It is truly vital that everyone understand WHAT the insurance they pay for actually does and does not do.

Start early. Never suppress the warrior spirit. #Anger is natural—a useful reflex. But transforming it into action? That is a skill. And for a #warrior, it is a way of life. Video Credit: MaiStoryBook youtube.com/@maistoryboo... #YoungActivists #LittleWarriors #BannedBooks #Books #Activism #Teach

Therapy IS political

I’m good with my taxes subsidizing social welfare for people who can’t afford food. I’m enraged with my taxes subsidizing corporate welfare to businesses that won’t pay a living wage.

Transhealth has released a statement in response to Fenway Health’s decision to stop gender-affirming care for people under the age of 19. Read our statement at transhealth.org/transhealth-remains-committed-and-open-for-care

Swearing in isn’t some ceremony. You aren’t a member of Congress until it happens. He knows that. No phones, no staff, nothing. I had to escort her into the Capitol on Wed bc Capitol police must treat her as a public visitor until she’s sworn in. And solo visitors aren’t allowed during shutdown!

Did you know that a typhoon just hit Alaska & displaced over 1,000 people and washed away entire communities? If your media isn't covering this, it's bc these are Indigenous communities.

The internet is a war zone. I think I figured out just one reason why... Newest Youtube video now up youtu.be/9mzIzRVtYu4

What radicalized you? Nothing. Not wanting people to suffer is not radical, it's normal. Stop thinking it's radical to be empathetic, to care. Ask what made people think it is normal to act like sadists. Call out this behavior, because kindness should be the default.

WE ARE A COLLECTIVE I believe that each one of us can do SOMETHING to help another human being. To send something that says 'you are a valued member of our community? @lunarflight.bsky.social @mutualaidboost.bsky.social #Community #MutualAid

FWIW, Trump focusing on autism is not a distraction from Epstein. He has been obsessed with autism ever since his friendship with Bob Wright, the former head of NBC Universal and the founder of Autism Speaks. Wright was also the person who put him on the Apprentice.

Therapy does not fix being poor I work with numerous people busting their ass; - working long hours -making DECENT wages Still on Medicaid, Food Stamps/SNAP living in their cars or motels (which = fast food since there are no kitchens). #Homelessness #SocialWorkIsPolitical #TherapyDoesntFixPoor

Thou shalt not tie up children in zip ties and then deport them, for that maketh thou a MONSTER. A MONSTER! THE PEOPLE DOING ZIPTYING CHILDREN ARE MONSTERS!

The last 100 days have been an unprecedented assault on American science. Our scientists. Our institutions. And the people around the world who rely on it. We must stand united and speak up. Our collective future depends on it. #ScienceMatters www.youtube.com/watch?v=UPlu... savesciencenow.org

This man is one of the only actual Christians involved in US government.

Christian Nationalists pretend that the United States was founded as a Christian nation, but the Constitution never mentions Jesus or Christianity. Not even once. Instead, it bans government promotion of *any* religion. Don't be fooled by their lying propaganda.

Abortion bans are a violation of the separation of church and state. So are book bans. So are anti-LGBT laws. So are school vouchers. Notice a pattern?

Being willing to -snatch food from the plates of the most vulnerable -take healthcare from just under half of new mothers -allow the air, soil, & water to be polluted -reduce the quality of food -make economic conditions even worse -stress already stressed medical facilities doesn't feel pro "life"

Shared post from @valfornevada.bsky.social A LOT of kiddos don’t get free lunches because parents forget or can’t fill out paperwork. Kiddos don’t deserve to go hungry because of it. SAME GOES FOR THEIR HEALTHCARE!!

For those who say we are overreacting because there will be no cuts to Medicaid, here's a reminder that the only reason we still have health care is because we fought like hell to defend it in 2017.

Hurricane season starts June 1 and if you live in a Gulf state, you need to watch this. It’s worse than you might think. The few employees still left at FEMA admit: they are not prepared. Not enough staff. Not enough supplies. Not enough leadership. Plan accordingly.

it's really shocking and disgusting. it's genocide denial; it's a repulsive attack on free speech. it's shameful. and the students speaking up are courageously demonstrating what a commitment to education and truth really looks like.

Damn straight!

You chose this. For likely the third time, you had a chance to reject his vitriol, to condemn his criminality, to prevent his lawlessness, to denounce his bigotry—and you flat-out refused. That’s not something I can quietly abide. johnpavlovitz.substack.com/p/to-the-peo...

From a source: ADAPT protesters are out demonstrating outside House Speaker Mike Johnson's member office.

The kids are alright. Junior Rangers, I bet Yarmouth HS would be encouraged to know that they're doing a great job raising students like Anelise to be the kind, brave, articulate future that Maine can be proud of. Perhaps a postcard? 🩵🩷🤍🩷🩵

To my fellow American women, the Republican government is LITERALLY coming for your vote… youtu.be/nZocqZvcYn8?...

“We need lots of people to tell their legislators that the federal government should not make it harder for people to get Medicaid services. Your legislators need to know how important Medicaid is!” But how can you do that? @autisticadvocacy.org has guidelines: autisticadvocacy.org/2025/02/tell...

This is what a deal with the devil looks like👇 @housegop.bsky.social JUST VOTED TO CUT Medicaid, SNAP benefits, school meals, & housing assistance all in exchange for giving corporations & billionaires a tax cut all at the  expense of the middle class.

As a journalist who covers extremism at the local level, I think it’s a mistake to view Trump’s Napoleonic statement as solely about presidential power. Consider if it’s interpreted as a wink and a nod for any extremist to act outside the law to “save” the country as they see fit

If RFK wants to meaningfully decrease rates of depression, he can support paid family and maternity leave, equal pay for women, universal healthcare, and fully funded public schools. Stigmatizing medication that treats the mental impact of a country that devalues your existence won’t cut it.

Being highly affected by sensory experiences can be really difficult. But the flip side is that we can have an immense capacity for wonder and experience incredible joy from small things. #autistic #neurodivergent

Totally agree with this

I stand with the trans community. Pass it along.

I know it's moving fast and you're trying to get info out there, but if you're posting images of official govt correspondence you need to get Really Fucking Serious about using your alt text. When you don't, you're excluding some of the people Most Affected by this ongoing nightmare of a situation.

THIS is how you communicate, folks

Trump referring to his racist, misogynistic, transphobic policies as part of a "restoring sanity agenda" should be a wake-up call for everyone to (finally) stop partaking in sanism.
