New pinned: URGENT MUTUAL AID Bills: 0/80 Rent: 0/3350 $givepancake paypal.me/inosaramet venmo: pancakewitch www.gofundme.com/f/support-sa... 💕💸 💕💸🏳️‍⚧️ #mutualaid #helpsky #disability #transmutualaid

We Got 0$ out of $500 Unfortunately, we did not have our breakfast today because we did not buy flour. Can we get the first $100 today ?

I have three hearings at three different courthouses today. At the second, someone was sobbing outside the courtroom. They'd asked ChatGPT what to say in Court. They believed what it told them. They lost because it hallucinated, and they didn't know there were no do-overs.

Reminder Arendt wrote that but didn’t believe this applied to Civil Rights and desegregation protesters Which has way to much resonance right now

I would find this argument more reassuring if the president were not already regularly doing things he is not legally allowed to, such as starting war with Iran, providing material support to a genocide, etc., and were the Supreme Court not just saying "yes he can" when they please.

It's fucked up how our world praises people for helping (as we should), but then shames people for needing help.

Concrete action you can take right now, today, to fight this bill!

we’re not supposed to have blasphemy laws.

Israeli Finance Minister Smotrich went on a very long Twitter rant yesterday in which he vowed that Israel will never relinquish an inch of "its territory" including all of occupied East Jerusalem, the West Bank, and Gaza in exchange for normalization with Saudi Arabia or Syria or others.

It is one of those counterintuitive and yet 100% true rules of life that not caring what other ppl think of you almost immediately makes a whole lot of people think better of you

Racism and ratings . They can’t actually provide answers but the can make sure we don’t hear any

this whole discourse is bringing back flashbacks to this incident from college in 2002 we're stuck in a stupid loop of Islamophobia and Arabic-phobia www.thecrimson.com/article/2002...

"I’m sorry that you’re living in a world on fire, and that the forces around you, especially government forces around you, are arrayed against you. But they aren’t the only voices and there are millions of people who do care about you and do love you" -- Dr. Megan Pickett, astronomer 🔭🧪🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈

New urgent local GFM: Lani's off-grid out in the county. her solar-panel system is her only power source, and it hasn't functioned for over a year, which means her O2 concentrator doesn't work. Only $4.5K to get her breathing again: gofund.me/7fc302c5.

History only rhymes because we refuse to learn from it.

All right, tonight's local urgent needs. One extant, one new. Before I post them, I want to preface this by asking people to review the donations. Now, to be clear, I don't begrudge ANYONE donations. I'm glad they're getting them. But the disparity is enormous.

My favorite thing about this is that THAT IS NOT HOW NAMES WORK in Muslim societies anyway. You don't "take your husband's name". Your name is your lineage, and your lineage remains for life. Has its own issues obviously but hey, I just like the ridiculousness of ignorance.

Another day, another elbow to the jaw delivered by Mark Carney, who outright lied to Canadians so that he could…protect…who and what now? Remind me please. Who is this m’fer protecting by cowtowing to Trump? Cos it’s neither Canada nor Canadians as much as I can tell. But you do you.

The level of bald-faced, open racism that we are now seeing is simply gobsmacking. Far worse than anything I can remember in the US in my lifetime.

This is my sister Hala, she is 34 years old, she has mental atrophy and needs diapers, special food, and treatment for electrolyte disturbances (she suffers from excess electricity in the body). Now she is displaced with my elderly father and mother. Can you please help her 🙏🏻🙏🏻💔 gofund.me/4327e1a4

AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH

fucken YIKES, pals. www.canada.ca/en/departmen...

if your argument is “things like amazon wouldn’t exist without billionaires” you’re totally right bc amazon sucks shit

To Trump this is the "worst of the worst." In reality it's a mom who never committed a crime, lived in US for nearly 50 years and checked in with US Immigration as required. She is now in an ICE penal colony:

For many of you Friday was payday, and here's an opportunity to do something good in a world that desperately needs it

And I need to point here once again just how much this is a project and product of American "Christian Zionism" — an apocalyptic, Armageddonist belief system that literally depends on the torture and extermination, in the most horrifyingly eternal ways, of ALL non-Christians . . . including Jews.

on the bright side the media blowing their wad having a screaming racism fit the first week after zohran getting the nom means in two weeks they'll have moved on to something else, if the average journalistic attention span these days is anything to go by

HANG UP YOUR LONGBOW, TODAY YOU WILL BATTLE SELF DOUBT. AND YOU WILL WIN.

You could always just stop being a cop

If you have a heart, don't ignore us... My children haven't eaten bread for several days.😞We feel sad because we cannot provide the basic needs for our children. We are victims of this war, siege and famine. We need your support.🥹🙏🫂 gofund.me/8974ddba
