Gov. Mills: I’ll comply with the state and federal laws Trump: We are the federal law. You better do it because you’re not going to get any federal funds. Gov Mills: See you in court

Many thanks to the “liberal zionists” who feared for their safety during Palestinian rights protests. We’re facing actual danger now, and not just Jewish folks. Just ridiculous. And I don’t discount the presence of antisemitism on the left, but it’s not *anywhere* as scary as this.

I've never seen so many mobilizations, rallies and actions, honestly. They're happening pretty constantly, in cities but also in small towns and in every single state. They're not getting tons of coverage, but they're happening, and they're growing. Join one, or start one, you're not alone in this.

Anna May Wong for Piccadilly (1929).

"These babies, this mother, this elder should have lived, no matter what. There is nothing that justifies their deaths. And it is simultaneously true that the Palestinian infants, toddlers, children murdered in bombings, by freezing, by hunger do not matter less than these babies."

Anna May Wong, "The Thief of Bagdad", 1924.

Cool to occasionally think “nice, I didn’t think they had it in them” in contrast with the more common “Jesus, I knew they weren’t great but this is embarrassing.”

“When Jewish Voice for Peace and similar organizations talk about how Zionism is ultimately harmful to Jewish people, too, here's a pretty firm example of it. Supporting Israel means never having to admit that you're wrong.”

What the actual fuck?! America, it’s time to rise. When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty!

Seen in Brooklyn this AM: an egged cybertruck with a bag of dogshit and also unbagged dogshit

A lot of locals were very surprised to get the notice from the senior center that they just lost a huge chunk of their meals on wheels funding. As this shit starts hitting people closer to home it’s going to be pretty radicalizing! I had a lot of raging grannies (complimentary) blowing up my phone.

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

It’s been FOUR HOURS. In that time we’ve raised nearly $14,000 to help trans youth in the South access safety and healthcare and stability!!! Well done everyone and let’s keep it going!!

JD Vance is so nauseatingly unlikeable that he’s literally dragging down the AfD’s approval rating

My friend has some jewelry in this auction fundraiser! Many amazing items 🤩

Oh, look what normal countries do when a former president leads a far right coup attempt.

Every union should be echoing this statement.

one of the really fundamental unspoken US ideas for a long time was that men above a certain social level should never face consequences. this bought us Trump 2 in two ways, both in the failure to punish him and in the rage about MeToo breaking this rule

Tesla sales are crashing in Europe.

“pro-natalism” is the belief that “you” need to have kids if and only if “you” are part of the preferred breeding stock. the pro-natalists are never more than one phrase away from making the racism and xenophobia explicit.

The politicians behind mask bans are holed up in their offices, fully vaxxed, with access to the world’s best healthcare. But they want the “common people” too sick to protest, too fatigued to fight back, and kept in the dark when it comes to public health threats. Protect yourself accordingly.

Kabosu did not die to become a symbol of modern-day American fascism. You deserved so much better sweetheart

On the heels of multiple airplane disasters, including one less than a month ago that killed 67 people, and after years of warnings about our understaffed air traffic control system, Trump has begun firing hundreds of FAA air traffic control workers. apnews.com/article/doge...

Does this qualify as an emergency yet or should we check the polling in swing districts first

Elon Musk’s staffers have been going through data from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), which oversees healthcare coverage for over 160 million people through Medicare, Medicaid, the Children’s Health Insurance Program, and the Health Insurance Marketplace.

“We can drive slowly on grass for a few minutes without exploding” isn’t the flex they think it is

Sheryl Crow: “My parents always said you are who you hang out with. There comes a time when you have to decide who you are willing to align with. So long Tesla. Money donated to NPR, which is under threat by President Musk, in hopes the truth will…find its way to those willing to know [it].”
