New Medicaid rules will require 80hrs of work/month unless ppl can prove they are “medically frail” or have a serious or complex medical condition. #MEcfs / #LongCOVID should be exempt from the new onerous work requirement. PLEASE SIGN so more people don't die. 👇 actionnetwork.org/petitions/fr...

Last month the NYT said AOC "struggled" to give an answer on Taiwan and quoted her with "uhs" and "ums" to make her look stupid Yesterday talking about Hormuz Trump claimed he's heard from "numerous countries" and said "uh" four times. The NYT deleted the "uhs" and paraphrased him to look smarter:

Nearly 80% of our @law360union.bsky.social has signed onto a letter demanding that @lexisnexis.bsky.social cut ties with ICE. Read more here....

Looks like we're adding Delta Airlines to the protest list! I refuse to fly an airline that supports terrorism. #resist #facsism #delta #travel #boycott

Sign you have a strong man who's secure in his #masculinity and delightfully cheeky/subversive: My man has a birthday coming up, and he asked me to order this for him to wear at the gym around all of the red-pill/MAGA gym bros 😁

Police are responding to reports of an “active shooter” at a synagogue outside Detroit, where smoke is billowing from the roof.

🚨 LAST DAY to Sign this letter, sponsored by Maryland Coalition to Stop the Camps, to stop the camp from being built in #WashingtonCo #Maryland! #DMV #Frederick #KeyCity #IceOut #resist #ice #fascism #ConcentrationCamp #immigrants #neighbors #community

Every American should watch this. Policy-makers should be required to see it and take responsibility for the lives they stole. It means nothing practically, but to my Iranian sisters: I'm SO SORRY — you've dealt with way more than your fair share of struggles. You deserve peace. در غمت شریکم

New #GirlScout #cookie flavors! The Adventurefuls are best, IMHO.

Such a perfect example of Pundit Brain at work: Harper says he always knew Trump was lying about being the peace candidate — but still turned that into criticism of Harris.

#DMV folks: Here's another business to avoid & warn your friends away from. The owner actively supports Frederick's shitty Sheriff, Chuck Jenkins (a criminal pardoned by Trump) hunting down immigrants. Chuckaroo's Laser Engraving ⬅️ Boycott it. #frederick #ijamsville #maryland #business #boycott

Potentially related to The fact that women are more affected by autoimmune & inflammatory conditions. (To read more later.) #MEcfs

Flavor Flav expertly showing us how to use our blessings/rewards/privileges to create a better world. Money, influence, popularity, charisma, courage — he's using what he's got for good.

Nothing in my life has pissed people off more than my very solid self-concept, unshakable morals & high #SelfEsteem. Doesn't matter that I worked hard on these—women who like themselves are ESPECIALLY threatening to #capitalism, the #patriarchy, and #manipulation in general. #feminism #humanism

🖖 Finally watching e2 of #StarfleetAcademy. I'm not even 4 minutes in, and the characters are already behaving like immature, unevolved versions of humans living today. This is not Trek — it's a young adult melodrama set in the #StarTrek universe. I will keep watching in case it gets better...

Other countries have safety nets. The US has women. Their labor creates the illusion of a DIY society, making it seem like we don't need a net. Writing HOLDING IT TOGETHER was a labor of love and fury and I'm so grateful to share it with you all #PubDay www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/697130...

DHS surveilling and tracking people exercising their First Amendment right to free speech is another dangerous step along the road to fascism.  We, the People cannot and will not be silenced. We must keep protecting our rights by exercising them. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/13/t...

Working Americans shouldn’t have to bankroll this Administration’s horrible economic policy. $1000 a year is a hit that working families can’t afford.

"Welcome the Stranger!" —a beautiful speech by Mamdani. A Muslim American completely outclassed millions of American "Christians" by ACTUALLY following the teachings of Jesus. I wonder how long it will take the rest of humanity to evolve up to Mamdani's level. youtu.be/uoU9Img_B40?...

Measles is a bellwether. Because it’s the most contagious vaccine-preventable disease, when vaccination rates drop, it’s the first to start spreading. Now we’ve got mumps rolling up. Expect more. This is just the beginning of RFK Jr.’s successful infectious disease reintroduction plan.

I'd bet money that someone at DHS has referred to this tactic unironically as a "Good Samaritan trap."

The creator of a very popular ME/CFS awareness image has taken feedback on board and updated it #MEcfs #CFS #PwME #MyalgicEncephalomyelitis #ChronicFatigueSyndrome #MEcfsAwareness 1/

This is a ½-baked thought, but: I don't get why we even entertain MAGA & misogynists operating in bad faith. We should highlight how emotionally unevolved they are, and how they let their unmanaged, anti-social emotions control them. Either join us in being pro-social & evolved, or be shunned.

You really don’t need to be antisemetic about Epstein. He’s evil because he’s evil. Not because he’s Jewish.

This man needs a prison sentence. Pronto.

This Valentine’s Day, I’m sending love to immigrants nationwide. In the face of violence, criminalization, detention, and dehumanization, we choose love through action and solidarity. Immigrants deserve safety, dignity, and freedom. #ToImmigrantsWithLove #IStandWithImmigrants

🧵1/3 New song by #Tinariwen, reminding me why I love them. #Mali #Libya #Algeria #Tuareg #KelTamacheq #KelTagelmust #women "Imidiwan Takyadam," feat. José González (I've posted the English translation below) 👇 youtu.be/cXD942EWVlM?...

1/2 How I #resist as a former frontline protester who's now disabled: • Turn on my 𝐑𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭𝐞𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐜𝐞 playlist. • Make food for lawyer-protester friend so he has more time/energy to fight. • Call state senators re nearby "warehouse." • Update neighbor re state legislation that'll keep her safe.

Thinking of Ukraine tonight—sending hope & resilience to the country ½ my family called "home" till ~1900. It's heartbreaking that all this death & destruction is because the man-child that is Putin can't control his fifis & insecurities. #SlavaUkraini 🇺🇦 #strength #war youtu.be/uIfqSTBTJXQ?...

Perfect illustration of what the Trump regime means by "antisemitism," how it distorts the concept into a weapon. See the end where AG Bondi, after trying to change the subject by smearing a Jewish Rep. as antisemitic and noticeably upsetting the descendant of Holocaust victims, grins with pleasure.

It's a great relief to be able to compost easily as a participant of a multi-year, free pilot program in Frederick MD. While we do our best to minimize leftovers — we can compost the food that DOES go bad. I have peace of mind knowing it won't end up in a landfill. #garden #food #waste #UrbanGarden

This is <1hr north of me. It has a fucking rail line. MAGAts & their enablers are monsterous degenerates—unfit for modern society. I'm glad ppl are starting to protest it. I'm too bedbound to join, but I hope their numbers grow! #MD #DMV #ice #facism #Frederick open.substack.com/pub/projects...

#MEcfs. Remembering the time when I joined a Q&A call w/ NIH, and subsequently got banned from all future NIH calls. My transgression? I used a thumb-up emoji to agree w/ someone asking about the intense underfunding for/sidelining of MEcfs. Francis Collins was actively hostile toward MEcfs.

I don't usually ask for reposts but Frederick MD has a Sheriff that fully supports ICE and has mobilized his deputies to support kidnappings The Subreddit has been all over this, but I've seen little on Bluesky outside of protests weeks ago Please spread word www.reddit.com/r/frederickm...

Happy #CATurday! May we all find as much comfort as Tendi has atop her heated blanket.

📢 *HUGE* #food #recall. There's a downloadable SKU sheet if you want to review it to see what you might have in stock that's tainted. It covers everything from pet food to bottled H2O to Advil, condoms, & anything you could pick up at a gas station. #FDA #safety www.thetakeout.com/2088480/gold...

Overwhelmed? Start here. Look at the graphic. Pick 3 or 4 actions and do them this week. Mutual aid for immigrants is more urgent than ever. People who are actively hiding. Families are living in fear -- rights are being taken away. 📞 Call reps 🤝 Volunteer 💸 Support mutual aid 📢 Share & organize

🧵 1/2 Marylanders: State Judiciary just passed SB0245/HR444 which'll break all law enforcement agreements w/ ICE in MD, effective 7/1/2026 IF it passes into law! CASA supports this legislation and I trust their research and judgement for what helps immigrants & brown Marylanders most at risk.

@alsobrooks.senate.gov & @vanhollen.senate.gov: I have called your offices and left messages already. This is something you need to shut down. Simultaneously, there need to be laws passed forbidding ICE from wearing masks, requiring ID from them. Please act to protect your citizens.
