Just going to drop this right here… 🫠

Too shocked to retype or correct my typo. Unprecedented doesn’t really cover it… #Catholic #Pope #PopeLeoXIV #Catholicism

#HandsOff Miami was so encouraging. Over 50 marches in Florida alone. Thousands and thousands. The South is a part of the resistance. Always has been, always will be. We are here. Somos parte de esta revolution. ✊🏼 #HandsOffMiami

Today is World Piano Day.

They are just disappearing people off the street. Having a hard time thinking about literally anything else.

Schumer is trying to justify his vote on Jake Tapper right now, saying if they had let the government shut down "they could fire half the workers in the federal government." WHAT DO YOU THINK THEY'RE DOING RIGHT NOW CHUCK

I wake up I check my phone to see if anyone’s done the thing yet I go to work I check my phone to see if anyone’s done the thing yet I shower I check my phone to see if anyone’s done the thing yet Alas Maybe tomorrow

It took seeing adult bullies to understand that my childhood bullies didn’t even really want to hurt me, they just wanted to feel powerful and how I felt about it wasn’t even in the equation. I can’t imagine someone not outgrowing that, but apparently it happens quite a lot!

Just a reminder that fascists, authoritarians, dictators of all stripes destroy archives— books, museums, databases, &c— because those things provide windows onto a plurality of other ways we might organize the world. And so preserving, defending, and spreading that knowledge harms those regimes.

I’m so sick of people saying this shit, especially elected officials. He’s the president. Declaring himself a king after issuing an order just the day before that says he’s the final authority on all laws isn’t a goddamn distraction.

realizing that bluesky doomscrolling may be worse than twitter doomscrolling bc on here people share demonstrable proof that the country is collapsing, whereas twitter is a burn pit for toxic hallucinatory nonsense. the terror of the Real vs the horror of the Uncanny or whatever

As a society, we need an urgent cure for terminal lawyer brain bsky.app/profile/jayw...

Setting quotas of arrests per day. You know what happens when you have a quota to meet? Scoop them up and let the court sort it out. They will be grabbing anyone they can. No proof of citizenship on your person? Too bad. That’s an arrest. Look “illegal?” Explain it to the court someday.

“We are not anyone’s colony.”

We are living in a time of shock and awe. In my latest Substack, I explore the ways in which tyranical leaders try to distract us from the future we desire. Remember, it is in these times of chaos that we must remain focused on the road ahead. As always, it is free to read.

I wasn’t sure we could more aligned as #Colombians today but the collective scream over that U will be heard from Miami to Bogota. #Colombia

We saw this happen as a result of the pandemic also

I am begging my comrades in #philanthropy to heed this as our core value.

Editors: Please don't tell your reporters to ask Trump staffers what they thought Musk was doing or let them say, oh, well, it was intended as a wave or whatever. Just report that Musk gave the Nazi salute from the podium.

For the next four years I am preparing to be as kind and as giving as I can truly bear As well as being as honest as I can Too many people think it’s more important they feel like good people. Than actually being good people and are weaponizing self preservation to entrench abuse

By intentionally naming Trump, TikTok is signaling its intention to be used as a tool to spread right wing propaganda. Extremely disturbing.

Nos vamos!! 😭😭😭 No siento ni mis manos de el stress. Pero — que experiencia tan diferente a Ticketmaster. Obvio que si se puede hacer las cosas de buena manera y si extractar de la gente. Wepa — Bad Bunny. Nos vemos en Augosto. 😭♥️

everybody be quiet I’m in line for bad bunny tickets

Misinformation on social media is going to get worse. People are going to turn to trusted websites for vetted information. Media sites are important, but nonprofits serving as news sources have a role to play too. It's a good time to ramp up your news/blog sections! www.weforum.org/publications...

The way I think about things the “racial reckoning” was analogous to the thing that tipped us over into the 21 century version of the Protestant Reformation But replacing the Gutenberg press with social media

Shes the WORST.

I hope there’s an afterlife so I can compare my exhaustion from my computer jobs to a medieval peasant and really see which is worse

All of the elite responses to the UHC/Luigi thing seem incapable of grasping that people broadly recognize now that the Proper Channels they insist everyone should direct their grievances into are designed to waste your time, take your money, or both.

Colleges scramble to shield programs amid growing hostility from GOP www.washingtonpost.com/education/20...

Elon’s message about CEOs is SENDING ME. This timeline we are on is so unserious and audacious. “Sorry” — our empathy is out of network. 💀

Billionaire capitalism has one singular aim — to rob us of hope so we chase the endorphins that chain us. What is never accounted for is how unique and inextinguishable hope is to humans. Every group we model liberatory practice from has modeled hope.

Philanthropy is actually a genius marketing term for creating or capturing the institutions governing people's lives, making them operate as you see fit, and instrumentalising them for your ultimate benefit. It makes wresting people's self-determination away sound so benevolent.

#Philanthropy really is so good at love bombing and situationships. One min we’re on the same page about what our purpose is — next min, the gaslighting beings about the same things we’d been saying forever about liberatory practices and what we had already agreed to fund and fight…

Santa had just told us begrudgingly that he *used* to be a potato farmer. The triad of emotional states here is just… #dogsofbluesky

Were and will always be.
