“First among nations” is a real stretch.

I have never seen anything like this in NYC. 5th Ave covered from 42nd St well to the 20s. Nobody prepared for this volume. Volunteers are holding the traffic on all the side streets. No police in sight. #handsoff

This is Utah in case anyone’s wondering how pissed off people are. I have never seen anything like this.

Disabled people are NOT listened to by the government. We are treated as expendable & our opinions not considered. If we had been consulted on pandemic policy I guarantee we would be in a better place” It’s time to start listening to the disability community. We can help with the resistance:

High school students in Los Angeles have walked out of class and assembled at city hall to protest ICE deportations.

Incredible turnout in Indianapolis for the #50501Protest 🙌 Even the icy rain didn’t stop hundreds of people from coming out to protest #ICE #Musk #Trump and KKK It was absolutely amazing 🙌✌️💙 Thanks for turning up #Hoosiersky Let’s GO!

The Treasury Department right now. People are turning out against Musk and DOGE staging a takeover of the Treasury’s payment system. This crowd is big. The whole block is packed. “Lock him up,” everyone yells.

Growing up in a family with a narcissistic psychopath at the helm makes navigating the current political landscape extremely challenging. It is a daily onslaught of triggers, especially for those of us who have still not reached safety from these people in our personal lives. On top of that, 👇🏻

Big 👏 to thesicktimes.bsky.social for this truly exceptional & much-needed piece. Thank you! “It is very common for people with Long COVID and those taking COVID-19 precautions to experience grief over lost intimacy with friends.” thesicktimes.org/2025/01/30/t...

Don't wait to stand up for disability rights until you become disabled yourself

And it begins. FBI class action lawsuit against the retaliatory purge. First Amendment Violation of Due Process Rights to Privacy www.justsecurity.org/wp-content/u...

Endorsing RFK Jr. as HHS secretary is like endorsing Jeffrey Dahmer as dietary adviser.

I voted to reject RFK Jr.'s nomination to HHS. I cannot in good conscience support someone who denies and will dilute our public health protections, sow distrust in science, and oversee massive cuts to health care programs for vulnerable Americans.

We never made classrooms COVID safe. Schools were hotbeds of COVID transmission. Kids died. Teachers and other school staff died. Family members living with kids died. Many who didn’t die—including kids—got long COVID. THAT is what we didn’t reckon with. All we ever hear about is harms of closure

Crockett: I am tired of the white tears. When you compare me to Marjorie Taylor Greene or me to Lauren Boebert, there is no comparison. So the only people that are crying are the mediocre white boys that have been beaten out by people that historically have had to work so, so much harder

NY Governor Hochul signed a bill to ensure doctors who provide abortion medication to patients outside the State have legal protection She stated that she would never “under any circumstances” turn Carpenter over to Louisiana Carpenter is charged with providing abortion meds to Louisiana patient

Hi, guys! I’m getting more paranoid about Tw*tter, so I may be spending a little more time over here. If you can help me find my CC people, I’d be so grateful! 🙏🏻🙏🏻😷

Abled people, this is where you need to step up, and the absolute easiest thing you can do is wear a mask in public. Normalizing masking is resistance. Yeah, you’ll probably get pushback. Imagine how those of us with no choice but to mask feel. Be a better ally. The literal future depends on it.

Maybe it’s the trauma fatigue & triggers or PMS, but the idea of starting over here after building such a community over there is depressing and deflating. I hate change. I hate goodbyes. And I really don’t have it in me. 1/

Every time I get a notification that more than one person followed me, as soon as I follow one back and go to find the next one, they disappear. So, it’s making it very difficult to follow people back.

I’m staying on the other place, but it’s not safe for me to tweet my Bluesky info there. My username and profile pic are different, so here’s my other-place account in case any people in the CC community see this. 😷💖

Just found out a mosquito with West Nile was found in my neighborhood, and I have had at least 3 mosquito bites in the last several days…just when I was starting to feel like I dodged Covid at all of my drs appts last week…this is too much for my nervous system. 😭😱 Fuck this place.
