Spending the last few months talking to trans people directly devastated by the Catholic Church's healthcare ban and then seeing all the praise for papal pr is honestly sickening. It's making it far harder to organize against this. Beyond done with the "good pope, bad bishops" bs.

Palantir is part of the "regressive and harmful" subculture that destroyed USAID, terminated mRNA research, trashed NIH & CDC & FDA & EPA, and brought back measles. Within the next few years, their subculture will be responsible for more preventable deaths than any other in human history. /6

Chicago Public Schools will be in session for a full day on May 1, but it will also be an official civic day of action during which hundreds of students will be able to take a “field trip” to a massive pro-labor, anti-President Donald Trump rally.

Trump lies about everything

We’ve been asked by podcasters and interviewers how much of an impact an initiative like ours can have on the well-funded tsunami of disinformation & lies holding back better cities for people. The answer is up to you. You determine our impact by choosing to follow us & share our content. Thanks!

Billionaires should not be making tax policy. Businesses should not be making tax policy. Tax policy is a tool for managing the behaviour of the rich. Letting them dictate tax policy is like letting the worst kids at school decide the classroom rules.

Dear fellow Brits, from this Brit-American: Please don't come here. It's dangerous. You may be targeted, arrested and unlawfully detained - likely courtesy of ICE - without access to legal representation. I've told my family to stay away. Please boycott America. 🇬🇧💙 news.sky.com/story/englan...

Billionaires are obscene and we shouldn't have them.

There are a few billionaires and billionaire families that are literally ruining the country and the planet for everyone else in order to enrich themselves even further. The Koch brothers are among the worst.

Israel's terrible behavior has lost them an incredible amount of goodwill. (And, of course, so has that of the US).

Republicans hate women and want to control them.

Yousof Azizi, Iranian researcher, journalist, commentator and PhD candidate at @virginiatech.bsky.social with valid legal status, has been illegally detained by ICE. He was taken from in front of his home, has been denied access to a lawyer, and may be transferred to a detention center in Louisiana:

Amazing! This is the line to get into Peter Buttigieg’s town hall in Tulsa tonight.

Trump is in no way the mouthpiece of "god". Unless "god" is a skeezy, demented, racist, loser. Then maybe. You can still say no to him tho.

We have an apparent cure for most people with pancreatic cancer—a profoundly swift, deadly cancer—and the position of the U.S. government is that it should be banned. This is real fall-of-empire stuff.

These agents "don't know how to operate in these situations,” said former DOJ attorney Christy Lopez. Their behavior “is on par with the worst protest policing and just law enforcement that I've seen from any department, even in their worst days." With @frontlinepbs.bsky.social

I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.

🔥SEN. @ossoff.senate.gov : “Ivanka’s husband Jared Kushner’s on the Saudi payroll for $2 BILLION— as he leads 🇺🇸 diplomacy + asks sheikhs for billions more… Never have we seen so little effort to hide so much corruption. The Mar-a-Lago mafia taking corruption to spectacular new heights.”

"In case you're wondering if we should fund mRNA research instead of another stupid war ... yes."

I've never heard a better recording of this. Absolutely worth the listen.

Republicans think criminals should go free.

I'd prefer a Democrat replace these two with some justices that aren't corrupt and don't make up their own facts.

As we read this about the Roberts Court let’s remember the shadow docket grievously harmed American scientific research, cancer cures, and public health over the past year. For ex, KBJ’s “Calvinball” quote was in an NIH case. More, short 🧵 1/

"Under international law, all medics are protected and are considered non-combatants, regardless of political affiliation."

What the fuck

There shouldn't be tax avoidance strategies that only work for the ultra rich. We have a two tier tax system. The super rich and the rest of us.

This alone should disqualify Thomas from sitting on the Supreme Court. For a person who needs to be extremely careful about the facts and history of what comes before him, he's shown again and again that he's willing to make stuff up if it's convenient to his argument.

POLLS OPENED TODAY!🎉 We kicked off Early Voting today in City Council District 3 with an inspiring show of support and remarks by the State Director of the NY Working Families Party (Jasmine Gripper), Mayor Zohran Mamdani, Brad Lander and Councilmember Tiffany Cabán.

This is lovely. It's impossible to imagine Trump having a joyful moment like this. These good men highlight how sad, broken, and destructive Trump is.

I love this.

Green & Mental Health. Nature improves mental health. Why do wealthy areas have 4 times more tree canopy, than low income do? Also more parks. What if cities decided for 10 yrs to use 100% new tree budget in areas with U-10% tree canopy? Better mental health for everyone. Free. bit.ly/3OytozD

AAA Cycling: All Ages & Abilities Cities that honestly want to be good cycling cities must make it SAFE & joyful for everyone, not just for the 20 - 50 in spandex. • Citywide NETWORKS • Protected bikelanes • CONNECTIVITY, CONNECTIVITY, CONNECTIVITY #JustDoIt Now!

Hegseth saying “The Pharisee Press” should be a fully mask off moment. He is saying “The Jewish Press”. But Christians of all political stripes are so devoted to using Pharisees as a rhetorical prop that liberal Christians regularly insist it’s totally fine, no matter how many Jews try to explain.

"get mad at the right, not the democrats" I am so mad at the right I am unfortunately also getting mad at the democrats who aren't mad enough at the right. that's what being mad at the right means lol

It’s a good time to buy prints of my work. I’m running a 10% discount. (I’m super broke and could really use your support and I’d rather you get something cool than just donate. Prints start at $5) seanbecknercarmitchel.shootproof.com/gallery/2938...

Republicans want workers, not thinkers. And they hate education. Unless it's for their kids.

this is like a miracle

Note to Democrats: Stop punching left. The left is fighting mad and the words we use are "Fuck ICE" and "IMPEACH" and "SHUT IT ALL DOWN." Maybe you'd get somewhere if you used those words, too.

Electric motorcycles are being confused with electric bikes, and that's bad. Electric motorcycles should be treated like regular motorcycles (or gas scooters). Electric bikes assist the person pedaling, but don't go on their own.

This is stupid. This is equivalent to saying state vehicles can park on the sidewalk, or sideways in the middle of the road - and not because it's necessary or an emergency, but because it's convenient.

Seriously, stuff like this gives ammo to Republicans and pretty soon I'll be hearing about it from knuckle dragging family members.

No one says that. WTF. Go home Beshear. We should be advocates, and literally no one talks like that.

We all known A*azon tends to sell books bellow list prices, but I've recently found them selling books at below WHOLESALE prices. I know this because I own a store. That's fucked up. Anyways, support your local book stores. Shit's tough.

This is what happens in Republican concentration camps.

This was shit we were fighting twenty years ago. More than that, actually.

I don't want to live in a Christian country. I want to live in a country where i can choose to be Christian, or Jewish, or Hindu, or Buddhist, or atheist. Freedom Separation of church and state

Anyone who has thought about this in the least knows all Trump cares about in Iran is not looking like a loser. That's why he can't stop losing.

Hegseth thinks it's the 11th Century and that he's a crusader. He sees nothing out-of-context in giving a sermon, and doing so inside the Pentagon, as his responsibility as the Secretary of Defense. He's profoundly delusional and dangerous. He must be impeached and removed from office immediately.
