Anyone who votes to end birthright citizenship as it is understood now, in defiance of clear law and the tradition they claim to value? They are voting to create a permanent underclass of rightness, stateless people in the United States. They are voting to bring back slavery.

There is no measured way to say what I am about to say. If the Supreme Court agrees with the Trump administration to end birthright citizenship, we must end this current Supreme Court. I do not say this lightly.

Violet Affleck is to the Covid movement what Greta Thunberg is to climate. Both represent the next generation, are articulate, focused, & grounded in science. That scares people. And there's a gendered aspect to all the vitriol they face

LOL "I spoke to the governor, she was very nice. But I said, 'Well wait a minute, am I watching things on television that are different from what's happening? My people tell me different.' They are literally attacking and there are fires all over the place... www.kgw.com/article/news...

Okatsuka posted the censorship rules for the controversial comedy festival, noting how many "You can’t say anything anymore!" comedians have signed on. www.avclub.com/riyadh-comed...

It is not appropriate to call fascists "fascist" until a secret moment where they are fascist ENOUGH for the self-appointed civility police And then once we hit that secret moment, the ACTUAL police will arrest you for saying it It's almost as if we're just never allowed to call fascists "fascist"

Please, if you have the privilege of not being an obvious and immediate target for state violence... Call them fascists, loudly, ESPECIALLY right now. Call yourself an antifascist, loudly, ESPECIALLY right now. We all need to be Spartacus on this one.

There appears to be a resurgence of public health units doing, I dare say, really good reality-based public health! They even say COVID…let’s give them some love!

Dear all of publishing: i need you to put the translator's name on the cover as well because I do not trust, at this point, that it wasn't google.

Abolish ICE. Now. www.newsweek.com/ice-detentio...

I sure wish academics were as concerned about eugenics as they are about chatgpt🥴

This is kinda incredible that renters from multiple units in a realtor's portfolio are organizing for tenants' rights.

Imagine living in a country as diverse as this one and hating it. Weird stuff.

Little Free Anti-ICE Libraries: yesterday multiple people were abducted by ICE in my Chicago neighborhood (Avondale). This morning I added 40 ICE alert whistles to three different LFLs, including one box that is about a block from one of the kidnappings. I have ordered 700 whistles.

My best advice for parents re: harmful content: show genuine interest in the stuff your kid is watching and doing online. Let them talk your ear off about Minecraft and Roblox and the funny video they just watched. Make them feel excited to share with you, vs making them feel ashamed or judged

BREAKING: The FBI has fired agents photographed kneeling during a 2020 racial justice protest that followed the death of George Floyd, AP sources say.

For anyone not in Alberta or not paying attention, girls playing sports in school now have to prove they were born female to play sports. And can be challenged by anyone at anytime and must prove they are female to keep playing. This doesn’t apply to boys. What a dystopian hellscape

Scoop: Trump lost the legal battle over halting the offshore Revolution Wind project after Orsted, its developer, brought reams of evidence to court alleging the government was lying about military security concerns. It’s a sign truth can empower companies Trump targets. Via @heatmap.news

Really important topic. It’s a great day to donate to @thesicktimes.org. Nowhere else is gathering this critical information for people who have Long Covid—or anyone who might get it, which a new NIH incidence study says is at least 1 in 20 people who get Covid.

Eliminate the phrase “just a bug” from your lexicon. Stop diminishing illness. Colds can kill. The fact that they don’t frequently is lucky for us. We are learning so much more about disease and more and more we are finding you don’t even have to have had a bad case to activate postviral stuff.

I had hoped COVID would increase awareness of postviral illness, but instead just about everyone went into denial and now we’re just straight up disabling kids with our insistence that there’s no pandemic in Ba Sing Se.

The superintendent they just kidnapped is a former Olympic athlete who runs footraces with the kids from his schools while wearing a maroon suit and a bowtie. This is quite simply about the people in power feeling threatened by Black excellence.

This is so brilliant. It's a concrete action with immediate benefits that can be performed incrementally

"In some places, French postal workers now pick up prescriptions, return library books, and deliver flowers. Last year, only twenty eight per cent of La Poste’s revenue came from sending mail." Services can evolve in positive ways to meet new and growing needs.

Hi Internet! I'm Drew and THIS IS MY FACE. If this GIF has ever brought you joy in the past, I humbly ask you to consider making a donation to the National MS Society. It would mean a lot to me and to those I know affected by the disease! Donate at blinkingguy.com

Mass walkout at the UN General Assembly during war criminal Netanyahu’s speech.

UNITED NATIONS (AP) — Dozens of delegates from multiple nations walk out of UN hall as Israeli prime minister prepares to speak.

Assata Shakur has "died in Havana, Cuba, as a result of health conditions and her advanced age." She was 78.

the post office is a public service. it doesn’t need to make money. public transit doesn’t need to make money. the library doesn’t need to make money. some things exist for the public good and we desperately need lawmakers to stop thinking about them in terms of capitalism. these are not businesses.

WOW People are going to die. Insulin and so many other drugs were already too expensive for many people.

Still waiting for abled people to think about how equating "masked" with "nefarious" is failing to protect all of us and succeeding in criminalizing disabled people. Mask bans were the weapons of fascists first.

Me: forever mad about the FBI’s surveillance, propaganda, violent work to destroy everyone from Du Bois to BLM Also me: people need to understand what is happening to Comey is bad, big bad. It’s the both/and. Sometimes I think the hardest work for educators and media is to explain nuance/context

Your reminder that they cannot arrest millions of people no matter how hard they try. They lack the infrastructure, they lack the personnel, and the economy would straight-up collapse They are going to try to scare us by making examples out of a few people, and our job is to not fall for it

Republicans can’t win on their policies, so they are trying to dodge accountability by rewriting the rules. These lawmakers are going out of their way to silence the will of the people and deliberately undermine our democracy.

Ohio is the only state that is *constitutionally required* to redraw their congressional map this year. Before the first Sep. 30 deadline, pledge to attend a public hearing and share your story — because your silence is what they’re counting on. ➡️ act.redistrictingaction.org/a/oh-pledge2...

The White House is continuing to pressure more states to gerrymander their congressional maps because they are afraid of voters holding them accountable for their unpopular policies. This is a decisive moment for our democracy. Take action to fight back against this power grab. ⬇️

BREAKING: Starbucks just announced a $1 billion restructuring and will close 59 unionized stores — nearly 10% of union locations. It includes the Roastery in Seattle, one of its busiest shops. CEO Brian Niccol made $100 million in four months last year.

It's not a matter of autistic people being the only people who need things, while you are a bastion of calm independence. Your needs get met as a matter of course because the system is designed for you. I am asking for a fraction of that energy.

If I could get non-autistic people to understand one thing, it wouldn't be that I have support needs. It would be that YOU have support needs.

you won't believe what's saving rural towns HINT: IT'S SOCIALISM. SOCIALISM IS SAVING RURAL TOWNS. AND THEY LOVE IT. THEY CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF THE SOCIALISM. A SIGNIFICANT PERCENTAGE OF THEM VOTED FOR SOCIALISM. getpocket.com/explore/item...

Even for someone like me, you can’t help getting numb, sometimes. There are too many crises from this second Trump administration, even if each of them are uniquely awful in its own right The DOJ - Soros news today is more than a five alarm firm. This is a staggering escalation and the White House…

These are crimes. DOGE affiliates committed crimes. They stole our information.

Ryan Walters is resigning. Good riddance. Oklahoma's Christian Nationalist superintendent is leaving public schools behind… to lead a group dedicated to destroying teachers’ unions. www.friendlyatheist.com/p/ryan-walte...

Oklahoma School Superintendent Ryan Walters is demanding that EVERY public school have a Turning Point USA Chapter. This PRIVATELY FUNDED organization (with a 60 MILLION $ annual budget) would also receive STATE FUNDS if chapters were installed. We've seen this before; it was called the Hitler Youth

I think so often about @greatdismal.bsky.social’s idea that the future is here but unevenly distributed new provider of mine lists LC on an intake form & works to treat symptoms “as the world learns more” and I know this is an early sign of change to come

It’s gone so quickly from ‘boat people’ to all immigrants. So quickly from ‘I don’t mind if they come here legally and pay taxes’ to ‘actually it’s anyone foreign’. We are living in the ‘first they came for’ poem. All to give the population a scapegoat so the super rich can hoard yet more wealth.

Even back in the 70s and 80s when I could be hassled by the police for walking while trans, no one ever tried to stop me pissing in the Ladies or tried to make me change into my swimsuit among men. There is no dignity or respect involved in taking away rights I have exercised freely for forty years

I have just learned that autistic people who ask questions because of curiosity and seeking clarification are viewed as antagonistic and argumentative and that explains so many interactions that have ended poorly in my life
