A competent party would be looking for Mamandi's all over the country. Charasmatic, passionate young people who love the place they live and can really connect with the people there. But then they might be forced to take any sort of stand on anything.

Senator Charlie Brown this morning said he hope and prays Lucy will hold the football this time

I'll get word out about what to do to support this critical legislation, but if you want to get started today, here's how to contact your US Senators and your US Representative 🥚 adopteerightslaw.com/action/citiz...

The US Senate has introduced the bipartisan Protect Adoptees and American Families Act, formerly known as the Adoptee Citizenship Act. Let's get this enacted so that thousands of intercountry adoptees finally secure US citizenship. 🥚 adopteesunited.org/congress-int...

The United States, once again a trailblazer against human rights.

It really highlights the disdain Cuomo has for the actual people of the city, 'cause he's willing to try to mimic Mamdani's social media campaign but he's not gonna go so far as to actually engage with New Yorkers beyond a photo op where it looks like he has a gun to his head.

If you DIDN'T know, Yusef Salaam is one of the Central Park 5 who was exonerated after being VILIFIED by Trump.

I’m sharing this link for Ola, who’s account keeps being deleted. Please share and donate if you can

I've never seen a NYC pol be as thorough and genuine in their outreach as Mamdami, which is especially shameful given the vast array of constituencies that live there

The world of professional wrestling can be pretty shit at times but Hangman Adam Page seems like a genuinely good person.

Ok native plants guy!!! He’ll be supporting all kinds of pollinators with that garden

i don’t have it yet but you should light that joint while dancing to this youtu.be/Gs069dndIYk?...

Still love this.

So the skinny from the pharmacy is you need a doctor’s prescription to get the COVID shot in DC, but you can go to Maryland & get it without.

Saw some random spicy Canadians heading down South

jazz is so good and they're like "yeah, that shit is evil" lmao

I know this shit is serious, but the way that white supremacy conflates music they don't like performed by people they don't like with evil and conspiracy always feels so silly (not the fun kind) and pitiful to me.

Which is why generative lie machines and the surveillance tools they're embedded in are proliferating.

bunch of fucking bitches

When we say everything in this country is tainted by white supremacy we really mean EVERYTHING.

LOL this is way too loud.

“We will stand for whatever keeps us in power” is essentially another form of fascism. If there’s nothing worth fighting for on principle then there’s no reason to support them.

From Mohamad: My sister, these days I am collecting donations for my injured cousin who is waiting for his turn to go outside Gaza for treatment. Can we help, please?

Hard agree. I’ve been looking into mesh networks for this reason. With the emergence of digital infrastructures built for and by Black folks, now the task is solving how we can access them on our terms.

Because it's a hobby that has a lot of "shit hits the fan" potential a lot of the online learning communities and materials are crawling with fash, klan, etc. so please be mindful, but groups like this exist and I'm sure they'd love to bring their mean membership age under 70.

Important 🧵. I keep thinking back to 9/11 when I lived in Brooklyn and cell phone service was unusable for days afterward. I got a landline after that but we need methods of communication that can’t be controlled by corporations. More consolidations + interruptions in service are likely.

Mongo Santamaria or Earth, Wind + Fire

high BMI also works for eligibility. it’s one of few times that that wretched chart has worked in my favor! 🙌🏽

[stands at CVS pharmacy register] "Lemme just cut out some lung for a biopsy!"

We were able to get an appt for Wiggles to get hers because the pediatrician is going to have the vaccine available but they’ve warned us that insurance might not cover it. We’re lucky we can afford it. $140 is impossible for a lot of people

This, though is going to be the biggest barrier even if you can get an appointment and I think it depends on location and insurance provider

If you're a former smoker you're eligible for the Covid vaccine, and CVS didn't ask me for any proof.

Yeah, that's how somebody got shot and killed by friendly fire at the last no kings protest.

Don't organize with anyone who doesn't want to discuss and plan for physical and data safety

Really appreciate the phrases “the reader of the complaint must labor through…” and “the reader must endure…” going into the public record.

ANTIBLACKNESS IS COUNTER-REVOLUTIONARY

If you're a white leftist who wants to be an organizer, the #1 way I know coalitions will fail is if you're snide to Black people online. Calling marginalized folks cowardly and stupid for trying to keep themselves safe while protesting? You don't have what it takes.

This crab is going to organize its community against digital surveillance and I am here for it.

i’ve said it before but if someone thinks i’m annoying, muting or blocking me is probably better for both of us

i imagine i’m extremely annoying if you don’t like the things i like, i would block me if i wasn’t me tbh

Decisions to block me aren't any of my business

Three hummingbirds at the feeder. Every day they helped me. Some large beauty.

future champ right there. i was hyped!

i’m in love again. 😍

I know I shouldn't search for a coherent narrative in all this but aren't these the same people who desperately want more (white) babies?

If anyone ever tries to use an AI fake to eulogize me after a tragedy or for any other reason Please know that I will immediately reanimate, rise from the grave, and deal with the situation personally
