Call your reps and tell them to vote no on H.R. 7661. Thanks to @authorsabb.bsky.social for these helpful graphics.

i understand that "tech ceos don't value child development" is like the least surprising statement but the truly astonishing part of this clip for me comes earlier when altman says that chatgpt is a genius so he feels really bad when he asks it questions about stupid things, like parenting

I snort-laughed. The horrors persist, but so does the gallows humor.

I love this.

I get why a lot of non-disabled people want to pretend respiratory illnesses don’t exist, but as we’re coming up on another event I can’t safely attend, I encourage you to just THINK about wearing a mask at events - or at least on the train/ plane there, where there’s probably no reason not to

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history. Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

I just think AI is so exciting bc it's a machine that you can get wrong answers from, that yields environmental devastation, and is being forced on all of us

This is how everyone should respond to Stephen Miller.

🤣

Unfortunately, this is the truth of the United States: We don't need to send people to El Salvador to imprison and immiserate them in inhumane conditions.

This poor man. His poor family. I’m glad he’s out and hope he is able to recover. He deserves a country that is determined not to let this happen again.

RFK Jr. says there are no autistic poets, so we interviewed one. Hear from Elizabeth McClellan, @popelizbet.bsky.social, an award-winning poet, attorney, and legal educator based in Memphis, Tennessee.

This is the same perverse Nazi logic that led Hans Asperger to distinguish between Autism and Asperger's Syndrome: those children who would be killed and those who would be used. Don't get bogged down in arguments about ability or humanity. These are overtures to genocide.

we should assume DOGE - and therefore Elon personally - has every piece of sensitive data the government has ever collected about you this is far beyond any of the biggest privacy scandals in history, many people should go to jail for this

No one should be above the law, most especially the President. Ignoring a Supreme Court ruling to facilitate Kilmar Abrego Garcia's return isn't just cruel; it's unconstitutional. They're saying the quiet part aloud — if they get away with it now, they'll do it to anyone.

They want you to be ok with this shit. That's why they keep talking about "toxic empathy," the "sin of empathy." They want you to silence your own basic human morality and replace it with their violent, racist, cult ideology.

Yall were waiting for Nazi shit. Here’s your Nazi shit.

This thread by the Congressman is a lie, and we should primary Democrats who lie to people about the content of statutes. Here is the section on documentary proof from the SAVE Act.

yeah man, please make my 85 year old great aunt prove her citizenship to vote in rural georgia, this definitely isn’t reminiscent of anything in the american past

okay well my dad gave me autism and I gave it to my kids so this is the most eugenicist nightmare fuel I’ve heard in like the last day and a half from this admin

There's no logical or moral or strategic defense for what we're doing right now. It's an idiotic plan being implemented with a level of incompetence that has no possible explanation.

Kidnapping. Capturing a person against their will without due process is called kidnapping. Transporting them to another country without due process is called human trafficking. A squalid extrajudicial prison for people found guilty of no crime is called a concentration camp.

😳 If you think Jesse Watters is worth listening to, please seek professional help.

I tried to write about empathy and ended up writing about fascism again

THE FINEST PRINT audio is here! Brilliantly performed by Mary Jane Wells and Will M. Watt, this romance between a misfit mystery novelist and a debt-ridden printer is endearing, heartrending, *and* deliciously hot! You can find THE FINEST PRINT on Audible. Happy listening, friends! #romancelandia

They stopped cancer and Alzheimer's research but THIS is top priority. Cis allies, don't be fooled by the US version of Cass. This is an expensive lie they're making you pay to hear.

None of this damage by Trump or Musk would be possible without the full and unwavering support of the Republican Party. This is like pretending that the problem with the Civil War was that Jefferson Davis thought too much of himself.

🤣🤣🤣 I am dead.

It’s really something to continue to see this as an accusation when Elon is out there literally offering money for people’s votes

Great news if you’ve been waiting to listen to my gender-swapped Music Man romcom about an autistic librarian fighting book bans who falls for a cute conwoman taking down a rich tech bro who bought his way into political power🔥 MY KIND OF TROUBLE’s audiobook is only $2.99 on Chirp all month!💕

if the united states ever has even a hope of recovering we have to destroy the idea of american individualism. "they don't owe you anything" we owe each other everything actually

If you've ever wanted to kick a couple of bucks my way and also get to read some stuff no one else gets, have I got great news for you. Sign up: buttondown.com/tjalexander/...

Also I hope we're all on this same page EVERYONE needs to be brought out of that El Salvadorian hell hole they were ALL wrongfully deported. I mean it's good to focus on 'And this guy was here legally and not ever a gang member AND they're Venezuelan' but NO ONE should've been sent there

Nobody knew how bad this would be, except for the many people whose warnings I dismissed, but they don’t count. Actually a good distillation of the mindset. Having already unpersoned everyone who understood what was happening, there’s no need to reconsider the belief in one’s inherent superiority.

If you'd like to snag THE FINEST PRINT before the audio drops April 8, the ebook is on sale for $1.99 this weekend! The story of a misfit writer and a cash-strapped printer who team up to publish a penny dreadful, TFP is a love letter to partnership, ingenuity, and forearms. Enjoy!🥰 #romancelandia

Truer words were never spoken. More fool everyone who nonetheless gave him a presidency.

“But are there not many Fascists in your country?" "There are many who do not know they are Fascists, but will find it out when the time comes.” - Hemingway, For Whom the Bell Tolls (1940)

Last night I was full of hope. Americans, I believe in you. I truly do. But this type of shit is a literal act of war preparation and I’m not sure I trust that enough of you understand that.

(1) Fuck you Elon. (2) Winning begets winning. If we run, we can be ready to win big for the rest of 2025 and into 2026. runforwhat.net to get started.

Cory Booker has just broken Strom Thurmond's record for longest Senate filibuster ever, which stood for 68 years. Thurmond set it objecting to the Civil Rights Act of 1957. Booker set it arguing against authoritarianism. May Strom's name be forgotten and his memory erased.

RFK Jr. is elevating some of the most incompetent and publicly reviled anti-vax autism pseudoscience grifters, by literally putting them in charge of an HHS autism study. All the trigger warnings for harm the Geiers have caused to autistic people and their families. www.statnews.com/2025/03/26/r...
