Next they'll be rewriting textbooks to say Japanese American internment camps were delightful summer resorts.

It’s not actually about the right to opt out, but making it harder for the rest of us to get vaccinated. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/28/w...

I’m not upset if someone on SNAP wants to buy chips. There are very wealthy people in this country who profit off Americans who have cancer. That does upset me.

Tending is a love letter to rural queers and our relationship to land. Ceramic vessels by Caitlin Rose Sweet and video art by Caitlin Rose Sweet and Andre Azevedo Sweet. Save the date for the screening Sept 27 at Shadow Walls in Purling Ny. Begins at dusk

It's really weird to demand accountability from a NYC mayoral candidate for a deadly NYC shooting rather than the current NYC mayor, an ex-cop who campaigned on a "tough on crime" platform and promptly got indicted for crimes

1. Now they are going after adult recreational leagues. AG Ken Paxton is attempting to use consumer protection laws to argue that even allowing a trans person to compete in a rec league is engaging in "deceptive practices." This could be a horrible precedent. Subscribe to support our journalism.

The new cottage guests are from Philly. Within moments of meeting the dude exclaimed “I love shitting in that shack!” And when I explained how I use the composted material he was like “happy to fertilize!”

Nice to see Cuomo finally being a team player and campaigning for Zohran

A reminder that after years of speaking out against Epstein and giving other survivors the courage to come forward, Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre died by suicide in April at the age of 41. Let's not forget that there are real human tragedies behind everything we're discussing.

Fucking bleak

I don’t miss living in the city but damn I wish I could vote for him

I love that former NYT public editor @sulliview.bsky.social is public-editing from the outside. "With this made-up scandal, combined with the pre-election editorial, the Times looks like it’s on a crusade against Mamdani. "And no lofty explanation about the mission can disguise it."

BREAKING: Six leading medical organizations filed a lawsuit on Monday against Robert F. Kennedy Jr., the health secretary, and the health dept, charging that recent decisions limiting access to vaccines were unscientific and harmful to the public. (Gift link) www.nytimes.com/2025/07/07/h...

On the phone with my dad last night…weirdly good convo. It’s like living under fascism makes him more emotionally available

Last year I watched my partner become a citizen. Now I’m trying to learn Portuguese on YouTube cuz I’m afraid of our future here

The entire Latino population in the U.S. is 65 million. She means all of us.

McGovern: "A family making less than $50,000 a year? They get less than $1 a day in tax cuts. You can't buy a damn cup of coffee with that. But those making a million dollars or more? They'll get more than $250 a day in tax breaks ... that's how rigged this bill is to benefit the wealthy."

Heads up, the fight is not over with respect to the trans care medicaid amendment. Marjorie Taylor Greene has reintroduced it on the House side. Call your house reps now and tell them not to approve it. Even republicans, especially moderate Republicans.

Anyone who isn't rich who voted for Trump got suckered.

This is not normal

Programs like Medicaid and SNAP literally keep people alive. This isn’t a reconciliation bill, it’s a big death bill.

Do they really think they can scare us with the word “socialist” when they are literally sending out men in masks with no warrants and no badges to disappear people off American streets? I know what I’m scared of, and it’s not a socialist.

CUOMO CONCEDES… ZOHRAN MAMDANI WILL BE THE NOMINEE…

“U.S. Officials Concede They Don’t Know Whereabouts of Iran’s Uranium Stockpile” Mission accomplished! 🤦🏽‍♂️

I live in a pretty conservative rural county. Last night I attended a grant ceremony for a local art org. My very queer project got funded and so did many feminist art projects. Also a short film about the dignity of Palestine life and cultural. Feeling proud of my local community

For those unconditionally cheering the attacks on Iran, remember that our early strikes in Afghanistan and Iraq were “successful”. But we ended up getting dragged into costly wars that created more terrorists than we killed. The American people haven’t forgotten that.

Working on a project about rural queers relationships to land has been a balm to my soul

PHILLY: Man posing as an ICE agent robs car repair business, ties up and manhandles a woman from the Dominican Republic — “He kept saying he is immigration officer.” It was only a matter of time before these masked vigilantes breed impersonators. www.fox29.com/video/1501153

Wow. He gives a perfect précis of what when down when people were stuck at a traffic light. With ICE.

All we want is healthcare.

not a data take but this is fucked up. cutting food benefits to poor moms, infants, and toddlers is pointlessly cruel. not a partisan issue, just straightforwardly fucked. the cruelty is the point. call your congressperson

Weeks ago I made a thoughtful video and post about my new collab project with lil response. My ego was like ouch. Today I posted a meme about it and damn so much people reached out.

Republican support for gay marriage has fallen to 41%. For those in the LGBTQ+ community who do not believe they are coming after gay marriage next after their draconian anti-trans restrictions, you're in for a surprise - we are all in this together.

I have a huge request for my readers: Trump's tax and spending bill will be moving through the Senate. Senators can invoke the Byrd Rule to try to remove the anti-trans Medicaid ban and EHB changes. You can find and call your senator here and ask them to do that. Please share as well.

This is what happens when you put internet conspiracy theorists in charge of major government departments.

If you are sincere about wanting to make America healthy, the last thing you should do is cause millions of people to lose health insurance.

1. Terrifying news for transgender people across the United States. In a late night development, the House Spending Bill was amended to ban transgender coverage for transgender ADULTS on medicaid! A manager's amendment removed the words "for minors." Subscribe to support my journalism.

Rep. @maxwellfrost.bsky.social : “The biggest transfer of wealth from the working poor to billionaires in our history… My generation already expects we'll never be able to afford a home, get out of debt, retire— Trump and the Republicans are making it worse.” #TrumpsTrillionsTransfer
