Covid is a social justice issue. If we cared about reducing transmission, we would be providing respirators, tests, vaccines, paxlovid and paid time off to everyone. If you can’t afford a mask, make sure to check for a local mask bloc! maskbloc.org

Fuck Lisa Murkowski and all her fake hand-wringing Fuck Susan Collins. How many times do we have to be teased by their struggle with their conscience? Here’s a thought: Grow a pair. Let’s call them. Flood their phones. Post their faces. Make them sweat. Even if you’re not in Maine or AK, call!

We’ve reached the point where a man born on a U.S. Army base to a military family is exiled to a country he’s never seen. This isn’t immigration policy. It’s state-sanctioned cruelty wrapped in a flag. www.yahoo.com/news/us-sold...

We need answers—now. Where is our sister Hilary Rivers? ICE took her the morning after Pride with no warning, no due process, and no communication. This is not justice—this is kidnapping. We demand transparency, accountability, and her immediate release. Read more: 48hills.org/2025/06/drag...

Birthright citizenship is a Constitutional RIGHT. Any attack on it is an attack on us all. This is an attempt by far-right justices to attack immigrant communities and remove protections from any American who questions Trump. Your rights are nonnegotiable. We can’t compromise on that basic fact.

Mental health-wise, my days seem better when I just listen to music instead of scrolling here/reddit or listening to current events podcasts. I guess I should strive for a better balance.

Please stop travelling to the US If you’re in the US and don’t have to be, leave. It is not safe. Those that can leave, should. The rest of us should vote with our dollars and refuse to go there until it’s safe for everyone. They just murdered a Canadian.

Mamdani was the ONLY dem candidate who opposed mask bans. Which says all you need to know about the “left” in the United States. He will now face Adams, who has said at least three separate times that he wants a city wide mask ban. Mask bans are discriminatory ugly laws that put lives at risk.

You know what would encourage people to get more physical activity? No, it is not wearable fitness trackers. It is: 1. A liveable wage so people have time for it 2. Safe parks and other infrastructure for such activity But that’s too hard.

They’re planning on building a detention center for migrants in the middle of the fetid swamps of Florida. If you think this is something new, the first internment camp they sent me and my family to in 1942 was a barbed wire prison called Rohwer. It was located in the swamps of Arkansas.

This is oligarchy. This is obscene. While 60% live paycheck to paycheck & kids go hungry, Jeff Bezos, worth $230 billion, goes to Venice on his $500 million yacht for a $20 million wedding & spends $5 million on a ring while his real tax rate is just 1.1%. End this oligarchy.
