Tonight, over 240,000 Venezuelans will lose Temporary Protected Status. The Trump administration is dismantling our core humanitarian protections, leaving hundreds of thousands at risk of detention, deportation, and harm. Congress must protect TPS holders and pass a pathway to citizenship now.

Forever having healthy suspicion of any white man with a handpan drum. (He's either bald or has mountains of a hair, no in-between).

thank you for the outpouring of support! those of us laid off from Teen Vogue yesterday are now sharing our GoFundMe to help us cover our emergency expenses now that we've lost our incomes, as we get back on our feet.

Cheney had a vision of tonights results and the thought alone killed him

Dick Cheney was like "I can't see all these Muslim politicians win today *lets out last breath* lol

the first muslim woman being elected to statewide office (in any state!) the day dick cheney died is beautiful

lmao not the Sandstorm by Darude remix 😭

Our campaign has been about flipping the priorities and we're almost to the finish line! Tomorrow is Election Day, so be sure to vote and rank Omar #1 to ensure our mayor is accountable to us.

Holy shit this is so good

I wonder where the sapphires, diamonds and other gems that were stolen from the Louvre, were actually stolen from back when they were placed in those lovely jewelry pieces. I mean…whose bounty was it, really?

ICE is now the 13th largest military in the world on its own. Never ever accept the lie we cannot pay for Universal Healthcare.

using chatgpt to dunk on chatgpt is like eating poop to give it a bad review. you ate poop

OH GOD. PLEASE NO. DON'T DO IT. Our society and media and our legal systems loves the center the wrong-doer rather than the survivor or the harmed.

lol not even if you waterboarded me. When that pendulum swings, it's gonna be unbearable. "I didn't realize how wrong it was until I saw/did if for myself" is among the most unbearable varieties of "Just Say You Don't Believe Marginalized People, But With Extra Steps."

Person Who Doesn't Half Ass Things but burnt out because they don't half ass things (so now they half ass things because they are burnt out) tries dating people who doesn't expect Person Who Doesn't Half Ass Things to be perfect.

It’s telling that the cover of the album isn’t a picture of D’Angelo himself. It’s a scanned frame of 16mm footage filmed at the Afropunk Festival in 2014 that pictures the crowd raising their hands in protest at the killing of Michael Brown.

Can't wait to watch tomorrow after work.

So much love for D'Angelo. D'Angelo forever. Y'all, I'm so sad.

Just came home and got the news about Miss Major. So many tears of gratitude. </3

The Regime's goal is to grind everyone down. Plain & simple. Our goal is to refuse this by taking turns to fight where and how we can. When one group needs to bow out, then another group needs to step in and so on. We don't all have to do everything. We can all do something though. Stay in the fight

PMDD corner of Reddit is out here saving lives, helping people like me feel less alone. I love you, PMDD corner of Reddit.

I've realized that a whole lot of smart and well-informed people are overestimating the value and potential of "AI" tools because they underestimate how smart and well-informed they themselves are and how much expertise they bring to the interaction. It's the curse of knowledge all the way down.

This skelly is improv dance goals lmao

I have studied conflict and movements for social change for a while with the intention of trying to be a movement chaplain (I'm in higher ed right now). This is to say: you cannot pay me to argue with some edgelord who has not participated in social movements about the frog costumes. Absolutely not.

"Ultraviolence" 🤣 🤣 🤣

Taylor Swift's brand isn't "suddenly racist"... it always has been. I just got tired of telling people and quietly took mental notes.

Sometimes I get so used to make sense of hazy and evasive headlines, I was like "what makes this one different?" 🤔 This headline is clear as heck.

Sign the petition against book bans at www.bookbanpetition.us

Hi, I'm a trans Californian who reported on the CA bills. This headline is misleading at best. You haven't noted that he has until the 12th to sign the other bills, leaving that out is irresponsible and fearmongers. People can and should still pressure him on those bills. bsky.app/profile/mady...

someone call the etsy witches this is a fucking emergency

HELLUR!!!!!!

Is it me or does Taylor Swift discourse always come up when something really intense in the world that more of us ought to be paying attention to is happening?

Bad news: Anti-vaxxers have been given leadership positions at US health agencies and are doing everything they can to take away vaccines. Good news: Despite all their spin, in reality they have been too incompetent to do anything effective to restrict vaccine access in any meaningful way so far.

I'll be with @interruptcrim.bsky.social for a conversation about how to advance narratives that undermine authoritarianism and increase solidarity. Join me, @dreanyc123.bsky.social and Lewis Wallen on October 15th, 3pm est! ❤️ ❤️

I'd argue a bit further and say that "Taylor Swift is the Drake of white women" or "Taylor Swift is white woman Drake"

This whole thread. I feel less crazy and alone. AHHHH.

I saw a group of men on lime bikes riding towards the end of the male loneliness epidemic together last week. Maybe it was them?

If you are new to me, do know that 1) I'm not here to hold people's hand. If something stings, it stings. 2) If you perceive something that brings new insight to you as a criticism, it is not my job for me to manage your feelings. You're an adult. It is yours.

😂 but also: 🤠😎

Also everyone is talking about the green frog hat but not enough about how the green frog hat is so "girl autism"-core. Anyway, I need this shirt.

Black folks are gaslit daily by white folks who don't even know their own selves (and often don't want to). White folks don't know themselves or their history. It's EXHAUSTING. I just drop info and run these days, bc most white folks will attack anyone who might give them insight into themselves.

Sixty years ago, James Baldwin debated the racist William F. Buckley and laid out the reality of our country in clear terms that white Americans only recently discovered to be true.

I found a @tangledwilderness.bsky.social sticker a block from my house :') I wonder who is my neighborhood? 😍

i got to talk about anarchist santa not actually a biography, but instead talking about how this guy did a lot of cool science and changed the way we understand competition and cooperation in evolutionary biology

We need a bigger national spotlight on this building raid, fam. Agents dropped from helicopters onto the roof. Citizens and non-citizens alike were dragged from their homes in the night. People who weren't kidnapped during the raid had their belongings seized after the fact. This is madness.

Asheville Blade (@avlblade.bsky.social): patreon.com/AvlBlade And Trans News Network (@transnews.network): transnews.network Are run by working class trans folks and could use the support.

If you can’t afford a good mask like an N95, there are mask blocs across the country who will help! N95s offer superior protection against covid and other airborne diseases. They keep you and those around you safe. If you can afford it, consider donating to these invaluable organizations:

Mira's article today showcases a number of stories about transphobic discrimination involving Lyft, Patreon, a life insurance provider, and Amazon. It's worth reading and sending to your cis friends who lack awareness on just how pervasive these issues are.
