ALL EYES ON THIS STORY. #immigration #alligatoralcatraz

Thou shalt not claim to be a champion of free speech out of one side of your mouth whilst crushing free speech out the other.

Statement from @postguild.bsky.social on the firing of Karen Attiah:

Still processing all my very complex and very nuanced thoughts over the past 24 hours or so, but I think these words capture some of what I’m thinking about:

Mentally saying "Wed-Nes-Day" when writing the word Wednesday.

A wild thing for the literal president, who uses the military as his plaything against his enemies, to say in a special address to the nation from behind the resolute desk, when a motive is not even known

at a time when people would really like to blame violence on trans people and we don't know anything this seems like a deeply irresponsible thing to write

Rep. Massie only needs one more House member’s signature to force a floor vote on his bipartisan legislation to release Epstein-related documents.

if that news is true, don't say anything you wouldn't want to see screenshotted and spread all over right wing media

Very, very bad stuff coming from leading right-wingers

settings > content & media > autoplay video & gifs = off

Three people are hospitalized in critical condition after a school shooting in Colorado.

3. If you see content that disturbs you, immediately (or as fast as possible) go and play 20-30 minutes of Tetris (or any other fast-paced game with your eyes sweeping over the visual field that has caused visual artifacts to linger when you close your eyes for you in the past).

Have been tagged in to provide the reminder about traumatic video because of the Charlie Kirk shooting video going around! 1. Settings -> Content & Media, turn off "autoplay video" 2. Keep your device sound off while browsing so an accidental activation won't include the sound

Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D) on the shooting of Charlie Kirk: "Political violence, unfortunately, has ramped up in this country ... I think there are people who are fomenting it in this country. I think the president's rhetoric often foments it."

More Democrats have condemned a single shot at Charlie Kirk than the hundreds of bullets fired at Hind Rajab.

Real America's Voice, which airs the Charlie Kirk show confirms that he has died.

…yeah so gun violence is having a day. Don’t let this one get lost in the sauce.

Whew, talk about a crisis, right?

This one got absolutely throttled by the TikTok algorithm, like 32 views in 24 hours throttled. Probably cuz I forgot to censor the audio of me saying “Nazi” LOL. Anyway, it’s about the book burning memorial in Berlin & how it relates to current LGBTQIA+ book bans & anti-trans legislation. 🙃

A lovely lil’ dose of #hopecore with a heaping spoon of #fafo

I made a video reading @dhnexon.bsky.social‘s thread aloud because I wanted his words to reach more people. I know there’s a lot of us who do better listening to audio versions of articles, books, etc while we do the dishes or something. This is for anyone who needs that. Please go follow Dan!

Yeah so I’m going to need everyone on the side of democracy to go read this article right now and shut the hell up about the fucking wired article already. STOP SHOOTING YOUR ALLIES YOU ABSOLUTE NIMRODS.

“It’s just incredibly cruel.” Kristi Noem waives environmental laws to build Trump’s wall through a wildlife refuge.

Despite all their similarities, I genuinely think that all of the other authoritarian dictators would absolutely bully the shit outta Trump.

Can you imagine living in such a chaotic and scary time?! 🥴 #washingtonDC #fascism #NaziGermany

I ran out of free auto caption uses on CapCut so y’all are getting the censored version this time. 🤷🏻‍♀️

One of my current #WIP! Trying out mosaic #crochet for the first time and I gotta say, it’s pretty dang cool. Planning on making this into a little #spooky themed pillow for my work chair. Can y’all guess the pattern? 🥃🪓👆🏻

History is so fun!!

The meaning of life is to create. When you stop creating life becomes—and is—meaningless.

I’ve always expected there to be the silent shitheads. But the high volume stupidity on display in these United States is like watching drowning people refuse a life raft because they don’t like the color.

Watch out, new hobby just dropped:

🧵Rant Incoming 🧵 I'm a Texas Dem in Texas State Minority Leader Gene Wu's district. And while I have not been happy at all with the lackluster fight national Dems have been putting up in D.C., this isn't a fair take on the TX Dems situation. TX State Reps do not get paid a full-time salary. (1/7)

Democrat Billie Butler has won a special election for the NH House by a 55-45 margin, very close to Harris' 55-44 margin in 2024. Butler, a trans woman, was the target of vicious anti-trans attacks by Republicans. Background on the race: www.seacoastonline.com/story/news/p...

Y’all, I’m starting to wonder if the oligarchy and the gerontocracy just might be in cahoots!

They need to explain themselves

What matters is that Cuomo and all the people who endorsed him are still going to claim they're the rightful heirs to the Democratic Party, how dare young people challenge them, all of that. The difference is they're now just unaffiliated lunatics, banging on the windows. They're not the party.

Best city in the world, baby!

Congratulations to the 13 brave women who risked their careers and reputations to stand up to Cuomo’s sexual predation

I hope the DNC leadership is absolutely sweating bullets. Hey Alexa, play “Irreplaceable” by Beyoncé #ToTheLeftToTheLeft

If you're a member of the Democratic gerontocracy, the chances of you catching a primary challenger just went up 1000%.

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people: 1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money 3) We won’t need a lot of troops 4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq 5) We’ll find WMDs 6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators 7) It will be easy 8) It won’t take long All lies.

Two actions in Houston tomorrow: 6PM Post Oak & Westheimer PSL organized protest against Trump’s attack on Iran 7:30PM City Hall to Discovery Green Silent Vigil March for all the lives lost and people hurt by this regime.

it’s even more demoralizing when the history you’re repeating is history you were around for the first time

I have so much anger about everything happening, but unloading it seems so fucking pointless. Everything is so fucking pointless. WHAT. IS. THE. POINT.
