“Renee was not the first person killed, and she was not the last,” Becca Good said. “You know my wife’s name and you know Alex’s name, but there are many others in this city being harmed that you don’t know — their families are hurting just like mine, even if they don’t look like mine.”

There is A LOT of misinformation going around about the continued funding of ICE. It ISN'T a done deal. Yes, it passed in the House, but the Senate hasn't taken it up yet. That's the way this shit works. CONTACT YOUR SENATOR NOW AND TELL THEM TO VOTE THIS FUNDING DOWN.

HAPPENING NOW: A massive crowd is gathered in freezing temperatures outside ICE headquarters in DC to demand ICE OUT OF ALL COMMUNITIES NOW.

No one deserves to be executed, which is exactly what ICE is doing to people. No one deserves to be kidnapped and detained. Deported without due process. Sexually assaulted. Denied accommodations and medical care. Don’t fall into the “perfect victim” trap. We all have rights or no one does.

Alex Pretti, Renee Good, and Keith Porter Jr. were murdered. Marimar Martinez was shot. Mahmoud Khalil was arrested and jailed. The next could be you. What’s at stake isn’t just our democracy. It’s also your safety and security and that of your loved ones. This is personal — to every one of us.

If your reps are on this list, 🚮

From a first-person perspective, what’s it like in your head?

“Before COVID, I probably saw a few people on maybe a month basis, not more than 20 a year. I'm [now] seeing that almost on a daily basis, so the incidents have gone up tremendously.” Spoiler Alert: We have nowhere near enough dysautonomia aware specialists to handle this influx in patients. /1

He reminds me of another little scrunched ear kitty I know… Miss Mashed Potatoes!

As kids get sicker, media ignores scientific papers pointing to immune damage after COVID. Instead, parents are urged to “watch out” for unusual waves of RSV, flu, pneumonia, & more, while masks, clean air and the pandemic are pointedly never mentioned. www.thegauntlet.news/p/kids-keep-...

The pandemic is ongoing.

Don’t forget about tomorrow’s Take Down Tesla protests happening across the country! Since we launched the Elon boycott, Tesla’s stock has plummeted from over $400 to $262. Let’s keep the momentum going!

Memorialized on the first page of my new sketchbook. 💕

Defunding schools who allow protests is some next level fascist garbage. But please don’t miss the “No masks!” Line. JD Vance instituted a federal ban on mask mandates. Many States and counties have banned masks with problematic & insufficient medical exemptions If you want to resist? Mask up!

Visited my mom today. Her partner died a few days ago. He was a wonderful man, gone much too soon. We hung some of the paintings he owned in her living room, reminisced, cried, hugged a lot. Grieving is so hard. Glad I could be there for her though.

🥲 (good work, everyone, keep protesting until that goes down to $0)

Baby Ume always makes me smile 🥰

Today is Disability Day of Mourning. Please take a moment to remember those who have been lost at the hands of family and caregivers. We are also mourning those lost to COVID. Many disabled people are afraid for their lives right now, reasonably so. Please, just a moment, just remember them.

One of Norway's largest fuel companies just announced that they will no longer refuel US Navy vessels after Trump’s treatment of Zelenskyy. “It made us sick... We encourage all Norwegians and Europeans to follow our example.”

"Singer, who has been accused of making transphobic statements on social media, allegations she denies." Certainly can't deny it now, if she even could reasonably do so before. Judy Singer is an unrepentant TERF & deserves all natural consequences that go along with those views & that behavior.

This is not a new idea, btw. Einstein considered himself a citizen of the world, & modern passports are a relatively new invention.

Oh damn. Time to find a new shampoo that doesn’t trigger my mast cells.

Me: *seeking information* Neurotypicals: You don't need information!! You got this!!! ♥️

Please, please, please join me in contacting your congressional representatives IMMEDIATELY to tell Congress to STAND UP AND ACT. Call tool: act.pih.org/foreign-aid-... Email tool: act.pih.org/foreign-aid-...

It's $880 billion over the next decade. Still cruel, but ending Medicaid is too stupid even for the GOP to consider. So it is more like a 10% cut, which is still massive. Most of the budget and cuts are written that way. The tax cuts would add ~$4.7 Trillion deficit over a decade.

Some “moderate” Republicans flipped & ended up supporting this evil budget resolution. They voted to cut Medicaid & services their constituents depend on. The budget fight isn’t over. But if you are represented by any of these people that voted yes.. make sure they hear from you.

I understand and appreciate the sentiment I do but thats not what it means either. The idea of being aware of systemic racism being made a byword by the right only to be sanitized as general good heartedness demonstrates how concepts are drained of vigor. variety.com/2025/film/ne...

I don’t believe you are a mistake, wrong or broken. We are who we are. This space is a safe space for all those they want to force to the margins.

Tricky as hell with COVID and anti mask sentiment, especially for housebound and/or immunocompromised people. (I'm both.) Mask tf up. If enough people do, I can have the in person social life I deserve & won't have to be so dangerously lonely.

I'm wondering if #TeslaTakedown is the first big organised IRL activism organised almost entirely on bsky? www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office. Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc. Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.

Medicaid coverage for virtual visits ends April 1st. As someone who cares for children that live up to 8 hours away, this is DEVASTATING. Children, adults, elderly will all suffer. CALL YOUR REPRESENTATIVES The 5 calls app makes it easy!

No. The time to panic is never, and the sooner public health and media stop framing it this way the better. Should we take COVID, influenza, and other pathogens seriously? Should we mitigate their transmission? Should we increase surveillance? YES. www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

Someone you know needs SSRIs to function. Someone you know needs stimulants to function. These drugs don't make people violent. These drugs allow people to vacuum their house. To wash their dishes. I see you! #staysafe #neurodivergent

We should have learned this kind of thing in art history class. Not just to identify his works by style.

Describe yourself using 5 items that are in your bag at any given time 1. Water 2. Spare electrolytes 3. Spare medications 4. Ear defenders 5. Snacks (protein bars, dried apricots)

I’ve heard some stories recently of people complying with fascists’ demands after they were threatened. As a violence researcher (and someone who has received a good deal of threats), everyone should know that complying will not save you. It only teaches the threatener that threats work.

A Trump-Musk memo telling US government employees to hide what’s happening from the public is a sign that: 1) Public legitimacy is a constraint for them, they know it, and will at times alter their behavior accordingly 2) Reporters should focus on it, revealing more of what they’re trying to hide

Certain members of my family and my partner’s family are like this too. It sucks. Don’t be like this.

A.I. is a tool of oppression & erasure. Please stop enriching oligarchs by using it for your Blue Resistance memes. Just draw stick figures & use alt-text.

I’d like to get back into photography too, but must overcome the photo library management issue first. That’s main reason I stopped a few years ago.

The states that need to be blasting their AG - MT, UT, SD, NE, KS, TX, AK, LA, AR, MO, IN, AL, GA, FL, WV. it works! the pressure got the AG for South Carolina to drop out of the suit

An important reminder that artists (and art) can help save the world. we are a passionate group of people who’s empathy, creativity and love for the world can lead to incredible acts of resistance. Support and protect artists!

Alternatives to calling someone or something "crazy" when they're doing fascism. instead of "crazy" → fascist instead of "lunatic" → fascist instead of "schizo" → fascist instead of "psycho" → fascist instead of "bipolar" → fascist instead of "schizo" → fascist instead of "insane" → fascist
