It just occurred to me that the world basically sees anyone with a hidden disability as a "Karen." None of us are actually struggling. We're just complaining a lot and asking to speak to the manager. 🫠

I truly can't comprehend the audacity and arrogance of rich white men being like, "Oh no, we as a society can't do that because it doesn't benefit me, personally." Normal people actually *like* when others are happy, even if we don't "get" anything from it. I know, what a wild concept.

The way that American politicians have politicized fucking VACCINES is even more loathsome than their politicization of every other fucking apolitical thing.

If you come for people who oppose Newsom (bc he's a transphobic, fascist, bootlicker), its a block. Sorry, I do make the rules.

Jesus Christ

There seems to be a lot of discussion about Gavin Newsom today. I wanted to re-share this piece that I wrote, because I have a lot of center-to-left Dems that follow me that want to understand. There are very good reasons transgender people do not like Gavin Newsom.

A big problem with demanding everyone declare eternal loyalty to a politician at least two years before they even become the candidate is if that politician does something bad you're completely locked in.

On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast. The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me. But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.

"Do not obey in advance" includes all of the ridiculous shit I keep seeing liberals posting about the next presidential election. We are not even close to the primaries. Screeching "Vote blue no matter who" is literally how we got here. They know you will vote for anyone, so they will give the 1/2

I realized earlier that I'm only the third generation to have my last name. I hate it so much because of my abusive family. If I ever get away from them and accomplish anything in life, I don't want them taking credit. But my great grandfather changed his name when he immigrated, so at this point,

For me, my brain is also so fatigued that it just doesn't work properly. Or I'm so fatigued that I can't do things correctly.

We need more "period pieces" set in the 1980s and 1990s, because it's very apparent that most people under 30 do not understand what life was like. They don't ask for more because they don't think it's realistic. It was certainly not perfect, but in general, it was better than this.

Someone was abducted at 10 AM by ICE on Central Ave. Their coworker says they’ve lived here for over 20 years, are documented, and have 3 kids who were born here. Don’t be fooled by headlines when they’ve been lying to us the whole time. We still need you out patrolling until every agent is gone.

something from minnesota that i would like people to learn, that i don’t think is hitting people yet: helping MN is good. people need it. but people in your community need mutual aid too. care. resources. food. outside of times of crisis. and you can help.

CBP didn’t give her or anyone any water; she asked 3 times accg to other reports. CBP killed a 7yr old. “8 hours after the girl & her father were taken into custody, she began having seizures & her body temperature was measured at 105.7 degrees by emergency medical technicians. shorturl.at/d2OTJ

The system only seems to work for people who have others doing most of the daily physical, mental, and emotional labor for the, be it spouses/partners, children, or employees, so it doesn't seem like anyone is actually able to function in this system alone.

Skeleton athlete Vladyslav Heraskevych wanted to wear a helmet depicting Ukrainian athletes and coaches killed in the ongoing war against Russia.

What is happening in Palestine is connected to what’s happening with the Epstein Files. It’s been a long-game strategy to destroy the land and its people for the wealthy.

James Van Der Beek spent the last year of his life fundraising for cancer treatment. He auctioned off Dawson’s Creek memorabilia. Costars launched Cameos to raise money for his care. A serious diagnosis in the US can financially destroy you. Universal healthcare saves lives.

Liberals already fighting leftists over primaries that haven’t even started yet is the most Democratic Party shit I have ever seen.

I would appreciate any of the Saikat bros explaining why it's ok for him to have a "comedy show" campaign fundraiser and joke about the Epstein files. He wants to be in Congress, and thinks it's appropriate to make jokes about the files at his own fundraiser. Fuck that guy. Vote Connie Chan.

"I don't know" means "nothing I've tried so far," and/or "nothing I can afford."

Cutting benefits for those assessed as unable to work, clearly isn’t about “supporting people to work”. It’s about punishing the most vulnerable. The most vulnerable disabled people are being killed.

The US cutting off oil to Cuba is truly one of the most depraved acts it is possible to imagine. Hospitals will close, food production will collapse, people will starve. It is urgent for US citizens, and every sane person, to oppose this barbarism with all their might.

I will be honest: we are not talking nearly enough about the downstream effects of these ICE and CBP deployments. For example: landlords and debt collectors file more aggressive collection and eviction suits with dubious (or no) factual bases, knowing that the defendants won't go to the courthouse.

The CEO opened a donut shop in San Francisco. I wish that was a joke.

I honestly think one reason our narcissistic boomer parents made sure we were struggling too badly to have kids is because then they can be as horrible and miserable and abusive as they want, and no future generations will hear and pass down stories about what pieces of shit they are.

Is anyone else mad at the fact that they have to pay federal taxes for bullshit they don't want? Like new ballrooms, the Gestapo, child torture, and human trafficking. I wanna pay for education, social services, UBI, and universal health care! I'm so gotdamn mad right now, I need to lie down.

An Israeli air attack on a residential building in western Gaza City has killed at least four people.

Wear a mask! Ideally a well fitted respirator like an N95. Covid is not over. The government pushed a “back to normal” agenda for the economy, not because it was safe. They told us “only the vulnerable” needed to worry, but covid is a multi system vascular virus that is dangerous to everyone.

64 was the original official death toll for Puerto Rico during Hurricane Maria. It was later revised to 2,975. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hurrica...

Super Bowl viewers Sunday speculated that 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos appeared in the halftime show. In fact, he has been in hiding with his family. “He can’t sleep well at night. He wakes up three or four times a night screaming, ‘Daddy, Daddy,’” Liam's father Adrian Conejo Arias, said.

it drives you insane how much erosion of freedom is justified by concern for kids when the people who actually hurt them will never face consequences

Tesla received far more from this program than other manufacturers, despite the fact that its product may not have met certification requirements. Tesla received far more from this program than other manufacturers, despite the fact that its product may not have met certification requirements.

I arrived too late to an abduction yesterday. Ice vehicles boxed in a food delivery driver on the highway. They took him, and when I came on the scene (with a few other neighbors in cars), his keys were still in it. We found his phone, a debit card, his car title and registration.

I have a lot of thoughts about the true crime genre, especially shows/"fans" who treat it like it's entertainment. But it helped me realize that certain behaviors were abuse, and dangerous. And it taught me about the professionals who are responsible for handling evidence like the Epstein files.

Another classic post-Homan day where around school dismissal time we get a flurry of ICE vehicles all across our neighborhoods. Today one vehicle led an observer to their own home and pointed at it. This is a sick game to them, but we won’t be intimidated and we won’t stop until DHS is abolished.

Trolling on social media is so pathetic. In 2026, they just sound like they don't know how the internet works and aren't allowed out in public. Plus, they're indistinguishable from bots. Troll farms in foreign countries where they don't speak native English sound exactly like them. Really sad.

We don't have to be hostages to Congress members who do not serve us. Primary until we get the Congress we need.

ICE has now spent over half a BILLION dollars just on purchasing warehouses around the country to convert into detention camps. If these mega-camps are utilized to the full capacity ICE intends, they'll be the largest prisons in the country, with little real oversight. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

I hear from people who are surprised I'm still talking about ICE, they thought they'd withdrawn from MN. No, they have not. In some respects they've escalated. Some asked why MN is a target. Are there are there a lot more illegals or criminals here? No, it's not about that. It's about a grudge.

Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

It says a lot that the only people I ever see talking about disability in a way that isn't condescending or flat out eugenics, are other disabled people.

Begging folks to realize that ICE enforcement is a mass disabling event. People are being shot. They’ve been blinded. They’ve been traumatized. The camps are full of disease. TB, Covid and measles can all kill but they also disable. It’s eugenics. www.texastribune.org/2026/02/07/i...

It's actually super easy to care about other people. Like. I don't know what to tell you, but if it's hard for you, something is wrong with you. Caring about people is how humanity survived. The first sign of civilization is a skeleton that had healed broken bones. Aka people caring for them.

When you spend nearly all your time at home and can’t go anywhere or do anything, the things many call “conveniences” or “nice to haves” actually become necessary to keep going, and to keep sane. It’s horrible feeling imprisoned in your own body.

Idk if this was inspired by people saying it about San Francisco right now, but it's enraging. I grew up having lovely conversations with homeless people, and our schools had us volunteer at soup kitchens. It was a much friendlier, better city back then. I miss it with my whole heart.

Maybe we need to stop expecting the rich, white men who have caused all the problems, to come up with the solutions… Just an idea…
