@schumer.senate.gov please don't invent stuff like this...some of us remember having to add "under god" to the pledge and how hard that was

And this is what happens when we have a president that encourages the Racism and violations of rights

No person should be treated this way. Documented or undocumented. Their anger speaks volumes about their humanity and frankly how they feel about themselves.

Tucson, not even a checkpoint: agents smash windows, drag a US citizen to the ground, falsely claim he had a gun — then assault the man filming it. Fourth Amendment, First Amendment, § 242, all violated in one stop. This is what 'law enforcement' looks like when profiling replaces probable cause.

Our probation check in is tomorrow and we need $60 for our court fees so we don't fail the program and go to prison If anyone can help us cover the fees we'd deeply appreciate it, our links are in our bio #mutualaid #helpsky

$24,100 with 45 minutes left to bid!!!!!!!!

I love New York.

The use and misuse of Winthrop's "city on a hill" bit bugs me. It was a warning, not a boast. "The eyes of all people are upon us. So that if we shall deal falsely with our God in this work ... we shall be made a story and a by-word through the world." Basically: They're watching. Don't blow it.

You have 4 hours and change to bid on a custom wallet from me. Here is your reminder that one of the customizations available is laser engraving! www.32auctions.com/organization...

Hi hello I was going to do a full thread on the Great American State Fair later but it seems I'm starting early: why in the fuck are PragerU, Patriot Academy, and other far right groups the ENTIRETY of the Department of Education booth

A community LGBTQ+ Pride event this week has been revealed to also be a celebration of and by neurodivergent people, entirely by accident, when they discovered nearly all of the LGBTQ+ people there were autistic as hell.

I lost my con badge last night. It's attached to a badge that I LOVE and I'm devastated (con ops doesn't have it) If you see it PLEASE message me (Pic from two years ago)

A person's gender identity should NOT affect their right to vote. Still, some people face discrimination when the photo and/or gender marker on their ID doesn’t match their appearance. Read how we’re empowering trans & gender-expansive voters at the ballot box: voteriders.org/article/prot...

RIght, @romancingthevote.com . My offering of a custom lace bookmark has been sitting without a new bid for two days, and I know we can do better! So, here is the link to the auction, and here will be a thread about why it's an awesome thing for you to bid on (apart from democracy yay!)

Here's the full movie, which he created as a story about creating a stop-motion animated movie. www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5a_...

I wrote about the Supreme Court's latest disgusting anti-trans ruling. I wrote about it because I refuse to act like taking away constitutional rights and allowing legal discrimination is okay just because it's happening to people who don't poll well in a diner in Ohio. In @thenation.com

It’s time for Congress to pass a robust anticorruption agenda that would help end the era of massive money in politics that the Court ushered in. bit.ly/4b5yJ9H

My essay on how to normalize immigration begins on pg. 98. Many other excellent pieces by others there as well.

The US Presbyterian Church has just voted to divest from Palantir & GE Aerospace; recognize the genocide in Gaza; and call for an arms embargo and boycott of genocide-complicit Israeli companies. Cites Palantir & GE's tech being used by human rights violators like ICE, Israel, and Saudi Arabia.

As always, we can get you and your community whistles, in volumes from 100 to many thousands, for free, just drop a line to the email address here: linktr.ee/3Dwhistles

Seeing her picture makes my heart clench. Part of it is abortion laws, but let's be honest: part of it was that she was a Black woman and no doctor was going to stick their neck out for her. We lose pregnant and birthing Black people at a much higher rate than white ones. Black babies, too.

Hey all this is your reminder to be VERY careful about where you buy shirts and how you phrase things - scammers target anyone who even whispers that they want something on (a shirt).

Potemkin called. He wants everything back.

When the selkie returned to the beach, a man was holding her sealskin. "Is this yours?" he asked. "May I borrow it?" "You want to be a seal?" "No, but when I take it off, I'll be a woman, right?" "My heart, you already are," the selkie said. "That skin is mine, but I can help you find yours."

Yeah I really do not think people should be able to get millions of dollars if a fire starts

*taps microphone* Is this thing on?? I AM LOOKING FOR SCIENCE HISTORIANS. IF THAT IS YOU PLEASE WAVE AT ME OR YELL LOUDLY IN MY DIRECTION! (It's for a wee little side project)
