I use an English-Arabic translator to talk to my Palestinian friend, and every time I reverse the translation my English words are somehow put into more beautiful phrasing

Good morning to Rhea Ripley and Rhea Ripley only

Ni dinero ni función ejecutiva 🤡

It’s not lost on me that the whole ✨it only affects ppl with pre existing conditions, so it doesn’t matter if we leave disabled ppl to die✨ sentiment of the pandemic helped to popularize this line of thinking for a lot of ppl….. and I’m not just talking about Israel either.

A leaf on the tide.

Netanyahu nominating DT for a Nobel Peace Prize like me appointing myself to the Head of Neurosurgeons at Johns Hopkins

$300 Only Left To Close This weekly Goal Can you do it today? It's a beautiful day to support those who are suffering! We are collecting the price of a bag of flour for my family, which consists of me, my mother and my 4 siblings.

For all the grief astronomers.

To be clear on what they're proposing: human beings using water for drinking, washing, and growing crops will be rationed. The AI datacenters will have all the water they can contaminate.

If you are in LA (or even if you’re not) a practical thing you can do is donate to vendor buyouts, which allow vendors to stay home rather than risk kidnap. @ktownforall.org is running several neighborhood-based ones. Please drop more below if you know of them.

Nope nope nope my ancestors did not live through this for it to fckn happen AGAIN

I need everyone to hear this: if we are not centering and listening to disabled ppl in this moment, our priorities and vision for the future are fucked. Disabled ppl are the ppl most likely to be poor. This bill will kill them. And we already abandoned them to COVID. We have to show up now

Please stop blowing kisses at the camera internet people, it makes me irate

A government ban on Hungary’s Pride parade backfired Saturday as over 100,000 people marched through Budapest, far more than usual PM Viktor Orban warned people to stay away, threatening “clear legal consequences.” But the warnings only turned a modest event into a mass rally against his government

New from 404 Media: ICE is using a new facial recognition app to identify people, leaked emails show. Point camera at person, reveal their identity. It uses the CBP system that records peoples' faces as they enter or exit the U.S. Now, turned inwards to be used by ICE www.404media.co/ice-is-using...

I know im yelling into the void here but even if you cant support palestinians financially, pls see what you can do to support them emotionally. The depression and hopelessness is real. My friend told me that some days what pulls him back from the edge is little shows of support and solidarity, and

Why is it that in the small little microcosm that is my community, largely the only people actively sponsoring and supporting families from gäzā are the ones who have some kind of disability (physical or mental)...? Like debateably it's harder for us to do literally any task but yet...?!??

My heart is with my Iranian friends and their families. May everyone live.

Content creators have supplanted legacy media & are responsible for a leftward shift in the minds of millions; one so profound that they had to buy Twitter, take over TikTok/Meta, Etc to stop us. The manosphere dudes get their money because they get in where the old guard no longer holds sway.

The thing I’m finding with the surge of genAI as a tool of fascism is that I’m that much more motivated to make art by hand and to read and annotate physical books. I bought Ovid’s Metamorphoses yesterday and am annotating For Fun

I know that all external circumstances of capitalism and fascism are built to wear us down and make us want (or need) to outsource everything but I refuse to outsource my creativity/independent thought or let my imagination atrophy. Keeping them alive feels vital

I think it is also because art is so crucial to imagining a different world, a better world than the grim misery and hatred the authoritarian offers.

"No racial or ethnic group has experienced more negative impacts from gentrification than Black people, according to researchers from the National Community Reinvestment Coalition, a coalition of 700 nonprofit organizations focused on directing resources to America’s most vulnerable communities."

Mosh pits as gender-affirming experiences send skeet

By shifting the images of conflict FROM masked thugs kidnapping people who are just checking in for their immigration status meetings… to…. Lawful Military versus chaotic violent protestors, they are hoping to frame the conversation in terms of good v evil. Do not give them that opportunity.

Trump operates almost uniformly in the epistemology of spectacle. Entertainment. Theatrics. Images of chaos in the streets of major U.S. cities is exactly what this administration wants. It reinforces the conflation of “urban” with “violence” like this is where lawlessness reigns.

My children haven't eaten bread for two days 💔 If you care about their lives, show your kindness and generosity and contribute even with one dollar so I can buy food for my children 🙏 GoFund.me/d895618c

it’s easy in this moment to be apathetic about lobbying democrats over a reconciliation bill that they can’t stop but if democrats don’t hear from people now that they want trans lives to be spared, saved and supported then they’ll enter appropriations thinking we can be a sop to fund the govt

while reporting that rolling stone story i heard time and again from these dems the ONE circumstance in which politicians and staff would change their minds actually hearing from voters from constituents seeing them protest seeing them show up at town halls this WILL actually move a needle

🗣️ DIRECT AID NEEDED Please do what you can to spread this GFM far and wide. Please contribute whatever you can, it means the world to a very awesome little family! 🗣️

This is—it bears repeating—ethnic cleansing and a war crime. It feels utterly pointless to say, and roughly equivalent to screaming into the void, but the United States should not be supporting or providing any aid to a state that has ethnic cleansing as a policy position.

We need cis people to stand up for trans people right now. It's not enough to politely refute transphobia. Trans people are facing an immediate, existential threat and we need your help

No food has entered Gaza for 73 days and the price of a bag of flour has risen to $400 or more. Families like Shawqi & Roba's depend on your generosity for survival.

i want someone to calculate how much these collective decisions cost, that it may radicalize us all, ferally

But often worse, somehow
