children no longer being safe trick-or-treating on american streets because of the president is where we're at

as a note, food banks need money, not canned goods

Imagine for a moment a world so dependent on data centers that every aspect of municipal infrastructure must be reshaped. Not around human need, but maintaining GPU farms that use exponentially more power and water with each build. Models are only growing, and our resources are only diminishing.

They are lying about our cities. They are lying about our immigrant neighbors. They are lying about our trans siblings.

They've lost the 9yos

Just posting something silly that made me happy recently. I’ve embraced singledom so fully that even my seltzer recognizes it. Perhaps it is I.

What's being "protected" is not "free speech" but rather the RIGHT for white men to be white supremacists in public without any criticism or any consequences. I hope that's clear.

I'll never step into another Target.

let's be clear: it is the mark of a fascist state that in the wake of a public murder the ruling party immediately scapegoats its political opponents it is the mark of a fascist state that despite the truth coming to light, it will not deter them from continuing the lie or correcting themselves

If we try real real hard and stop that and protect the voices hate speech pushed out we can win But we’ll do stuff like try and bargain and have “constructive dialogue”

The same Supreme Court that said it is unreasonable to consider race when giving kids access to education, has said it's reasonable to consider race when looking to remove someone from the country. Funny how that works.

they think they can just erase trans joy and trans freedom. they can't. they can make things a lot harder and more painful. but that joy and that freedom is not theirs to take and it is incumbent on all good people to say so.

YESSSSSSSSSS!!! Life is worth living.

JESUS, MARY, AND JOSEPH! This gave me old Google back! It killed the AI results dead!

Cities aren’t scary. You are scared. There’s a difference

This is vile.

Exactly. So obvious.

We need to teach people the difference between being uncomfortable and being unsafe. Because the discomfort of the safest people is endangering the most vulnerable, all day every day.

Did you know transit is 20 times safer than driving a car? Each year, public transportation prevents more than 2,500 injuries related to car accidents. Take Metro!

A Nazi owns Twitter, right wing billionaires own the Wall Street Journal and the LA Times, and CBS is run by a right wing nepo baby who just fired one of the network’s biggest stars for criticizing Donald Trump. Here’s why America has a left-wing media bias problem.

Making the county that holds this atrocity own the fact that it’s in their yard is an excellent strategy.

#Baltimore Mayor #BrandonScott invested in 42 summer youth camps, 29 literacy programs, extended the rec center hours to 11 p.m, planned block parties, opened the pools for safe fun, & opened several schools up for summer classes. Crime is down 62%. 🔥🔥 www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

Glad to see Van Hollen choosing to oppose racism. More Democrats should try it!

i genuinely dont know what other industry has failed as speculatively as journalism has failed at meeting this moment we are talking about whether zohran is going to do a sharia law while gop has been trying to pass a bill to strip medicaid to pay for concentration camps like

I remember some research about the links between whiteness and conspiratorial priors. Not enough to find it! But I remember it. Because I remember thinking well yeah if you believe you’re biologically superior you have already believed the biggest lie ever told. Selling you on aliens should be easy

what are you supposed to do when the "good" political party doesn't treat a dozen credible sexual harassment claims as disqualifying for a political candidate. how are you supposed to ignore that

Finally, I continue to harp on this because it's important, we are going to win at the local level. That's where the main fight must be waged. Get to ground and fight like hell. Take care everyone. Back offline.

Echoing all of this. 👇 And adding — take some time this month to be in community and celebrate queer joy, in whatever way and space is right for you! We all need it now more than ever. 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️

YES!!

They've arrested, detained, or assaulted a judge, a Mayor, a Congresswoman, a labor leader—and now a U.S. Senator. Imagine what they'll do to you. They are counting on our fear, which is why we must be courageous. If we don't fight back, they will come for all of us.

Elon Musk gutted the federal government, dismantled key institutions, and cut off food and medicine to some of the poorest people on the planet. By leaving DOGE, he’s trying to restore his reputation and rescue his struggling businesses. He should never be allowed to recover.

Who also says this all of the time? Me, lol.

CRY HAVOC AND RELEASE THE DOGS OF WAR

#BikeDc do the thing!

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE! Have you taken three minutes to save the political independence of the civil service? It’s easy! Here’s how you can do it: news.chanda.science/archive/urge...

ICE be like

A fantastic hypocrisy among many others that the stated proponents of “small government”, “states’ rights”, and “law & order” have the most overreaching, state-invading, constitution-ignoring government seen in decades and it’s only been 4 months

This Rümeysa Öztürk hearing is radicalizing. I've been a court reporter for many years, and I've never covered anything like this: A student deeply committed to her studies, imprisoned solely over writing an op-ed, being made to testify under oath for her own freedom. Dark, dark stuff.

Friends in and around DC, please follow and support @dcmigrantmutualaid.org for updates on local ICE activity. Remain alert, please video record video when you can, and call the migrant solidarity hotline if you see anything: (202) 335-1183.

The conservative movement has turned against reality on every scientific issue of our time, from gun violence to climate change to epidemiology. If campuses are ideologically homogenous, it's not because academia has ostracized conservatives. It's because conservatives have ostracized academia.

If only they had done this when their colleagues of color were under attack And yes we need to say that because if we survive this We need to reckon as a NATion With why we did not and where it’s led us

This is, in large part, pandemic revenge. As far as these oligarchs are concerned, all science does is tell them stuff they cannot do. They can't keep spewing carbon. They can't keep businesses open as usual when millions are dying. They have concluded that research is the enemy of profit.

It really is critical that people accept this. You don’t have to understand it, just accept it. The point is literally for kids and people to die. Now, is it foolish that they think THEY are the genetically superior? Sure. But eugenics is definitionally narcissistic and dumb.

This is me every single day since November 6, 2024. (Because even beyond the bigotry & fascism, they really are the very worst. And I refuse. I absolutely refuse.)

A vivid description of how the US treats people in immigration detention for infractions as nonsensical as “accidentally got in the wrong freeway lane without a passport”

If we can "avoid a government shutdown" by voting for this CR, then why is the entire Department of Education closed today? Why is USAID closed? Why are hundreds of billions in grant contracts frozen? We are already in the shutdown. And your votes DON'T stop it. In fact, they allow it to expand.

He wants to cause suffering, and the deaths of, as many people worldwide as possible. This is what I believe. He is a narcissistic sociopath who wants to be in the history books like Mao and Hitler.

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave. Tell them: 1. Vote NO on Cloture AND 2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill. Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it. TODAY is the showdown. 🤳🏽: (202) 224-3121

Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortex condemned ICE’s detainment of Mahmoud Khalil, calling it a “tyrannical” move. “If the federal government can disappear a legal US permanent resident without reason or warrant, then they can disappear US citizens too."
