Except "abolish ICE" is growing in popularity and there's no reason to try and contain that because there is no reason for ICE to exist

We literally don’t need ICE for anything

It's been about two weeks since I got COVID and I'm definitely not feeling "back to normal." I'm immuncompromised and have been struggling with Crohn's lately so it's been a rough ride. Seeing Jon Stewart make fun of people who mask is not what I needed today.

I have COVID, and instead of being able to take care of myself, I'm spending the day fighting for access to the antiviral medication that doesn't interact with my other meds. It costs over $1000 and my insurance doesn't have it in the formulary. I hate it here.

@teenvogue.com this is gross.

This is devastating. Teen Vogue did great political reporting.

So upset about @teenvogue.com being absorbed into Vogue. Teen Vogue’s political reporting has often been sharper than other mainstream outlets. Now there will be no political staffers left. www.thewrap.com/teen-vogue-e...

It annoys me when people say “they’re on SNAP but their hair and nails are done and they’ve got tattoos”. It’s extremely normal to do your own hair and buy press on nails, and tattoos literally last forever. What do tattoos someone got 10 years ago have to do with them needing to eat now

Happy Halloween from Krypto/currency! (The ONLY K/crypto that matters to me)

“Let them go a month without meals. Maybe they will get a job” First, many SNAP recipients have jobs. They’re just living below the poverty line because of tremendous wealth inequality. Second, many are disabled and children and can’t work. Third, no one should starve to death.

Just saw a slutty Tower of Mordor costume on TikTok so Halloween has officially arrived.

Has your state or school district made new rules to censor Palestine-related education? I know about legislation in AZ, AR, CA, KS, KY, MO, NE, OK & TN. What am I missing? Drop a link or reach out. I'd also love to hear from you if you've organized against these efforts (for reporting @truthout.org)

Today's Accessible Voting Booth is dedicated entirely to talking about how the Supreme Court may gut Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, dismantling a critical mechanism for protecting fair representation for Black voters. the-accessible-voting-booth.ghost.io/disability-v...

A conservative-backed ballot measure in Maine is targeting absentee ballots, making it harder for everyone to vote — but especially aging and disabled people. "People who cannot drive, who are physically unable to read for whatever reason ...this will be a big burden on all of us," said one voter.

TAKE ACTION: Proponents of the anti-voter SAVE Act are pressuring the Election Assistance Commission to require documents like a passport in order to register to vote. Tell the Commission: Don’t make it harder for Americans to cast a ballot: bit.ly/4ngSyyl

I was at the John Brown Museum today and while I was in there, some lady loudly goes "John Brown would've been a GREAT Republican." LOL. Ma'am. No. (And before anyone says anything, I don't believe John Brown would've been a modern Democrat either).

Blocking anyone who speaks negatively about my dogs. Only I'm allowed to refer to them as "a problem" (which I will do several times a day). Those are my SONS. Anyways, introducing my newest problem to BlueSky: Oscar. He believes he should be allowed to climb on anything and loves to eat mulch.

Update: Oliver saw the cop dog from like 20 feet away and absolutely lost it with barking. I Immediately turned him around and walked the other way to let them go inside. Can you train reactivity towards literally just one dog out of a dog?

I've made it onto an "AI Haters" list so people can block me for disliking AI. I'll wear that label proudly.

ACAB across species I know that’s right

My dog loves dogs. LOVES dogs. Has never had a problem with a dog. Except, now, for one. He has decided that he hates the German Shepherd who lives with the cop down the hall (might be a police canine).

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.

I've been quiet on here lately. Been having some medical stuff going on, have some life changes coming up soon to share & that's been taking a lot of time. Also I got another dog. The organizing work continues, just haven't had much time to post personally. Abolish ICE. Free Palestine.

"We have a duty to shed light on the plight of Palestinians with disabilities and demand that those responsible for crimes against them are held responsible." www.huffpost.com/entry/disabi...

“They had a big, 15-inch chainsaw with round blade on it, cutting this fence down. We're under siege. We're being invaded by our own military." The worst of what we feared when Trump’s spending bill gave ICE a blank check is happening.

Nothing like a 100% tariff on my already $23,000 a dose (in the US) branded medication that keeps me alive and in remission. I'm sure this won't raise health care costs AT ALL. I hate it here

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?

“A new volunteer-led organization called Grandparents for Vaccines launched Sunday on National Grandparents Day with a mission to share firsthand experiences of life before vaccines were widely available.” [kgw.com]

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.

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
