My name is Bobby Cole and I'm running to be the next governor of the state of Texas. Who am I? In the words of Greg Abbott: FAFO. Learn more 👉 coleforgovernor.com Donate 👉 secure.actblue.com/donate/stand...

It’s hard to overhype how dangerous this moment is. This a naked attempt to seize government by the right wing billionaire class so they can steal from the American people.

I know you may feel powerless, that you are just one person trying to survive, that you couldn't possibly make a difference, but please hear me out. One drop of rain may seem like nothing, but thousands can make a devastating flood. Keep fighting. Be loud. Don't stop.

We h #resistbot on the job. Use this to contact your Senators and Representative! Stop Musk from taking over our government!

Want to do something meaningful in your own community? Find your local food pantry or institution with a makeshift one–my public library, for instance–and ask what they are most in need of. My library's getting bags of toothpaste, soap bars, broth for canned soup, tuna, and more. Easy, easy, easy.

We must recognize the danger that age verification laws have beyond pornography. They could clear the way for politicians to deem harmful any content they disagree with, such as LGBTQ+ content or content about abortion.

So, if I'm getting this straight... it's against my rights to force me to wear a mask... but it's not against my rights to force me NOT to wear a mask? Is it bodily autonomy or your autonomy over my body?

This probably seems grim, but given recent events, it might be a good idea to publicly display a declaration of life, especially if you fall into one of the target demographics Take mine or make your own:

There’s been a wave of Twitter deactivations since inauguration & people within the disability community are concerned they will lose access to doctors, researchers, mutual aid & necessary peer support. If you know someone who wants to leave, my article on the November exodus might help:

Does anyone know any active left-wing discord servers? I'm looking around but would prefer a personal reference over Google search.

Tip from @snowjob.bsky.social If you have a whitehouse.gov link you want to access and it is down, try replacing "www.whitehouse.gov" with "bidenwhitehouse.archives.gov" The national archives is still doing its job for now.

Please be vigilante when buying and consuming egg and poultry products. Also be careful with feeding any pets raw poultry or poultry infused foods, especially cats!

If you're looking for a place to do some work, the public library is like a coffeeshop where you don't need to buy anything and there's a lot more space and you can stay as long as you like and you don't get any coffee.

Little victories matter! Support the people in power who are willing to stand against him, even if they aren't perfect.

He wants to make sure they are well armed for four years from now.

When someone puts their life on the line to defend this country in uniform, we in turn, promise them health care after their service. Trump froze all hiring at the VA at a time when the VA is experiencing a shortage of doctors & nurses. Unacceptable. Our veterans deserve better.

🚨 CALL TO ACTION 🚨 Today, Michigan legislators vote on a bill that would strip thousands of dollars & paid family leave from our lowest-paid workers. These are the Dems who have indicated they will vote with Matt Hall to give him and the restaurant lobby a win. Please tell them to vote NO

I'm reconsidering even consuming egg and poultry products at this point...

STILL

I love my local library: free access to knowledge and entertainment for everyone. If I can't find what I'm looking for at my library, I use Libby. It's an amazing free app. #library #booksky #reading #libby

You cried about the price of eggs. The Felon has signed a slew of Executive Orders in the past couple of days that had nothing to do with that. The White women who benefitted from DEI and voted for him are about to find out what it's like to be Black. Welcome to my world.☕️

If law enforcement wants to enter your home, unless you consent, they need a JUDICIAL warrant like a search warrant. And you'll notice cops with search warrants don't ask permission. If ICE needs your permission to enter, they don't have a judicial warrant. They have an administrative warrant.

Just FYI, administrative warrants (like the ones used by ICE) are not judicial warrants (used by cops, signed by a judge). You do NOT legally have to open the door for an ICE officer with an administrative warrant *no matter what the ICE officer says.*

Please believe this …

I’ve been seeing posts suggesting a boycott of Meta/FB, due to its owners’ political pandering and irresponsible corporate practices. But, many value the platform for connections to family, friends, & acquaintances — and many don’t want to cede the space to the far right, either. 🧵🧵🧵

I’m just gonna say this and be over with it, but when ACTUAL GERMANS are telling you “it is EXACTLY what you think it is”, believe that shit. Idc what MSM says or how they try to spin it. It is exactly what it is. A N**i salute.

Even if YOU are set with your air filtration #IAQ, give this quick tool a spin, and then share with w/ folks in your network. 👏👏👏 @cleanairstars.com filters.cleanairstars.com

We are living through unprecedented times… and everyone has a story to tell. Don’t assume your social media profiles will be there forever. Write things down. Make hard copies. Share your suffering, fears and pain. You don’t have to be a writer. It doesn’t have to be perfect. Just write it down.

Seems he knows the difference, after all.

Almost all of us with chronic illness have experienced the “it’s not going to kill you so what do you want us to do?” Brush off. They seem to think confirming something won’t kill us is all they have to do. What we really want? A diagnosis. Treatment. Improvement to quality of life. Validation

Ope! The bill would make it “unlawful for a person to discharge genetic material without the intent to fertilize an embryo.” www.wlbt.com/2025/01/22/m...

I heard from my husband who has friends in other countries that they are calling us #NaziAmerica now. That sounds pretty appropriate actually. I don't plan on being a "Good American". #TheOpposition #Resist

The CDC and FDA may not be able to share health updates but rest assured I will always do what I can to fill the void. We discussed flu and ways to keep safe this evening for @nbcnews.com Link: www.king5.com/video/news/h...

Seeing people talk about the "DEI" orders but not much on the fact that they have added an A for "Accessibility" - ie, Disabled people. They are targeting disabled people too. And it looks like they are coming for the ADA.

This, from @clintsmithiii.bsky.social, has been on my mind today.

With ICE raids already starting, remember this when you get asked if you've seen anyone they're looking for, NO I don't remember I haven't seen anyone I don't know Fuck off Ok, maybe not the last one, but erase your memory Be an ally

Indiana is the latest to double down on banning masks … still parsing through the bill to understand exactly what this means for those who mask for their health & the health of others. If you stopped masking, please start again. We must normalize them as a public health tool before it’s too late

I keep seeing discussions of federal DEI cuts that leave out the fact they’re also cutting employees from the Accessibility departments. As I’ve said multiple times, disabled people are the canaries in the coal mine. We should be listened to & incorporated into plans for the good of all people
