Heads up! @theokraproject.bsky.social is mobilizing in response to SNAP benefits being cut and is doubling the The Holiday Grocery fund for black trans and nonbinary folks in need. People have until Nov 7th to apply. Share to help get the message out.

They're not even hiding the eugenics.

As a disabled, queer, Black person, I am happy people are finally seeing the complicity of both sides but it’s infuriating to see people finally get it after everyone cast people like me aside because it was quite easy to see if people paid attention instead if prioritizing their “mental health”

Turns out she’s a highly motivated political activist in pursuit of a particular agenda, which should’ve been foreseeable since she was, y’know, taking a case to the Supreme Court.

Its instructive that Kim Davis was introduced through the press initially as someone who simply wanted to be allowed to honor her religious convictions reasonably.

COVID was the ruling classes experiment to see if people would give up on the social contract to prioritize themselves, once they saw people were willing to let disabled, elderly and poor people die for their own convenience, they have slowly taken the mask fully off day by day and now we are here.

They gotta get hip to antiblackness as this country's program if they're serious about fighting fascism. It's a trickle down effect, the point of America is for Black people to suffer & our suffering trickles down.

And as long as we allow our concerns to be coopted and our expectations lowered, our cries will go unheard. They are sleeping good on a bed of money so they were never going to save us. We have to do that ourselves. This is what it means to live in the heart of US empire. This is the task ahead. 4/4

Short term opportunistic gamesmanship to minimize their risk while we starve is all they can offer because, as we keep repeating, they are not on our side. They're not letting us down so much as doing the job they are being paid for on behalf of their donors. We are being managed. 3/4

They are banking on voters' short attention span and the mass media apparatus to minimize the reelection risk for them while abandoning the line they got credit for holding. Schumer brokered the deal and is posturing like he is against it. In other news, water is wet, local bear shits in woods. 2/4

So the Dems let the shutdown go on for weeks, pretending to hold strong until they won some elections. They then got together and picked out folks who are retiring/aren't up for reelection for a few years to immediately cave without getting their demands met so they can go home for the holiday. 1/4

Being the walking beacon of people's shame, grief, and rage the moment they spot my mask is everything you need to know about America's failure at even basic communal protection or attempts to build back up that sense of social care for each other

Still failing! A consistent failure

Because it's taking SO long to meet this goal and rent has to be paid, we're now at $152/5,555. Y'all. PLEASE if you see this, I am begging you to donate whatever you can and repeatedly SHARE by qting and encouraging others to do the same. We gotta get Jhordin to safety. #ProtectJhordin

Happy There Is A Circulatory System Walking Through The Kitchen Day to all who celebrate.

If it helps, they already caved on all these as is 😊

The surrender caucus secured yes votes from Democrats who aren't facing re-election this cycle, but four of them have Democratic governors who can pick their replacement. If you live in Illinois, Pennsylvania, Maine or Virginia this is an easy and effective way to make your anger clear.

Chuck thinks he's insulated from the consequences of this decision (and he's been ducking New Yorkers for months) I hope we prove him wrong.

This is absolutely right. The eight who signed off on this disaster of a deal were acting as a shield for colleagues who are up this cycle. Don't let any of them off the hook just yet.

Look at this absolute unit. Buckle up for a long thread about agrarian Palestinian folktales and lore! There is a lot. I personally own 6 volumes on the subject.

a picket line to go to Jay Z's party at Chateau Marmont and also dined with Jared Kushner and Ivanka at the fundraising dinner for the nonprofit where Jay sits on the board.

I should also add that pulling a song from use has financial consequences and it's useful to compare the behaviors of say Taylor Swift and Beyonce with artists like Rodrigo and Billie Eilish. People are going to be mad for bringing Bey into this but she brought herself into this when she crossed

DHS/ICE has also used a Taylor Swift song on tiktok. She has not pulled it from use.

DHS/ICE used an Olivia Rodrigo song for a video on Instagram and after calling them disgusting, Olivia's team allegedly pulled the song for use on Insta so the video has no background music. This is the second time she's done this - previously it was a tiktok song.

Anyway, I'm not spending another second being sad. Lost too much time to that already. And I also know I'm not leaving this earth before GTA VI gets here. Grady can lay that hospital bill right on my tombstone.

RFK Jr. would be dead by now had he been born into a working-class black family in New York. Musk and Trump as well. They could not survive a minute in my shoes--and my shoes aren't even that uncomfortable compared to so many others! Hell, there are people without shoes at all. And far less time.

America's safety net is gossamer thin, but I know that had I been born elsewhere, I would be dead by now. We are being led by a cadre of spoiled, ignorant Darwinists who do not realize that they have not survived because they are special or hardier, but because of wealth handed down to them.

I am very calm about all of this (now) because at this point I am fully exhausted. And I also want to spend my time enjoying and appreciating the little things I have. I don't want to give another moment to mourning or worrying or ruminating.

I need this daily pill to live. I know because I tried to go without it before and it did not end up well. I know what's coming. And I know it is not sustainable. It took me a year or so to get to a point where ER visits and transfusions were needed. So maybe I can make it to midterms?

I think that many do not realize that when people say they will die without the ACA, they are not exaggerating or being dramatic. I take medication daily because without it my body does not recognize when to stop bleeding. So I take medication to "trick" my uterus into thinking I am pregnant.

The cheapest plan available to me (a Georgian) is over $1,000 a month. Healthcare is no longer an option for me. I will ration the medication I take for as long as I can and then I will wait to die.

Truly amazing that any time the democrats have to bite the bullet and do something that ruins countless lives, there's always *just* enough votes to get it done, but if there is a vote on something that would actually improve people's lives, they are always one vote short. Crazy how that happens.

I’m no longer solely self-employed, and I receive healthcare through my employer, but I’ll never forget how the ACA gave me an option I never thought I’d have. Not just healthcare options, but the freedom of time that allowed me room to do something like heal. That shit takes time.

The ACA made my whole self-employed life possible. For almost ten years, I was able to build a career that actually worked for me AND keep receiving necessary care to address the consequences of childhood medical neglect. And I still deserved better. We all do.

This is also true, we keep coming to these moments because white people cannot get their shit together, too many of you vote like assholes, the rest of you will not enact any consequences on the assholes. "But it's my dad" yeah and your dad is a fascist piece of garbage. Act like it.

It doesn't even make sense that the Democrats haven't legalized marijuana by now except that the Democrats are not leaders. They don't actually want us to have things WE want. They have to be beaten into it.

And in 2020, 2016, 2012, 2008, 2004, 2000, 1996, 1992, 1988, 1984, 1980, 1976, 1972, 1968. Clearly y'all realize this pattern needs to change.🤨

I WONT EVEN HOLD YOU! Had Count Orlok been outside my chambers singing THIS!? Oh baby I absolutely would’ve been on some Te rog, iubirea mea, intră în camera mea și devorează-MĂ!! Type shit!!!

I see people throwing themselves in front of armored feds on the streets. People pushing to get close to Broadview ICE to stop the evil horrors inside & out. Regular people are throwing themselves into the path of danger daily & their reward is to have their health care taken away by rich cowards

I know many of us are tired, scared & angry. When you can, if you can, channel that into doing what you can to help. Every day it's more clear the only ones who are going to save us ... are us. Whenever you start to say "people should do x," it's you. You're "people." We're "people." It's just us.

Every single person in Little Village fighting ICE/BP this week, each one of those people had more courage than the entire party leadership put together. Every single person in the street resisting in LA, Portland, Chicago, they're ALL showing more backbone than useless top tiers of Dem apparatus

Yep, the involuntary work camps for houseless (starting with Utah) are part of that, too.

This administration’s goal is to roll us back to before the New Deal and so impoverish US citizens that they will fill the jobs left by all the Latinos kidnapped by ICE. They want peasants dependent on the whims of the tech lords

For coming from a party that loves to crow about supporting small business, Trump’s cuts to the ACA are the biggest attack on small business people imaginable
