Btw "everything is a distraction from Epstein" internet people & "everything is a distraction from health care policy" official Democratic accounts, eventually the overrepresented-on-Bluesky people who care most about collapse of the constitutional order & ethnic cleansing will lose our minds.

The federal government is actively at war against the civilian population of Chicago

love to portland. fuck absolutely all of this.

it’s fucking insane that you can log off for a few hours and come back to find trump invaded another city in his own country

This is literally me.

Also this is appalling. Jesus Christ.

You will NEVER get me to support this goblin and its so obvious they wanna build everything around this fetid ghoul so bad.

For #caturday afternoon, Bean is ROUND, and hisses if you move because those are your two legs she's sleeping between. She is purring, though.

2020 was a real wakeup call for me in terms of 1) what police mistreatment my aging body was (not) equipped to take, and 2) what new mistreatments police were ready to dish out. 2025 is going to be that squared for a lot of people. It is already, in a number of cities

It is not appropriate to call fascists "fascist" until a secret moment where they are fascist ENOUGH for the self-appointed civility police And then once we hit that secret moment, the ACTUAL police will arrest you for saying it It's almost as if we're just never allowed to call fascists "fascist"

Please share and give if you can

I hope somebody somewhere is keeping a list of the legal loopholes that need to be closed the next time (if ever) a normal person is president.

Whew! Got my Novavax this morning. If you are have Long Covid or a rough time with the mRNAs, there’s a lot of anecdotal reports that the side effects are significantly less. My last Pfizer post-LC resulted in a 6 week crash, but two doses of novavax have given me zero side effects. YMMV, of course.

Please, if you have the privilege of not being an obvious and immediate target for state violence... Call them fascists, loudly, ESPECIALLY right now. Call yourself an antifascist, loudly, ESPECIALLY right now. We all need to be Spartacus on this one.

One thing that a legal education really drives home is how much of our law is basically rich old white guys saying "well, you see, this <simple thing> is really complicated" then writing 10's of pages of bullshit for why *other people* should be treated worse, lose their rights, etc.

Anyone who votes to end birthright citizenship as it is understood now, in defiance of clear law and the tradition they claim to value? They are voting to create a permanent underclass of rightness, stateless people in the United States. They are voting to bring back slavery.

If they let this go, in service to this tyrannical fascist and the horrible fascism that is gripping this nation, they are saying that all of the high and mighty solutions they proclaim we have do not exist, so long as they are in charge.

Every time SCOTUS has taken a right away, they've spoken all high and mighty about well, pass laws, or well, amend the Constitution. We fucking did that.

There is no measured way to say what I am about to say. If the Supreme Court agrees with the Trump administration to end birthright citizenship, we must end this current Supreme Court. I do not say this lightly.

if Dems ever manage to wrest back control of the Supreme Court I do not want to hear one word from the liberal justices about precedent applied to Trump-era decisions no Merrick Garlands

Still struggling to meet my minimum weekly client # which is making adjusting to my new pay cycle near impossible. So I need some help again please. Rent: $40 Toiletries: $30 Cat Food: $30 I have Zelle (dm me) or PayPal: paypal.me/doseofnightshade #EmberLionmane for cuteness

During his first term, Trump ordered his Secretary of Defence to “shoot protesters in the leg”. Thankfully, Mark Esper refused. Because it’s was wrong. Now Trump has authorized Secretary of War Pete Hegseth to use full force on “war ravaged” Portland. Do you think Hegseth will refuse?

Please share

There is no cavalry coming to save us. We are going to be forced to be our own cavalry and part of that is going to be exerting pressure in situations where people feel they are safe and they should not be. Make fascist uncomfortable in public Again. Loudly.

This is the time for the inner Karen and a lot of people to come out and to literally make it impossible for the systems of power and control to solidify further. God knows many of yyou have it in you for when your parking spot gets taken at a fucking Culver’s. Use it for good now.

If you were a white suburban American, who is not an immediate target for fascist violence, use that privilege and place in society now while you still can to do what you can to stymie the fascist who are now attempting to crush the country beneath their boots.

If you were wondering how you can actively help to protect people in this moment and you’re a white middle-class American the way you can protect people now is by using your position of privilege and relative safety to call what is happening by its name and to get louder than you have ever been.

1. A new The 19th/SurveyMonkey Poll finds that a majority of Americans are against trans youth care bans. This includes a majority of Independent voters, casting doubt on the narrative that Democrats need to pull back on transgender people. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Please share, we’re matching 3,000 (!!) 💚 The situation is more desperate, so we bring our hope more boldly, right? In two weeks, you’ve helped six families evacuate Gaza City—to survive. The final two are besieged under tank fire and worse. Help them escape south. 239/7000 by Tuesday night.

These babies need some food and I can't really afford to get food for them, the meds that keep me alive, and the gas that allows me to get around, Dash for DoorDash, or take them to the park at the moment w/o help If anyone has the means to, pls consider helping us out www.paypal.me/truefeyqueen

Driving me just a little bit up a wall that people are freaking out about giving their kids Tylenol now. Low info folks shouldn’t be wrong to trust their public health officials. But the fate worse than death they’re all trying to avoid is my every day life and it gets old having to assuage them.

Why are people like this? I'm reminded of how many people are weirdly anti library as I now block people for being... anti postal service. We are allowed to have nice things even if they don't make anyone a godzillionaire, dammit!

Random Fact Scallops are readily distinguished from other bivalves as the only bivalve that “jets” through the water.

Pay attention to the way Trump & RFK Jr speak about people with autism and other disabilities. They act like it’s a fate worse than death. Like we’re an aberration that must be “corrected”. Like disability is a failure that is not to be tolerated. It’s not compassion, it’s eugenics.

Today as I protested ICE fascists in Broadview, IL I realized: •93% of people ICE is snatching up have no history of violence •ICE is the source of violence •We need unity & we need messengers—not martyrs Here’s what I mean—with pics & video from today’s protest: www.qasimrashid.com/p/when-prote...

Mamdani serves a full, nutritious meal in an era where politics is either deadly poison or vacuous junk food. He uses the tried and true "we did, we can, we will" framework that helps abate cynicism but without papering over past harms or present injustice.

Every morning Mohammed sits down and figures out how much he needs to keep his family alive and then asks for help ❤️

This! Amazing that we have to keep saying it, in this day and age...

We have a white supremacist gestapo with complete immunity in our country now.

@forwardfacingeyes.bsky.social is likely a burner account to harass MA posters

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Eslam. It’s Eslam’s 34th birthday today. She worked in a hair salon before this started. Her husband had immigrated and since the war she has lost contact with him and is on her own with her three children Islam, 8, Yahya, 5 and Mohammed, 4.

Baha and Samaa have worked hard to make their tent into a nice home for their girls, but it provides neither shade nor insulation, it's infested with insects, and they're all suffering from the effects of malnutrition. Please help. gofund.me/db56c7ce3 @mommunism.bsky.social @lexialex.bsky.social 🍉

If you go into the details, it makes the play clear as day. China gets to keep the money and the company, but our government gets the user data and to influence the algorithm. They're working WITH China to spy on us. Seems like a layup message for Dems if they want it.

Moment of silence at the New Yorkers Against ICE march. Never saw a moment of silence in the middle of a march. Deeply moving. So many people have been hurt by this administration. Abolish ICE.

I fits! Our sweet kitty asking for attention.

This rally was just announced maybe 10 days ago? I want you to know that you are not alone. Find the people who are standing up in your community and join them. We are going to win.
