what is the best fund to support children or seperated families taken by ICE?

Just spoke with my CDC sources: a new COVID-19 variant, NB.1.8.1, is spreading across Louisiana, NYC, LA, DC, Colorado, and more. It's also fueling surges in China, Hong Kong, and other parts of Asia.

Saw this really intense sunset the other day

Fuck this, absolutely fuck this, everyone who loves audiobooks loves their favourite narrators because they are great at their jobs and interpreting the author's words and they make the experience what it is www.theguardian.com/books/2025/m...

The first domino falls! Today Lehigh County, Pennsylvania became the first US pension fund to suspend new Tesla purchases in its actively managed funds 👏🍸🎉 #teslatakedown substack.com/home/post/p-...

David Brooks is Communist Manifesto posting, Harvard is antifascist now, Bill Kristol is a Bernie Bro now, SCOTUS is releasing emergency panic judgments, Frank fucking Luntz is in the NYT today extolling the virtues of empathy. The era of Finding Out is a trip

i need people to understand "death of the author" means the author can't dictate what you take away from the text, not that you're not complicit in what they do with the profit they make from you buying it in the first place

fuck terfs

Also, if it wasn’t clear, this isn’t some sappy “just hang on” kitten clawing for the last scraps of its life on an office motivational poster post, this is a direct rebuke of Democratic elected officials who think a strongly worded statement is the extent of their power. Fuck you, go do something.

I’ve taught 20 yrs of students Constitutional rights like due process & equal protection. Now, I’d be lying to them to say these laws, literally written into our Constitution, are followed. These basic rights prohibit shipping people off with no due process. All Americans should be outraged.

The Democrats who seek to play ball with the would be dictator in the White House and his team are disqualified as leaders of the party. Now and always. Period. Those who are candidates again must be challenged and defeated. For the country’s sake. There can be no compromises with tyranny.

what they said ⬇️

More journalists need to talk about this the way Japanese articles do

YOU CANNOT GRIND THE BONES OF YOUR ENEMIES INTO DUST TOMORROW IF YOU DO NOT TAKE YOUR MEDICATIONS.

1) Do something autocratic 2) Wait to see how people react 3) If they don't push back hard enough, carry on 4) If they do push back hard enough, "pause" it 5) Illegally consolidate more power 6) Repeat

Assuming you're not intentionally a transphobe, please just ditch Harry Potter. There's plenty of much, MUCH better-written fantasy made by authors who aren't absolute shit. And if you ARE intentionally a transphobe, kindly either fuck off or educate yourself, whichever you're capable of.

Ohhhhhh.

Just got mine!

PSA: FUCKING LLMS DO NOT HAVE MINDS. THEY JUST PIECE TOGETHER AN APPROPRIATE SEEMING RESPONSE FROM THEIR DATASET BASED ON WHAT EVER YOU SAY TO THEM. THEY DON’T FEEL ANYTHING, THEY DO NOT UNDERSTAND ANYTHING. IT’S BASICALLY RNG. IT IS A SOPHISTICATED FUCKING FURBY

A top Democratic congressman goes off during a DOGE hearing and calls out Elon for trying to cut Social Security. More of this please.

I find it so egregious that Pinterest uses imagery on its site to train GenAi models. Imagery they do not own, and for the most part, is uploaded by third party users without the consent of creators. GenAi industries depend on exploitation to function and it’s gross futurism.com/pinterest-da...

I've had people come up to me at conventions saying they found my work through Pinterest (I've never posted there) and while I haven't minded people sharing my work there in the past please uh, do not do that going forward (for me or any other creator). This sucks.

If Tesla's stock drops far enough, the bank loans Elon took out to buy Twitter lose their collateral and get called back immediately. Which is why Elon is panicking, Trump is panicking, and their shadow backers are all panicking.

Elon is a despicable monster who deserves every bit of our loathing, but we can never forget it’s Trump who gave him this power. Wrath can have multiple targets.

The one time I am 99.99% sure I encountered cop agent provocateurs, it was at the Floyd uprisings and it was a couple strangely normie looking white women who told us we needed to change direction to save folks from arrest at a different location, then left us straight into a police trap.

We’re just 43 days out from the FIRST congressional election of 2025! Republicans control Congress by just ONE VOTE. When I’m elected, I’ll deadlock the House and put a real check on Trump. But I need your help. Chip in $15 to help me cross the finish line. 👇 secure.actblue.com/donate/weil-...

Yes. If DHS can barge in, say your visa was revoked, be told you have a green card, say it's revoked too, and then disappear you so that neither your lawyer nor your family can find you, then all the guardrails are gone. There is no policy, practice, or law protecting anyone.

You want events? We've got events! 📢 GET OUT THE VOTE! 🎉 Join me, your Democratic nominee for Congress, at Full Moon Saloon in Daytona for a night of community, conversation, and action! 🗳️💙 📍 Full Moon Saloon, Daytona 📅 Thursday, March 20 ⏰ 3 PM - 11 PM EDT ✅ FREE event for registered voters 1/2

I was told by democrats that things like this couldnt be done single handedly and we were rude for assuming they could

I’ve never once been afraid of or harmed or felt threatened by a trans person (or any other LGBTQIA+ person for that matter). I have however been intimidated, belittled by, afraid of, and assaulted by white men. That’s right, men, plural. Women’s rights are not threatened by LGBTQIA+ people.

Vote blue, but vote new.

When Donald Trump threatens student protests, consider why: throughout modern history, student movements have repeatedly been the catalyst that toppled dictatorships. Authoritarian leaders fear campus activism precisely because it works. Below is a list of 36 student-led pro-democracy movements.🧵

Decoruuuuuuuum… 🧟‍♂️ Anyway, called Al Green’s office today and thanked him for standing up for the truth and showing he had a spine (versus a cute lil auction paddle 🙄).

Just because your personal freedoms are being threatened for the first time, doesn’t mean that this is the first time personal freedoms have been threatened. Behaving in this manner undermines relationships with individuals & groups that have been living with this palpable fear for generations.

Start with the special elections this year! Phone bank, donate if you’re able to, write postcards to voters. These 3 seats, if flipped, can put the Dems back in control of the House

DHS quietly eliminates ban on surveillance based on sexual orientation and gender identity

Day 1 on the left. Day 2 on the right. Don't let anyone tell you that pushback is pointless. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202... www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

I’m just saying, the Army Chorus singing a song about the French Revolution in this White House is a threat. In the best way. Choirs are political and pointed. Always have been.

Maybe corny but it was helpful for me to hear Henry Rollins saying "this is not time to be dismayed, this is punk rock time, this is what Joe Strummer trained you for... You can be thunderous in your own life, to the eight people around you. That rubs off... Goodness is viral"

Photography is a powerful tool for science! Scientists, show us some of your photos!

When my Dad was over at Christmas he told me that in the town he grew up in, to this day, which pub you go to drink in is still defined by which side of the Miners Strike you were on in 84/85. Just a quick reminder that you don't have to forgive or forget, the people who betray you and your class.
