I hope community organizers can find safe places/events for families to enjoy the holiday.

Two Timothy Snyder fans at the Burbank, CA rally! @timothysnyder.bsky.social

Be safe out there today, friends. If you see anything particularly notable or experience any major issues, contact me on Signal at marisakabas.04

If you are protesting this weekend. Do so peacefully. Do so thoughtfully. Trump is hoping you don’t. He is seeking a reason to crack down harder. Do not give him one. Continue to speak out. Continue to use your voice.

6/ 🧊✈️⚠️ LOS ANGELES‼️ 👉 Creepy White Avelo Jet inbound to Burbank 😬 This all-white 737—which has been used for several deportation flights to Central America—will likely cover for a commercial passenger route out of Burbank 👀

@malar0ne.bsky.social, who is with @scienceimpacts.org, has been tracking the fallout of funding cuts at the health agencies across the country. Their data underpinned this story, about how red states were getting fewer grants reinstated: www.statnews.com/2025/07/03/n...

These mass firings gutting the CDC including the staffs of the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report and the Emerging Infectious Diseases program is so destructive. We need congress to act right fucking now.

1/2 A reminder to anyone who was RIFed. 💯 you do NOT deserve this. Quick tips if you do get a RIF notice: ❌ Do not send a read receipt ❌ Do not respond right away - the union will probably provide language for response ✅ Forward notice to your personal email

Sometimes we need a moment, but if you tune out completely, they win. Fascism doesn’t need your support, just your silence.

This weekend, I vended at a pumpkin patch in a blue stronghold (state/county/district/ neighborhood). A guy with a Turning Point shirt came to my booth. I considered not taking his $. I eventually chose to take it and send it to @democracydocket.com where it will do more good than in his pocket.

Look I don't care what the real reason for these guys backing up was. Right now what millions are seeing is a bunch of armed soldiers retreating from a guy doing pelvic thrusts at them in a frog costume.

Every. Single. Day.

Federal workers are speaking out on how the Trump regime is harming Americans: "We stand here today at a moment of the greatest assault of our lifetimes on our freedoms. The US Constitution is being shredded... We are here to call on Congress to stand up and stop it." youtu.be/uw1KwIBgrCw?...

Mario Guevara faces imminent deportation after being detained by ICE for over 100 days. His crime? Livestreaming a “No Kings” protest. If you were outraged about Jimmy Kimmel, you should be more outraged about Guevara. It’s time to #FreeMario now!

This is extortion. Faculty, students, staff, alumni across the country need to get to their Presidents & Trustees today. Just say no. This blackmail only works if most everyone folds. Capitulation now means the end of American higher education for a generation. www.nytimes.com/2025/10/02/u...

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

"Trump said."

take a look at hud.gov

How do i join this? Any thoughts @miriamanzovin.bsky.social @jsx.bsky.social #jewsky?

My Jael Camping Club should try to have a mixer with them

Way back in the 80s, when I did abortion clinic defense, we would form a barricade 5 people deep across the front of a clinic and use our bodies to form a toothpaste tube to allow patients to enter unharmed while the fundies did everything they could to try to chain the doors shut. Just saying.

It's 2026. Democrats took house & senate. Jasmine Felicia Crockett is Speaker. Trump and Vance are impeached, convicted, & sent into exile in Moscow. Thomas, Gorsuch & Kavanaugh are impeached. Madame President packs the court with Black & Latina women. Abortion & universal healthcare are codified.

Genuine. Factual. Does not shy away from the hard truths. Speaks to Black, Jewish, and marginalized people. Says "abortion" Does it ON THE STREET. Offers solutions. The only time I have ever wished to live in New York is to cast a vote for @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social

Lenacapavir will be life changing for millions of real people. Entire families. This could have been easily managed by existing infrastructure at USAID.

Look, it’s Heroin and Adderall ganging up on Tylenol.

At the Getty Center. #blueskymonday We can do this.

Wasn't just the WGA. Burbank residents came to the studio less than 2 hours after the announcement. There have been Burbank residents out every day since, including today.

an interview with Orwell

Only single cell sequencing of the all these post docs will reveal why

Dam been writing a book about this and she just TikToked it in 90 seconds.

Context: current recommendations are at 12 months. By age 4, kids have been in preschool. Measles cases are going to explode if this happens, and despite the public health alliances in the west and northeast, measles travels on planes.

I know it's frustrating when lawyers point out when something the administration is doing is not legal. But responding with "the law doesn't matter anymore" is really unhelpful and defeatist. Clarifying the law is important because it reminds us not to comply in advance and to resist and take action

Something to consider for next steps: @avac.org @geri4life.bsky.social @nicholasfeustel.com @gregggonsalves.bsky.social @jabarocas.bsky.social @saveaidsresearch.bsky.social

Now that I have your attention. A bunch of Burbank residents got their asses up and to the ABC/Disney gates this evening to protest. On their own. With no organizing. With just a sharpie and a piece of poster board. You don't have to wait for anyone else.

The union representing the musicians from Jimmy Kimmel’s band releases a statement calling the FCC’s pressure on Disney “state censorship.”

We don't have creeping fascism. We have the malevolent swarm of zombie sheep fascism.

What in the Madeline Kahn is this shit?

And that's a wrap! Thank you to the 70+ speakers, the thousands who participated, the countless organizers & the #HIV community who came together to showcase decades of US investment in #HIVresearch: what it has achieved and what’s now at risk. Stay tuned for recordings. #saveaidsresearch

New podcast just dropped with our own @jonshaffer.bsky.social talking about public health organizing. You can check it out here!

two ways you can help protect public health next: - talking about the hearing and what the CDC officials said during it with the folks in your life who are not on here - call your reps and senators. demand they continue using all their tools to investigate RFK Jr. cap switchboard: (202) 224-3121

What’s the human cost of destroying USAID? 🚫 2.3 million people will lose access to life-saving HIV treatment through PEPFAR 🚫 1.5 million orphans & vulnerable children will lose support services 🚫 ~390K people wont have access to PrEP Despicable
