If the firehose of doom is knocking you down, today, try doing: 1 thing to improve your own comfort/happiness (let yourself have something good) 1 thing to improve your immediate environment (clear your space a little) 1 thing to support your community (donate, support, amplify, speak out)

Did you know there’s a whole spectrum of stuff in between “spend all weekend cleaning your house” and “don’t do anything at all because it’s so overwhelming”? Wipe down one counter. Put away half a load of laundry. Vacuum one room. You can do a little bit, and it helps! And then you can stop!

okay but every fucking company that dropped anything remotely "DEI" so fast without any actual impetus to do so, preemptively for laws that were never going to be upheld because they weren't constitutional, needs to be fucking dragged into the street and stomped on forever

I don’t understand how there’s any debate about whether to characterize them as Nazis when they’re out here sieg heiling. It’s an absolute failure of messaging not to name and condemn this behavior, and build a narrative around it.

This is a shamefully racist movement that should be resisted by every person of good will. @brian-goldstone.bsky.social’s forthcoming book is incredible and it’s honestly the archive’s loss (and the nation’s). www.nytimes.com/2025/02/22/a...

I have never been able to convey just how bad maternal health is down here in the Gulf, especially for Black women. But this @mississippitoday.org report? It does it, and I hope EVERYONE reads it. mississippitoday.org/2025/02/19/m...

American Exceptionalism also applies to thinking there's no way America could be a dogshit racist fascist nation unless some flavor of salivating eastern horde was behind the transformation

“One of the purposeful consequences of overwhelm is that we see ourselves as the people politics happens to as opposed to being active participants in doing politics or shaping our political reality.“

NEW: DOJ lawyers were so embarrassed by judge Reyes they went full Karen and are asking to speak to the manager. They filed a letter with the chief judge of the DC circuit complaining about Judge Reyes.

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...

"People sometimes present the Nazis as a horror because they were uniquely evil and headed a uniquely oppressive and totalizing regime. But often the most chilling thing about Nazi Germany is that it really wasn’t a fantasy movie dystopia populated by supervillains. The Nazis were just people."

This is exactly how Hitler talked. It's not even a comparison or analogy, as people claim. It's a direct connection in ideology as well as a similar approach to governance and relationship to democracy. This needs to be how we talk about it. They are the ideological descendants of Hitler.

Oh look, it's the exact thing trans people warned all the cis women would happen to them as a result of this discrimination. Countdown to black women being told they don't qualify as "genetic women."

another great example along with Wired and Teen Vogue of how real journalism these days can be a lot braver at outlets where no one is trying to get in good with the White House press secretary they’re out here with us, reporting on what’s happening to us all, instead of trying to get inside access

Yes, it is entirely correct to point out that ICE officers do not have any legal authority to break into somebody’s home unless they get a judicial warrant; which they generally cannot do, because judges only issue warrants for probable cause of crimes, not immigration law violations.
