Apparently this is just going to be a thread I share over and over: To be that annoying person who for *some reason* thinks we should use “proper language” for things that don’t have “racist or ableist” connotations - You gotta stop using dumb, idiot(ic), stupid, moron, imbecile, et al. ⬇️

some of these motherfuckers make me want to run for Congress and I do NOT want to run for Congress. I am TOOOOO messy.

To be that annoying person who for *some reason* thinks we should use “proper language” for things that don’t have “racist or ableist” connotations - please stop using dumb, et al. - these are words used to stigmatize & justify abuse of people who score lower on the (notoriously) racist IQ test.

The best way to stop Trump is to make sure Democrats a) have a filibuster-proof majority in both houses and b) understand that we’ll throw the whole fucking lot of them out if they don’t start ruthlessly & jealously guarding the legislative branch’s power.

Yup

I keep seeing this. Guys, their literal job is to figure out what to do. They are not helpless even if they are not the majority. I really hope we can stop treating some of the most powerful people in the world as helpless and without sentience.

This is amazing: Pillsbury has finally given up and started pasteurizing the flour in their raw cookie dough because they know people are going to eat it raw even if they say not to

Let’s make their lives MISERABLE

On this #16th day of #BlackHistoryMonth, I am sharing a newsletter post about the 1829 Lafayette Slave Revolt. This is an ongoing research project in which I am engaged. open.substack.com/pub/prisoncu...

I was reminded. They can do more. Demand they do every little last thing they can. They can handle us getting mad at them. And sure, it can feel like getting mad at them is getting mad at the wrong people, but getting mad at the people who are supposed to fight for you because they didn’t is good.

I've protested for decades. Be aware and be safe. Read and prepare accordingly.🖤✊🏽 www.law.nyu.edu/centers/race...

If you say that Democrats should impeach Trump right now I’ll laugh in your face.

On Friday night, HHS ordered CDC to take down all flu vaccine campaign materials from its website. Materials are starting to come down. For example, a campaign explaining that flu shot can reduce flu severity from "wild to mild" is now offline. Left image is from Friday, right is now Meanwhile...

Oh, it’ll be available. Insurance companies will continue to make money. You’ll just have to get it privately.

You have feet - take to the streets

And why can’t we

I really fucking hate living through this timeline. Today it is made much worse by the inability to get my ADHD meds for at least two more days. I’m on day two of this shit and I tell you, I will not allow it to happen again. I feel horrible.

this remains a massive problem. a month of rampant law breaking and the constitution in abeyance and still no sign party leadership cares about anything but positioning themselves for the midterms

A bit of encouragement for folks who want to protest Tesla but aren't sure what it accomplishes. One of my escape activities is poker. After yesterday's protest, I went over to my regular room to play. An hour after I sit, another reg (who is very proud of his Model Y) starts telling a story 🧵

I feel like I'm going insane every time I see a media story about DOGE that doesn't also mention the fact that the Government Accountability Office exists and performs the exact function that DOGE pretends to, only in a credibly constitutional, non-partisan, and conflict-of-interest-free manner
