The fact that this is getting white disabled people riled is exactly why any disability movement that doesn't take intersectionality into account is bullshit. If talking about racism in disabled spaces angers you, you're part of the problem.

Just read this EO, & wow! The language is so vague that it can apply to any protest mvt from Code Pink to unions going on a strike. & you can bet your bottom dollars that it will Never mind we don’t have a domestic terrorism law. This EO is a highway to oppress any, if not all, opposition mvts.

Law enforcement and public health professionals agree that initiatives such as mental health crisis response teams and drug treatment programs reduce arrests and incarceration. But the Trump administration has slashed funding. bit.ly/4nKwpZx

BREAKING: Further confirmation that the shooter targeted immigrant detainees, not #ICE agents. All three #shooting victims were people ICE was holding and processing at the center. The shooter died of a self inflicted would and has been described as a white male www.fox4news.com/news/dallas-...

…And in this example we have a major corporation pulling a show because it might too overtly criticize self-avowed white supremacist terror networks.

For the record, the local police had to arrive to free the girl from … the federal police. This is horrific. It’s undeniable that we will need trials for ICE officials and officers after all this. “Leominster police arrived at the scene, recovered the child and returned her to the family.”

⚠️TYLENOL & AUTISM—RFK Jr & Trump are wrong—the largest best study in the world in 2.5 MILLION KIDS—found no increased autism risk with acetaminophen (aka paracetamol/Tylenol). A crude analysis found only a tiny 5% risk, but once you adjust via sibling controls, the even tiny 5% risk vaporizes to 0%📉

Anyone who seeks power but isn’t willing to not only speak out but be obstructive with that power doesn’t understand the historical moment nor have what it takes. Kat’s a real one and I hope she’s healing. If you know you know, and what they did to her live on camera leaves more than a mark.

🚨ALL OUT TO THE ANAS AL-SHARIF UNION🚨 NOW UNTIL LATE BU Campus -- 775 Commonwealth Ave At 5 pm today, students of conscience at Boston University liberated the George Sherman Union, renaming it the Anas Al-Sharif Union.

i'm really going to need newsom to stop texting me asking for money, because he's not gonna get it. you're barking up the wrong tree, gavin.

Massachusetts friends: ICE is already ramping up in the Boston area. Get yourself trained to work on the ICE Watch hotline or to join a verification network in your town. Sign up here: www.lucemass.org

Massachusetts is outdoing other states because they are the first to require insurers to cover the cost of COVID shots and other vaccines recommended by state health officials. Vaccines are not accessible if they are unaffordable. Every state needs to follow their lead!

JUST IN: Harvard won summary judgment against the Trump administration with the court finding that the admin violated Harvard's 1st amend. rights. The court has vacated the funding freeze orders and termination letters and issued a permanent injunction. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

nah.

The Democratic Party way… Gavin Newsom continues to push his fascist pro-cop, anti-poor agenda. It’s Red Fascism vs Blue Fascism here in California.

Major update: As of this morning, CVS says it's decided it can offer the vax in 13 of the 16 states IF you get a prescription. Still a big new barrier for many people, but a change from its "no vaccines at all in these states" position yesterday. The three remaining absolute-nos are MA, NV and NM.

In a presser today @cagovernornewsom.bsky.social announced the expansion of California Highway Patrol (CHP) “Crime Suppression Teams.” He says California is ‘partnering’ with cities while Trump ‘militarizes.’ 🤔 It's two sides of the same coin. #CAbudget #CareFirst #ICEAgeIsOver

Enough is enough. The health of the country is in danger. Read our resignation letters: insidemedicine.substack.com/p/breaking-n...

“They have no legal basis for why they detained her or why they’re holding her or why they’re trying to deport her,” said her spouse, Desiree Miller. And immigration officials have yet to provide her or her family any clear answers, she added. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Full resignation letter from Demetre C. Daskalakis, a CDC leader, does not hold back. "The recent shooting at CDC is not why I am resigning. My grandfather, who I am named after, stood up to fascist forces in Greece and lost his life doing so. I am resigning to make him and his legacy proud."

#Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey is directly participating in the Trump administration's campaign of terror against immigrants via an agreement between ICE and the state's Department of Correction. Shameful. #mapoli #AbolishICE

1. If you've scrolled social media lately, you've likely seem Democrats cheering for Gov. Gavin Newsom for trolling Trump relentlessly. You've also likely seen trans people terrified of a Newsom 2028 run. I explain why trans people are not feeling Newsom. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Four journalists were killed by an Israeli strike on a Gaza hospital today, including Mariam Dagga, a freelancer with the @apnews.com. She has a 12-year-old son, who was evacuated from Gaza earlier in the war. She was a true hero, like all of our Palestinian colleagues in Gaza. tinyurl.com/3cn5c9vb

this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like

Another great episode of One Million Experiments which to me is a MUST LISTEN podcast. This episode features Dara Bayer, a founding member & former co-director of Cambridge HEART. HEART is an ongoing community-based crisis response project born from 2020 uprising podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/c...

I debated writing this. It can feel tempting, upon encountering yet another instance of this administration’s racism, to let it be. How many ways can you say the same thing over and over again? And yet we have to write it down, if for nothing else, so those who come after us know we were against it.

Every single person who thinks a trans person should just pipe down until we restore democracy is, in my view, an enemy of democracy. I’m not doing it.

Friendly reminder that your fever, cough, fatigue, aches, gastric symptoms may be the highly contagious new COVID-19 variant, XFG, aka “Stratus.” COVID-related emergency room visits are up among all age groups, as the current wave spreads in the U.S., Canada, globally. September will be rough.

Christine's story is why we need #MedicareForAll because no one should have to visit the ER then have a co pay when you pay for insurance coverage every month.

over 2 months ago, i went to the ER with severe throbbing lower back pain i was afraid was my aorta dissecting (thankfully, it wasn't). just got hit with a $500 bill because that's the copay for an ER trip that doesn't result in being admitted. this system ain't it.

The EPA just withdrew a complaint against a major Trump donor -- GEO Group, which runs ICE detention facilities. The company was spraying a disinfectant without proper protection onto beds and into *microwaves*; detainees reported skin rashes + difficulty breathing www.propublica.org/article/epa-...

COVID-19 rates continue to take off across the U.S. as our summer surge hits every region. All metrics report substantial increases in SARS-CoV-2 spread in recent weeks — and the latest data are from early August, meaning levels may be much higher now than our reported numbers. bit.ly/4mgGDAP

Quite seriously, Jeanine is going to make them charge this. It's going to be on us to answer those jury summonses, get on the juries, and refuse to convict. Not everyone understands that a jury can do that, even when it's all on video. Spread the good word.

On this day in 2014, Michael Brown, an unarmed Black teenager, was killed by a white police officer in Ferguson, Missouri. A grand jury refused to indict the officer, who was never held accountable.

"More than 1,500 civilians may have been massacred during an attack on Sudan’s largest displacement camp in April, in what would be the second-biggest war crime of the country’s catastrophic conflict." www.theguardian.com/global-devel...

things i never thought i'd have to tell my mom, but did today: i am doing the best i can while i am alive to not feed my face or words into AI; please don't do it after i am dead.

looked up the clip just because sometimes people change his words for captions that end up innocently reshared, but upon finding it decided to share the video because hearing him say it makes it 1000% more definitely true and everyone will listen/believe more than reading it written out

The Washington Post just published the names of more than 18,500 children in Gaza killed by Israel. www.washingtonpost.com/world/intera...

This is extremely important. What is described in this thread would constitute massive corruption of the U.S. legal system, aided and abetted by a public university. Journalists must immediately examine the facts here, and so should California legislators and regulators. Shocking.

This is unfortunate: www.nytimes.com/2025/07/28/u... I wrote to the president of Harvard. I hope other faculty will speak their conscience, even if it means more struggle ahead.

did anyone seriously think harvard WOULDN'T eventually cut a deal with the trump administration?? i genuinely don't understand.

Gaza Freedom Flotilla has released statement that Black labour leader Chris Smalls (Amazon Labour Union) faced violence that no one else on Handala did. He has been severely beaten in Israeli custody. Smalls follows in legacy of Black radical tradition for Palestine. Labour must stand for Smalls.

"Brandon is proof that each of us can show up for the most vulnerable in our communities. We can do so with what’s within our capacity to offer. We can be the people on the banks."

Tell the State Department to free Chris Smalls and other US citizens on board the Handala which was on a mission of mercy to Gaza. X: @StateDept and @SecRubio FB: @U.S. Department of State Instagram: @statedept @secrubio
