I don't see why they couldn't.

I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.

God, I'd love to hear Trump talk about these frogs. 'And they have these frogs, these nasty frogs. Folks have you seen them? Some people are talking about them, these frogs. Immune to bullets. I saw it! Frog just kept dancing. Now there's more! More frogs folks. In Portland. Antifa frogs. Nasty.'

Humans tell the same stories again and again because they're important

creativity does not exist inherently in your "heart" absent of the world, it exists in your hands, and can only be "made" by interacting with the world, reverse engineering it and putting it together in new ways. copy reference remix

Californians, ready set go:

"It’s a reminder that attacks on trans people are nothing new – and that many of them are straight out of the Nazi playbook". Laurie Marhoefer, historian on gay and trans history in Weimar Republic and Nazi regime. theconversation.com/historians-a...

Infection with a virus that infects and inflames the brain was associated with depression and anxiety in kids. And we shoved them into classrooms without fresh air or masks anyway. Cos we are such fantastic adults. Well done. /s journals.plos.org/plosone/arti...

Cosign.

Nothing could be more naïve than to imagine that Donald Trump's effort to put the military on the streets of US cities has anything to do with "fighting crime." He himself is very clear: this is an act of war against the part of the population that does not support his autocracy. Resist or perish.🏴

The “problem” with vaccines? They so effective at preventing deaths that they create generations of people that question whether disease was a problem in the first place because they have never experienced the horrors of a world without vaccines.

The transphobes current slogan 'there is no such thing as a transgender child' is an obvious disguise for their actual belief: trans people do not actually exist and are just deluded. They focus on children because it's the best way to generate a moral panic.

BRO. THAT’S THE BOOK. THAT’S LITERALLY THE BOOK. WHAT THE FUCK.

I’ve heard from a couple of messaging strategists now that people shouldn’t post so much about COVID19 vaccines because it’s “divisive”. I am here to say that I do not give a damn what is popular. I will never ignore scientific evidence for the sake of expediency, and neither should anyone else.

When zines are outlawed, only outlaws will make zines.

"This is not inevitable. This is a policy choice." ⬇️

In 1968, 43 African American soldiers at Fort Hood in Texas refused deployment for riot control at DNC in Chicago. “We shouldn’t have to go out there and do wrong to our own people." When will our state's National Guard do the same? #RESIST through #PeacefulProtest #NONViolenceIsPower #StopICE

We're getting back to the era of the internet where only us fucking nerds that know how to access IRC and use cmd line are gonna be the only ones left. I don't like it. This shit sucked before the rest of yall got here 💖

Confederate statues are “history” but a rainbow crosswalk dedicated to victims of a mass shooting is “political.”

I sometimes wonder if they're banking on not living long enough to become disabled. 😢

@margaret.bsky.social you mentioned working with environmental and/or indigenous groups in the PNW in one of the Lakota resistance episodes. Are there any PNW groups you would recommend?

I cannot stress this enough. If you stop buying via a platform (Amazon, itchio, etc), please then consider other platforms. Kobo, Apple Books, smashwords all still exist. And if your favorite author isn’t on those, consider requesting their book at your library. 💙📚

We’re in some dark times. But don’t give up hope: -Zohran’s victory looks likely, and Cuomo’s crashout is beautiful to watch -Bartz v. Anthopic: fuck AI slop stealing from authors! -LA is building lots of transit -NEW FROGS were recently discovered in Peru! 🐸 Good things are still happening ❤️

I do not want my headphones to scan my brainwaves, Signed, An epileptic and a disability historian

To have this paper appear the same day that RFK Jr is canceling all mRNA vaccine funding is further indication that irony is not dead, even though we might all be soon.

Antifascist prisoner Jesse (Tall Can) Cannon is free.

The fascists aim to relegate those who will not be complicit in genocide to sacrifice zones, to carve up the whole world into privileged butchers and brutalized victims, to suppress all capacity for solidarity. If we let them do that, the circle of the included can only shrink. Better to fight now.

Book.

I'm going to hold everyone's hands when I say this. Citizen's United injected so much rich people money into politics that it has completely fucked American elections and everything we see has a direct line back to that decision. You cannot have an effective labour movement until it's overturned.

I was complaining about a fake nature account yesterday but usually I don't see them because I use this excellent block list. It's run by some one I trust and keeps lots of annoying accounts off my timeline. 10/10 Definitely recommend.

#Gaza: On July 17, Israeli forces struck the #HolyFamilyChurch, where hundreds of displaced people, including Doctors Without Borders staff and their families, were sheltering.

A State Department employee shared with PBS News an image from inside the department. The image includes a piece of paper taped to a mirror with the words, "Colleagues, if you remain: RESIST FASCISM. Remember the oath you vowed to uphold."

reminder: climate fatalism becomes starkly absurd when you put it in literal, immediate and physical terms. Oh no there's just no way we can ever stop handing billions in subsidies to this coal mining company. Damn, we're doomed. Guess we just keep on doin it

ALERT: Attorney General Pam Bondi is apparently threatening some of those providing medical care to their minor transgender patients. If you receive one of these subpoenas, please reach out, have your lawyer do so, or send me a copy. My email is in bio, as is my Signal.

this is the best single-image encapsulation of how modern conservatism works

starbucks corporate is greedy AF and stingy AF when it comes to the humans who actually do the work

ICE contractors around the country. (Note: these are HQs, not locations where services are performed)

this is close to identical to the brand of torture pioneered by Portuguese dictator Antonio Salazar's regime, which from the '50s on had a partnership with the CIA whereby they trained Salazar's secret police and Portugal's political prisons were used as a laboratory for torture.

Happy Disability Pride! It honors the history, struggles, achievements, and experiences of the disability community. I’m grateful for past and current advocates for fighting for my rights. We belong and we matter ♥️

I’m begging folks to mask up for Pride events! Show solidarity with your disabled and high risk peers and make the event safe and inclusive for everyone. Now more than ever we need to stay united and ensure no one is left behind. Masking is resistance. Masking is community care.

Transgender medicaid ban and definition of sex are back in the federal bill - Dems can raise a point of order and force a vote, and as long as we don't lose 7 dems on this, Dems can keep it out. Definitely worth some phone calls folks. bsky.app/profile/eric...

Alright everyone, one last push. If you or anyone you know is: - LGBTQ+ - 13-24 years old - In the US Trevor Project is recruiting responses for their survey on LGBTQ+ mental health. It has HUGE impacts on policy, please take it and share widely if you can :) trvr.org/survey2025

This from Tommy Tuberville may be the most racist things a U.S. senator has said in my lifetime. And the bar is high. www.al.com/politics/202...

This is really sick stuff. Miller knows Great Replacement is antisemitic. It's why a murderous bigot shot up the Tree of Life synagogue. He doesn't care who he hurts and he doesn't care how many.

Trump is furious at Israel this morning for bombing Iran after his cease fire was announced, and says he’s “not happy with Israel” and they “don’t know what the fuck they’re doing.”
