It's kinda amusing that the worst part of US politics is the South, and the worst part of UK politics is England, which is also south

the fact that israel is straight up raping and torturing flotilla activists from all over the world and it’s not an international crisis it’s not putting a stop to anything, what is going ON

Our federal trial for protesting ICE is on Tuesday. Win or lose, we’re facing up to $250k in legal fees. That’s why this Saturday, we’re having a 12-hr stream-a-thon! Join us 5/23 from 10am-10pm CT to help raise the remaining legal costs and WIN this case: twitch.tv/katabughazaleh

I keep thinking about my former coworker Janet, a 65 year old Black woman. On Saturday she wasn’t feeling well, so bad, that she went to the hospital. The doctor sent her home. She died. On Saturday. After being at the hospital and seeing a doctor. Racial bias in medical care continues to be real

Today is Nakba Day. The ethnic cleansing of Palestine began 78 years ago today and it has never stopped.

Finished reading The Storm Before the Storm by @MikeDuncan.bsky.social Enjoyed it very much. It's a look at the last century of the Roman Republic, before the Caesars wrested full control from the Senate and Assembly. Mike keeps the pace steady, and easy to keep track of. Highly recommend!

You can order pills from overseas clinics and mutual aid groups. *Possessing* mifepristone is not a crime (except in Louisiana). I'm not saying I have some but I am saying if you are someone who can get pregnant or knows people who can, order some now. www.plancpills.org

One thing I miss about not being on a bunch of meds, is that I didn't have to pee all the time

With so much awful news, here is something to brighten your day:

Batman speaking the truth. #IsraelIsATerroristState

Sometimes I really miss the monoculture. Yesterday I found out that Amazon relaunched #AmericanGladiators. I have heard nothing about that ahead of time, and I grew up loving that show, even when it was just reruns!

We were featured in an @edhrec article??? WE WERE FT IN AN EDHREC ARTICLE! Get to know us, and other amazing creators in the MTG space in the Community Corner! edhrec.com/articles/com...

Feeling called out. #gamerthings

Peter Magyar confirmed that Szijjarto, Orbán's FM, has barricaded himself with some of his closest colleagues and is shredding documents related to the sanctions on Russia any other evidence of treason.

Rapists shouldn’t run for office no matter what party they belong to

Wishing you and yours a very merry Confederate Surrender Day.

I'm gonna say that senators and representatives posting on social media that the madness has to stop is pretty weak sauce. These are people who, unlike the rest of us, can actually DO something to stop the madness. So maybe put down your phones and get to work?

This is a no-brainer.

Simple truths.

What’s next:

in 2016 a group of strangers in Kazakhstan saved a dog from drowning by forming a human chain to reach him. they just unveiled a statue commemorating the event and I'm genuinely about to start sobbing

I strongly remain of the opinion that if you distribute a game via Steam and include a launcher, you are the actual devil. I don't care what online features your shit has, launchers shouldn't launch launchers. Not even for the excuse of "verifying ownership". Steam literally does that already. 😡

Happy Birthday to Sister Rosetta Tharpe, and a massive thank you to her for inventing rock and roll She was born on March 20th, 1915

LESBIAN WHO JUST HEARD THE PHRASE “GOLD STAR MILITARY FAMILY”: So the whole family has only ever slept with soldiers…?

Thank you to everyone who supported this campaign. Together we were able to do things never seen in American politics, to set a new standard from what we should expect from the people who try to represent us. What we built matters, regardless of the outcome. And the work isn’t over.

A lot of killjoys on Bluesky today

HOLY SHIT. A dark money group, hidden behind a bunch of shell companies, is paying influencers thousands of dollars PER POST to attack @katmabu.bsky.social on social media a month before her election. Thank you to the people who declined the money and went forward with this. So who's behind this?

There are reports of ICE activity on the north side of Chicago happening now. Please share so people in the area can be aware and take precautions. If you’re in the area please come by our office at 7016 N Clark St for ICE whistles. We protect each other. Chinga la migra.

The first Monday after the spring Daylight Savings time change should be counted as automatic overtime

Statement from Jasmine Crockett.

I'd be more inclined to believe that Graham Platner is merely a dumbass if he was making different kinds of "mistakes" instead of one very specific type of "mistake" over and over

A new Super PAC, "Chicago Progressive Partnership," just jumped into #IL09, opposing Kat Abughazaleh. Filings show they’re using the same vendors as AIPAC.

I will ALWAYS stand alongside our trans community. Period. You will be protected and respected, and when we pass universal healtcare, I will make it my personal mission to guarantee gender affirming care in included. No elected bigot in any state house has the right to tell you who are you.

Thanks everybody great posts today. We did some posts and a bunch of people read em and that’s a job well done. That’s the real shit. That’s what we wake up for every day. Nobody gives a shit about a post until they do. Lotta things are like that. Good posting everybody. Got those posts out there

Heated Rivalry (2025)

Roses are red Violets are nice Nazis are bad Abolish ICE

Not a single one of ID representatives can articulate how women are supposed to vote in the election. "Read the SAVE Act to find out what documentation is accepted" Guess what? Marriage certs are not one of the docs. HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO VOTE?

@steveinskeep.bsky.social You okay man? You were sounding kinda defeated in your interview with Sen Klobuchar on Morning Edition this morning

We're so proud to announce our newest endorsement: @katmabu.bsky.social in #IL09. Kat has spent her career doing what so many voters are desperate to see the Democratic Party do: fight back against Republican extremism and fight for everyday people. Let's give AIPAC another loss.

McGregor was found liable for sexual assault in 2024 and the jury ordered him to pay the victim $257,000. He lost all his appeals.

Just found out that I got screwed out of the new overtime tax exemption in Trump's Big Beautiful Bill. I'm a rural mailman, and even though we can get time & a half pay when we work our day off, that doesn't count as overtime. According to our contract, overtime is past 12 hrs / day. That blows

Reminder: you have less than a month to watch "She-ra and the Princesses of Power" on Netflix before they remove it forever on Feb 20 for no god damn reason. Go enjoy 52 of the best half-hours of TV made in the past decade & get whatever joy, laughter, and hope you can from them while you still can.
