"It is ridiculous that antifa has become this boogeyman. If they're going to tell us they are going to find the founder of Antifa, isn't the founder of Antifa...Winston Churchill? FDR? Didn't they lead a war against fascism? Wasn't that anti-fascism?" - me zeteo.com/p/mehdi-conn...

Adelita Grijalva won her election 19 days ago and she still hasn’t been sworn in. The government has been shut down for 12 days with no end in sight. They can stall as long as they want but the Epstein files ain’t going away.

When they tell you they plan on throwing out the constitution, believe them.

A 15-year-old Autistic boy went to take a bathroom break while helping his mother sell fruit in Houston, TX. Frighteningly, he never returned and was missing for almost a week. Finally, the family discovered that ICE had secretly snatched the child and taken him to a detention center.

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it. The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait. At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

“In a time of darkness, New York must be the light.” 🔥 Instead of running from trans rights @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social leans into fighting for ALL New Yorkers. He understands a good campaign tells the story of the place he’s running to represent— and the people in it.

Every time someone talks about “curing” autism, what they’re really saying is: That autism is a disease That we are broken That we shouldn’t exist It’s not just wrong - it’s dehumanising We’re not a problem to be solved. We’re real, valid humans Why is that so hard to see? #AutismAdvocacy

I post this article too much,,, But we have mass shooting too much www.newsweek.com/2025/07/18/f...

Hard work and opportunity for all. This is at the forefront of the New American Dream. #southcarolina

The brown people aren't stealing your jobs. The orange man is stealing your future.

Michigan Avenue right now.

Context matters

Disabled people are not the enemy Immigrants are not the enemy LGBTQ+ people are not the enemy Minorities & people of colour are not the enemy These division tactics only work because there’s one group who needs to feel superior to the rest of us They will “other” anyone to advance their agenda

Thanks, New Yorker

Last month, both ICE and CBP bought weapons and ammunition at an unprecedented rate. Dig into the data with the linked interactive chart.

Masking helps us survive, but it’s not sustainable. It’s dangerous to keep hiding pain just to be seen as “acceptable.” We deserve to be safe as we are

SOUTH CAROLINA… “Judge Goodstein was walking on the beach when the fire started. Her husband, Arnie, was in the house with children and perhaps grandchildren. The family had to escape by jumping from a window or balcony...” www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

Attn Black people, stop scrolling. This is not a drill: Chicago

Thugs.

Swear her in.

An ICE deportation flight (OAE3671) that departed Phoenix, AZ yesterday morning has just landed in Casablanca, Morocco after stops in Senegal (likely fuel) and Mauritania. This marks the 1st deportation to Morocco since at least 2020 when ICE flight tracking began.

Officially the last one from chapter 4 lol. Get so forgetful this time of year #watercolor #tutorial #watercolorwanderlust

Been busy painting tutorials from Watercolor Wanderlust, just keep forgetting to post Finished Chapter 4 paintings. On to mountains next! #watercolor #art #tutorials #watercolorwanderlust

I’m about $120 short on the deposit for my new space. If anyone can help out or order a couple prints, I’d SUPER appreciate it!

At the #art show the abstract near my elbow is the one I painted Was such a cool show! So glad to have been a part of it 🤩 #emergingartist #idkhowtotakeacutephoto

Tired of seeing autism framed as a crisis or a burden! The crisis? Lack of services Misdiagnosis Systemic bias Autism isn’t the enemy Ableism is & no I will not shut up about it ♾️

Autism does not need to be cured! It's the rest of society that needs to be more accommodating!! Neurodivergence and disabilities cause suffering only because we have so little understanding or support. Treating it as something "broken" or "wrong" only enforces that, please just help people instead.

Autism isn’t a disease to be cured or even eradicated. It’s a neurotype that results in many of the most beautiful and creative brains to have existed. Autists need systemic support to thrive in a world built for allistics, not the blame and shame that make our lives harder than they need to be.

NEW: Air Force jets are doing ICE flights to Africa with transponders turned off, making them nearly un-trackable. This includes the third-country removal to Ghana and another secret flight. We figured out where it landed. From me for @rollingstone.com: www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

The United Kingdom, Canada and Australia officially recognized Palestine as a state on Sunday, marking a significant shift in foreign policy and a step away from their alignment with the United States, with several other European nations and U.S. allies set to follow suit this week.

As I told @newrepublic.com, "Once last week, twice today, ICE has picked me up and thrown me on the ground. Honestly, it doesn’t compare to what our neighbors who are trapped inside the Broadview processing facility are going through. They’re committing crimes against humanity there."

Free speech advocates are sounding the alarm about a bill in the US House of Representatives that they fear could allow Secretary of State Marco Rubio to strip US citizens of their passports based purely on political speech.

We don’t have to spend $170 billion tearing families apart. That same money could fully restore national park operations funding for over 140 years—protecting our lands, our history, and our future. 🌲

Latest #tutorial #painting from working through #Watercolor Wanderlust by Hannah Pickerill Not a winner, getting the shrubbery looking good was much harder than I thought. Needed the first layer more watered down than I started with #lessons

Completed another tutorial for Watercolor Wanderlust by Hannah Pickerill The color combos are amazing in this book. Deep purple for shadows! Like whaaa!? Also first time I’ve painted with red since the ptsd kicked in. So that’s a win #tutorial #art #watercolor #emergingartist #kofi #landscape

The neurodivergent urge to go “But why?” every time someone gives you an instruction… It’s not about being difficult. It’s not about challenging or defying you We just genuinely want to understand #AutismAwareness

Netanyahu’s removal will not alone bring justice to the Palestinian, Lebanese, and Syrian people under occupation. Only an end to the colonial efforts they are facing will suffice. James Ray
