At least 90% of Black people surveyed for a new poll said Medicaid is important to them or their families, and more than half either have public insurance or a family member who relies on the program. Story from @statesnewsroom.com

"In opposition politics, the loyal opposition does not need to carry around whistles to draw attention to people being disappeared off the street by masked agents of the state." We are not opposition; we are *dissidents*. www.thebulwark.com/p/we-will-te...

Well you can get a sunset or planets, not both.

I'll do my best to update the gfm this week but tldr; Had hospitalization #4. Diagnosed with IIH after a lumbar puncture. Gotta do a whole other type of imaging since my colon is weird & im still bleeding & got pain and other issues. Struggling to afford transportation. gofund.me/6c303da8f

one of my favourite interactions i’ve ever had online was a reply guy responding to a post i made about reply guys, explaining in depth how he wasn’t a reply guy

After 8pm tonight 23 October in the west Mercury and Mars meet the Moon.

Black folk have been talking about ”digital Black face“ for at least two decades, IIRC. And those clear eyed warning went unheeded.

This person is one hundred percent correct and it’s scary af. We will never “media literacy” our way out of this as a society. We are about to reap the whirlwind when it comes to misinformation, disinformation, and informational warfare.

The Gamer was pretty much the *only* outlet willing to stick their neck out for us adult game makers. Their coverage was invaluable in getting the word out about payment processor censorship 😥

Called Visa so much they just transfer me directly to my bank, who was 🔥VERY🔥 interested in hearing the backstory, and also that they're being given Visa's extra work!! Help #SaveFreeSpeech, and hang in there and tattle on 'em if they send you anywhere else!! yellat.money

Everytime I feel shame for not getting Dot and Bubble straight away. The cunts behind Higgsfield Popcorn should feel razor wire on their balls for life.

Thread. In a smaller way, I did this when I came to Bluesky and decided not to be the guy who got into arguments here, like I had been on the former Twitter. That choice has done rather a bit to make Bluesky generally a better place for me to be, and, I hope, a better hang for others here too.

In the days ahead, Bluesky will have to decide how much it wants to be the focus of the Trump administration's tantrums, how much it can afford to defend itself against political prosecution, and how far it can push users already uneasy after months of moderation controversies, writes Erin Kissane.

I read this and then “Changes” by Tupac started playing in my head like the end of a Black movie in the hood

We wanted to know what it was like to own a Cybertruck. So @zoeschiffer.bsky.social went to the desert got this absolutely amazing quotes (and Michelle Groskopf took the pictures!) www.wired.com/story/owning...

Justice Brett Kavanaugh: “If the officers learn that the individual they stopped is a U.S. citizen...they promptly let the individual go." The reality: Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents. A must read from the very talented @nicolefoy.bsky.social:

I’m going to add that it only includes the people who like you AND are willing to let you know about it People who pine over you , don’t actually tell you and then get emotional at you Don’t like you

"Courtesy stove and refrigerator" is a chilling phrase in an apartment listing.

We believe that in the wealthiest city in the wealthiest nation in the history of the world, working people deserve a dignified life. And to the billionaires who think this movement is an existential threat to their corruption of our democracy: you're right.

Happy John Brown’s Raid day to all who celebrate

you have to call off the state police that is roughing up protesters if you are serious.

Um...aren't they currently getting sued in Florida for this?

huh, wonder what this was about

I presume that orchestra people have vicious stereotypes about clarinetists that could be deployed here. I once heard three performers riff on violists for ten minutes and it was frightening.

The thing is that the modern GOP (not to mention its basement-confined moron stepchild, the Mises Caucus libertarian “party”) is accurately depicted by this language and a critical mass of the party is absolutely fine with it. /1

Well fuck

I wonder what three artists could do a remake of That's What Friends are For.

Good morning. Democrats have no obligation to vote for a budget that funds corruption and totalitarianism. Trump is willing to do whatever it takes to destroy our democracy and pad the pockets of billionaires. People don't want Democrats to wilt. They want us to fight.

So this playoff game was the first high stakes playoff with narrative drama for @misstori.bsky.social and @feydaley.bsky.social . Welcome to the suffering and the elation. Glad I could do it with you.

OMG HEY GUYS THIS DOESN'T MEAN WHAT YOU THINK IT MEANS
