PORTLAND: “The frogs are multiplying” (#NotAWarZone Noem Matter what Kristi says)

Hey everyone. Just a reminder even if you think you get this already. All human beings have inherent worth. And the category of mental illness exists only for categorizing workers into who is more disposable. Bodies and brains are the same system. Think about this.

A really excellent thread about the ableism and eugenics behind RFK and his whole MAHA campaign by @jenniagitator.bsky.social .

Beautiful photo-

Dramatic changes to the Vaccine Injury Compensation Program could drive drugmakers from the market, threatening access to shots, experts say. “If (Kennedy’s) unstated goal is to basically destroy the vaccine industry, that could do it.” By @sheinvestigates.bsky.social

Kinda wondering about this myself. Probably Lee Greenwood was worried he might never be honored there, this way he stands a chance.

I kind of love this- it’s like they got so far into the rabbit hole that they are coming out the other side.

My kingdom for a Democrat who runs on “You know how Medicaid stopped covering her nursing home last year and you went bankrupt trying to pay out of pocket? I’m going to punish the people who did that to you.”

Wow. The Senate was just interrupted by someone screaming: "You people are awful." This is so needed.

Mask up for pride!

Emerging from my Saturday hole to say that if you have a GOP senator, you need to call them to oppose Medicaid cuts in their budget bill. If you need to appeal to their mercenary side, note that the funding cut will eviscerate the hospital system, especially in rural communities. ☎️ (202)224-3121

YES.

A beautiful dream.

Ask any disabled person on SSI, who are required to keep asset limits to below $2000. That is why Medicaid expansion is so important, for people who may have over $2000 but still need health insurance.

Solidarity with anyone that is waking up with overpowering anxiety lately. 🌸

This is some of my artwork, I call them Rage Doodles.

The Minnesota shooter apparently used data broker websites to find the home addresses of the people he shot and murdered. Congress has had years to do something about data brokers and they've sided with the tech lobby over and over again. Their inaction is deadly.

“God is reaching out to you [to] find[] the ways that we may be able to do something with our own lives to serve others. “And in that service to others we may find that coming together in friendship, building up community, we too can find true meaning in our lives.” www.osvnews.com/full-text-ad...

“If ICE is going to wear a mask in their uniform, then I can.” In August, Nassau County lawmakers passed a bill banning the public from wearing masks. Protesters showed up today masked anyway. We asked them why.

Universal Healthcare. Universal basic income. Feeding the hungry. Housing the homeless. All of this is possible if we make it happen. No one should be allowed to hoard more money than they could ever possibly need! Wake up!

Here are 3 ways the Federal Government could better use the money they are wasting terrorizing LA with armed troops. 1. Pay the Tuition of Every Freshman at UCLA 2. Give $1,000 a month UBI to 11,000 struggling families for an entire year. 3. Provide $134 million dollars in wildfire recovery aid

So Kristi Noem goes on Fox and lies that Sen Padilla didn’t ID himself, even though the video is there for all to see. But get what she’s saying: Assaulting and handcuffing someone for trying to ask a question is OK in any case? This is a criminal regime.

All is not yet lost ❤️

Are we really fucking doing this. Had nothing happened to Senator Padilla at all, what she was describing is a federal takeover of a major city by military force with no specified end-date, with no legal authority. Do not let the fascists talk their way out of that.

DO NOT LET DONALD TRUMP STOP YOU FROM TALKING ABOUT HIS TRILLION DOLLAR MEDICAID CUTS, SPY GPT, AND VA DEFUNDING! HE DOESN’T WANT YOU TO TALK ABOUT IT!

The way to beat Trump's fake populism is with real economic populism: - genuine solutions like rent control and free fast busses - directing the deep well of public anger up at the oligarchs, not the vulnerable. This is what Trump fears most - and it's why he never wanted to run against Bernie

Just $170.11 away from hitting $30k for my contribution to the Save the Reader drive. I return from parental leave next week, would be cool to crack that number before I’m back!

PSA

Our society could benefit from a meaningful social safety net in a huge way. Instead we have elected people who are broken by abusive families and only know vindictiveness and violence. We need to say this as often as fox repeats racist lies. We need a meaningful social safety net.

RFK Jr. is a menace to society. He swam in sewage with his own grandchildren, openly demonstrating once again his poor judgement and disregard for safety. He might land on his feet. He’s willing to sacrifice anyone who doesn’t. For money. It’s gross. He needs to go.

I don’t know if people who do the dirty work are capable of self-reflection. It’s too bad.

This whole thread-

I might have to watch this on a loop for an hour It is filling me with hope

YES

Fvck Trump

This morning, like every morning, US President will wake up: paint his face orange, clip on his comical wig, put on a big floppy tie & oversized suit & weird platform shoes, and will go out in the world to steal as much money has he can while undermining US national security & economy & democracy.

The police don’t protect people. The police protect power. That’s why we didn’t want to militarize them.

These are masked men, with weapons, no warrants and this is extrajudicial abduction, and with local police aiding and abetting this thuggery. It is illegal under international human rights law. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/07/u...

youtu.be/wFlw20Z32mU?... I don't like the clickbaity headline, either. But. ICE has an online tip form. Maybe we should let them know we see violations of human rights, human trafficking, and gang activity and we can give them a workplace address for the terrorists. This is full fascism.

Right now I have too much anxiety to read about this. But I’m quite sure it’s really important because I think a lot of us don’t know what we don’t know? Basically we need to consider how to be humans again? Or something. I think. And need UBI.

Well. Isn’t that sh*tty of her. Would be cool if we stopped electing people with who are openly opposed to, idk like our lives.

At what point will the common public realize that Congress consists of less than 600 representatives in total? There are 370 million people in the United States. I think that should be enough to handle the 600 people that don’t feel like the rest of us deserve our basic human rights.

The official policy is ableism and white male supremacy. Anyone who doubts that is deluding themselves.
