We can’t push ourselves the way non disabled people can. Our bodies NEED more rest. Pushing only leads to setbacks, further illness and worst of all - a reduction in baseline. Baseline is everything when you’re chronically ill. It must be protected at all costs /7

Bhattacharya is one of the architects of a failed herd immunity strategy reliant on mass infection, arguing against infection controls, including vaccines. Although not explicitly anti-vax, Bhattacharya has cast doubt on the necessity/safety of vaccinating young folks + made allies of anti-vaxxers.

Thank God Merrick Garland waited nearly 2 years to appoint Jack Smith because, after all, nothing is more important than preventing the optics of politicization.

Great thread that leads to me charging $30 for a caprese salad in a restaurant to maintain margins, & not having a workforce to serve it because the immigration system will be even more broken than it is now.

Anyone who's ever loved a cat gets this. Instant follow.

Gas prices up, car prices up, computer prices up…if only Trump voters thought to google what tariffs are before they voted him in.

The irony is here is that this fake department has its sites on NPR

I think it’s pretty clear to Trump

lol China's state media is sad about Bluesky because it's not an easy propaganda distribution channel like X (and Facebook) www.semafor.com/article/11/2...

This is the way …..

If you still have a Twitter or threads account, start encouraging more people to join Blue Sky, especially if you are European. Twitter (X) is being used to manipulate elections globally and suppress information. Post at least once a day, encouraging others to join. #bluesky

Every single time. UBI works *and* it saves money. But no, we can't do this because we hate poor people so much that we would rather waste money than alleviate any suffering.

What are some accessible Infosec & Opsec resources that activists, journalists, and organizers can turn to in preparation for the Trump admin? Preparing for a fascist regime can feel scary and paralyzing. This seems like an area where people can take control w/ concrete steps. Please share below 👇🏽

Everytime someone calls Trump “President Donald J. Trump” is like reaffirmation that this is the cultiest cult to ever cult

So here’s the update. The billionaire owner of the Guardian preparing to get rid of a core part of the news org + 100 journalists. If you’re a Guardian or Observer reader, please share this. The need for a strong, free & independent press couldn’t be greater. Yet, here it is.

Agreed.

I have been in the hospital with a small bowel obstruction since Sunday. There is a critical shortage of IV fluids in th US. They just stopped my fluids. I still have an NGT in and am unable to eat or drink anything. My NGY output is still significant. As a former nurse I don't feel safe.

33-year-old former far-right cable anchor Natalie Harp may be the most important person in America that you’ve never heard of. She controls all the online information flow to… Donald Trump. Literally.

We do legal backwards in America. So damn wrong! The highest ranking person our Govt should be held to the HIGHEST scrutiny, and be MOST accountable for their abuse of power. Why do we do this the other way around?!?! It’s like our lawmakers want Democracy to fail. 🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️

One thing that is glaringly obvious to anyone paying attention: The institutional media is being purchased and controlled by American oligarchs, and as such, can no longer be relied upon to carry out it's responsibility as the 4th estate.

THIS!!!!

This looks familiar right? All they do is lie. It's incredible how they all tell the same lies. Disgusting ppl

Lists are a trust thing. And i bet some right wingers will create fake lists that include people on the left. People should be aware of that.

Thank you Lauren!

Always remember that a large amount of people wanted to negotiate with Hitler 'for peace' long after Germany started eating its neighbours. When the French collaborators negotiated they nearly lost all of France to the Nazis. Negotiation can only happen after the invader has been pushed back home.

The fact that this is on the front page of @democracydocket.com but not covered in most of the legacy media at all tells you what you need to know about the priorities of each. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

100%. It's a simple, elegant plan for Elon and his cronies: Step 1: gut the federal workforce Step 2: secure a zillion dollars in extra contracts to perform all the functions you just gutted at a massive markup

##POTUS #ERANow Whitehouse.gov/contact Ask POTUS to publish the ERA. It’s already been ratified by 2/3 of the states. The only thing keeping it from being a constitutional amendment is a technicality. Don’t let a arbitrary expiration date stop ERA. We must enshrine women’s rights

When MAGA left other social media platforms for Parlor and Truth Social, people on the left were not outraged by it. We thought it was funny. But right-wingers do seem upset, insulted, and even abandoned because we have left Xitter for a safer, more user-friendly experience. Why?

Yes. @indivisibleguide.bsky.social brings the 🔥

“Overnight political conversion” - she had a psychotic break during the pandemic lockdowns. The NPR I once loved is just a skin suit being worn by centrists.

🧵 Thanks to @jamellebouie.net for highlighting Frederick Douglass's "Lessons of the Hour." It is indeed a must read, but I would suggest that Douglass's last great speech was an address to school children a few months later on September 3, 1894. Douglass traveled... 🗃️ www.nytimes.com/2024/11/23/o...

Trump’s Treasury Secretary nominee, billionaire and former George Soros money manager Scott Bessent, managed a hedge fund where he lost 90% of the $6 billion of assets entrusted to him.

A respectful dissent. Yes, much of politics is about the feels, but there’s also a need for voters’ ability (or their willingness) to step outside the shadow of their expectations. Kamala called on us as a nation to do that, with qualifications, courage and joy. We dropped the ball, not Kamala. 1/

THEY ARE CALLED SKEETS.

What’s bankrupting the US is a lack of tax revenue but we are all going to get very sick of hearing how it’s the “non-productive” members of society who are doing all the damage over the next year until they pass the next tax cut aimed at the rich.

Optimist: the cup is half full Pessimist: the cup is half empty Librarian: sir, we can’t allow you to place cups of your own piss on the shelves in the religion section.

I will never get over how the white dude "white supremacy researcher" scene uniformly turned up its nose at the idea that misogyny was a core component of US white supremacist fascism. And then white supremacists went & used misogyny to win a presidential election and nominate a cabinet of rapists.

This is exactly right. Elon fooled lots of people into thinking that his acquisition of Twitter was about protecting free speech—it was always about reengineering a public square into a reactionary echo chamber. Which is why he’s flirting with running the same play again with MSNBC.

Someone put it into words. 🎯👇👇

As I said in 2020, none of the weird crap people are claiming happened, happened. The election, while less than desirable in terms of results, was legit. Let's focus on the things we can do something about and not race down a rabbit hole of conspiracy theories.
