It's "America First" until Netanyahu asks for money and bombs. It's "America First" until Americans demand universal healthcare. It's "America First" until Americans demand tuition-free college. It's "America First" until an American citizen is shot in the face by ICE.

Turned in some paperwork today, and let's just say "State Delegate Lightning" sounds nice to me

Hey friends 💖 me and my roommate are getting evicted bc after we both got covid I lost my source of income. If you could PLEASE SHARE THIS we would be so grateful! Thanks to those who donated so far 🥹

While 2025 is gladly in the past, I can't deny what I experienced during the 365 days in a specific calendar year. From acting on nihilistic thoughts to learning the importance of community to getting more involved in politics, it was a year that forced me to learn to be a better member of society.

Please help @augustqueue.bsky.social and Ava as they are on the brink of being evicted. Give what you can to show support gofund.me/cc4aa4d90

Left is showing up in cultural spaces and the following thoughts pop up in my head: Power Rangers and shows in the Toku genre does a good job portraying the harms of for profit motives and corruption Splatoon makes me shows the impacts of war of climate change Kirby has a friend named Marx 😃

Going through my YouTube playlist at 3 am: Let's a video on Sexy Redd. Let me get a deep dive into her Video: Here are some of her controversies. But just as importantly, here is her record label, their suspicious attempt to hijack black culture, and their market strategy for the sake of profit

Trump reveals he was recently administered another cognitive exam — a test given to patients to detect signs of dementia.

To anyone that doesn't drink alcohol: what do you drink when you go out to bars or parties? Is there a substance you can replace alcohol with? Like... almond milk or specific herbs? I'm asking because I'm considering limiting how much alcohol I drink, or even dropping it completely.

@augustqueue.bsky.social posted this on Threads so I'd like to share this here. I know how it feels to not have a place of your own and would gladly like others not to experience that 💞

🚨NEW: 46% of Americans say the cost of living in the U.S. is the worst they can ever remember it being — including 37% of 2024 Trump voters. They also say the affordability crisis is Trump’s responsibility, with 46% saying it’s his economy now and he’s responsible for the costs they struggle with.

So instead of providing families with paid time off work to be with their newborn, or even provide childcare at a low cost, we're turning workplaces into daycares to make up for not having the programs and services mentioned. This is an odd timeline we're living in. tinyurl.com/4d4vr2ue

Weird that this needs to be said, but advocating for forced sterilization of any group is eugenics (i.e. Nazi shit), even if that group lives in a fascist settler-colony that commits war crimes on the daily. You can enact justice without resorting to Nazi shit and cruelty!

To the surprise of no one, Dems caving got us nothing out of the shutdown fight www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

Very solid video from @revolutionaryth0t.bsky.social on how class struggles and the rights for marginalized communities (Black people, Queer people, disabled people, s*x worker, etc.) are interconnected and requires solidarity It's a long watch but highly recommend youtube.com/watch?v=R57p...

It may feel like you can't do anything about what's going on, but you CAN make a difference by donating your time, talent, and treasures to organizations in your community that make direct impacts and candidates you believe will fight for precious social services.

JFC Oklahoma you fuckin cowards. Now every Jesus-freak right-wing student who can't get a passing grade for a bunch of bible quotes masquerading as an essay is going to file a 1st amendment complaint. You gonna suspend the whole Biology department for teaching about evolution? (Don't answer that)

BREAKING: Indiana Republican lawmakers release a draft of a congressional map that could buy the party two additional House seats at the expense of Democratic voters. The Indiana House could pass the proposal this week, however the outcome appears uncertain.

ICE raids are cruel, inhumane, and do nothing to serve public safety. My responsibility is to be the mayor to each and every person that calls this city their home. That includes millions of immigrants— of which I am one.

Very close to just being the base that supports him...

Got woken up by a loud, drunk homophobic rant at 4 am, so here's how my Thanksgiving went: I was scheduled to work all day (I'm a server for those that don't know), but the restaurant had to close the lobby due to not having hot water I made $14, half of the cost of my ride to get to work

If your savings account can’t buy you a yacht, maybe stop voting like it can.

The new Prime Minister of Japan, per AP News, "supports the imperial family’s male-only succession and opposes same-sex marriage and allowing separate surnames for married couples." This is a reminder to not center political attention solely on identities. apnews.com/article/japa...

Today, thousands turned out to stand up for freedom, justice, and their communities. But now that the dust is settled, you’re probably wondering… what’s next?

YouTube going down, even for a brief moment, is enough justification for another video sharing platform. I might see if Vimeo is still an alternative

I was casually watching videos on YouTube, some Toku, some pet videos, some @kylekulinskishow.bsky.social. Then all of the sudden I got error messages and couldn't watch anything. Tried restarting my app and my phone and nothing changed

This is not a border crossing. There’s no law that any of us have to show our papers on the interior. This is a blatant civil rights violation. How is anyone supposed to know whether this man is a real ICE agent or just pretending to be one?!

September 30th marks the last day of Suicide Awareness Month. So this is a reminder to check in with those who you care about.

I was reliably told celebrating political violence was cause for government reprisal and private sector termination.

so his argument is that someone used an autopen to forge a private birthday card in 2003 to frame then real estate guy donald trump?

MORRISTOWN, TN: “Some things are 4x from a year ago— a roast I got for $12-15 is $35. It’s awful. They’re not concerned with people like us… They said tariffs would bring prices down. They’re not.” The folks in EAST TN see Trump’s trade war hurts them.
