Ray Bradbury’s Fahrenheit 451 was published OTD in 1953. “Remember, the firemen are rarely necessary. The public itself stopped reading of its own accord.” #booksky 🐡

Take note of all these people turning out for protests in small towns in red states. Remember them the next time you’re inclined to write an area off because “they voted for this.”

I know everyone is consumed with other news, but this is a big fucking deal: The Trump administration says that IUDs and the Pill are actually abortions. Here's what USAID told the NYT about the $10m in birth control they plan to destroy. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/11/h...

You know who was also a young husband and father—not to mention ex-Marine—who died, not attacking others to make himself rich and powerful, but to save the lives of others? David Rose, the officer killed by the anti-vax domestic terrorist who attacked the CDC. apnews.com/article/deka...

There is violence all around us. Each day is a struggle to remain non-violent, as the poet Muriel Ruskeyser says here in "Waking This Morning." It is a way of life, a way forward. end/

I don't remember seeing any calls for violent retribution after a Minnesota state senator was assassinated, and it would have been nice not to see any today.

I think I can speak for all of us when I say no, JD Vance definitely did not read To Kill A Mockingbird.

This sounds going viral here’s the original Sinéad O’Connor performance

Consumer facing "A.i." is about triggering the excretion of a mediocre product. It's a rejection of PROCESS. Life itself is process, not fucking product. Push "A.i." on kids and you rob them of the joyful experience of life itself. I am not exaggerating.

The basketball dildo affair is honestly one of the most menacing things going on right now. It's portrayed as a joke, but it really has the vibe of raptors testing fences.

The only people whose accounts matter are the women who survived these crimes. Many of them have been speaking up *for years.* Time to listen.

'He stole her': Trump degrades Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre. She wasn't property. “Claiming a 16-year-old girl who fell into the hands of sex traffickers was stolen from you is the kind of thinking that makes sex trafficking possible.” My column: www.usatoday.com/story/opinio...

Justice for survivors. Today and always.

Every time we’re forced to talk about Joe Rogan I am reminded of my best and most immutable axiom: Nothing that only men like is cool.

President Trump’s budget bill would eliminate federal Medicaid funding for any type of medical care to organizations that perform abortions. This could reduce access to abortion in California.

Damn straight.

The fact that so many people think celebrating the end of slavery in the US is “DEI” is actually clarifying of what they mean when they use DEI. amp.cnn.com/cnn/2025/06/...

AAF Condemns The Brutal Violence in the Twin Cities Over the Weekend: Calls For Action buff.ly/9cXzHyM

As a 52-year-old, I grew up with domestic right wing terrorist organizations threatening violence daily, and blowing up buildings and killing people periodically, throughout my whole political life: it was the anti-abortion movement.

It felt so good to be out in Benicia, CA with my husband & kids at the #NoKings protest today. Lots of honking! #NoKing

Victoria Brownworth, seen here with her beloved wife, stayed and fought as long as she could, in every way possible. We need journalists like her and voices like hers now more than ever. Goodbye, my brave friend.

The plan to defund Planned Parenthood would cost taxpayers $300 million over the next decade, according to a leaked preliminary estimate compiled by the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office (CBO).

Sharing this very important thread again about how we (looking at you, white allies) can act against ICE, but this time as images to make it easy to share across platforms. Make sure every ally sees this. #AbolishICE #OnYourSide

I just turned 39 while suffering from bilateral pneumonia (vomiting, fever, the whole shebang) & thought I was the least healthy-looking 39-year-old imaginable. But nope:

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government. No one has heard from you in 43 days. As vigil, I’m posting a photo of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

No matter your station in life, there is astoundingly little separating you from those men in that cage behind Kristi Noem. No charges, no attorneys, no hearings, no trial. Just conjecture and brute force could be enough to justify completely dehumanizing you, too.

Pregnancy should be a personal decision, not a government-imposed punishment.
