You have three days, starting today, to leave a public comment with the FDA about, say, why COVID-19 boosters should remain available to everyone and also free. "Individual consumer" is the category you most likely want (unless you are one of the other categories; if so, choose that).

The "don't speak up yet" folks will let us know when it's ok to criricize the government, right? I mean, it's not during an election. Or after the election. Or after 10 years of that party being in power. We eagerly await the go-ahead from you to be politically non-complacent.

Headlines like this are possible because of lawsuits. Do more to fight fascism than post on social media by donating to NPOs that hire lawyers to win lawsuits against the Nazi bastards. Some great places to donate in the comments.

“So, make your choice. Risk biting the hand that’s holding the collar and taking your lumps, or wait patiently for your muzzle and tiny little cage.” Great metaphor dude. Exercise your rights while you still have them!

In an unjust, immoral system, it's morally necessary to resist, and to refuse to comply. Here's a rambly article I wrote about exactly that. medium.com/@connordjohn...

I see a lot of people worried that, even if we do create a mass movement, we'll have to contend with a wave of Trumpers. Thing is, he's never really had majority support. Here's an article I wrote about it. medium.com/p/f2bbbb82c59b

It’s not theoretical. It’s not a future threat. It’s already here: a system of detention and deportation operating outside the law.

I've been a bit snarky lately since the RFK thing last week. For all the non-autistic people out there, I'd love to ask how you would feel if a public official said a group of people you belong to "has become an epidemic" this country needs to "solve"? I’m tired.

Diversity is not an agenda. Diversity is reality. If you’re not reading diversely, you’re missing out on the full breadth of the human experience. And that’s pretty sad.

i will remark again on this hallmark of maga politics, which is that trump embodies the organic will of the voters and this imbues him with sovereign power that cannot be checked or limited by any other institution in the society.

I'm originally from Cali. I like Gavin Newsom, but he is wrong about the deportation issue being a distraction. We CAN walk to the criticisms of the GOP tariffs AND chew gum on the constitutional deportation rights issues. Do better, Mr. Newsom.

They can’t win in the courts, so they’re trying immigrants in the court of public opinion. America: we are witness, jury, and judge. Together, we can hold them accountable.

Dispute your #StudentLoanDebt In Credit Karma (or studentaid.gov or transunion.com) >your loans > dispute > reason choose “Accuracy” > choose “other”. In the explanation box type: “My personal and financial data was compromised violating FERPA. I request full cancellation of my student loan debt.”

It's pretty obvious that RFK's concerns for vaccines arent about public health, but his eugenics-rooted hate for neurodiverse people. Personally, I think there's only one good place for eugenicists, and it sure as hell aint government.

Right now, a lot of people are scared, and think there's nothing they can do to fight the growth of fascism in the U.S.. I wrote this to help convince them that you *can* fight this. Hope it helps. #Politics #SocialJustice #Activism medium.com/@connordjohn...

“If enough people decide that they’re going to go out and take action, whether it’s feeding the hungry, fighting the jack-booted thugs disappearing people, or building new networks, that’s all it takes to change the world.” - @thiscjwilson.bsky.social medium.com/@connordjohn... #Advocacy #Protest

When I say you don’t have to worry about microplastics in your brain I mean that there is much stronger evidence that you should be worrying about other things that you don’t ever think about, like the draining of peatlands for agriculture, and things that you think about all the time, like fascism.

Your assignment this week is to read a book that some “Mom for Liberty” would bring to a school board meeting and cry about.
