This doesn’t seem much like a group you can reform. If they don’t follow current law, why would they follow new, more restrictive ones?

GOOD.

Friendly reminder that it is uncool and mean to dogpile on businesses (especially small businesses) that can’t close on Friday for the strike, especially when so many are doing what they can to show solidarity.

This is what letting RFK jr go wild on health looks like

Heads up everyone, it’s not just Minnesota. These fuckers are still doing their fascist bullshit across the nation.

By all means, then more congressional restrictions will certainly get them to follow laws and court orders even though they aren’t now.

Fuck this coward of a man.

This is one of the things that I find is most shocking to people outside Minnesota who don’t realize it yet—the scale at which everyone who isn’t white has been forced into a spectrum of hiding. Very good article drawing out the Tahrir Square comparison.

I said what I said about the silly people who say, "But there has to be a path back for MAGA folk!🤡" There has always been a path back. It's never been an issue at all. Many anti-MAGA folk spent some part of their life on the hateful side. But the path back involves repair. Undoing harm. Like this.

It's hard to look away. And that's before adding in the shit going on in your individual lives. I'm sorry for adding to it with RTs and the like. The balance between informed and overwhelmed is...let's say precarious.

Woke up this morning with anxiety worse than usual. Sometimes, you just need a nice voice to talk you down. youtu.be/c0aqDu8Dmvo?...

As I said in an earlier post, I am prone to overwhelm myself. This list is not exhaustive, and it does mention leaning on community. What would you add?

Because ICE isn't acting like the SS or stormtroopers now. They are acting like American police forces have always acted. The only difference is that they are doing it to more people in public that aren't Black. The cameras are catching the behavior of jump out squads and task forces in new areas

ICE and CBP agents have been caught repeatedly in all manner of crimes against immigrants. And yet somehow now when the victims are white they're out of control. They were always out of control. They were always predatory and abusive. I hope this is a tipping point. But I fear it is not.

This is why I object to the framing of "good person who didn't deserve to be shot in the street" because it positions the problem as who was shot not that the shooting happened at all. ICE has shot almost 100 people since 2015, and even if we only count fatalities 31 people have died from shootings

To paraphrase @greatdismal.bsky.social The fascism was always here, just not as evenly distributed

"look to the helpers" THEY'RE MURDERING THE HELPERS

If you know me irl, feel free to ask me, too. The refusal of the political class to give a damn about people with AIDS was appalling & infuriating. Same for the American public, tbh. Homophobia, xenophobia, & racism are a hell of a brew. AIDS activists were almost entirely on their own.

German Jews were citizens of Germany at the start of 1933. By the end of 1933, the Nazis had removed citizenship from naturalized citizen Jews. In 1935, all German Jews were fully stripped of their German citizenship. Citizenship under dictatorships is contingent for targeted minorities.

Disablism and white supremacy are inextricably intertwined.

I'm gonna say this with all the kindness in my heart: you aren't going to survive if you don't let your life have room for other things. This is not a short term fight where we can just go 24/7 and then it will be over. We've got YEARS ahead of us. Take a break. Hydrate. Go bake something. Breathe.

Gavin Newsom is a slick-talking rich transphobic cop-loving dishonest opportunist. He takes his marching orders from billionaires. Newsom is a phony. I think most Americans can see right through him. I don't think he stands a chance in the general. He's Joe Lieberman with better hair.

Mississippi’s largest synagogue was set on fire before dawn Saturday. Fire department ruled it arson, and a suspect has been arrested. It is the same synagogue that the Ku Klux Klan bombed in 1967 because the rabbi supported civil rights. mississippitoday.org/2026/01/10/f...

“.. In the last four months alone, immigration officers have fired on at least nine people in five states and Washington, D.C. All of the individuals targeted in those shootings were, like the woman killed on Wednesday, fired on while in their vehicles.” @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2026/01/07/u...

I just want people to remember that what this was was transparently obvious at the time and universally condemned. Hold on to that fact and don't let people change it under you.

I'm seeing a lot of posts to call your reps but little on actually how. 5calls.org is a great site where you can put in your zip code and get numbers for your house representative and two senators. You also can get a script if you're like me and stumble over your thoughts.

Call your reps + please read the thread. Do it now, please. Script.

And are they going to pay my husband while he gets retrained at 50 for these blue collar jobs? You told him to go to college, so he did. Got a higher degree in a science. Then AI took the jobs. But he doesn’t have HVAC certification or know how to fix an engine. So he gets a blue collar job how?

Read this slowly: infections this week could add 20 000 new long Covid victims in Canada. Twenty-thousand people whose daily lives will be terribly affected. Avoiding Covid is essential. 😷

Neither is Covid. But I’m still gonna do my very best to avoid it. Just like I do with generative AI. (Not all AI is bad. AI to detect cancer? Amazing! Generative AI? Water-guzzling theft slop.)

I don’t want to be a fucking consumer. I want to be a patient.

All.

Yes, just like dressing up for flights, faux wood paneling on the sides of our huge station wagons is exactly what’s missing from our society. Screw feeding kids or affordable healthcare. WE NEED FAUX WOOD PANELS AND WE NEED THEM NOW.

A study by Dayforce shows 87% of executives use AI for work, compared to 57% of managers and just 27% of employees. I think this explains the massive disconnect we see in how CEOs talk about AI versus everyone else. It also raises the question of how useful it truly is for frontline work?

happiest birthday to my friend and romance author Janine Amesta! Treat yourself to one of her books and wish her the best today also if you take a peek you might see a zero penny holiday steal 🎄 for one of her books 👀 amzn.to/48iWLNL #romancelandia

People die because they and their families spent their last weeks fighting with insurance to cover procedures sought by doctors. And it’s not medical oversight — it’s profit-seeking. The US health insurance system is immoral.

This is wonderful news, and also means it’s time for me to beat the drum I always do when HPV vaccines make the news: They are not only for women! HPV also causes penile, anal, and head and neck cancers. The latter are particularly deadly. Please vaccinate ALL your children.

This novella is fabulous!! Grab it while it’s a bargain today and then you’ll have a fun reward waiting when the turkey coma hits. :)
