Listening to Thelonious Monk while crafting with the polecule and our kids. This is the future leftists want.

We call them "the Greatest Generation" for shooting Nazis.

Steve Bannon, after calling for Trump to be President for life, did a Nazi salute on stage at CPAC. Nazism has officially taken over the GOP. The few remaining conservatives have a choice: either leave the party and obstruct it—or choose to be complicit.

THE RESIST LIST IS HERE. Proud my team just started this @resistlist.bsky.social, which will list actions that happened and that are slated to happen.

Don’t stop doing the things you love, loving the people you love and showing that love in acts of communal care because you’re afraid. Fear is how they thrive. Community. Care. Joy and Love is how we rebel. 🌈 💙✊🏽#communityasrebellion

I've said for years that anti-Blackness, racism and white supremacy should be considered as misinformation / disinformation. To study the history of race and journalism is to see that White supremacy was an effective disinformation campaign. And through that, we got Jim Crow, a fascist system.

We're in dire need to keep raising money because of the expenses of keeping all of the eSIMs topped up. For the latest about our project: disabilityvisibilityproject.com/2025/01/29/c...

Anyway, tomorrow is another day to fight back. Let's do that.

This is even more unconstitutional than usual. Article I gives Congress the power to establish the post office. It cannot be "dissolve[d]" by the Executive.

This is a fucking disgusting attempt at a joke. This is a Nazi salute. Period. The Trump admin just referred to Autistic people (and others) as threats to American society - making their eugenics clear. Read the room.

Long-term poverty is the fourth leading cause of death in America.

I heard the NEA is only considering proposals related to 1776 & the USA’s 250th birthday & I was feeling intensely patriotic, so I’m printing these really big posters inspired *directly* by the Founding Fathers The cut was carved from the masthead of a 19th century newspaper

NEW: Pregnancy became far more dangerous in Texas after the state banned abortion, according to ProPublica’s first-of-its-kind analysis, which found the sepsis rate for women hospitalized as they miscarried in the 2nd trimester shot up by more than 50%. https://propub.li/43487Tj

The US national press, ladies and gentlemen: “A fondness for regal themes”

A fondness for regal themes A fondness for regal themes A fondness for regal themes A fondness for regal themes Cancel your NYT subscriptions people. This is some absolute bullshit

Continue to share this fundraiser! Semicolon Bookstore is very much needed in Chicago📚❤️

Our about-to-be next FBI director just called journalism “the most powerful enemy the US has ever seen.”

I guess I thought it would take longer than a month for Trump to refer to himself as a King but here we are.

Our coup got coupier. Our authoritarianism got more authoritarian. And of course this is stupidity as a battering ram against what is legal and constitutional, because they weaponize stupidity.

Yes, I can see why they wouldn't love us... I know that I wouldn't if I were them. I try my best to put myself in other people's shoes. The Global South is probably looking at Global North countries right now re: the US like, "First time?" Recommended reading: us.macmillan.com/books/978125...

Oh. You can do that. Interesting

I don’t care if Canada is to the left of Greenpeace, or the right of the Kaiser: they’re an independent sovereign state. They don’t want to be American. Period. Stop normalizing and sane washing this statehood nonsense

The most shocking thing about this is that anyone took him at his word.

As I just shared this in a comment, I will also share it here. We made a free workbook associated with Let This Radicalize You. We included a bibliography of organizing resources pp. 100-109 - books, podcasts, curricula, articles, etc... www.interruptingcriminalization.com/resources-al...

Prospective adopters and predatory agencies already stalk pregnant people and now states are moving to enshrine it into law. Pro-choice liberals please wake TF up about what infant adoption really is. Google "Baby Scoop Era" because it's back. #adoption 🥚

I called this on threads yesterday. The Führerprinzip is increasingly being mirrored in their speech and actions.

If you wonder how countries slip into dictatorship, it’s like this. Amidst another flurry of news, an official adds at the end that Trump has signed an Executive Order saying that “only the President or Attorney General can speak for the US…as to what the law is.” What?! 👀

They also test drinking water

This commission statement refers to people with Autism, ADHD, asthma, auto-immune disease, and chronic illness as a “dire threat to the American people and our way of life”. This is a manifesto against disability. This is the language of eugenics.

Something exciting is happening soon! And by soon I *might* mean later this week. Keep your eyes peeled for magic. #2025Debuts #WritingCommunity #BookSky @htpbooks.bsky.social

If you're on the fence about having kids, just remember you might miss out on the opportunity to have a 4 year old quiz you on math facts while you're building Ikea furniture. 😬

This is the ultimate result of a hate campaign against the trans community. Depraved violence and murder against our community. archive.ph/G4U6J

Renowned choreographer Randy Duncan wants to dance again — but first, he needs a new kidney.

This has been so devastating to so many to watch unfold here, witnessing the ways our city and society completely failed this family.

Her story has shaken up metro Detroit. It's very cold up here and she didn't get the help she needed even after calling the city and multiple agencies. She, her mom, and her kids slept in a van. Ran out of gas. Her 9 year old & 2 year old died from hypothermia. I can't stop thinking about her. 💔

WTF just happened today? ⚡️ Day 1485: "What democracy is all about."

Interesting to see former #NHPoli governor Chris Sununu make this claim given that at $146K he made more than most professors in New Hampshire and also left politics because he wanted to make more money, which he is doing by shitting on civil servants on CNN www.youtube.com/watch?v=kIIP...

Trump: Gaza Cease-fire Should End Saturday if All Israeli Hostages Not Released Speaking to reporters, U.S. president said that he may speak to Netanyahu ahead of next deadline in cease-fire deal www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

there's still room to get worse.
