Hey btw. Use signal

Putting up a fierce fight at the opening of the poem is the way to stop the rest of the poem from coming true. The fight for migrants and to stop ICE is the same fight as the fight to protect LGBT people (citizens or not), reproductive autonomy, and everyone else the fascists want to fuck with.

A female democratic representative was killed in Minnesota today by someone impersonating a cop. Turns out the threat to women's safety isn't trans women identifying as woman, it's men identifying as cops.

I, like many of you, am not only devastated but furious at the assassination of two Minnesota lawmakers this morning. This isn’t some isolated tragedy. It’s extremism, it’s fascist violence, and we have to treat it that way. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Easy mistake to make. That's a witch. She's busy.

It also seems to kill off your curiosity in many ways, too. If all you want is "the product" without ever engaging in the process, you will never actually know anything.

we know how strong we are together @susanlbridges.bsky.social and I wrote this page for the Mad Cave charity comic for victims of the recent fires, but y’know what? replace the fire with fascists invading our city and it all still applies YOU WILL NOT BREAK US we are LA STRONG

long live Los Angeles

This is appalling. These are also conditions they tested in the Biden admin by keeping people outdoors and providing no food, water, and shelter. Congress didn’t say a word, and now here we are

1. A Mexican revolution trans man... a trans woman who transitioned as a kid in the 1800s... a trans woman fencer and spy turned double agent... a trans civil war soldier who stole his captor's weapon... These are the trans people you never learn in school. Subscribe to support our journalism.

63% of American adults had unfavorable views of Martin Luther King Jr in August 1966, per Gallup surveys 46% of Mississippi GOP voters said interracial marriage should be illegal in a 2011 PPP poll to push w/e is popular instead of trying to popularize justice is to admit you lack moral leadership

If you've never taught, especially if you're a student with limited time and resources, it can be hard to understand why using ChatGPT is unethical, but I am begging you to listen to your teachers on this one. It's not worth the "convenience" (and how convenient can it be if it's wrong so often??).

people in red states tried to warn y’all and you told us to move

One nice thing about Boston Dyke March being an anti-corporate pride that takes no money from corporations is: they have no veto power over our event. There’s nobody who can pull out on us or “back away” and kill the event. We’ve never needed them. Time to remember that.

I talked to 15 teachers/professors about how AI and ChatGPT is ruining their lives: www.404media.co/teachers-are...

International students bring different perspectives to the classroom and to campus. They make our classes more whole. These attacks on international students is yet another attempt to squash diversity of ideas and intellectual debate. This admin wants our kids isolated and dumb.

We fucking warned you

I know the answer to this but I still feel the need to ask: why is Ben of Ben & Jerry's doing more than our elected officials to resist this deplorable administration??

i really really hate how many people on the left are responding to good advice on dealing with ICE with "so they don't abide by the law anyway" ignore people who tell you not to take basic safety precautions like knowing your rights. those people aren't your friends

A few Palestinian YouTube channels have stopped because they were killed. These were kids. They sang songs & loved birds, and showed us the ocean. I'll never forget Medo, a young man growing a garden in the midst of a genocide. Israel killed him; he showed the world that Palestinians are human.

Oh yeah nice one kid hook that hope for humanity right into my veins

This is a very helpful thread to make sense of the (proposed?) changes at NSF right now. There's a lot of scary language going around and it IS scary and this is REALLY BAD but it's important to understand what exactly is happening without overstating it. #NSF

1. Today, the Trump administration's HHS Dept., under RFK Jr., released a review of transgender healthcare. It has no authors. It pushes pseudoscience and conversion therapy. It does not follow a scientific process. My fact check of the Trump HHS review. Subscribe to support my journalism.

MEMPHIS VS. MUSK: “XAI is belching smog-forming pollution into an area of South Memphis that leads TN in emergency visits for asthma. 0 of the 35 methane gas turbines has pollution controls typically federally required. XAI has no Clean Air Act permits.” www.eenews.net/articles/elo...

i hunt and raise / slaughter livestock and do my own butchering i enjoy it and it's more ethical than purchasing meat from a store. i advocate people learning how to garden and store food for means of personal resemblance but only a fool would argue for this as the solution to food insecurity

I am a serious urban gardener and I have OPINIONS about growing your own food. It is HARD AS HELL. I grew up w a gardening grandmother+ have been doing it for 20 years. It is so, so difficult. Blight, drought, bugs, nutrients... Only after 20 years am I half confident. The earth will humble you 1/2

The increase in autism diagnoses doesn’t mean more people are suddenly autistic it means we got better at recognizing it. It’s not that hard a concept to understand.

This is devastating

This is bad or whatever, but we need to lead every discussion on this with the fact that it doesn’t matter what you do, you shouldn’t be sent to a foreign gulag from where you can never return by the US government!

Find a protest near you and show up! Making your voice heard *matters*.

THREAD: Last year, ProPublica started receiving tips from an unusual kind of source: flight attendants. They said they'd worked on deportation flights for ICE, and they could tell us what it was really like on board. 1/

It seems ICE had a quota for Venezuelan gang members & filled it by picking up people with tattoos. Rose, hummingbird, soccer, mother, Autism awareness. For that people are taken from their families & sent to spend the rest of their lives in horrifying conditions. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Disappointed, but not surprised.

I've cossed more international borders than most, been through checkpoints and searches and have trained human rights activists, journalists and others in staying safe in repressive regimes. In the past few days I've provided some friends with travel advice for no particular reason; here's a thread:

I’ve seen a lot of assumptions in the media that Trump (and Musk) are targeting institutions with loyalty tests. But that’s not quite right. They’re using dominance tests. And the difference between these two things matter. 🧵

you really ought to read this.
