they are trying to kill every trans kid in America when these rules actually come out, they will be open for public comment and all of us need to flood submissions, call our reps, make noise, everything including the kitchen sink unconscionable evil

Never in my life did I think I would see this from a mayor to police: “We would like the Aurora Police Department to play a historic role in defending the United States of America, and our city against fascism. We have a unique opportunity to do something different….”

I cannot stress enough that tear gas is a chemical weapon that is literally BANNED by an international agreement from being used in WAR. But apparently it’s fair game to use against your own fucking people.

If someone wrote this dystopia, people would have laughed and said “that would never happen in real life.”

This is Jim Crow shit.

"the perfect plate doesn't exist" The fact a woman drives this Subaru in Oregon makes it the perfect storm of Iconic

Running this back because it's two minutes of authentic and weird joy for your Friday morning.

PSA: there are full episodes of Reading Rainbow on YouTube for free. Including the first episode with new host Mychal the Librarian. Give some love to free, public education resources. We need these. youtu.be/gHAIjSkmnYI?...

This is much, much more significant than the Comey indictment but has gotten like 0.1% of the media coverage

i think america would be a better place if everyone just stopped paying attention to politico til they went out of business. there’s no “autism problem” just like there’s no “trans debate.” both of those things are eugenics. both questions are really “should these subhumans be allowed to exist?”

Looking at RFK's recent moves, including an attack on the hepatitis B vaccine and on painkillers for pregnant women. The common theme: That all children's health problems are due to "bad" mothers. This isn't about making kids healthy. It's misogyny. www.salon.com/2025/09/22/r...

Why read past headlines: I explore the new "MAHA report," the Tylenol nonsense and the hateful rhetoric around the hepatitis B vaccine. Taken together, it's clear that the MAHA movement thinks mothers are the main, if not sole, reason children get sick. www.salon.com/2025/09/22/r...

All of this has happened before and it will happen again. www.nytimes.com/1939/02/04/a...

I don’t know how to explain to people how everything we have learned as humans in the last like 200 years is all going in the trash right now.

My new shirt design is a very serious PSA that I was asked to make, because apparently a lot of people don't know. roryblank.bigcartel.com

Starting November 1st, New Mexico will become the first state to offer free universal childcare to all its residents. It's expected to save families over $12,000 per child annually. This is a huge step forward — and a reminder that we have the power to fix the system.

Sometimes the future is the fun kind of absurd

At some point, the white community is going to have to do something about the high rates of crime in white neighborhoods.

people are always telling me that we just have to wait for olds to die off & then everything will be fine. i usually respond with, "the woman who lied about emmett till whistling & got him lynched was 21. the murderers were 24 & 35. there's more to do than wait.” there will always be hitler youth.

Exclusive: Jeffrey Epstein’s estate has given Congress a copy of the 2003 birthday book, including the letter with Trump’s signature that he has said doesn’t exist.

I really resent my tax dollars being spent on this

RFK Jr’s HHS endorsed religious exemptions for vaccines. We KNOW what will happen. 1991, Philadelphia. 2 fundamentalist churches that reject vaccines & medical care have schools filled with unvaccinated kids. Measles rips through the school & neighborhoods. 1/

“Religious exemption” is a fallacy used by anti-vaccine activists to refuse vaccination. What will happen? The same thing that always does. Diseases spread. Communities get sick. People die. 3/

Ride the Wayback Machine to disease control in the 1990s. History can teach if minds are open to study. We have vaccines for a lot of good reasons.

Weaponized unreality was already eroding any kind of confidence we have in what we can know to be true on the ground. These escalations are going to literally kill people and alter social reality far into the future. the information environment as an openly authoritarian entity is only beginning.

CNN: DOJ is trying to find ways to ban trans people from owning guns. If you want to defend yourself with legal gun ownership,you may want to look into it sooner rather than later. edition.cnn.com/2025/09/04/p...

It's not a matter of intellect, it's a lack of critical thinking education paired with weaponized disinformation by eugenicists. The issue with characterizing this stuff as "d*mb" isn't just the ableism, but also the fact that it misses root causes.

Just noting that these sprays are already available in pharmacies, over the counter.

This is important. I needed this. Deep breaths.

Between this, the state sanctioned hack, and the abundance of deep fake tech I need everyone to be a lot more paranoid and incredulous. Just as a baseline. And not just in the direction of Black and brown and or poor people either.

understand that when they begin to classify whole types of people as criminal by their very nature - immigrants, trans folks - it never stops. there is no bottom. who will be next? because you need to understand that there is ALWAYS a "next"

This is worse. You get that this is worse, right? Like this isn’t better. The solution to your death robot is turning off the death robot, not making it a fucking cop. But honestly, extremely on brand.

OMG, this is an actual vaccine, not PrEP!!!

Trump just hung a giant portrait of himself over the Department of Labor building, claiming he puts "American Workers First." Take it from a former Secretary of Labor: Donald Trump doesn't give a shit about working people. https://youtu.be/ARL5VvYJUe8?feature=shared

And the white world lost its mind, never for it to be found again. Still, worth it. Liberté ou la Mort!!

If you've ever questioned why I don't calm down, plz know I'm always calm However, I'm never NOT angry. To paraphrase James Baldwin, to be Black and relatively aware in the US is to be in a constant rage. Learning real history made me have extremely short patience for ignorance/racism.

"Robots" is a buckwild animated movie because it will be like "haha the Robin Williams robot does the armpit farts" and then every character will stop and look directly at the audience and say "corporatism wants to turn undesirables into raw material and the only way to stop it is violence"

Ahhhh so cuuuuute! I'm guessing this teeny squid is TS-approved.

I know it has been said many times, but controlling education and public information is fascism 101 apple.news/A6xSTDR1hS0C...

It is insane to me that the government can find money to pay ICE agents increasingly larger sums of money, yet teachers have to buy their own pencils.

i love random moments of bluesky community care. her list got totally bought out, over $1500 in supplies for a new teacher in less than an hour. 💜

Facebook is not good, but it has become *essential* for a lot of people, which is a huge issue. If you're in a small town, Facebook is often the only source of news about town government or local events. This makes it hard to ditch Facebook in the same way that people ditched Twitter.

"We've spent a lot of money on the military and now they have nothing to do so we might as well let the president use it domestically to satisfy his own petty grudges" is precisely why the Founders feared a standing army. I mean, it's pretty much fucking verbatim.
