please understand that getting covid every year because you don’t want to mask anymore is melting your brain

Let me add since we are STILL IN A GLOBAL PANDEMIC that wearing masks not only protects you from a wide variety of airborne pathogens but *also* disrupts facial recognition software it is, individually and collectively, for health and security, a good habit

the west wing is less realistic than battlestar galactica NEXT QUESTION

This overstates the MLK case as his nonviolent strategy relied on the southern whites seeing Black intrusions into white spaces as a profound act of violence which they reacted against. This reaction disrupted business as usual snd enabled people to see injustice. This did NOT work in the north.

There is real rising antisemitism in the US right now, including on the left, as even left-wing Jews will tell you. Meanwhile, this editorial spends most of its time complaining about Democrats voting to block weapon sales to Israel, which is not antisemitism. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/10/o...

Extremely worth noting - the Black Zine Fair was a masks-required event! And hundreds of folks came and wore masks and had a great time! This is a doable thing, y'all!

The Times can fuck off with this framing. You will pull my antidepressants and antianxiety meds from my cold dead hands. Because without them, I will be, in fact, dead. Just like if I stopped taking my insulin I'd be dead, although I'm sure this evil man thinks yoga could cure that as well.

Going to a May Day protest? Protect yourself and others by wearing a high quality (KN95/KF94 or better) mask.

It’s my birthday and I am once again doing my matching campaign of $340! Somebody already matched $340 for Crips for eSims but you can still donate $3.4, $34, $340, or more! :) Email screenshots to cripsforesimsforgaza[at]gmail[dot]com. chuffed.org/project/crip...

At the same time, Biden publicly said “the pandemic is over” even as Americans continued to die from COVID & develop Long COVID. Covid misinfo is a two-party problem

how we gonna talk about revolution and you won't wear a mask

is this the school-to-prison pipeline i hear so much about?

I love disabled people so much. How lucky am I to have found such a great community here in Chicago.

🧵 Some updates on @gazasupporthub.com: - Since we published 411 links from Molly Shah's original campaign masterthread, 41 fundraiser links have broken. 10% of the campaigns on the site. - With Molly gone, finding updated links / notifying folks the OG links are broken is much harder.

e-Bikes are also remarkable mobility devices. I used to walk everywhere. I can't do that any more or ride a regular bike. But I jump on an e-Bike and I can successfully get around without a car. It is like magic.

If he says “covid is over” and YOU are saying and acting like covid is over, then you agree with RFK. You can’t color it any other way. So ask yourself, what does it mean that you live in accordance with the lies of this man, despite your liberalism, your commitment to Social Justice?

As a disabled person who was thoroughly fucked by the Biden administration and how they handled COVID, telling this to me would make me say something truly obscene. Imagine saying it to someone who buried dozens of family members in the Gaza genocide. The problem isn't the voters.

There's clearly deep resentment over the reality of US Black suffering. Lately, it's been characterized as narcissism & main character syndrome. That's why I resented the Great Antiracist Summer of 2020 while it was happening. I'm going to have to write something about how agonizing that time was.

it is wild that May Day isn't an official city, state, or federal holiday in the place that Haymarket actually happened

'We Palestinians Are Not Going Away' is a zine made up of first-person accounts of the war / genocide in Gaza, Palestine. Download it (it's free), print it and distribute it ✨ Available to download from the Little Zine Revolution site: lzr.life/zine/we-pale...

puberty blockers were the compromise, now i want exogenous cross sex hormones available in every bathroom in every school in america for free

I hope every person who harassed Palestinians and Molly Shah have ants in their cereal for the rest of their lives.

Wait, lowkey? That's not part of the point of Robby? And I mean that in all seriousness. All of his relationships with women in his workplace are problematic. The entire show is about him not going to therapy but being judgemental of everyone else around him. Literally that guy.

My thoughts on this week’s Parasha were published by @disabilitytorah.bsky.social - hope you find them meaningful. Shabbat shalom 💙

I love the show and the finale and don’t disagree with this. Every few episodes there’s a woman insisting on no treatment for measles or is using milk thistle for her cancer. There’s no serious discussion of chronic illness patients turning to non-western meds, it’s just jabs at women.

Well, this looks amazing and I am all in.

Oh fuck off with this. We have seen the labor market decimated for Black women and do not give a fuck about the problems men might be having finding a job.

It fucking kills me that Democrats can't do a single good thing on messaging but here's a brutal regime posting Lego videos that seem to be gathering attention.

This. Also, what does not seem to even cross people's mind is that there are others who have either high anxiety about your dog (my dad) or who are highly allergic (me).

As a pantheist and child of a Lutheran minister I find the whole admins beef with the Pope fascinating. Also, seriously, have none of these people ever beefed with a South Sider before? You will lose. They will never forget. But also, I kinda need a podcast to explain this to me.

Liberals really think Biden was poor smol bean that everybody was being mean to when they're not being mean to Trump. He's not small bean he's one of the most craven people to exist Trump just exceeds him, he saw the pictures of shredded babies too & never stopped. And we're being mean to Trump too.

It’s hard to overstate how much of this moment is driven by people who got a taste of accountability and were very, very mad about it.

Damn, didn't we have this discourse a month ago? The answer is the same as it was then: Democrats AND Republicans harassed and arrested all the protesters and denied them degrees, you stupid fucking assholes.

You fucknuts. Have you talked to those kids? Some of them are fucking traumatized by the state violence that was levied against them. But many of them have been taking what they learned and doing things with it. Doing a lot more then just showing up at a fucking protest.

The kids staged huge protests for Gaza and had police snipers called on them. @indivisible.org was too busy campaigning for the party financing that genocide to cultivate thise young activists. They also, correctly, understand that No Kings is not a protest movement.

You have more in common with the people of Iran than you do with anyone in this administration, any member of the technocracy, anyone who is profiting from this war, or any billionaire. When you see Iranians forming human chains outside key infrastructure sites, you should feel a sense of kinship.

The number of Democrats failing to meet this moment is really something. None of you deserve your jobs.

If you are on here feeling doom taking an action like this helps! We take care of each other. I just purchased 4 graphic novels.

Wonder if they will be able to get pictures of a nuclear blast from the Artemis shuttle.

If someone is demanding details on your protest activities of questionable or dubious legality on social media... They're a Fed. By all means, protest. Do direct action. But especially now, DON'T DESCRIBE THE DETAILS ON SOCIAL MEDIA.

What the actual fuck.

Bobs Discount Guillotines did in fact have Michigan winning the tournament and did better than any bracket I've ever put together. Feels wild that this could be my last notable achievement before this dipshit drops a nuclear weapon.

One of the first things I did when I got my PTO payout from my old job was buy a new cane from Bibi. Having one that is so stable and cute makes me so happy.

I have been a customer for a while now and highly recommend.

I've struggled with the Artemis news and I don't know if it's anxiety over it being amazing and good things don't happen like this anymore or if it's because as a child I watched the Challenger blow up but I am loving every picture and video that people share.

This thread. Also, I have refined my Bluesky feed apparently very well because I haven't seen anyone stan for Johnson in a long time. We all have thoughts about this administration. And sometimes pitchforks.

I’m sorry, if you’re a journalist and you’re still going to the White House Correspondents Dinner this year, genuinely, from the bottom of my heart, fuck off.
