I fear that the people who need this message the most are not going to see it, but I’m still gonna share it anyway

Happy May Day to all who celebrate!

Ok there's a lot of incorrect information going around on this, so I want to be clear that the problem with the Big 3 and EV's isn't that the Big 3 didn't want to make EV's. The problem, as with so many things, is Trump. I'm gonna do a little thread on this because people don't seem to be aware. 1/x

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 PBS catchin strays

📌Barack Obama was targeted 11 times in assassination attempts during this two terms. I bet you don't remember any of them because they were handled through proper channels, professionally, and he isn't a whiny bitch.

Bette Midler just covered Woody Guthrie’s 1940 “All You Fascists (Bound to Lose)” with Barbara Hershey, giving it an anti-Trump twist. Imagine needing a WWII-era protest song for current events—and here we are. #sheshed

every few months, americans are asked to resume their banquet and pretend a shooting didn't just happen

So there's this classic fable called The Boy Who Cried Wolf that I'm sure was read to all of you at the age of 5.

MAGA accounts tweet in unison about the need for a White House ballroom following WHCD incident

Everyone immediately assuming that an attempt on the President is staged is probably not a sign of a healthy democracy.

return to tradition, and by that i mean matriarchy

Frankly, there are very few movies that wouldn’t be vastly improved by adding Godzilla

I did some visible mending and it is so darn cute

My child/artist was recently awarded a Silver Key in the Scholastic Art Awards and invited to a selective pre-college art program this summer. If you’re able to support or share, it would mean a lot. I certainly can't afford this fancy stuff. gofund.me/e60cc2c6c

I set up my Grammy's shadow box

Today, it’s not your vote that determines whether the government brutalizes you or sends officers to your door. It’s your neighbors’ vote. If you’re ok with this happening to Minnesotans, don’t get comfortable. You won’t be exempt for long. In the end, a lawless administration comes for everyone.

Arnoldo Bazan, a 16-year-old U.S. citizen, was put in a chokehold by ICE agents. Agents took his phone, which he tracked to a used electronics vending machine near an ICE detention center. Yes: ICE is stealing and selling people’s things after brutalizing them. There are no words.

omg

I’m seeing posts from people (outside of MN) about how US citizens should carry their passports. And let me say that *inside* MN, we are calmly responding to requests with: “No, I don’t have to show you any documentation.” Because that’s how you protect everyone, regardless of immigration status.

Standing offer: I'll give feedback (after Feb 15 only) on up to 25 pages to anyone who donates any amount to an org/fundraiser/wishlist in the link. I'm a former journalist, current novelist, and writing teacher. Synopses, queries, chapters, op-eds, all good. Honour system: DM and tell me where/what

My child has made me a tiny dragon to paper mache Prayers for him, as I get my hands on him

I think he meant to say "Starship Troopers"

Yes, immigration agents not only took Arnoldo's phone, the 10th grader had to use Find My Phone to locate it — in a vending machine for used electronics, close to an ICE detention center. Read the full story here: www.propublica.org/article/vide...

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH

The people at Kid Fucker Island aren't victims, I want their fucking names and faces.

You know a thing that is very bad about this? This is the anti-trans playbook being played against women. Start with 'has the x movement failed the people it's supposed to help', then infantilize them, then make the case they can't be responsible for their own choices, then take their rights away

One reason the NYT has burned its credibility with trans people is that they still cite the discredited Cass report in reporting on trans healthcare. Never the German, Utah, or other systematic reviews supporting care. They also never provide the political context behind restrictions in care.

The Epstein Files, everybody!

U.S. pals: Do. Not. Donate. To. Salvation. Army. There are better charities out there. Much better.

I have been dubbed the Director of Cheer because they can't seem to stop me

Cat in her element

According to a new study, members of Congressional leadership perform 47% better in stock market trades than their rank-and-file peers, thanks to access to nonpublic information. Today would be a great day to ban ALL elected officials from trading stock, don't you think?

Amazon announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year. UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year. Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M. This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year. That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare. Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year. Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity. Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall. It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford. It’s about priorities.

Happy Halloween! I'm the cheshire cat this year

Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents. They’ve had their necks kneeled on. They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear. At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them.

ICE is now the 13th largest military in the world on its own. Never ever accept the lie we cannot pay for Universal Healthcare.

Wake up, babe, the least subtle visual metaphor in history just dropped
