Five children and three adults died from cholera in South Sudan after walking for hours in extreme heat for medical help. Their local clinics closed due to U.S. aid cuts by Trump during the worst cholera outbreak in decades. Foreign aid is only 0.3% of the Pentagon’s budget. He’s a murderous thug.

I am sad to have missed World Hamster Day, but so glad to have experienced this.

Dammit I don't have enough time to read everything I want to read before I die.

I love good alt text. There's no way the bot could do this one justice, it required human intervention, and this was done very well.

As Jason Stanley, the prominent philosopher of fascism, has made clear in his decision to leave Yale for a university in Ontario, there is now a systemic failure across U.S. academic and civic institutions to stand up to the fascist turn.

BREAKING: 36k people showed up in LA for Bernie and AOC’s rally. In the off year. Americans are pissed — and anyone ignoring that is making a big mistake.

No fucking way!

Revealing just how selectively this administration respects national sovereignty. With Canada and Greenland, Trump threatens invasion enthusiastically. With El Salvador, Trump sees sovereignty as sacrosanct.

in honour of it being four years since i started writing it; here is the reworked version i shared for disability pride month. talking about 504 sit in & Deaf President Now!, in the context of how disability history is forgotten about even within history spaces.

I made up my mind that if it so turned out that we should sleep together, he must undress and get into bed before I did.

Letting Reps with newborns vote remotely is pro-family, Speaker Johnson. Thank you, @pettersen.house.gov, for leading this movement, not just for you and your generation, but for Sam and his.

Concentration camps. That’s what they are talking about.

Having transferred all trans women in federal prison to men’s prisons — subjecting them to rape & other dehumanization — they’re now trying to force states to do the same. Their casual cruelty is endless.

They’re now saying that if any trans athletes compete in a state, every penny of the state’s federal education funds is forfeited. It’s so clearly illegal. Good on Maine for fighting back. If states cave on this, 50 more demands will follow. That’s how authoritarians roll. You have to tell them no.

i knew someone once who said speeding was ok, there was just a speeding tax as in, getting speeding tickets every now and then when he got caught speeding i thought about that a long time after. how unfair the world is, how not community centered rich people can be

What's the closest thing we have now to the Black Panther party to donate to?

I was jolted awake in the SFBay Area about 5:45 AM by what seemed like an #earthquake, but of which the USGS gas no record.

In San Francisco now, but starting the rest of the world tour later in April. Go! You’ve never seen a Hamlet like this. Beautifully adapted for a one-woman show. (2 hours, not 4). Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are hysterical. But don’t worry, everyone still dies at the end

Not a single time in this article glorifying the need for sprawl to address the US's affordable housing crisis is there a mention of the vast transportation costs of sprawling living patterns. Nor is there mention of the fact that sprawl is directly linked to disinvestment in urban cores.

What a grim paragraph www.nytimes.com/2025/04/10/u...

You asked us many questions about immigration detention: Why did sheriffs become such huge players in detaining immigrants?Who is making money off of this? Can local governments stall detention efforts? Bolts invited an expert historian to answer you. boltsmag.org/the-pas...

I love that I can just focus on taking action, sidewalk chalk or texting other people about it or catching up on my own education, teaching my child. It's just the day of action, not a focused, unified one.

We have received clarification for April 19th! @50501movement.bsky.social has posted that April 19th is a general “day of action.” substack.com/@50501/note/.... This could include protests, meetings, making #CreateToLiberate art, participating in the economic blackout, or any resistance action.

I don't know yet what is near me, If there is a protest close to me that is safe enough for me I will go.

Not all “Hands Off” events were in-person. I attended two virtual events centering chronically ill and disabled people for @motherjones.com, who are terrified about attacks to Medicaid, Section 504, research funding, education and more. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
