Pisses me off that we’re stardust with the gift of conscious existence and having to spend our time on all this bullshit.

Many are asking what should we do now? “We use our power, organize, mobilize, educate…the American story will not be written by who occupies the White House or by the wealthiest among us…it will be written by you, by ‘we the people.’” -fmr VP Kamala Harris receiving the NAACP Chairman’s Award.

trans women will be raped to death. they know this will happen. this is a crucial part of the steps to our genocide.

You know you want some Girl Scout cookies. Buy here!

“We have an obligation to resist kings, we have an obligation to resist oligarchs.”

People experiencing pregnancy loss in states with abortion bans told us they wished they had known what to expect and how to advocate for themselves. We created this guide for anyone who finds themselves in the same position.

Thank you. In the overwhelming torrent of disinformation it’s hard to know who is standing up; but I know and trust you, so I trust who you are recommending. #NAFO lets us rally to those fighting for what is right!

100% and I need everyone to understand right now that there is only one solution: people need to start getting their asses kicked in public again

The poster child for white male mediocrity, Pete Hegseth, is firing qualified Black men and women from the military.

So if you criticize Elon Musk, Trump’s DOJ will send you this letter. Members of Congress must have the right to forcefully oppose the Trump Administration. I will not be silenced.

If I had a band or a label, I would do a punk cover of "No More Kings" from Schoolhouse Rock. And then I would gather a bunch of people to write a whole album of next-generation Schoolhouse Rock songs, with songs about Social Security and Medicaid and NOAA. I am not kidding in the least.

The whole thread

acknowledging the history and existence of black people in america is not dei; it is not diversity; it is describing what is in front of you.

Gonna start asking my students if they used “Cat I farted”

The right wing woman is not insincere in her politics, but she *is* tactical: she believes that sexual and reproductive service to right wing men will earn her their protection, affection, and material support. She is wrong.

As of yesterday, there were 58 reported cases of measles in Texas. 13 of which were hospitalized. Tens of thousands of dollars racked up in medical bills. (40k?) A one night stay at hospital in TX averages about $3,000 One MMR vaccine in TX averages $100 without insurance with a private doctor.

Calling yourself a king doesn’t make you king. Killing your brother and marrying his wife only to be haunted by his ghost and poisoned by his son before you manage to kill him with the poisoned blade and no one is left but some bloke named Horatio is how you become king

DOGE = Department of Gross Errors

This is the way ❤️

Calling yourself a king doesnt make you a king. Delivering an all-time banger of a speech on St. Crispin’s Day does.

“put it on his fucking gravestone”

In case you were looking to backup your kindle books (since Amazon is removing the option to download them on the 26th), this script works quite well in minimizing the click-pain of downloading them individually: gist.github.com/spf13/1fee1e...

It was an honor to sign the guest book in the home of Anne Frank. I was here as a younger man and thought about her life as a dark chapter of history. Today, I can’t help but think of her story as one of caution. Our world is fragile, and it’s incumbent on us not to break it.

These are some hard truths today

On Wednesdays, we wear pink.

These are the people disassembling our country right now. Names and bio. They can be targeted. projects.propublica.org/elon-musk-do...

You aren’t seeing Black folks at protests because we know Trump will use us as an excuse to start violence—to justify martial law. Black folks, stay home. Be in peace. Our time will come. Everyone else, peacefully protest, but understand we won’t be human shields or targets! Don’t ask that of us.

If I harm myself because I don't have access to my psychiatric medication, politicize the fuck out of this. My life may not be viewed as valuable, but maybe my death would help someone else survive.

Zelenskyy is absolutely correct.

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

but don't worry, a Nazi has all your tax info and the deranged scion of Bobby Kennedy will make sure you can sweat your way to mental health and also not having asthma
