While the media chums it up with Greene, reminder that she has a bill going before the House today to make it a *federal crime* to provide or advocate for healthcare for trans youth.

This should be the biggest story in the country right now. The sitting US President was extorting state lawmakers from his own party by threatening to withhold public money if they didn’t gerrymander for him. I don’t know how else to say it…

ah yes, all workers should have the right to hurl racial slurs at black customers

Carpool Karaoke has gotten weird

You are ABSOLUTELY NOT going to regret listening to this bird:

And if you want to help me through this time, the easiest and best way to do so is donate to my GFM - bsky.app/profile/mzak...

Shout out to the absolute weirdo creeping on this 3+ month old thread bc they’re…still mad I called out their friend? maybe just very unhinged? or simply don’t have anything better to do? and accidentally liking this post in the process 😂😂

based on how often the naughty teens of major cities throw the rentable scooters directly into the river i've formed a theory that the many iron age swords and cauldrons found in lakes around europe that we've previously assumed were ceremonial and sacrificial in nature were in fact thrown by teens

i’m genuinely so convinced all of this has been a planned operation by the student and her mother (who is commenting on this publicly, and associated closely with the republican party), and big far right propaganda account going all in on it. this is designed to oust trans people from public life

"Never spread the lie in the headline" should be a hard rule of 21st century journalism. Research shows that repeating lies helps to spread them, and people read headlines more than they read stories.

This is such badly written circular-reasoning nonsense bullshit that came from a JUNIOR IN COLLEGE and she’s mad she didn’t get a participation trophy by way of a passing grade? 🤨

This is fundamentally Nazism. The idea that different peoples than the favored races carry degradation in their very genes, that they cannot strive to become better because biology compels them to be worse. It’s not just repugnant, it’s a bald faced lie.

Indigenous actress Elaine Miles of "Northern Exposure" was detained by ICE at a Redmond bus stop. When she showed them her Tribal ID, they told her it was fake

🧵 We are, in fact, doing the thing again for @onesimplewish.bsky.social. In 2024, the kind people of this community put the money cannon on blast to help grant $75K in wishes for children in foster care. Toys, tech, a suit for job interviews. Here we go again! 👇 www.onesimplewish.org/giving/megwa...

The federal government is faking evidence in major criminal cases and then lying when caught. In addition to that they are destroying evidence of their crimes against humanity and the population.

Hey y’all - @sirivplouff.bsky.social is having surgery next week for an ovarian cyst that needs removing on the day before Thanksgiving. They need assistance with meals & funds to help recover from missing work as they could be out as long as six weeks! #HeathenSky #WitchSky #PaganSky #MutualAid

You don't often see this at the end of a whistleblower story:

Richest nation in human history

I understand the, "but they're not actually Christians!" impulse that comes from too many people re fascism. They WANT to believe the religion that preaches love, tolerance, & forgiveness couldn't possibly be responsible for all of this. Buckle up. 1/x #PaganSky #Christianity #WitchSky #HeathenSky

Pizzagate: If you replace the word “hot dog” with “little boy” and “pizza party” with “child sex orgy,” you will see the lengths these elites go to cover up their crimes. Real elite emails: Send me nude pictures of those 8th graders we abused last weekend post-haste! I am the Ambassador to Turkey.

So many of us probably have intuited this but it bears repeating that the these fools really believe they can overwrite history and facts and gaslight us into believing their version of events that we lived through and witnessed ourselves while insisting on the infallibility of this tech

A month or so ago I decided to catch back up on @friends-table.bsky.social starting with the Road to Palisade eps. Certainly A Lot to listen to atm for obvious reasons but also SO good and I just wrapped #25 which made me ugly cry 😭

sounds like a very normal, super hinged guy who is thinking rationally

it's not that i ever doubted that being a barista was a skilled position, but my year-long effort to try to produce a half-decent latte at home has convinced me that a good barista is easily more skilled than virtually every c-suite executive on the planet

In 2008, a blogger named Curtis Yarvin called for a future president to kill foreign aid programs as part of a plan to replace democracy with dictatorship. Now 600,000 people are dead—and 14 million will die by 2030, according to the Lancet. This is the running death toll of tech fascism.

"'They’re spending more money than I would even tax them,' [Mamdani] said in an interview with MSNBC last week." This is the message. Make it clear that these billionaires aren't just worried about losing money. They're worried about losing the ability to exchange their money for power.

This needs more attention: Zohran SPLIT the straights with Cuomo. ALL of his margin was from LGBTQ+ voters. Every Dem who ever said “we should abandon the transes” needs this shoved down their fucking throat with a ramrod.

thank you for all the support; the statement from our union is now live here with some more reporting. now that this is public I can confirm that the majority of today’s layoffs were women of color. there are no longer any Black women working at Teen Vogue.

Blackface that exists without any actual human behind the makeup is a special kind of dystopian phenomenon

From tonight's Silent Supper. Blessings of the Ancestors to you, friends. You are the result of the love of thousands 💚 #samhain #PaganSky #WitchSky

Well, an acquaintance who relies on the ACA marketplace for insurance just received a notice explaining that their fee for coverage will be rising. Right now they pay $180 a month. The new price? $2733.15 a month.

Rep. Clay Higgins of Louisiana blames SNAP recipients for not stockpiling a month's worth of food. He ends his tweet with "stop smoking crack."

If you have it please donate cash to the food banks. $10 in their hands will feed more people than the $10 worth of canned goods you can buy for retail prices. Also check on your elders. Many of them will not admit they rely on these programs so grocery gift cards or a surprise bag of staples

I know this is a big ask but a friend of a friend was vending at a local farmer’s market yesterday & lost her wallet, which had ALL her earnings in it (~$300). She’s a single mom of three who uses SNAP benefits so this is awful timing. If you have any $$ to chip in, her Venmo is @GreatFullGardens 🙏🏻

Two things you can do to help remove RFK Jr: 1) Call your electeds and tell them he needs to go. There's already drafts of impeachment/removal work in both House and Senate. Tell electeds to support them. 2) Sign the petition that'll go to the HELP Committee in the Senate at firerfk.wordpress.com

Like if we could just start with white supremacy is illogical-it's not a far jump to Antichrist walks among us. Recognize that white supremacy isn't a mental illness. It's an attempt to hoard power. Once you've embraced the fallacy of white supremacy, you have shown your judgment to be broken.

Well well well

listen to trans POC when we tell you that doomerism isn't the way, and that radical optimism has been the only path towards survival and freedom throughout our history!

Examples of how fascist untruths get regurgitated as fact by LLMs are ubiquitous, but this one is really jarring. The Harvard Kennedy School article Gemini scraped is entirely about how the claim is false. Gemini cannot parse this, instead sharing DHS propaganda as fact when you search her name.

the guy pointing the gun at an unarmed civilian at close range sure has an interesting patch on his helmet 🧐

2021, MSFT claimed a Teams app could read emotional affect & I's like "holy shit this will fuck over so many Black & autistic & otherwise neurodivergent & women & non-binary ppl & ppl w/ chronic pain & … like Everybody at any of those intersections." This PainChek thing is that, but a doctors' tool

Please believe me when I tell you: Double the fuck down on your spiritual practice now. You are going to need it. And no, that doesn't have to be a prayer-god thing. The thing that sustains and nourishes you. That makes you more alive to yourself, the world, others. More present. More:

it is ALWAYS worth pointing out who gets to be just a helpless little innocent precious baby boy at the age of 34, vs. who is framed by the cops as a big scary dangerous man whose candy bar might be a gun when he's barely in middle school, or described as a "13-year-old woman" by her predator
