Jeff Bridges says he contracted COVID while receiving chemo. @tinu.bsky.social fought tirelessly for masks in healthcare. She had long covid & cancer and HCWs refused to mask for her. We must do better. People are dying & becoming disabled because HCWs prioritize comfort over infection control

If your feminism has a dress code and an income requirement, it’s not feminism, it’s a gated community. The second you start excluding sex workers from the feminist conversation because they don’t make you feel morally superior, what you’re practicing isn’t feminism, it’s classist, carceral

Community in #Salem protests Avelo Airlines for their role in deportation flights. "It’s shameful. It's blood money. It’s a deal with the devil. Avelo is a company that’s in financial trouble, and they took this ICE money for profit — profit over people." www.kgw.com/article/news...

This is a pale horse. This data centre company built specifically to offer compute for AI can't find a single customer big enough to make it possible for their business to function. I thought there was all this demand for AI? Where is all the demand, exactly?

Cultural and economic boycotts against fascist officials are amongst our most powerful weapons. No one should attend, work at, or perform anything at the Kennedy Center so long as it’s run by the Trump regime directly.

Abolish ICE, yes, but also let's not fool ourselves and think there are "good law enforcement" versus "bad ones." Tell local LEO who cooperate with ICE that they are participating in fascism. (The arguments are public safety and cost are completely hollow; they don't work any more.)

Please spread the correct information about Mayor Baraka's arrest. He had apparently been trying for a few days to visit the ICE prison and was rebuffed. Then the members of Congress tried to visit today and were made to wait in the waiting area for 90 minutes. Then 20 ICE Gestapo showed up...

Yes. Policing gender isn't just about us trans ppl. It's actually primarily focused on controlling women, both cis and trans, because gender is a power construct in addition to being a binary. The point of breaking down the binary is to deflate and destroy that power to make us all more free.

There’s nothing wrong with healthy living, it should be encouraged “Wellness grifters” aren’t about a healthy lifestyle. They’re about selling stuff & blaming chronically ill people for being sick Most of what they recommend is too expensive for people on disability, and a lot of it is dangerous

I really really hope that we don’t wait for this to be “over” to start holding these monsters arresting and deporting families accountable, as well as every single person complicit with or actively allowing separations and deportations to happen. They should never know peace.

Every extra hour that ICE spends facing off with activists is an hour they can't spend kidnapping other people. Every extra minute ICE has to spend contingency planning around activists and neighbors, every extra officer ICE has to put on a kidnap squad, is a drain on their efficiency.
