Don't engage. Just block. They want to push their rage bait on here. Don't give them the satisfaction. bsky.app/profile/did:...

Why did @govpritzker.illinois.gov send out Illinois police to limit protests at Broadview? Why is a progressive governor shielding illegal ICE activity from peaceful protesters? Why are our state tax dollars devoted to Trump’s agenda?

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador. Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

🚨 please get fully vaccinated for monkeypox y’all!!

once again, i'll suggest that perhaps the reason the broad public thinks democrats are weak is that when confronted with situations that demands that democrats loudly and proactively stand up for their values, democrats shirk from the fight

BBC International Editor Jeremy Bowen has confirmed that the entire Al Jazeera team in Gaza City has been killed.

Gay makeup artist Andry Hernández Romero describes horrific sexual & physical abuse at CECOT in El Salvador www.yahoo.com/news/article...

Some of the bottles of rice and formula and flour Egyptians threw into the sea have actually made it to Gaza - now people in Cyprus and Lebanon are joining the effort, with scientists from all over the world virtually assisting them in figuring the time and location to do so based on the currents. 💚

So now they're just admitting that this entire talking point that was used as a way of excusing the government-engineered famine is a lie.

when RFK says he wants to “end chronic disease,” what people hear is “he wants to cure us” but what he means is “i want to cull the weak”

this reminds me of the period in american politics when pundits would demand that any black politician of note — really, any black person in politics with a national audience — “condemn farrakhan”

I think it’s worth noting this piece generated the most unsubscribes I’ve seen in a while, and the newsletter version had the lowest open rate in many months. These horrors persist in part because too many people go to great pains to avoid them.

In the past when I sat down to write about Israel, I’ve had a moment where I take a deep breath and accept that, as a Jewish woman, it’s going to be difficult. This time, there was no such moment. I wrote about the intentional starvation of Gaza by Israel/US, and the moral imperative to say enough:

It’s worse than “Gaza is being starved and destroyed and no one cares.” It’s that hundreds of millions *do* care and are powerless to stop it. We need a world where that can never happen, where the masses actually have political power.

The governing party of the United States is shutting down the federal government to cover-up evidence the president sexually abused children so he can continue trying to implement dictatorship. That's just a true statement about the world!

It’s Abu Ghraib all over again. But inside our borders.

A stunning 39% of parents say they can’t afford back-to-school shopping this year. 44% of parents plan to take on debt during back-to-school shopping. More than 50% of parents plan to sacrifice necessities like groceries to ensure their child has what they need for school.

At a time when many Democrats are avoiding even mentioning trans people, Mamdani went on Anania's Gaydar that is hosted by a Black trans woman. This is absolutely amazing and hilarious. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Frc...

This lipsync final and season was disappointingly predictable. The final two shouldn't have made it past the first battle. The winner was outperformed in the final, just doing the same facial expressions over and over again while making fun of the queen who was eating her up. 1/2 #dragrace

Kerri colby should have won that lip sync ://///

Huffing at people doing “purity tests” and the purity tests are dont aid a genocide, concentration camps, and persecute queer people

70% of all people in jails are legally innocent. Many of them are held behind bars simply because they cannot afford bail. Money bail perpetuates an endless cycle of poverty and jail time.

We're not "descending into" fascism in the U.S. We are living under a fascist regime already. I wonder when most people will catch up to this reality and what that might portend.

This administration is saying that "people should have to prove that they deserve health care" as justification for kicking millions off Medicaid. That's eugenics. Health care is a human right, and everyone deserves access to health care no matter who they are, what they do, or how they live.

If Russia India and the United States were building solar at the same rate as China the renewable energy transition would be over in no time. Unfortunately three of these countries are easily controlled by the interests of fossil fuel capitalists

250 people detained in the Florida Everglades have no criminal convictions or pending charges.

4 U.S. citizen children, with their mother, held in a detention facility for 2 WEEKS. Denied access to lawyers and even communication with family. Disappeared. Held Incommunicado. No charges have been filed.

adoptees are having entire pages of their adoption records redacted, making it impossible to finalize citizenship or prove their immigration status or that of their adoptive parents

The Department of Homeland Security is telling police to treat mundane activities like skateboarding or live-streaming at a protest as "violent tactics." This is disturbing, dangerous, and could easily lead to excessive force against people who are simply exercising their First Amendment rights.

don't trade away your kids for gold is literally the entry level lesson of about 80% of fairy tales

While warehouses in the U.S. overflow with ready-to-use therapeutic foods (known as RUTFs), designed to treat severe malnutrition, children in places like South Sudan are going hungry.

the other thing is that no one who fetishizes manual labor actually cares to improve life for people who are in those circumstances! no support for unionization or a generous welfare state! no interest in policies that make life easier for people who work their hands or afford them more autonomy!

People forget that checking racial boxes in the United States is first and foremost an exercise in resource distribution and not a moment to tell your diary how you feel about your family history And it has been a project, a white supremacist project, to make people think it’s about individualism

the more you learn about ai and the business behind it and truly how horribly ai mega datacenters are for the environment and are destroying the communities they’re in it makes you want to return to living in a cave

Such a banger tidal.com/browse/track...

the whole 'red states bad, blue states good' mentality really puts into focus the way some of you people are about entire countries, actually.

Sardines have always been a no, even before I was vegetarian. And I struggle mightily with eggplant unless it's cooked perfectly (which I can't do)

If you think people deserve to die esp.children because they live in a gerrymandered autocracy that democrats decided to abandon….. that is no different then the justifications maga gives for why liberals and others should die. Anyone who believes the blue Maga “they deserve it” line is a threat.

Such a hard story to read about a woman in science who was clearly passionate about what she did — and excellent at it — and had that taken from her because she was Chinese. May she rest in peace. 🧪

Some of you have already succumbed to fascism. You've lost your sense of humanity. I hope you find it again.

This is pretty tone deaf and disgusting. 1) Many of the dead and missing are children, who can't vote. 2) There are millions of people in Texas who did not vote for this. And stop telling them to move. 3) I wouldn't wish drowning on my worst enemy. Have some fucking empathy.

‘New York Times’ Announces New Columnist Will Contribute Nothing To Society 3 Times A Week

It’s always a good day to cancel The NY Times.

i think what makes zohran so compelling even outside of nyc is that he seems like the real deal and the establishment fucking hates him for it. he's a rallying cry for democracy in the biggest city in the country against fascists and fascist enablers. it feels existential in a way that bernie didn't

I really hope this bill doesn’t pass but whether or not it does I really hope we can have a conversation around why our social safety net administration systems are designed to weed people out rather than help people out.
