I think I need to take a break from social media for awhile. Try to love and care for one another. I know I certainly need to work on that.

🙏 REPOST GAMBIT🙏 @nycacc.bsky.social plans on slaughtering him, selling his meat/bones for profit + throwing his remains in the dump! @mayor.nyc.gov

So Israel has invaded, occupied, & bombed Iraq amidst it’s unnecessary & aggressive & everyone-sabotaging Iranian war of choice.

Nothing received in 8 hours, please consider helping, it's very appreciated! 💕💸

Reminder... Any political party trying to make it harder to vote is sending a clear message — they can't win on their ideas alone.

Total shocker. Alito’s argument for why black people don’t need voting rights protections is based on fraudulent statistics.

Not now, TB www.sfgate.com/bayarea/arti...

The law is not some kind of magical, moral omnipresence floating around in the ether. The law is exactly what those with the will and the power to enforce it say it is. Law is politics. And like all politics, it's kept in check only by the practical limits of human behavior and societal pushback.

Constitutional law is profoundly indeterminate. Many critical legal theorists believe that "rights" and "legal rules" are just rhetorical dressing for power struggles. Those in power use the language of the law to get their way, bounded only by what the populace is willing to swallow without revolt.

All of this seems very legit and I’m personally not worried about a pandemic at this point (hantavirus is always around, rarely goes wild with p2p transmission). However… Y’all could just wear masks and that would pretty much stop it in its tracks.

The wildest thing about the release of new files on UFOs is that Donald Trump was mentioned in the Epstein files over 38,000 times.

The series finale of Dinosaurs was an emotionally brutal reflection on corporate greed and climate change, the entire family accepting the grim inevitability of death due to a handful of rich assholes making life for everyone else literally impossible. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Changin...

This regime is destroying our country and other parts of the world. It's our tax money folks. You have a right to call any senator not just your own. Full list attached for your convenience. 202.224.#### Use the last 4 digits in PHONE column Call every day Ok to call off hours. Be vocal.

The Callais ruling really brings home how we're living in a moment of cultural reaction against the culture consensus that emerged in the 90s and the aughts around race and gender. But I suppose I am most struck by how fragile this reaction feels. I do not think it will endure long.

"Hello daddy. I hope you are OK. Tell everyone from my class hello." here's some of what I saw and learned this week when I visited the Dilley ICE family detention center in Texas.

“The U.S. Department of Energy announced today that it is awarding $2.7B to 3 companies to boost domestic uranium enrichment.” The DOE “will award $900M each to American Centrifuge Operating & Orano Federal Services, as well as General Matter, a nuclear startup backed by…Peter Thiel.” 1/5/26 … 1/

The state of Tennessee stole three of her children and she was fighting desperately for her youngest daughter's custody, who was only an infant, when she was forced to carry a pregnancy that threatened her life. None of this is about children. It's about control.

Because we’re sick & tired of paying monthly subscription fees for everything we own, and of older models getting retroactively bricked by planned-obsolescence software updates, when we can just buy something once and have it still be fully functional 10 years later, hope this helps

Here’s the thing, though. If the Tennessee Supreme Court does strike down the maps, we know that the Tennessee General Assembly will reconvene, overturn this statute, and pass the maps again. The Virginia General Assembly needs to show the same level of fight.

watched this on repeat losing my shit for two nights now

please?

trans people have a huge, broken advantage in hotness i don't mean anatomy, or anything tangible i mean they've done the work to figure out who they are and how best to embrace that, cherish it—despite a lifetime of the whole world telling them who they should be, punishing any failure to conform

A really tough week. I am doing everything I can to spread the word about the threats to democracy and how we can fight back. You can help me by subscribing to Democracy Docket for free and sharing its content with everyone you know. Thanks. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

Once more, the guys who wrote Bible fanfiction and invented a villain called “the Antichrist” and described exactly what he was gonna look like, they’re seeing that guy as if he stepped off of the pages of AO3 and they’re like “man this guy fuckin rules.”

There's an old Cracked article that I think about all of the time which was about pulling one up from their bootstraps and how it's like offering up one bottle of booze to 10 winos and while it's true that one of them is going to win you know damn well that 9 of them are not going to have any booze

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but what’s going on in the south right now with voting rights and erasure, is a “kitchen table issue” — for Black families. And it should be for everyone.

TGIF Thank God It's Forty-eight hours until a friendly reporter drops optimistic news about the Iran War ending just hours before markets open.

lol the answer is no

................. does this editorial board ever get tired of looking like the most pathetic loser weenies on the planet or

"Musk pledged two years ago to build a state-of-the-art water recycling plant in Memphis to guarantee that his xAI servers wouldn’t deplete the city’s groundwater" "Now that Musk’s first data center is up and running, construction on the recycling facility has come to an abrupt halt"

this is the closest I've ever come to actually suggesting a "one neat trick" suggestion for anything, but I'm so serious here. the Virginia Constitution gives the legislature the power to set retirement ages for judges "REGARDLESS OF THE TERM TO WHICH ELECTED OR APPOINTED." make it 54 right now.

Black people are giving it these Confederates raw and uncut. This is how it’s gonna be now. You wonder what we’re thinking? It’s this. I believe this is activist Gary Chambers again in Louisiana.

EVERY ONE of the 4 families (us included) I asked for help here is NOT EATING! We're the ok-ish thanks to a pantry gift, but EBT was cut for 2 families, one is unhoused, & we're being buried by bills here. PLEASE send funds!? Direct is best but notes will be forwarded from us linktr.ee/wylder

If anyone would like to help me not be totally broke after arranging shelter for the next two nights, I’d be very grateful. Thank you! 💸💕💕💸 #transcrowdfund #mutualaid #crowdfunding #gofundme #disability #homeless My links are in my bio

“I dissent because the Court betrays its duty to faithfully implement the great statute Congress wrote. I dissent because the Court’s decision will set back the foundational right Congress granted of racial equality in electoral opportunity. I dissent." 19thnews.org/2026/04/supr...

For ourselves, we had a donation that has our bills paid through this Sunday, but doesn't allow wiggle room for every day living. We're also still waiting for EBT to hit a few days from now before we can buy anything. linktr.ee/wylder What can be spared will be forwarded by immediate need.

Got a message this afternoon asking for help with food costs:

Bestie reached out to me a few minutes ago asking if we had anything to help her do a groceery order so she could eat tonight. linktr.ee/vickivvinters

People liked to speculate about Biden not actually being in charge. But here's Trump actually TELLING us that he doesn't know what's being done in his name.

Author, bookseller, and publisher friends: Please keep posting your positive stories about selling books through Bluesky, and I'll package them up and show them to publishers so that we can get more book publishers and even more authors and book conversation here!

Big news! Colorado lawmakers passed a new conversion therapy ban that used a recent Supreme Court ruling, which struck down the state’s previous law, as a roadmap for the new protections against the harmful practice. www.advocate.com/politics/sta...

"none of us can cancel everything but everyone can cancel something" is the heart of this. Sometimes it feels like folks on here are more interested in yelling at each other over the ways we're all struggling to navigate this system instead of figuring out what parts we can do.

White supremacy in action. Make no mistake my white friends you’re next up on the block. Time to do the right thing. That means stop voting for republicans or not voting at all. The simplest act will make a world of difference. I give you Hungary. vote.org Register Vote Blue
