Hey, I am sharing a link for a GFM for my husband, Joe! This is solely to fill the gap of lost wages while he recovers from his carpal tunnel surgery next month, so we can pay rent and afford food. He's in constant pain and he hasn't been able to draw for years. www.gofundme.com/f/help-payin...

Again this should inspire wall-to-wall media coverage for months. The crowning achievement of the Civil Rights Movement is dead. Black people just lost all of their remaining political power in the South. This is a monumental moment in American history that simply isn't being treated as such.

With more people than ever discovering the joy of beans due to the Republicans fucking the economy, it's worth reminding that 4 raw kidney beans are enough to get you very, very sick.

You're telling me a vibe coded this website?

So an easy, silent, virtually anonymous and undetectable way for adult strangers to watch (and record) children they have no involvement with Btw do we have any way of independently confirming that each time this happens, it's merely a sales call?

Alito’s Jim Crow racing into effect within hours of the decision

really "funny" how schumer is totally fine with backing here but refused to get behind mamdani in the slightest. why you might even think there might be some particular biases going on here

So many people urge us to vote if we are dissatisfied with our democracy. And yes voting matters. But as today’s Supreme Court ruling tells us, it’s not that simple. Not everyone who should have the right to vote can exercise that right.

Only Bluesky could produce a guy that loves Will Stancil’s takes, thinks Hasan Piker is too radical, and believes the best course of action is to try and assassinate the president.

the irony is that there are many journalists who are threatened and killed for their work globally, except they don’t overlap at all with the people willing to attend the MAGA White House correspondent’s dinner

Social media is no longer social. Most of it is passive viewing of videos and pictures from people we've never met. But we're still studying social media like it's 2010. We've entered the post-social media era — and research needs to catch up. osf.io/preprints/so... preprint w/ Richard Rogers

Trust me, disabled people feel this hostility acutely.

We have a chance of removing the Online Safety Act! Any UK residents, PLEASE take the time to fill out the whole form. If we want to remove ID verification on websites that actually don't need it, we need to take action NOW!

It’s weird watching it from the UK, Labour did the same, romped to victory then became one of the most unpopular govts in living memory. And that unpopularity is in part because they ostracised anyone who might actually fight for them.

fell for it again award

If everyone got a receipt for their taxes breaking it down like this, I think our country would look totally different

This is the single funniest thing I have ever seen Bluesky staff do.

this is what i meant weeks ago when i said so much of the aggressive surge in migrant policing felt like a boundary test, where a period of highly visible violence would eventually recede in favor of less visible and more "professionalized" migrant policing at a level beyond its baseline pre-trump.

It is always the case that any radical action by workers to resist the power of capital is "violence" but the constant suffering of poverty, absence of healthcare, hunger, surveillance, wage theft and the rest of it, well... that doesn't really count as "violence."

I feel like my ability to function conversation just keeps getting worse and worse even when I do talk to people. It turns out maybe the bootstraps method of being mentally ill does not work any better than ignoring inability to eat food and wow I am so far gone hahaha

Hey if you still have an Angelfire or Tripod site, or if you like one, now is the time to back it up, like, urgently

I have for a very long time had a hard rule of only promoting the crowdfunders of people I know personally. This is part of why. And I think especially important because I am a community-facing voice/journalist. You simply cannot reliably verify strangers.

I'm one of those trans women. I worked ground ops for Artemis I. I am torn between celebrating the success of my friends and peers and grieving how my dream of working for NASA was shattered by hateful assholes in Tallahassee

I hate 2026 and having to have thoughts like "hopefully, the pope will condemn this" IM NOT CATHOLIC ANYMORE DAMN IT I QUIT OVER THE PEDO SHIT why are we at the point that fucking. Seperation church of state is on backwards or something and i have to fall back on the FUCKING CATHOLIC CHURCH to moral

hi

I truly hate to just be constantly dropping more things onto your timelines to worry about, and I've been trying to pull back, but if you're thinking, "we need a mass movement to sideloaded apps", then unfortunately I do need to link you to keepandroidopen.org

oh, this is very important to know!!

very cool that Massachusetts lawmakers, who spend all day every day talking about how they're protecting us from Trump, just passed the "upload your ID to the Palantir database in order to access social media" law while saying they're "protecting the kids"

I can't be drafted bc I was denied enlistment for medical reasons (and now I'm too old), but in case you aren't as lucky as me, this might be good information for you to have on hand.

Please please PLEASE show support to all of the Iranians in your life right now. Here’s a starter pack of all of the amazing Iranian artists and creatives I know!! bsky.app/starter-pack...

By my count, there are now over 50 House Democrats, along with two Senate Democrats, who have called for Trump to be impeached or removed via the 25th Amendment for his post on Iran. More here: www.axios.com/2026/04/07/t...

Lrp: yeah I cant get any enjoyment out of Artemis II because it was preceeded that week by me seeing more tearful NASA resignations because they're dismantling that to fund murder too, and I'm honestly worried the gov will leave them up there or something at the end of the mission to prioritize war

I would be a lot more into the Artemis II mission if I wasn't far more worried for a further 90 million people about to be obliterated by a madman tomorrow by the very same nation that made the capsule. Really spoils the amazement, not going to lie.

Potential plot twist: AI not doing this, but it actually being an on purpose glitch so no one can dunk on pro ai posting

Is this why people think Newsom is the only viable liberal and obsessed with Hassan? Yeah i gues those two guys are like the entire voice of the left if you live in the twitter echochamber.

Reminder: the Federal Reserve has opened a proposal for public comment on "reputation risk" discrimination in banking. Public comments have been surging, and the new FTC action shows this issue is getting harder to ignore. Keep the pressure on. www.federalreserve.gov/apps/proposa...

Yay it is 5am before protest day and im not even beginning to experience sleepy (not just naturally but from the 3 meds i took for it) guess that choice is made for me again :')

Listen, I burnt out on HP when my friends larped it in high school and I got bullied by association for it. But the reason people struggle to drop it is BECAUSE it was so mid, by the time JKR was officially irredeemable they rewrote it all as fanon shit and it's not really JKR's to them anymore.

The government is asking for public comments on whether banks should be able to deny you from buying legal goods at their own whim (i.e. how they're cracking down on art) Tell them you don't want to be told how to spend your money www.federalreserve.gov/apps/proposa...

As it sinks in this energy crisis is neither temporary nor contained, it’s worth repeating: The US can’t promise to stand down while Trump leads, bc the US can’t make promises, full stop. Trump is incapable of honoring promises. US media & Dems choose to pretend otherwise. Iran cannot afford to.

Great read.

Did you know that Medicaid isn't called 'Medicaid' everywhere, to the point that ONE out of THREE people who are on Medicaid don't ✨know✨ it? So how can they be incentivized to fight for their healthcare if they don't know it's their healthcare? (Alt in the comments, it's a lot!)
