are you a trans mutual who needs a mic? I have a Rode Podcaster USB Broadcast Microphone that has been used a couple times and works great. If u are located in the u.s. I will send it to you for whatever the cost of shipping is

Last school year I started making meals on Sundays to bring into the student fridge on campus. 10-12 meals/week. The impact was incredible, and others started sharing things as well. We really can take care of each other 💜

Do you live in an apartment complex? How about printing out some fliers letting your neighbors know that on a particular day of the week, u will be cooking X extra meals and that anyone who needs one can stop by your place at X hour to pick one up no questions asked? Can even leave them at the door.

Also had to do this today, just sat down by a fountain in the park, and was additionally rewarded by a chocolate lab dragging her owner over to say hi and offering her ears for petting.

Wanna to go to a virtual No Kings rally that focuses on healthcare (with a side of "vaccines are good, actually" and "eugenics is bad, actually")? Organized by disabled folks who can't go to an in-person event. Join Saturday at 2:30pm Pacific time, zoom link: us06web.zoom.us/j/8467741742...

The #NoKings rally in DC is MASSIVE. Tens of thousands of people are coming together, united against this president and his agenda of destruction.

The first posts from each of the “government” accounts were overt trolling. They are only here to troll and ensure the strange propaganda reaches more eyes thru counter rage-posts. I say this with reluctance as I yearn for the days when government accounts were for facts. CYA and block.

Here’s a block list: bsky.app/profile/did:...

They’re ABSOLUTELY looking for people posting about No Kings. Block them.

my latest investigation for @consumerreports.org is based on months of reporting and 60+ lab tests of leading protein supplements we found that most protein powders and shakes have more lead in one serving than our experts say is safe to have in a day (🧵) www.consumerreports.org/lead/protein...

Advocacy which is not born out of love and solidarity invariably leads people to turn on other marginalized groups, to construct rigid privilege hierarchies that don't hold space for the nuance of other group's oppression, and in the end to mimic the form of liberation without the substance

yeah man, trans reporters, whom the ny times derogatorily calls "trans activists" so that normies won't listen to them, have been reporting on ADF activity in the UK since 2018. bigotry in journalism makes you late to the story.

But the thing is, we don’t want to get to the point of massive consequences bc it’s going to suck for absolutely everybody…and it’s going to, of course, hit poorer communities, black communities, and communities of color first (as many have already seen with data centers).

I think one of the challenges of AI discourse is that many people have not yet felt or seen the consequences of overusing water and electricity, and so everybody pointing out that queries use a ton of both means nothing to them. Yet.

sherman, for the love of god!

Call attention to the federal charges of targeted activists in Portland, Oregon. Those of us with federal charges are being prosecuted in silence with zero media coverage as they federally railroad us. Please help boost!

i spent 26 years in a soul crushing job because i was playing it safe. don't devote your life to a bad job. you are at an age where the possibilities are still endless; go do what makes you happy. go make a difference. never settle. not in jobs, not in relationships, not ever

Judge: That's what I'll do. Prohibit federalization or deployment of any NG troops into Oregon. For all reasons in prior opinion. Deployment of federalized military is ultra vires and contrary to law, violating Title 10, section 12406. I also find it's likely that defendants violate 10th Amendment.

Hey. Stuff sucks, the suits behind this app are terribad, and shit just isn't gay enough Now's a great time to support your indie trans authors

Moment of silence at the New Yorkers Against ICE march. Never saw a moment of silence in the middle of a march. Deeply moving. So many people have been hurt by this administration. Abolish ICE.

I kinda hate the glib "I was born with empathy" answers to the "what radicalized you?" question. So how about this: What moment made you realize that you were going to have to be an active participant, that caring wasn't enough and you couldn't just rely on others to take care of society's problems?

I know I keep going on about this but 1) yes 2) it has DEEPLY embarrassed the media people who kept trying to pretend that this regime can be treated as legitimate, and 3) we absolutely cannot let them forget it

there's a concept known as the trust thermocline, the idea that a company can slowly lose goodwill as it circles the drain then suddenly for whatever reason they hit the whirlpool and never recover twitter. tesla. target. disney.

That narrative has largely solidified in the minds of everyone who isn't an active ally of the trans community. It was entirely intentional, a despicable crusade against a vulnerable minority that is all the more shocking from an organization that purports to do unbiased journalism.

The NYT undertook to shape public opinion and create a false narrative that trans rights went too far, the loss of rights we're seeing is our own fault, and maybe in 20 years we might be allowed a few rights back.

Yeah, the regime would probably kill everyone who opposed them if they could and yeah, that’s why it’s important people keep openly opposing them in large enough numbers that doing so is grossly impractical. Any questions?

ICE is turning around now, escorted by Broadview police. Crowd is jubilant. Someone is shouting, "this is what it takes! They are turning around!"

The lack of mainstream coverage of regular huge protests reminds me of a talk from a Twitter employees who explained that they had to drop BLM off the Trending Tags section because otherwise it would have been there permanently. The modern media environment has no appetite for sustained movements.

Tens of thousands rallied and marched in DC to demand an end to the federal occupation forces. One thing is certain—it has made DC citizens more determined than ever to get Statehood. #FreeDC #DCStatehood Video and story: dcmediagroup.us/2025/09/06/d...
