We need a bigger national spotlight on this building raid, fam. Agents dropped from helicopters onto the roof. Citizens and non-citizens alike were dragged from their homes in the night. People who weren't kidnapped during the raid had their belongings seized after the fact. This is madness.

Pay attention to the language that will be used by much of the media. The Global Sumud Flotilla never entered Israeli waters. They are in international waters attempting to reach Palestinian waters. Israel is once again breaking international law

Had dinner tonight with a friend who goes every day with a bunch of other septuagenarians to be “observers” at the immigration courts. ICE thugs routinely throw them out out of public courtrooms, and then public hallways, and then public waiting rooms as they grab immigrants who did nothing wrong.

WEAR YOUR FAVORITE SHINY THING.

america's awful medical system got tricked by a con artist into giving people high grade narcotics to treat sore elbows so now you have to have a gunshot wound to be given something stronger than tylenol

Be the Mothman you wish to see in the world

New York City, I can see a future with you. And it’s one we can afford. Our new ad just aired during The Golden Bachelor.

If anyone would like to help with my eventual 2nd attempt, I have a ko-fi however, there is absolutely no pressure (I know everyone is also going through it)

Vaccination during pregnancy was associated with lowered maternal risks of COVID infection, stillbirth, preterm birth (including a 34% lower risk of severe preterm birth before 28 weeks), neonatal intensive care admission, & congenital anomalies 1/2

Every few months now I re-read this "Who Goes Nazi?" piece from 1941 and am blown away by how it captures the people we are dealing with 80 years later. harpers.org/archive/1941...

A WARRIOR FEARS NOTHING, NOT EVEN ASKING FOR HELP.

The stunning number of people suggesting citizens simply not pay taxes seem to not realize it is illegal for employers to NOT WITHOLD TAXES FROM YOUR PAYCHECK. Therefore if you get a W-2, you don't have a choice about paying taxes! The money is gone before you have control over it!

from hell’s heart I stab at thee; for hate’s sake I spit my last breath at thee

People in the US won't believe this, but a society requiring people to own a motor vehicle to get anywhere actually gives you LESS freedom than a society where you can safely walk, bike, or feasibly opt to take mass transit. If you're a slave to your car, you're also a slave to your job.

YOU MUST TAKE YOUR MEDICATIONS TO HAVE STRENGTH TO WIN A RIGHTEOUS BATTLE.

The first known use of 'chimpanzee' was in 1738, and it comes from the Kongo dialect word 'chimpenzi.'

I really wanted to insert myself with: “Of course there are rich people in Mexico. Poor people exist because of rich people. That’s, like, how it works.”

Hi! Did you know that you aren’t pronouncing axolotl correctly? Suppression of indigenous languages by the Spanish is one of the Four Wounds of Colonization. This is a small subversion of colonial power you can use! Axolotl is a Nahuatl word, and it sounds like this:

They found 38 unmarked graves of Indigenous children at Immaculate Conception Mission in South Dakota and it didn't make the news outside of Indian Country.

Like Scandinavian...but brown.

The revolution won’t be televised but the treason sure is

As long as the far right shapes public opinion, and mainstream parties follow public opinion, the far right dominates politics, whether in government or not.

I love this writer type who insists they never think about anyone else when they write, as if their fingers are just broken plumbing and their words thesaural leakage. I, at minimum, imagine my narrator, who is always wearing a cape.

Enough breaking news, how about some fixing news.

BATTLE AWAITS. HAVE SOMETHING TO EAT.

I am actually going to go order an honest-to-god dictionary because I feel in this time of fascism it is imperative to believe WORDS MEAN THINGS.

This is your weekly-not-weekly reminder to go give that creator your love a rating, review, or just shout them out on socials! Who knows, you might be the reason they get their next sale! And you will definitely be the reason they have a good day 💕

Because the Deaf community is extremely funny politicians definitely cannot count on a loving and complimentary sign name like this one—it really demonstrates people’s genuine enthusiasm

quick while the government is shut down let’s all switch to metric

Any time people start talking about weakening protections for certain groups I am always reminded of this quote.

HANG UP YOUR FALCHION, TODAY YOU WILL BATTLE THE THOUGHTS THAT WOULD STEAL OUR JOY. AND YOU WILL WIN.

honestly one of my faves so far

LORT!

Good morning. The government is shut down because Trump wants to act like a king and steal from you. Democrats have no obligation to support a budget that funds the destruction of our democracy - and DOUBLES health premiums to fund a tax cut for billionaires.

To be clear, federal research / education funding is supposed to be allocated by government in accordance to specific laws & allocation methods. It's taxpayer-derived funding intended to further national priorities. It's not intended as discretionary funds for executive branch culture-war leverage.

In the debates when they asked NYC Mayoral candidates what living Democrat they admired IIRC Mamdani was the only candidate to pick another mayor and he picked Wu.

Step 1: Acknowledge you're all out of comfortable or convenient options Step 2: Consider their alternatives w/ protecting the most vulnerable and achieving the goal of saving the greatest number of people the most harm as 1st priority Step 3: Collaborate w/ people doing Step 2 or get out the way

This is why we fund scientists to study things like oyster slobber even if you don’t think it sounds important

THEY CLOSED PUBLIC POOLS RATHER THAN SWIM WITH BLACK PEOPLE YOU ARE DEALING WITH THE SAME GROUP OF PEOPLE AS THE FOLKS WHO DID THIS PLEASE WAKE THE FUCK UP

i was invited to a gathering tonight and initially wasn’t gonna go because every extra thing feels like so much these days but i made myself go and i’m so glad i did because it turns out community is so fucking important right now

It’s not a character flaw to be unemployed.

Just saw this comment with regard to Pete Hegseth's love for fun socks. I will tell you why fun socks are bad in a tailored outfit. 🧵

YOU MUST TAKE YOUR MEDICATIONS TO HAVE STRENGTH TO GRIND YOUR ENEMIES' BONES TO DUST.

That's the definition of fascism from Robert Paxton, one of the preeminent historians of the subject, from his book ANATOMY OF FASCISM which came out more than two decades ago.

I cannot think of any other factor of business where "let's not expect immediate results or immediate wins" is an acceptable—let alone laudable—selling point for an expensive, disruptive new technology.
