You can’t get into Heaven if you go around arresting innocent people and pardoning guilty ones.

I love that all the copies in the interlibrary loan system are checked out and there's a hold waitlist. #Booksky #NonFiction #Resist #NoKings

US/European policy & Treaty of Versailles after WW1 led to WW2. US policy in Central America in the 1970s contributed to the current immigration process. US policy is currently contributing to the #Genocide in #Palestine Maybe white people colonialism is the problem. #Resist #NoKings #FreePalestine

Since the rapture didn't happen today, it's definitely happening tomorrow. Right???? *dripping sarcasm*

AOC: We should be clear about who Charlie Kirk was. A man who believed that the civil rights act that granted black Americans the right to vote was a mistake… His rhetoric and beliefs were ignorant, uneducated, and sought to disenfranchise millions of Americans.

Powerful read. Highly recommend #nonfiction #booksky

When does the National Guard arrive in Salt Lake City? I mean, one of his lil friends died. Isn’t that how it works? Or is it the state that’s the wrong color or the people?

I didn’t know about this, and if I didn’t know about this, then you probably didn’t either. This should be my entire feed and it’s not and that’s a problem  This sit in has now been going on over 48 hours and I am just hearing about it now 1/

After the Trump administration slashed the US international aid budget, an outbreak of Ebola in Congo is testing the global health community's emergency responses

What most fail to understand...

If you are not following @allyhenny.bsky.social or subscribing to her Patreon; what are you waiting for???? Also can we stop expecting Black and other POC to be on the front lines of this fight. #Resist #FightFacism #FightRacism

Fascism is here. We are not “getting closer” or “in danger of.” This matters because it frames our discussion: We aren’t trying to prevent it, we’re trying to defeat it. It’s not taking over our institutions, it’s taken them over. Otherwise, we’re always behind, fighting a past we’ve already lost.

Texas Democrats are standing up for democracy. The maps are rigged. The process is compromised. www.texastribune.org/2025/08/03/t...

Is anyone surprised at this point? They will lie until they are blue in the face to make themselves richer and screw everyone else over.

The 'bloopers' at the end of S3E4 of SNW were hilarious. Loved the Riker maneuver. #StarTrek #StrangeNewWorlds #RikerManeuver

The Trump regime wrote a memo that “shocks the conscience”, revoking “citizenship from the children of both immigrants who lack permanent legal status and many lawful residents… It envisions intrusive federal review of parents’ papers—quite possibly in the hospital, before or shortly after birth…”

Love it

Marco Rubio, Stephen Miller, Kirsti Noem, Joseph Mazzara, Emil Bove, Drew Sargent, and everyone else involved in planning, executing, and obstructing justice around the CECOT imprisonments are responsible for Andry's torture and rape. Each bears a share of the blame. Don't ever let them forget it.

the problem with right-wing ideology is that it isn't based on any factual evidence or logically coherent arguments - its based on the conclusion that various forms of bigotry & hierarchy are Natural and Good, and builds off that to justify itself. there is no "middle ground." its just bad.

New mask, same task.

Under Reagan's tax cuts, the average tax cut for the top 1% was 68x larger than the average cut for middle-class households. Under Bush's tax cuts, it was 16x larger. And under Trump, 36x larger.  The GOP has always governed for the privileged few.

The Zorg is a well written book about a part of our history that isn't talked about enough. This book is factually accurate & incorporated several primary sources w/o reading like a textbook. Kara doesn’t shy away from the horrors experienced by the slaves as they crossed the Atlantic. 💡📚 #Booksky

Excited to announce my first book signing! If you're anywhere near Central Illinois, check it out! :) Monday, July 14th from 4pm to 5:45pm in Pana, Illinois' Carnegie-Schuyler Library. #booksky #queerbooksky 🌈📚

🚨The GOP provision to DEFUND Planned Parenthood is staying in the Big Ugly bill. Clinics will shutter. Women will lose access to cancer screenings, birth control, and basic care. I will be forcing a vote to try to strip it out. Fight like hell. We need to kill this bill.

BREAKING: Republicans just blocked my amendment to ensure Veterans, foster kids and the homeless aren’t denied SNAP benefits. There is no one Republicans won’t betray to ram through tax cuts for their billionaire buddies.

I love the @cpsc.gov's annual fireworks safety video. I look forward to it every year.

#Resist #NoKings #SupremeCourt

"SCOTUS allows Trump admin to deport people to random countries with no notice" Honestly still can't believe that I wrote this headline today, let alone that the U.S. Supreme Court's majority did so.

Bombing Iran was stupid. It's also a distraction. They're trying to get us to ignore the protests, ICE, the big bill, stripping away of rights....all of it. #Resist

Sometimes I can’t get past the fact that we have the technology and the resources to address so many problems and help so many people and yet we do…whatever this is.

Just a reminder that Orwell’s protagonist in 1984, Winston Groom, works as a copy editor, except that his job entails endlessly “correcting the data” so that the archival record conforms to the Party’s preferred fictions, and what is “known” becomes a principal instrument of conformity.

If your critique of an action, effort, or movement to protect more people boils down to, “But I want to protect what I (or even other people) already secured for myself,” don’t be surprised if we part ways.

Black and brown people.

If there any humans left in two hundred years they're going to think we were all the stupidest humans ever to have lived.

If I were an evil advisor to Trump, I'd declare emergencies in blue states. I'd unleash the National Guard or military to essentially occupy the place and replace local police. All of this will become normalized by media. Then, I'd eventually declare martial law to suspend or delay elections.

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

Not scary at all *dripping sarcasm*

Very Well Said….

GOP Sen. Joni Ernst responds to voters saying that cutting Medicaid will kill them: “Well, we all are going to die.”

Book of poetry coming out June 13, 2025. Just finished the ARC. It's really good. #Booksky #EhlersDanlosSyndrome #MastCellActivationSyndrome #ChronicIllness #InvisableDisability

Trumpist fascism is coming for everyone. Yes, you too. This time it was a legal resident of New Hampshire (a) with an American-citizen child, (b) married to an American-citizen cardiologist.

GLAAD has recently released their Social Media Safety Index 2025 and because of the rollbacks on hate speech policies every major platform got an F. I wonder if cishet people realise that this won’t just hurt the LGBTQ+ community.

Learning about the past can help us #Resist now #Booksky 🌈 📚
