🚨 Urgent Appeal 🚨 I am a father trying to keep my child alive with no shelter, no food, and no medicine. 💔 My child is hungry, afraid, and exhausted every day. I urgently need $200 for basic food to survive. Please don’t let us face this alone—donate 🙏 gofund.me/b3dbf9803

DOJ charges there are too many Black students at Yale’s School of Medicine. Pray tell, how many constitute “too many” & based on what? This time last yr, an alum of #uvalaw ✍️ an op-ed saying there were too many Blacks there. Wherever we are & in whatever numbers, we are too many & must disappear.

Here is Elon Musk bragging about how he "accidentally" canceled all Ebola prevention efforts (DOGE never fully restored the canceled contracts)

This is how I felt when I saw a whole family at the local zoo yesterday wearing “Diesel for Charlie” t-shirts (including a toddler) and then I tried to figure out what that was all about. It’s a whole other universe out there.

$200/5600, update. Thank you! Please keep sharing, liking, and donating. I appreciate each and every one of you.

And the fact of them not caring about our consent is central. The pushers of AI don't care about consent. That's why they scrape artwork & writing without legal permission for sources. They also want to force AI on as much of the world as they can for profit, especially as it proves unprofitable.

This pairs well with my last QT. These things aren’t new, as evidenced by the fable being resurrected here. This is what all of “American History” has been. Fables told by people in service of a false reality.

I feel like this makes sense because “trying to create a reality that doesn’t exist” is what the entire American project has been from the beginning

I can’t get enough of these

Let's support Obada! He's my good friend & this is his precious little girl. She's such a sweetie. 🥰

There is this belief that tech companies prey upon destitute areas besieged by poverty. Fayetteville is actually a very beautiful and desirable area. It's just black.

“…reinforcing previous studies, the researchers found that a patchwork of state, federal and local policies allow data center operators to avoid publicly disclosing their actual water use.”

How can anyone keep going with any sense of regular life when this is happening every day

Really hoping to make some movement on this soon so I can start fundraising for June bills and not fall behind. 💸💕 🙏 #settlersaturday #tipaNative #kindnessnetwork

The only defense against Fascism that doesn't leave us bleeding out is accepting this simple truth: There are no disposable people.

I watched Independence Day and had a lot of feelings about America, and the art empires leave behind houseofmirrors.substack.com/p/the-hollyw...

This all sounds like good news

There isn’t much left to say except that your children will be less well-rounded than you. Less well-read than you. Less intelligent than you. Less able to problem solve than you. Leas worldly than you. Less empathetic. Less equipped. And more helpless. For the first time in living history.

Thousands are marching in Selma calling for a full restoration of the voting rights act.

As long as countries like the U.S. keep giving them bombs, Israel is going to keep bombing Gaza. So safest is getting Samaa & family out but that's ~$5K/person. Until that can be raised ANYTHING towards expensive smuggled-in food & supplies helps. Pls RS/QS. Pls do what you can. #HelpFolksLive2026

We really need to take a zero-tolerance approach to AI whenever we encounter it. Just absolutely shame people for even suggesting this stuff. No sugar coating, just straight up ridicule.

There's a major civil rights protest taking place in Selma, Alabama, right now in response to the SCOTUS decision that weakened the Voting Rights Act and the ongoing attack on Black Americans’ political power (video: defiancedispatch/IG)

I’m afraid that too many people don’t understand just how terrible the Biden pandemic response was—and how it contributed to Trump’s return. I also fear that given how much this administration has dismantled public health, the appetite for looking back and identifying points of failure is low.

Juniper Blessing sings “Se tu m’ami” in the finals of Canzonnette Italiane

This happened 11 days after Kent State.

I’m a disabled Black Native queer woman that’s been pushed into unsteady work through this employment crisis. A degree and experience seem to not matter anymore. I’m nearing my wits end. My payment links are in bio. linktr.ee/final__grrrl linktr.ee/dominalaveau

Today marks Nakba Day, an annual day of remembrance to commemorate the expulsion of more than 700,000 Palestinians between 1947 and 1949 during the creation of the State of Israel and the year that followed.   Inea is a New Yorker and a Nakba survivor. She shared her story with us.

None of this is "crazy" it's just fucking whiteness. That's it. Whiteness.

"A new report is raising questions about how U.S. law enforcement agencies across the South classify the deaths of transgender women, arguing that some cases ruled suicides may warrant deeper scrutiny"

her name was juniper blessing, and a blessing is what she was.

Sometimes I think about how there's no free for use medical centers being built for COVID but we sure enough have money for torture centers to force people to stop existing.

Her name was Juniper Blessing. www.them.us/story/junipe...

This is diabolical

What's gutting about this is that Juniper seems to have had a family who supported and loved her, she was in a community that has been explicitly welcoming to trans people, and a man still murdered her. She was living the life so many trans people can only dream of, and it simply didn't matter.

Fort Covington, NY - "It was so unfathomable that our children were seeing these boxes and hearing children screaming in these boxes," said Herne, a parent and a member of the tribal community. "I cried, I threw up and I immediately grabbed my laptop and said, What are we going to do?"

incredible and shameful there isn’t international condemnation of the united states for collective punishment of 10 million people

a return to the Comstock Act is entirely consistent with the desire to prevent usage of VPNs, require identification to access the internet, and generally clamp down on the ability for information to be shared freely. our past is their destination. they'll fail, inevitably. but it'll be bloody.

"She informed a guard that her water had broken... Another guard who checked on her later that morning accused her of wetting herself and instructed her to return to her cell" These are the conditions that 55,000+ pregnant people are admitted to each year

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

The victim was a 19 year old transgender woman. She was stabbed to death in the laundry room of her student apartment complex. Seattle police just released these pictures of the suspect. If you know who he is, you can call the tip line at 206-233-5000.

It’s not just me, it’s not just authors, it’s not even just disabled people, it’s society as a whole. No one is owed frictionless authorship. It’s not even possible, because authorship is about the words only you can say, and that takes work and time. That’s what we’re owed. The chance to try.

Current authors aren’t the only ones being stolen from. People who could discover writing, even if it’s painful, even if the climb is steep, are being told that’s not necessary. Just use this modern author simulator to make your words sound not like you. That’s wrong.
