My child is upset that they have to wait until Tuesday for tacos.

Local zoning is the way! A lot of these are being stopped or stalled by neighborhood organizing. These warehouses often need to be purchased, permitted, approved for occupancy and specs. Each one of those steps can be interrupted. Ppl are pressuring corps not to sell, counties to deny permits, etc

Finally getting back into the swing of things after the week from hell, and I have a treat for you this #FairyFriday! I absolutely adore this epic photo of Cassie Wanda#FairyFriday!s Morpho gown. The composition and the movement of the dress are so dynamic! Behind the scenes video coming soon. 1/2

"These watered-down ICE policy reforms do not serve as a break from the Democrats’ years-long rightward shift on immigration, but a repackaging of immigration enforcement to maintain the status quo." truthout.org/articles/ref...

This is one of the many many ways that “legal” is becoming “illegal”

I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland. And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.

Behind the scenes video coming soon 👀

This analogy is correct.

Why are people always yelling at The Left, a group almost entirely shut out of public life, including mainstream news outlets. You are mad at people on social media. Get a life

SCOOP: I have the first interview with the 36-year-old South Jersey man whose tearful protest against an ICE raid at a school bus stop has been watched more than 3 million times How a non-political Eagles fan Everyman became the face of ICE resistance My new column www.inquirer.com/columnists/a...

It's not that networks and corporations are afraid of Donald Trump, they're on the same page, the same team. The wealth class that owns our media and our businesses aren't being made to do things against their will, they're willing participants and even directors of ascendant fascism.

this hasn't personally happened to me, but i've seen other artists here talking about it intermittently. so here's an infographic about a handy feature i think a lot of people are overlooking! #artsky #artistsonbsky

It's not enough to tell people to be "outraged." What precisely is it that you want them to DO? This is where so much falls apart and where a number of people fall short. Part of it is that people do not actually know what they want people to do; the other part is that it's DIFFICULT to organize ppl

I know the big thing on "tax billionaires" is "but it's unrealized gains, and those aren't real!!!" Cool, bet. No tax on it. But since it's not real it can't be used as collateral for a loan. You want cash, you have to sell stock and realize the gain.

Also, for the doomers & deactivists out there... I'm making this list not because I expect the current Democratic Party to fight for any of this, but because WE have to decide what WE'RE going to fight for, and we have the biggest chance to remake the party in 2026 than anyone's had in generations.

You have to protect your mental health. No one’s been through anything like this before. Take breaks, try to center yourself. We’re all going through it watching what’s unfolding.

Who does it benefit to speed the pace at which decisions are made and work is produced? by default speed as a value and way of working favors outcomes that are made in haste, and disfavors outcomes that require more thought, relational work, and layers of consent

If you want to know who took your money, it's the people with all the money. And if they can talk you into believing anyone else is to blame, they will keep picking your pockets and purchasing themselves politicians and getting away with it.

There's nobody more conformist than a conservative white dude who fashions himself a nonconformist.

A quick "whoa, really? that's really fucked up, man" from a white dude to another white dude for expressing a conservative opinion is (sadly) one of the most effective ways to change that white dude's behavior. Not usually the underlying beliefs, but the behavior. It gets in their kitchen.

"Our standing rule is: If one of us brings up using GenAI in any of our work, then it's safe to assume we've been assimilated by The Thing and should be burned alive by Kurt Russell," said a game design consultant in the US.

ICE is bad and immigration is good. It's that simple.

fyi every minute of activism you see from me is backed by years of labor managing multiple disabilities and injuries just to keep myself alive and close to functional. I know I'm not doing enough. I don't know how I can do any more.

I wish people understood how much unseen labor goes into every visible ounce of activism and how much labor by so many people towards change is deliberately invisible and never meant to be known

Always remember: When you take the cis out of Christ, you end up with HRT.

I wrote about the "I never want to see a child ever run away from our own government ever again" guy. I think he shows why Trump being a dogshit president temporarily solves many of the Democrats' worst problems with the media. And we have to take advantage of this moment.

Folks have noted that shutting down DHS also means shutting down FEMA. But it's important to remember that Trump already has been fighting to deny $233 million in FEMA funding to blue states. www.ksbw.com/article/judg...

I wasn't planning to post anything special for Valentine's Day but I've seen a lot of my colleagues' cute couples post, so I decide to share some wedding photos! We had a mermaid wedding even though we didn't know I was a mermaid at the time. The venue just felt right!

I would love to have a discussion with Jake Tapper about the history of the term "concentration camp" and its usage. It would do so much good if he would actually address this head on.

If you are still asking how little you can do and still be considered “good,” you are not ready. If you understand that your humanity is incomplete while others are oppressed, and that we get there together or not at all, then welcome. But “allies”? Need not apply.

When you call yourself an “ally,” it tells me something. It tells me you still believe you stand outside the harm. It signals that you see yourself as adjacent to injustice rather than fundamentally shaped by, and benefiting from, the systems, institutions, and policies that create it.
