland Blue Crabs after an internal controversy surrounding "Pride Night" and the pride jersey, according to the team. In a statement, the club announced that, out of respect for the Pride community and the York community as a whole, the June 18 game will be forfeited, but Pride Night festivities will continue as the feature element at WellSpan Park. The decision comes on the heels of several of the team's players refusing to wear the Pride Night jersey. As a result, the club decided the team should not be forced to wear jerseys they aren't comfortable with. However, in the announcement, the club reiterated its belief that hosting the event is more important than playing the game. "We feel that this is the best way to stay consistent with our long-standing partnerships with the Rainbow Rose Center, JLS Automation and the long list of allies that have always been key partners of the York Revolution’s success in York, Pennsylvania," the club wrote in its announcement. As an act of support for the LGBTQIA+ community, the team announced it is making a $10,000 donation to the Rainbow Rose Center to further their work on inclusivity. To be clear; this action by the players is completely inconsistent with our vision as the Most Welcoming Place in York. Tickets for the game are being treated as a rainout and can be redeemed for any future game, the club confirmed.
