Tesla is recalling nearly 380,000 vehicles in the US over a power steering assist failure that could increase steering effort and potentially raise the risk of a crash.

“We had to erase trans people or we couldn’t get our federal funding” Fuck the federal funding. You fight, you sue, you do not become complicit in our mass erasure. We are all in this together, and we all go down together. I will not allow us to be jettisoned or erased.

If you care about your disabled friends having access to basic rights, PLEASE read up on this & contact your AG before Feb 25 - especially if you're in one of the 17 states in the lawsuit but even if you're not asking your AG to support 504 and push back is good 🤍♿ #disability

We’re still in a global pandemic. The threat of Covid has not passed. We’re seeing an increase in bird flu, measles, TB & more. Public health has been dying a slow & painful death for years. We are on our own. The good news? Masks work for more than just Covid! My complete guide to respirators 👇🏼

BREAKING — States attorneys general lead by @newyorkstateag.bsky.social were just granted a preliminary injunction in their case against DOGE. The team cannot access Treasury Department payment systems or data while the lawsuit proceeds. Major.

For Black History Month, I bring you this. Everything they're trying to cover up, all the history they're trying to erase, this is at the root of it. I encourage you to study it. Sit with it. Especially if you grew up here, and/or, like me, you have slavers among your ancestors.

Welcome to today's episode of Shut The Fuck Up Friday! Check out this video for some tips from a local lawyer for those of you headed out to the streets to protest. You're a target of the state when you take action. NEVER talk to police & always STFU! Full video in thread👇

I propose that TexMex food be renamed Mexicois food, a portmanteau of Mexican and Quebecois. Leaders of Mexico and Canada shall institute a transitional plan to incorporate traditional Canadian and Mexican elements and divest any elements of American cuisine.

When ordered by Nazis to give lists of disabled people by disability severity, some doctors sent back exaggerated data to protect patients from forced work They didn't know that the "most disabled" were to be killed first The moral here isn't to tell the truth It's to never co-operate with Nazis

A judge in Clarksdale, Mississippi, ordered a newspaper this week to remove an editorial, so Ohio’s Scioto Valley Guardian is publishing it. Secrecy, deception erode public trust:

Happening now: protesters are outside the Fine Arts Building on Michigan Avenue in downtown Chicago this evening. People are in line to see House of Reps Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries for an event tonight promoting his recently released book. Crowd chanting at them, "we don't need a book tour!"

Why have one pair of guillotine earrings when you can have two?

A lot of us are scared right now, there is a lot of awful going on. What do you do when faced with fear, how do you cope? Do you have anything you would recommend other people do if they are scared? How do you find comfort and joy while you are frightened?

NEW: On Section 504. "Attacks on any one group will be used as a wedge to attack all of us. You may not personally know any trans people, and you may even be uncomfortable with the idea ... but letting this attack go forward will eventually hurt you and the things you love, too." /1

This was an experiment to see if I could keep up with the Trump zone-flooding all week, compile it, and then, in some form, reproduce it as a thing that a person could read, once, and be basically up to date on what those fucking guys had done that week: shellsinanorange.blog/2025/02/16/a...

Your horoscope for today: Be like a goat - eat what you want, climb where you want, and headbutt anyone who needs it. Let no one rule you.

This was great and I really appreciated Margaret on firearms: tools with a place, but having/using them is “one of the most complicated ethical decisions you’ll ever make in your life,” and while you are upset and panicking is not the time to make that decision

The bird flu we're dealing with has "mortality up to 90% to 100% in chickens, often within 48 hours" according to the CDC. It is extremely lethal to birds (and cats!) www.cdc.gov/bird-flu/vir...

Good morning, everything is awful and I'm working on an article about it but I'd also like you to know that TikTok keeps showing me this livestream called "Crashout Kermit" that's just Kermit lying in bed listening to emo and chugging vodka straight from the bottle
