The drunk uncle theory. You don’t argue with the casually homophobic uncle at Thanksgiving dinner to change his mind; you argue so that the closeted cousin at the kids table knows there’s safe people and better possibilities out there

Seattle lawmaker Alexis Mercedes Rinck wants to ban new detention centers, jails

The Pentagon just failed its 8th consecutive audit and still got approved for a $1 TRILLION budget without blinking so I'm gonna need every corrupt hypocritical politician complaining about made up food stamp fraud and forcing drug tests and work requirements on poor people to shut up forever. Thx.

The police kill a lot of people the same way.

Everett passed the ordinance, not the Snohomish County Council, which is a pretty glaring mistake for "Seattle Red" to make here.

Come on. Oh he never wore wooden teeth. The truth is worse. They mention his dentures including human teeth in the article. Where'd he get those teeth from? He yanked them from the mouths of the Black people he owned.

This is a good thread. There is a huge difference between "the court system is still able to provide some positive outcomes in some cases" and "the court system is capable of providing due process and the system is fair."

"We need land back." "Indigenous activists erected multiple tipis at Coldwater Spring outside Fort Snelling." "Organizers demand land back in the form of 'returning Fort Snelling' to the Dakota people." #Minnesota #USA #Protest #Incarceration #Deportation #EthnicCleansing #Genocide

I’ll vote for whoever takes this seriously

“John Walton [son of Walmart founder Sam Walton] argued that ‘public schools would only improve if the “customers” had the power to leave ineffective schools and take their money with them.’” @colorado.gov bought into the idea that only wealthy deserve an education

😂

Today is the TRUE Valentine’s Day because chocolate is ON SALE.

"And we are asking for your support, to help us prepare the mission and purchase the food and medicine that we will bring to the Cuban people."

And pay attention to whoever takes over after Trump. They will create laws to “counter domestic terrorism” that everyone will think sounds great, but the people who it will affect will be that exact demographic all over again.

Welp.

The rank of “billionaires” having a whole class to abuse isn’t new. That’s slavery and if someone is writing about America and ignores slavery.. They’re just bad at their job . It’s no longer cute They are fundamentally choosing to give you bad information

how we got here

Yes! What if we treated extremely normal human variation as something other than a "disorder"??? www.positive.news/society/yout...

Okay look I'm glad they're ditching Flock but if the "city's network of surveillance cameras" can still be subpoenaed by out of state law enforcement for things like "did a woman come here to get an abortion from our state" then we shouldn't have them at all, period.

You didn’t think all those concentration camps they want to build are only for immigrants, did you? (Gift article)

Epstein-Barr is known to be a factor in people developing ME/CFS, which is basically what Long Covid is.

“art wasn’t just for everyone, but it was something for anyone who cared enough to participate”

Just gonna leave this here to say you ABSOLUTELY SHOULDn’t DO THIS…

Pregnant immigrants in Minnesota have been postponing their abortions, skipping aftercare, and delaying birth control visits and urgent cancer screening follow-ups to avoid coming in contact with federal immigration agents.

This is #TheDoubleTax. (Also IWPR is an AMAZING institution that puts out reliable analysis at the intersection of race and gender: iwpr.org)

Wrong. When Trump is gone, JD Vance will be president. He will be MUCH more effective, implementing MAGA’s will on the nation. You folks who are fixating on Trump either resigning or dying are setting yourselves up for disappointment. Things will get WORSE once Trump is gone. Think.

Remember when we all got mad that Israel was imposing a starvation blockade on Gaza? The US is doing the SAME THING to Cuba and hardly anyone is talking about it.

This would turn on my church choir voice so fast lol

…. I’m a non white scholarship private school and Ivy kid This is : - anti feminist yes but also racial segregation remixed - a new brand of shifting societal issues onto women and part of Project Eve so irresponsible yall make my ass itch - a disturbing signal of an uptick in abuse

One of the many reasons ICE doesn’t belong at voting stations is because they’re at public spaces that are multifunctional. Non-citizens shouldn’t be accosted and accused of trying to vote when they’re just trying to go to the library, church, the fire station, rec center etc.

All Mexican people deserve automatic US citizenship off the strength that half of the US used to be Mexico.

Ireland: a proper country.

Colorado for the win

Reminder that, if you don't want your skeets to show up on some cable news channel's feed the next time they have to fill a few minutes and don't feel like actually reporting anything of substance? Just fucking swear in it. A shitload.

1/ I made a comment the other night while watching @jbf1755.bsky.social Freeman at Night (A Few Thoughts For Those Who Can’t Sleep). She mentioned the importance of ID. I took a screenshot of my comment with a reply received. I fear folks really aren’t comprehending the severity of this issue.

Remember, AI doomerism is just another form of AI hype marketing. It's built on an assumption of inevitable dominance.

The SAVE Act is a poll tax in order to vote. It's voter suppression, pure and simple. #ProtectTheVote

Repost from NBC Washington & Darcy Spencer: A bill was introduced in Prince George's County [Maryland] honoring #DaCaraThompson, using her name to bring attention to #missingpersons cases in the county. Her mother, family members, advocates and elected leaders joined in support

Analilia Mejia was doing ICE Watch trainings at her campaign events. She was preparing future constituents for encounters with immigration agents. And she won. In an interview with @whitneycwimbish.bsky.social, one of her big priorities: end ICE's mass surveillance. prospect.org/2026/02/11/p...
