Today was another reminder that everything worthwhile is done with others. We celebrated the release of a tool that over 450 people contributed to making. We celebrated 4 years of REBUILD & all of the people who have been supported through the program. etc etc etc... Together we can make things.

No one has stated it outright but my understanding is that they won't sign onto a framework that calls only for a demilitarized State of Palestine. Tlaib of course is not a two-stater at any rate.

Rep. Summer Lee and other lawmakers are demanding that Israel be held accountable for the violence perpetrated against Palestinian Americans by Israeli soldiers and settlers. “The grief and outrage of the families of American citizens killed and detained by Israeli forces was palpable,” Lee said.

I’m not sure how many people are aware the budget hasn’t been passed (nearing 3 months overdue). But I know this partisan shit is what the vast majority of people are ready to be done with. We elect you to govern, and you’re not.

Oh my goodness what incredible, incredible news. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Going to tell all my pregnant friends to load up on Tylenol so that their kids get autism and the United States can finally get some high speed rail before I die.

Reading = reading. Comics = literature.

Bacially almost all the major black and white characters were born out of homages to minstrelsy. I talk about this in my Character Design classes actually

Just started on statins, so was at pharmacy. Man ahead of me, pensioner w walker, was paying over $250 per two weeks for some medication. Why the hell isn't that just silently being covered?

So many people are saying this that I know we can win

I’m more convinced than ever that our social safety net should be more robust and have a lot less friction. What kind of evil are we that we expect mountains of forms and “proof” of need in an already stressful situation? It’s really fucking gross.

When you’ve purchased a label printer solely to properly label the kids’ Lego collection you love to sort.

For no particular reason whatsoever, I wrote a whole book about why society should stop trying to cure #ActuallyAutistic people and instead focus more on creating a better world and society for them. You can buy it here. www.harpercollins.com/products/wer...

One side has UNLIMITED no strings attached money and the other asks for 50 pages of paperwork for $10,000.

Why are they so afraid of autism. Is it the swag. Is it the autism swag

Hi I'm an Autistic person whose mother didn't take Tylenol and I have two Autistic kids and I didn't take Tylenol and it is the fact that this medication is ubiquitous, benign, and alleviates women's suffering that it is the perfect scapegoat for the oligarchy. May they burn in fire for all eternity

Incredible. Italy brought to a standstill as Italians descend to the streets to protest for Gaza. No business as usual. Schools closed. Businesses closed. Shameful on the rest of us. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

The only "right way" to do things is whatever feeds your pleasure, curiosity and desire and doesn't burn you out our break your spirit. "Wow thats pretty vague" amazing news people are extremely different in both capacity and desire and that difference is what makes our social worlds beautiful

Re prt: the trick at the heart of all organizing is "do stuff, keep trying". Dont let activists make you feel intimidated all that "helpful" instruction that makws you feel like you need a masters to help someone is them gatekeeping their status as the only ones who care fuck that just do shit

This was certainly a week. Our enemies are many, but allies make them look like few. Stop scrolling, rotate your phone 90 degrees, and take 20 seconds to relax and enjoy thousands of red winged blackbirds in flight. Taken this morning near Sacramento, California. 🪶

Beavers are deeply important, may we all learn so much from them!

‘seeing the beavers slip into the water in the Tásmam Koyóm meadow was “a full circle moment.” The Mountain Maidu consider beaver — hi-chi-hi-nem — to be family. “It was like a big welcoming home”‘

There's practically no information, but this feels awful

BREAKING: Judge orders Columbia activist Mahmoud Khalil to be deported to Algeria or Syria, alleging he omitted information from his green card application.

A grim reminder: these people will never be satisfied. There’s no point at which they will say “we’ve won, let’s enjoy life.” They will always be looking for someone else to punish, to revile, to dehumanize. They’re empty without that.

In this meeting Strassburger said she wanted to have a different format for public feedback. Council controls the format of council meetings. It’s in the council rules. They can change them whenever they’d like. Why do politicians feign their lack of power??

We don't know what's going to happen so might as well fight for better. That's really my basic political orientation.

The United Nations' Independent International Commission of Inquiry becomes the latest group to conclude that Israel has committed genocide in Gaza www.ohchr.org/en/press-rel...

Eurovision: Spain becomes third country to confirm it will withdraw if Israel stays in contest [joining Ireland & the Netherlands].

If you are looking to support the people displaced by the Squirrel Hill fire, some neighbors are keeping this document updated with various GoFundMes. pfrd.link/sq-hill-fundraisers

I hope people understand that the anomaly here aren’t the conditions—the conditions are very typical—the anomaly is that they put a number of documented workers from a high-income country in those conditions. This is how people are treated in custody routinely

For Pittsburgh or those who want to support the residents of the Squirrel Hill apartment building that was on fire on Tuesday, these are the GoFundMe’s! Other support is a little slow, and this gives them breathing space and flexibility they need. I expect we’ll see several more pop up, too!

Oh hey, Pittsburgh folks or anyone with funds to spare, here’s a list of fundraisers for people displaced by the Squirrel Hill apartment fire earlier this week.

A long couple of days and finding myself a little sad about how transactional disaster support is by the big aid organizations. They’ve tailored to optimization, not relationships, which does nothing to support the trauma people go through

It's always remarkable when we get to see through the pretense to whose lives matter and which ones power mourns, humanizes, and validates in its response to violence, but I'm not sure we've ever seen anything this transparent.

None of this changes the entire point of the indictment: to ruin 61 people's lives over their opposition to Cop City, and to intimidate countless others from opposing the state. In that regard, they have already done untold harm to the defendants' lives.

When someone is having a mental health crisis, please do not call the police. 1 in 4 people killed by police are, or are perceived to be, experiencing a mental health crisis. A person with unmet mental health needs is 16 times more likely to be killed by the police. Cops don’t keep us safe.

In #Rochester, #NewYork, 100 marched to surround a house where roofers were being detained by ICE. While one person was taken, several others were left alone as the crowd "shouted “shame” and "Gestapo,” and applauded as agents...drove...away on four flat tires." www.wxxinews.org/local-news/2...

This should happen at every raid

hello, i am an Autistic psychiatric nurse practitioner who is specialty trained in the diagnosis of autism you can pay me to do that professionally in NH, MA, CT, & NY ...AND if you're just looking for permission to believe what you already know to be true - please believe it it's you who knows &

Cool thing about shirking capitalism and using energy for community building and collaboration: it feels exciting when you run into folks working to organizing aligned projects i haven’t connected with!

Pre-trial motions were heard today for the Cop City RICO case. Prosecutors showed that they lack evidence, and worse - they haven't even bothered to build a coherent argument over the past two years. Political prosecutions are about suppressing protest, not winning trials.

SCOTUS:

I think it’s kind of bad for society that America is so intergenerationally segregated. Something I liked about living in Jerusalem was that there were just kids everywhere and it was normal. You saw kids all the time whether you had kids or not.

It’s easy to get lost in numbers, charts, and analysis. But the reality is this is children going hungry, families being evicted, the sick losing healthcare, and so much more. We deserve better than this. 2/
