Okay does anyone who is following me know of any awesome Native American rock bands?

Can’t wait til other instances are spun up to protect the trans Bluesky Elders and others from the obviously hateful @safety.bsky.app.

idiot guy: i'm like the wolf i'm stalking my prey alone through the forest and being raw as fuck even if i'm in a group i'm the alpha actual wolf: i love my friends so much!!! i love to romp and kiss my bros and work together as a family <3 awooo etc etc have you seen the puppies oh my god come see

Parents who deny medical care like vaccines to their kids should simply go to jail for attempted murder and never be allowed contact with their kids. No excuse justifies that level of abuse.

My Thanksgiving food hot take is that sweet potato pie is superior to pumpkin in basically every way. What’s yours?

Find *a* group. Indivisible, your local socialist group, Lions club, Quakers, knitting circle. WHATEVER group gets you to a physical space; join it and mobilize it. People are actually doing that, which is why it isn't as visible online

Transparency? From @safety.bsky.app? LOL! Gotta get rid @aaron.bsky.team for THAT!

@vanhollen.senate.gov You gonna make a statement condemning violence against trans people today or you gonna be like the loser corporate Dems?

For every trans person still with us: you are not alone, you are loved, you belong with us

Every single sitting democrat needs to say this and act on it or they should be run out on a rail.

Man I am SHOCKED that Seattle elected a socialist. That place is like if an HOA was a city. Good luck to her.

BREAKING: Starbucks workers have launched a massive, nationwide strike. Baristas in 40 cities have walked off the job on the busiest day of Starbucks' year. Upwards of 12,000 @sbworkersunited.org members could ultimately go on strike as the union escalates.

We just launched the biggest primary program in Indivisible’s history. Help us (literally) send Schumer and the surrender caucus a message. open.substack.com/pub/ezralevi...

Disappointed with Heather Cox Richardson. Her piece read like it was written for 2017 not now. I think she and everyone who holds her opinion that Dems are strategic are scared. They want to go back to the familiar. Well sorry that normal is how we got here. Suck it up and fight.

The blue tsunami btw is what happens when dems run candidates that leftists like. Even GOP figured this out: speak to your base and they will win for you. So we need to start thinking of candidates to primary every senator sitting. More DSA less MIC.

Leftists just sitting here like WE TOLD YOU SO!

Senators know that if someone threw sandwiches or similar at them no jury would convict that either right.

@democrats.senate.gov You just betrayed your base after historic wins. I wouldn’t feel too safe right now.

I simply don’t believe that any senator didn’t know and approve of the betrayal. Prove me wrong @vanhollen.senate.gov and @alsobrooks.senate.gov. Stop this giveaway in its tracks.

What say you @vanhollen.senate.gov and @alsobrooks.senate.gov?

I'm seeing so many excellent memes and screencaps today missing their alt text! Please include *everyone* in your joy! Go to Settings > Accessibility, and turning on "Require alt text before posting." This way a reminder will pop up if you try to post an inaccessible image

Yup Tuesday proved that if Dems actually stick to lefty principles they win. Big.

My unhinged Mamdani election conspiracy based on absolutely nothing but vibes is: Sliwa stayed in the race specifically to act as a spoiler because he hates Cuomo THAT MUCH. It worked, too. Hah.

Fuck. They had the best political coverage. I bet that’s why they were axed: they told the truth and Conde Nasty cant have THAT. Hopefully they can go join the Flytrap or something.

their plainly stated goal is to starve forty million people until they get what they want, which is to rip health care away from millions more that this is too monstrous for most news organizations to tell the truth about does not change the facts

The Race Class (Gender) Narrative is a tested narrative on race & class that neutralizes the use of dog-whistle racism. Racial fear is often used as a tool to exploit anxieties and turn people against one another. This architecture combats this tactic. Sign up: www.mobilize.us/indivisibleb...

alright two fingers of Uncle Nearest on ice just told me that what the world needs is a @theflytrapmedia.com appreciation thread for the work the cofounders have done on this year's (re)subscription campaign so strap in, fuckos, for some worker-owned feminist media hype

Here are a few ways you can get involved right now. 1) Donate to your local food bank: Support your local food bank or mutual aid network with a financial gift to help feed families directly impacted by the shutdown.

I signed up with The Flytrap because I miss Bitch specifically and now I get both?? AWESOME!

Link's perma ban is wrong and should be reversed.

(4) Trump and the Republicans don't have an advantage over Democrats because they *better understand heartland Americans.* They have an advantage over Democrats because they created their own universe of propaganda outlets, and then went out and bought all the mainstream outlets. Duh.

If you want to help neurodivergent people? Vote for free healthcare. 🙄

PSA: The No Kings PAC is not affiliated with and had no role in putting on the 10/18 mobilization. If you get a spammy text from them claiming your donation will be 5x matched, know that it's not from anyone involved in the No Kings protest (and please direct your angry emails to them, not us)

Election Day is a week from tomorrow, and millions of Americans have a chance to elect important local leaders — judges, council members, school boards, and more — crucial to defending and rebuilding democracy. If you haven’t already, make a plan to cast your vote.

If you find yourself also spiraling a lot because you cant stop thinking of various potential doomsday scenarios, this way of thinking it through could help you, too.

Gonna put a tip jar up here! I am still in Toddlerland and not gonna try and promise any extra content (yet). But if you like my stuff on Bluesky I will never say no to a little cash towards preschool tuition.

I'm loathe to do it when I'm not producing actual content on Patreon, but. Between the health insurance stuff and the possibility of WIC going poof for a while, I'm just gonna put it out there: I have a Patreon! If you like my stuff here and want to throw cash in the hat, here you go:

Man, I am SO happy I pay for this. Like, genuinely glad to hand people this cool with this much integrity my money. If you want to feel good about where your money goes for once in this capitalist hellscape and/or love truly independent feminist media, SUBSCRIBE TO THE FLYTRAP.

Why the Secret Service? Why not the FBI?

I do miss going to Target for Halloween. They have a great selection. But I wont go until they go back to backing Black businesspeople and support DEI. Spirit, on the other hand, has a shirt that says "Once I was afraid now I'm tarrified". So they got my money.

Repenting and re-branding are not the same thing.

Oh holy shit the 20th anniversary American Idiot sounds AMAZING.

My random, no stakes pet peeve is when NFL announcers use baseball metaphors. There are plenty of metaphors from football!! USE THEM while you are broadcasting a damn NFL game!

My gods @aaron.bsky.team @moderation.bsky.app Just say you and Jay Graber hate trans people. Cuz its clear all yall do. Intolerance label? For a trans person describing themselves? FUCK RIGHT OFF.

I'll help you

Lol you think transphobes are gonna strike with us if we affirm trans people? This is where vour view has an obvious flaw: vou cannot have a tent of transphobes and trans people. transphobes wont allow it and trans people dont want to be around people who want them dead.

"purity tests" "circular firing squad" "the left eat their own" are such bullshit phrases. people disagree on politics! that's how it works. deal with it instead of whining about marginalized people correctly pointing out that certain "compromises" only strengthens fascism
