Oof. Wave of fake BlueSky accounts! Or… something.

L: "Hi, I'm Highland County, home to Virginia's only organic maple syrup farm! I'm entirely west of I-81. I'm 416 sq miles w/ 1,832 active registered voters." R: "Hi, I'm Fairfax County, home to 11 Fortune 500 HQs! I have I-66, 95, 395 & 495. I'm 406 sq miles w/ 754,532 active registered voters."🧵

The USDA sent an email to grocery stores telling them they are prohibited from offering special discounts to customers affected by the SNAP funding lapse. I'm aware of at least 2 stores that had offered struggling customers a discount, then withdrew it after receiving this email

These *losers* are comfortable chatting with nazi podcasters or whatever. They're afraid of actual debate with actual trans people because they're actually ON THE SIDE OF THE NAZIS. that's ... it.

I've seen a lot of people saying "it's about brand visibility" or "Fortnite collabs with everyone." As a business owner, that's bullshit. Literally everything you publicize and take money from is a moral decision. I've walked away from ad deals because I didn't approve of the company offering them.

Hey, remind me what happened after the Roaring 20s?

Genuinely delighted to download a PhD thesis from a university repository where the author has neglected to remove the words "BITCH THIS IS YOUR THESIS" from the filename.

Yes - Please consider giving monthly to a food bank (if you can spare!), especially in light of the Republican government cutting millions off from food aid via SNAP. It could be like a subscription. Also remember, you can pick ANY food bank in the database to give to!

GOV. WALZ: “This is not both sides. This is owned by Republicans. Dems are willing to come back and protect what passed, not let an authoritarian president do whatever he wants… people will be lined up to get food and we’re talking about a damn ballroom? DON’T LOSE THE PLOT.”

If I were running the DNC, there would be Democratic Party sponsored food relief banks across the country right now that specifically welcomed anyone regardless of party affiliation. Along with the food, there could be voter registration and links to runforsomething.net

Ballrooms and breadlines.

absolutely shameful that the university has embraced the administration’s demand that it discriminate against its students. this is the board of visitors telling UVA students that if they aren’t white and cisgendered then they don’t belong.

Hey if you’re local, it’s a good time to donate to the Capital Area Food Bank with SNAP benefits dropping. I encourage people to donate locally if you can! CAFB is very good and just started extra distributions this week for furloughed gov employees too give.capitalareafoodbank.org/give/332469/

Drop Platner and find someone else. I get why he seemed promising, but he’s just not that golden. He doesn’t have to be evil for the tattoo to be a dealbreaker. There’s 7 months still before primary and numerous others ALREADY running. Plenty of time to rally around a better candidate who can win.

Even with platner I think there’s a different person there if he got the coverup a decade ago and then spent the past ten years doing boring but necessary and good work in local elected office. But he didn’t; that’s not who he is.

People act like all the men are gone. The men are attending protests. The men are putting together scooters for their kids. The men are getting a set of turntables for the first time. The men are buying Nikes. The men are getting super into noir. They're not Nazis and they're fine. Keep your freaks.

MAGA troll farms attempted to gaslight the US public to turn them away from the NoKings protest coverage. They spread disinformation ranging from "the protests aren't real" to "these videos are from [insert different date or event]". It was a coordinated disinfo attack.

Trump and Vance wanted this highway to be filled with cars. Good on the California Department of Transportation for not being idiots, but this was still reckless endangerment. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Hero’s of the day - In a small town of Beckley, WV, Kendra Sullivan staged a one-woman No Kings protest. She was confronted, had the police called on her, but stood her ground. She was physically threatened. Police came more than once and protected her right to protest. This is how we do it.

i don't know who needs to hear this but remember that labels are tools. their value is dependent strictly on their utility. they are descriptive, not prescriptive. labels are not immutable and if they lack function then you can disregard them.

Americans have spoken.... #NoKingsDay

Incredible: today’s No Kings protest appears to be the largest in Providence, Rhode Island history — 20,000+ showed up to say loud and clear that we will not bow to Trump’s authoritarianism.
