lol we know

My parents hope they catch/ get rid of white non Christians too. They don't see color! Wish I was joking

Let me get this straight. Because crazy white people hope to catch a few brown people, ALL THE PEOPLE have to prove their USA citizenship? This is the work of stupidity.

Laziness Does Not Exist by Devon Price (2021) As a ♿ person who lived the laziness lie until my body physically could barely move, this resonated HARD. It helped me recognize ways in which I still gaslight myself & how my tendency to get stuck in paralysis is the evidence. #HaecReads2025 #Booksky

My joy on #BowTieFriday has been sharing my passion for #GIonc and #PallOnc with my colleague Bahar 🇹🇷 over the next few months. How about you? @docwithbowtie.bsky.social @engagetheo.bsky.social @djweiner.bsky.social @stephjantzen.bsky.social @zachradcliffphd.bsky.social @rubinallergy.bsky.social

Feeling refreshed from #SpringBreak2025 🌻🌹🪻 on #BowTieFriday. Nothing fills my cup more than no agenda and time with family. What reenergizes you? 🪫➡️🔋 @docwithbowtie.bsky.social @engagetheo.bsky.social @djweiner.bsky.social @stephjantzen.bsky.social @zachradcliffphd.bsky.social

If you haven't seen Senator Cory Booker's interview on Maddow after he broke the filibuster record, you should watch it. What an inspiring leader. More Senate Democrats should follow his example! These are not normal times - do something different! youtu.be/di3ixolFvmg?...

We sent a letter to the Superintendent of Columbus City Schools, urging her to repair the harm done by changing the names/genders of students in their internal records systems. 🧵🏳️‍⚧️ www.acluohio.org/sites/defaul...

Today, my son Sam and I showed Speaker Johnson why you don't mess with moms. Thanks to overwhelming bipartisan support, we stopped the Speaker’s attempt to kill our resolution to allow new parents in Congress to vote remotely. Thank you to everyone who stood with us today.

Do Dems need to throw gays, lesbians, and trans people overboard to win elections? No. What Dems need is to look towards our community, particularly the trans community, for the sort of courage and moral leadership and American values that can get them winning again.

"People are not, are never, illegal," writes the editor-in-chief of Zeteo and Guardian US columnist Mehdi Hasan. "The inconvenient truth for the anti-immigrant right is that it is not a crime for immigrants simply to be present in the United States without proper documentation."

Me and a buddy after we dig up Strom Thurmond’s desiccated corpse and force him to watch a Black man break his Senate speech record:

Cory Booker started a marathon speaking session two hours ago, and neither the NYT nor WaPo--which are addicted to "live" coverage of the tiniest hiccups of news--have the news on their homepage as of 10:15 p.m. ET. To its credit, however, CNN's website puts it front and center.

at times like these I am reminded of my commitment to keep saying that lying should be politically and socially costly

On this Trans Day of Visibility, a reminder— Whether seen or unseen, spoken or silent, your worth does not hinge on the world’s gaze. Whether you shine or whisper or feel forced to take shelter I love you. 🤍🩵🩷

There are trans Americans right now looking out at this world and wondering if anyone is going to stand up for them and for their simple right to exist. Well, I am. We are. We will.

"Wild Indians""off the reservation" is not a constitutional argument worthy of publication or debate; it is a stereotype. Native nation treaty land blanketed the West. Within treaty lands, the US army slaughtered and mutilated women and children (e.g. Sand Creek, 1864). Not "off the reservation."

“Being visible isn’t enough. Let’s organize, protect each other, and fight back against rising fascism.” This Trans Day of Visibility, @zanemcneill.bsky.social urges everyone to fight with trans people and communities like y/our life hinges on it. via @truthout.org #TDOV

A reminder for this Transgender Day of Visibility: Trans people have always existed, and we always will.  No president, politician, or court can change that.

Sexual harassment is ALWAYS about asserting power. And Andrew Cuomo will do whatever he wants to assert his dominance - over government staff, other elected officials, and the New Yorkers he claims he wants to represent. It’s disgusting and disqualifying.

On this #TransDayofVisibility, I would love to see more people collaborating actively to support trans people. Many claim to be #LGBTQ allies but fall short when it comes to acting. The current leadership is pushing a genocidal agenda of trans/non-binary/queer people. #TransRightsAreHumanRights

#Parenting is a combination of joyful moments and seeing a toddler's butthole way too much.

NEW: @aclu.org obtained ICE's "Alien Enemies Act Validation Guide," confirming all it takes to be sent to rot in prison in El Salvador is being Venezuelan and 1) having a tattoo an ICE officer says is a "gang tattoo" and 2) displaying "logos," "symbols" or clothes an ICE officer says are gang signs.

Ghost hunting is an inherently queer activity.

I just heard that a cryptography professor at Indiana University had his house raided and was fired. Don’t know much more. www.heraldtimesonline.com/story/news/l...

One of many moments in Omar El Akkad’s new book, “One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This,” that will stop you in your tracks.

🧵Masked ICE thugs attempted to abduct the school nurse at Cooke Elementary School, located in the densely populated Adams Morgan section of DC. Workers at the school intervened, demanding a warrant and holding up their phones and ICE scurried off without making their arrest.

Good morning. Listen, you have to just decide. They are not taking the Black Smithsonian. Resolve it in your spirit.

🇨🇦 “I’m so proud of you. Never take that hat off.” A Blue Jays fan escorted out for wearing a “Canada is not for sale” hat gets an appreciative call from Ontario Premier Doug Ford

An absolutely despicable and vacuous piece that oh so casually blames trans ppl for, well, everything. From an outlet that has been churning out anti-trans propaganda. www.politico.com/news/magazin...

lol IMO Amber Ruffin should host her own special roast with friends at the same time as the WHCD.

Hey NBC and Seth Meyers, y’all need to book the largest possible venue in D.C. on April 26th and do a competing fundraiser and comedy show that actually celebrates the First Amendment. Televise it. Make Amber Ruffin the central act. Send a message that free speech is non-negotiable.

The ICE arrests are meant to terrorize dissenters and crush the intellectual freedom that’s the whole point of universities—and the tactic is having its intended effect. Thanks to these professors for fighting back. www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

SCOOP: The Trump admin appears to be going into a visa database to quietly change students' immigration status. It's coming entirely by surprise — setting students up to be detained without warning. It's Mahmoud Khalil & Rumeysa Ozturk — on a wider scale.

used to not have toilets, shade or drinking water cause bosses said it was too expensive. With pesticides we would work too close to the spray. Thanks to Cesar Chavez they changed those things. Join us in marching for Cesar Chávez - Francisco, CA farmworker, 28 yrs #WeFeedYou

NEW: Internal staff email from Smithsonian secretary Lonnie Bunch addressing Trump’s executive order. “As always, our work will be shaped by the best scholarship, free of partisanship, to help the American public better understand our nation’s history, challenges and trumphs.”

Megyn Kelly recently interviewed “Courage is a Habit.” Here are a few quotes from their social media account: “It’s annoying when the blacks like you complain all day long” “Good parenting has always been about ‘exclusion’.” 1/

As Bluesky has grown, I've seen a lot of backsliding on alt text. Please try to be considerate to others and include alt text with all of your images. It helps everyone. Indeed, in the "accessibility" setting in Bluesky you can set it to make sure you add alt text, which is a useful thing to do.

New Rubio order (leaked to me) directs the State Department to spy on student visa holders and applicants social media for "a hostile attitude toward U.S. citizens or U.S. culture (including government, institutions, or founding principles).” www.kenklippenstein.com/p/exclusive-...

Macklemore has been a vocal advocate for Palestinian rights and critic of U.S. foreign policy since the start of Israel's war on Gaza. “It's my moral obligation,” says Macklemore. “I'm not going to stop.”

In a sense, this is the clearest guidance they could give. Abusers retain the authority to punish based on how the abuser feels rather than what the victim does. It eliminates victim agency.

With the Trump-Rubio policy that any foreigner can be detained indefinitely for no reason, and then deported to wherever they feel like, you would have to be nuts to travel, study, or set up business operations in the U.S. Guess they don't care about jobs and the economy.
