Just saw a thread about a guy calling into cspan saying his diabetic supplies increased from 5 dollars to 80 dollars and somebody in the comments, probably multiple people but I stopped reading, replied “FAFO” and I can’t stress enough how much you need to stop doing that shit

#teslatakedown I made some protest art.

I feel like Im taking Cassandra pills ffs The way folks dismiss sex workers, disabled, bipoc, trans, & queer folks is going to be the literal end of us. We are not psychic, we are pointing out the obvious outcomes of what's happening bc we feel it hit first.

Yes. We can have empathy for all. We can be radically caring.

they know this ends with total victory over the constitutional republic or them facing down something very, very bad and we should act like we know it too

Anyway, support libraries, wear a mask in public, & give Mutual Aid to those in need to actually fight fascism at a personal level.

Hundreds of people marked Presidents Day on Monday by packing Lawyers Mall in Annapolis to protest President Donald Trump’s actions. Read about it on @thebaltimorebanner.com's live coverage of the Maryland General Assembly: www.thebaltimorebanner.com/politics-pow...

And here’s why you should stop going to X, The Everything App

There’s an underlying assumption that non-voters simply don’t enter into the equation here at play as well. Once you decide anyone who sat out isn’t someone worth talking to then you’re left with “how can we convince people actively supporting the opposition?” as your only option.

Not only is it okay bUt right now It is imperative you get clear on who thinks it is okay for you to be harmed for the "greater good" even as a joke or as "wisdom"

The Washington Post refused to run this ad. Sure would be a shame if it went viral.

I have no patience for "that's what they get" replies. I don't care the fuck anybody voted for or didn't vote for. The people whose lives are being destroyed by Trump are not my enemies. Period. I don't want anyone harmed. I want the harm to stop.

No need to parse dog whistles with the advocate for Germany’s neo-Nazi party, who laments the end of Apartheid in South Africa, does sig heils in public, denigrates minorities, and proclaims that white men are inherently superior. Yes, he is. We don’t need to ask anymore, we need to deal with it.

"B-but it's such a useful platform and it helps me reach a potential new audience." But a lot of your potential audience is *avoiding* you because you're there. You can't have both, so which do you want? The ones who are okay with Nazis, or the ones who aren't?

We have to start changing how we talk about these facilities. The Guantanamo 'detention centre' is a concentration camp. The proposed 'wellness farms' would also be a concentration camp. This isn't about making America healthy... this is eugenics and fascism. Call it what it is.

Elon/Project 2025 is starting to weaponizing your data—time to start caring. Every search, email, and location ping fuels surveillance. Ditch Google, use privacy-first tools, and take back control. Your data is your power. Protect it. #PrivacyMatters #DeGoogleNow.

Once we start putting a numerical value on a human life, we are lost. And evil has won. Let me be clear: every human life is of an incalculable worth. Each of you is precious beyond words, beyond thought, beyond reckoning. When men say otherwise, the humanity they deny is their own.

When you hear “Make America Healthy Again” please remember who the Nazi’s targeted first. They wanted to make Germany healthy and “pure” The Aktion T4 program mass murdered people with disabilities. They tested the gas chambers on us. Please do not obey in advance. Speak out. Save lives.

Update on my life: Last year, I joined my kids' school's PTA, because they needed a treasurer and I'm good enough with numbers. It was a straightforward, self-contained job: balancing the checkbook for an organization that only did a few fundraisers each year.

35+ Dems plan to hold the Senate floor all night to oppose the confirmation of Musk-Trump funding freeze architect Russ Vought. THIS is how we fight back while in the minority. (via @schatz.bsky.social)
