I got the most badass tanktop today at Coimbra BD! Design by Luoro.

You can eat all organic food, drink green juice every day, do yoga, get vitamin D and touch grass… and still become disabled. Wellness culture can’t save you from disability. What’s worse, most wellness “gurus” will blame you when you become ill. Wellness culture is toxic & eugenics adjacent.

When nothing seems to help, I go and look at a stonecutter hammering away at his rock perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the hundred and first blow it will split in two, and I know it was not that blow that did it, but all that had gone before. -Jacob Riis

Sean Duffy says he hasn't seen enough data to believe in the benefits of bike lanes. So we put together this cheat sheet to help him out — mostly using information from his own department. buff.ly/lo1C6dR

From my latest piece. The true motivating energy behind the anti-trans activists of today.

It is not a “DEI” rollback it is the resegregation of American universities. Headline writers could at least be honest about this.

Motherfucker.

"Abolish ICE" sounded like a radical demand to Democrats, though ICE itself only dates to 2003. Today, it should be clear to even the most deluded liberals that if you establish institutions for the sole purpose of brutalizing people, authoritarians will inevitably use them to consolidate power.

that op-ed featured chilling anecdotes like this one, which if you read closely you will note contain *not so much as a hint of any actual "consequences," steep or otherwise, this kid faced.* Just ... people disagreed with him, I guess? anyway, now students are being kidnapped and disappeared.

three years ago the New York Times published an op-ed by a college student complaining about the chilling effect of feeling "disdain" from fellow students, because the New York Times wanted to convince America the real threat to free expression was something other than a looming right-wing autocracy

Mask bans kill disabled people. This is the point. You want to support the disabled community? Wear a mask!

Tiny ballet flats, palm-sized flip flops, velcro-strap sneakers with movie character illustrations: Approximately 17,000 pairs of children’s shoes lined Pennsylvania Avenue in a memorial for Palestinian children killed by the Israeli military since October 2023.

I just cried in my office after having another student in here talk about precautions they're taking about their status. I have received calls all week from people who need their names removed off publications or letters I was part of organizing. I feel sick and helpless and so so angry.

Much of America in the coming months is going to be: *** I can excuse racism and transphobia but I draw the line at my 401(k) ——— You can excuse racism and transphobia?

SCOOP: In his first meeting with staff, Dr. Oz, who now controls the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services and its $1.5 trillion budget, promoted the idea that AI avatars could replace frontline health care workers.

Students from Muslim-majority countries as well as Asia and Africa are having their visas revoked with little or no explanation. “It’s a concerted effort to go after people who are from countries and religions that the Trump administration wants to get out of the country.”

This conversation becomes more relevant by the minute. So grateful to @haymarketbooks.org for hosting, to the brilliant minds & seasoned organizers who agreed to join me, & to Democratizing Justice & Funders for Justice for sponsoring Tomorrow! Don’t miss it! www.tickettailor.com/events/hayma...

this is the logical extension of the bipartisan "tough on crime" politic

Sure you’ve lost your life savings but hey at least you can say all the slurs you want in the break room of the job you no longer have

"We will not forget those who have orchestrated this injustice, the govt officials and uni administrators who have targeted you without cause...They sit in their ivory towers, scrambling to fabricate lies and distort the truth, throwing accusations like stones in the hope that something will stick."

today is National Library Workers Day, and i am asking you to support library workers by -using your library (it matters!); -defending library workers against the ongoing efforts to intimidate, silence, and criminalize them; -advocating for better pay for them. 📚

Now there's a protest sign you don't see often.

There’s no need for a devils advocate btw.

Building a mass movement (instead of a subculture) will require a lot of cringe, so get comfortable with it

“Tubman’s photograph is now gone. In its place are images of Postal Service stamps that highlight “Black/White cooperation” in the secret network and that feature Tubman among abolitionists of both races.” wapo.st/4jdXL8m

An Israeli man who claimed to have fought off Hamas attackers on October 7, and whose claims he saw the bodies of Israeli rape victims were upheld as proof of atrocities, was exposed as a complete fraud by an Israeli journalist whose report was spiked after a promo video sparked nationalist outrage

PSA to business owners: Don't just pass on the tariff cost to your consumers quietly. Add a line on the bill and explicitly label it "Trump Tariff." Show people *why* it is costing more.

💔i love birds so so much. this is really heartbreaking. i know there’s so much else going on that is also heartbreaking, i’m not saying this is the biggest or most important thing. it’s just a thing that hurt me to read today.

I can’t stress how the HHS layoffs & budget cuts to State Health Departments impact you personally. You may think you have nothing to do with public health or the government but the government has worked to keep you safe & healthy everyday. “Public health saved you today & you didn’t even known it”

All of America’s supposed enemies this morning

Remember this whenever people try to categorize racism as the domain of poor and backwards people. The people at the commanding heights of commerce, media, and law worked to empower Trump and enable his agenda.

As we watch the Trump people get *praise* for deciding tariffs with guesswork equations and shoddy decision making where war crimes are celebrated I can’t help but think of all the Black people who got tagged as unqualified by this same crowd.

“There isn’t a single person in this entire country whose life isn’t impacted by the essential functions of HHS, and soon we’ll see what happens when those functions are destroyed.”

"When investigators in the field confronted a potentially life-threatening contamination that compromised drug sterility, Pohlhaus was the person they would call. He’s the one who helped them gather evidence that could halt dangerous manufacturing or shut down a pipeline of compromised products."

it’s hard to get americans to care about people in prison, but it’s *bad* for trans women inside & a lot of us rn are one wrong interaction away from being entangled with the law, through no fault of our own. if you’re cis & there’s a trans person in your life you care about, you should read this.

It’s sad that it requires courage right now for a university president to file something as straightforward as this, but it does. Thanks to Tufts University President Sunil Kumar for filing this. www.tufts.edu/president/sp...

eric adams is a shitbag in oh so many ways but bringing back civil rights violations as a matter of course is one of the worst

Life comes at you ... at exactly the rate it promised to come at you during its 4-year re-election campaign where it told you exactly what it planned to do literally thousands of times.
