If you've given biometrics to TSA (Pre-Check and Global Entry members) and you plan to attend a protest, you should wear a medical mask.

Got long COVID from an asymptomatic infection after getting vaccinated. Couldn't read a whole paragraph or use a basic video game controller. Would blank out while driving and come back drifting into another lane and would get lost going to and from work. Long COVID is really really serious.

the president of the united states should not be allowed to personally loot the treasury to the sum of ten billion dollars and that this is not resulting in immediate, unanimous impeachment is a dramatic indictment of what has become of our political system

I interviewed 300 high achievers about their morning routine, and you will never believe, they all have inherited family wealth.

One of the hardest things to explain to people who aren’t here is the very real feeling that we are in a war against the federal government. Not only are we occupied by unaccountable armed, masked paramilitaries, but we are constantly aware our neighbors might be abducted in the blink of an eye.

I tell people they should mask because you don't want to suddenly be allergic to shit you once enjoyed. It sucks actually

Sanrio Surprise “associate” at a mall Mainframe data tape operator Record store customer service Bookseller at bookstore Helpdesk at art school

be wary of people whose Opsec advice is "don't go anywhere or do anything unless you've spent dozens of hours and thousands of dollars taking preventative actions to protect yourself"

100% this, also it glamorizes dramatic and super illegal direct actions when, in reality, the people making a difference in Minneapolis right now are 3D printing whistles and delivering groceries to the neighbors.

What makes Gavin Newsom such a skilled politician is that he stands up to Trump’s bullying with piping hot memes AND is able to agree with Trump about policy www.sacbee.com

please remember that no matter how many “ICE is losing in MN” articles you read today, there is still a very real, urgent, ongoing crisis in Minnesota. people need food and they need rent money. that has not changed.

Patriotism is not always good. But there is some shit about Americans that I think will eventually make the occupation impossible. I think these nazi fucks got it all wrong if they think a country of stubborn, loud, proud individualists are gonna bend the knee to the King's Royal Fuckheads

Again, talking about ordinary government processes as if we're not living through a major political crisis creates the illusion of normalcy. It's counterproductive. We have a lawless, illegitimate president and we have to confront that fact, loud and often

If you work at Apple, Zoom, Amazon and AMD (not to mention Palantir or Nvidia) i think you should organize, unionize, and hold your fascist enabling CEO accountable. You are powerful together

It’s low-key been one of my goals to outlive DHS and ICE since they were created. Call your representatives and get that funding canceled.

MINNESOTA VERSION OF COME OUT YE BLACK AND TANS

Been doing job and loan applications all over and about to do another round, but still broke AF and struggling. Help me keep my accommodation and finish up this masters program, which will open up opportunities for me! gofund.me/b4a57d3b9

I've never seen a population more united. If people can hold onto that unity, if people can accept that different people will have different ways of confronting fascism, if we can remind NGOs and orgs that they can join but not control the resistance, then, well, people here will write history.

Uh oh yeah i have a radio show 8pm-9pm GMT every Weds - www.ucc.ie/en/983fm/ On for another 30 mins tonight playing some jazz from 2025 releases

Shit most of the time I don’t know what to say so I end up reposting stuff, but like I am a human in grad school

They do not understand that we are successful versions of us, not failed versions of someone who never was.

N95s offer superior protection against flu and Covid. They can protect your health and the health of those around you. Many people also find them much more comfortable than surgical masks. If you can’t afford them, look for your local mask bloc. If you can afford them, please donate!

LA Gov. John Bel Edwards' veto of HB 648, our 2023 healthcare ban, begins: "The bill is entitled the Stop Harming Our Kids Act, which is ironic because that is precisely what it does." He wrote he'd "never issued a veto with the degree of detail that I am providing here." It's 6 pages. 1/2

gentle reminder to folks living in cities that are not under siege by the federal government yet: please start getting involved with your local mutual aid orgs asap, even if it's in an "on-hold / as available" capacity. a large bottleneck for mutual aid orgs is vetting. it takes time to do safely.

The EPA's tailpipe emissions standard is one of the most successful regulatory programs in US history. Tailpipe emissions cause asthma and cancer, especially in kids. This is the NYC skyline in 1973.

Most of what can be said is being said, but something I keep thinking about: we were protesting the potential of this eventuality at the formation of DHS and ICE back in 2002/2003.

They don't have capacity to terrorize more than 2-3 cities at a time. Which means they rotate teams to new cities without relief. Which means consistent resistance by fresh activists in each new city will break them over time. Which means if you're city's not occupied, rest up and get ready.

I regret to inform you that they’re coming out with a new version of white that doesn’t include you

Echoing this to say that $1 a month to a creator whose work you like is equivalent to easily a thousand ad-supported views on their videos. Even a little bit of support makes a hugely outsized difference - pick your favourites and support where you can.

Give me your reading/audiobook recommendations! I want to read more this year. I finally figured out to use my library card with Borrowbox, I guess Libby is US-only? Anyway, libraries are cool.

How people sound when I tell them AI is bullshit and they say, “well it’s here now, you can’t avoid it“ “well bleach is a liquid, you’ll have to drink it eventually“

I think the last paragraph of it is important enough that it needs inclusion.

I implore you to hit up CVS and get your flu shot. Please don’t game it with whatever else you heard. It’s real serious and we don’t gave any public health allies in the government now.

I don’t know how to process the horrific fire hose of tragedy that has been omnipresent but has spiked this weekend, and I suspect I’m not alone. We aren’t meant to carry this much suffering and be able to function at “normal” capacity. Be gentle with yourself and others, if you can.

The New School was founded by Columbia University professors who wanted a university run by the faculty with minimal administration. For over 100 years it has been a unique institution with progressive values and incredible students and faculty from Ai Weiwei to Hannah Arendt. We are devastated.

Have you considered buying a LittlePuss subscription service for your enemies or lovers? Because we would love nothing more than to consistently ship them safe transsexual literature over the course of a year. We don't like to traffic in hyperbole but it's probably the best decision you'd ever make.

This has only gotten worse as the reboot kicks into high gear.

Okay @erinbiba.bsky.social it’s time for my second-most anticipated annual thread: Cats in Christmas Trees (and Battling Menorahs). Starting off strong with Donut.
