must be something wrong with my internet, I just woke up and tried to find the massive Democratic party pushback to all these attacks on the first amendment and nothing's coming up in my browser

Washington DC’s Mayor Muriel Bowser

I have no idea what white people are talking about right now. The warnings that the fascists will "use this" to do more violence. WHAT WON'T THEY USE? You've watched them deploy the US military on US soil using bullshit pretexts. What even are you talking about?

Jim O’Neill is a tech investor, former CEO of the Thiel Foundation, and co-founder with Peter Thiel of the Thiel fellowship. He has no direct medical education or experience. It’s hard to get away from the feeling that they really are trying to kill us.

We were already the most policed city in the world before the occupation.

URGENT: If you have ANY information about Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s whereabouts and/or the process to send him to Uganda, PLEASE message me on Signal: marisakabas.04 Your anonymity will be fully protected. I know it’s scary to speak out, but this is a man’s life.

Well shit.

Last summer: brat summer This summer: brat diet Health isn't doing well so bananas, rice, applesauce, and toast it is

Haven't been on here in awhile. Haven't been doing the best lately and now am stuck 24 hours into a panic spiral.

Ordered tents, storage/moving tote bags, camping lanterns, batteries, & printer ink for the one million know your rights & resources fliers we’re about to print off! Thank you all who have donated to support our DC neighbors — it truly means the world to us.

This is a BIG deal: The approval and implementation of the E-1 settlement plan on the West Bank will fragment the occupied Palestinian territory further and cut it off from access to Jerusalem, thereby making formation of a contiguous Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital impossible. 1/2

as a pierogi-loving bitch of Polish descent I am unreasonably delighted by the ongoing Alan Dershowitz saga

Being extremely delicious to mosquitoes and having a rare perforating skin disorder is a miserable mix. I have acquired 34 mosquito bites just walking my dog over the past few weeks that have developed into RPC and will cause permanent scarring.

Washington Post: “Is fascism bad? The answer may surprise you” Teen Vogue: “Here are three fun tips you can use this summer to disable an armored personnel carrier”

I'm waiting on potentially very exciting news but that news isn't going to come until after August 13th, so I'm trying to keep myself ridiculously busy every second of the day so I stop fixating on the possible outcomes of this news.

TW animal abuse? Not sure . . . . Been seeing something at the dog park and I'm not sure if it is considered animal abuse but it definitely SEEMS like it.

Only if you actually have time for said animal. If you don’t, they’ll end up back in rescue and it’s cruel. Don’t do it.

Cory Booker (D-NJ) voted against Bernie’s resolution to block sales of assault rifles to Israel. This year, Israeli soldiers killed a 14-year-old from New Jersey.

Update: Krypto didn't get adopted. Sadly, adopting him isn't an option for me--we wouldn't be the right fit as this shy boy would have to take the elevator 4 times a day to go outside, and that isn't going to be right for him. You can still adopt at the link in this thread!

Something terrible is coming and the rats are using a genocide to try and reputation wash And I need it to not be that cynical but we ain’t been wrong yet about these folks The Millennial Besdt of Buchenwald’s ain’t slick

All I think about when I hear people say that it’s bad taste to dance on Hulk Hogan’s grave is that Emmett Till’s monument had to be replaced with a 500lb steel bulletproof monument because white people simply won’t stop riddling it with bullets. So now it just has tons of dents. From bullets.

Bad news: you’re not immune to propaganda, bias, or perpetuating harmful -isms. Good news: Once you accept this, you can reject harm & join liberation movements! It’s not too late to put on an n95. To oppose genocide. To divest from fascist corps. To demand climate action. To protect trans people.

Update: he is still available and over the weekend, my family has become increasingly interested in potentially adopting him. Adoptions in WA are still going but if he doesn't go, there is a lot to discuss... Ollie would love a sibling

Took the dog out like 2 hours ago and I'm still feeling sick from the heat. I've basically been immobilized in front of a fan ever since.

Since Superman came out, there has been a surge in interest in adopting dogs, especially rescue schnauzers, thanks to Krypto. What if I told you there is a dog who looks JUST like Krypto who has been looking for his forever home for months? Meet Mokshi, available for adoption this weekend in WA

We have three urgent requests today: 1. Contribute to a trusted org or individual fundraiser. Don't keep scrolling.. We know that the many requests can get overwhelming - like your contribution won't make a dent. But we have strength in numbers. Here is one: chuffed.org/project/1132...

We are doing this. Our governments. Our taxes. Our arms sales. This is our Holocaust. Our Cambodian killing fields. Our Balkans. Our Rwandan genocide. We are doing this and history will never forgive us. Gaza:

The worst thing about living in an apartment with a dog is when you've been ugly crying but you have to take the dog out to pee, and everyone I see has to pretend they can't see that I've been ugly crying. The mask only hides so much

Sadly I couldn't get full buy-in to do this. I'm heartbroken. Maybe next time.

Update: may end up fostering ASAP to get a dog off the euth list...stay tuned

I'm starting to consider the possibility of fostering a dog (eventually more than one dogs). It's really weird how today I was thinking about this and later on, my mom's friend just happened to mention she works with a shelter and is looking for people to foster...

Killed my first spotted lanternfly today and it felt like a net positive for the world

Haven't seen the new Superman but Oliver WILL be going as Krypto for Halloween.

Life hasn't been great but my dog may have found a dog to have playdates with and PLEASE LET THIS WORK OUT. This extrovert needs a sibling and I can't afford one so he needs friends.

Not sure what to do when I feel a panic spiral starting and just seem unable to cope with it.

Quote tweeting w alt text because we need to properly communicate emergency messages National Weather Service flash flood warning for all 5 boroughs of NYC. Spread the word and stay safe!

There is currently an NWS flash flood warning in effect for all five boroughs of NYC. But no City agency has posted it on this platform. Please help spread the word. “If you live in a basement apartment or low-lying area, be ready to move to higher ground.”

This week has involved: - 3 power outages - the A/C and furnace malfunctioning - briefly getting stuck on an malfunctioning elevator with my dog

This week has officially brought me to tears.

As if this week isn't bad enough, our furnace just died. I live on the top floor of the building and it's 90 degrees during the day.

Apologies to my dad's patient who overheard my rampant cursing on the phone when dad called to let me know maintenance was shutting off power to our unit for the 2nd time in 24 hours, with 10 minutes' notice.

This week has turned me into this meme and it isn't over yet

July is the worst month and this July is already starting us off strong with being awful

So we're all gonna die huh

Finally found a harness my escape artist dog can't back out of when he yearns for the freedom of his old life in the streets

When Republican voters surprise pundits, there's always a spate of opinion pieces arguing that we must take the time to understand the wants and desires of said voters. Apparently, when Democratic voters do it, the response is to say they're unserious people who need to grow up. Interesting.
