What she said.

„Ich hatte schon Influenza, ich bin damit durch.“ Sorry, leider falsch. Korrekt wäre „Wer A sagt, muss auch B sagen“. Leider schützt eine Infektion mit Influenza A nicht vor einer Infektion mit Influenza B. Die Immunschwäche in den Wochen danach kommt jeweils gratis on top. #ImpfenSchützt

Rather than violate their oath or comply with Musk’s illegal requests, 21 civil service employees resigned today from Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (formerly the United States Digital Service), stating they would not use their technical expertise to dismantle critical public services.

CYBERBULLY YOUR POLITICIANS LIKE YOU BULLIED SEGA FOR UGLY SONIC

You don't have to answer every question, but please lend your voice. Don't let AI continue to erode the protections for creators and their work!

Oh no. So sad.

This is your regular reminder that government mandated backdoors for end-to-end encrypted comms are bullshit, make everyone less safe, and should be resisted at maximum volume.

This goes beyond sports. This is terrifying.

Elon’s Incels and Project 2025 will cost us trillions

Wow those nonconfrontational savvy behind-the-scenes negotiations to address the White House blackballing the AP really paid off huh

Talk is cheap, GOP senators. Start voting against Trump’s nominees and agenda, or sit down and stop wasting everyone’s time and attention.

STAPH?! Yikes!!!

Trump’s refusal to comply with court orders is, without question, an abuse of power and an impeachable offense. We must demand that our Members of Congress follow the mandate of their oath and call for impeachment proceedings now against this lawless president. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/02/25/n... 1/

Make Nazis afraid to salute in public again

If you send an email to council @ Seattle . Gov it goes to the whole council. Tell them you want to legalize social housing every single plot of land that is legal under the Alternative 5 EIS — if they studied if it was possible then we need the zoning map to make it legal.

I think this post really underlines the extent to which these people A. don't understand anything about what things actually cost and B. hate the concept of people actually having and enjoying things. Like A. Bitch at $25,000 YOU CAN'T AFFORD RENT Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

I honestly think we just need more direct action

Uplifting another protest in Orlando, this time on Feb 17th at 12:00pm. I’ll be in Tallahassee but plz spread the word!

The Kremlin-linked Donald Trump blackmailed Ukraine (again), threatening to withhold aid unless it provides him and his corporate oligarchs with $500B in rare earth material or equivalent contracts. Hours later he praised Russia. 90% of US Ukraine aid is already reimbursed before delivery. #OpCanary

It was never about “free speech.”

Alejandra shows us an orange she just harvested in Kern County. She tells us: we are paid by what we pick . The below box we fill weighs around 1,000 lbs. We are paid $26 per box. #WeFeedYou

PLEASE BOOST AND SHARE! One of my disabled trans graduate students needs help with relocation expenses to a state that isn't trying to kill her!! She's trying to stay anonymous so her university doesn't penalize her (hence no gofundme), but you can Venmo her directly: @WanderingScholar

An important PSA 🙌🏻

Ugh

Fuck Google. I'm stuck with it due to Android, but I'm definitely using less Google products, and using the ones I do use less frequently. Get fucked, bootlickers.

Girlfriend approved a budget with anti-transness yet said this meeting with RFKJR was "troubling," aka understatement of the year. Wake the fuck up, Murray.

This is stupid. They're supposed to be there FOR the people. Obviously, if they're getting hounded, they need to do more.

Call to Action: Nationwide General Strike incoming. At least 11 million people are needed to pledge, that's nearly 3.5% of the US population. When the number hits 11 million it's time to strike. Spread widely. Pledge today: generalstrikeus.com #3E #GSUS #USprotests

If you can order him to stop minting pennies, you can order him to start printing the checks that Congress authorized.

A swastika t-shirt is the only item on the Yeezy website. Powered by Shopify. It's not the first time Shopify has powered stores selling items with Swastikas. I've reached out to them about this before, and they kept powering the stores. The only thing they changed, eventually, was their rules.

Can these representatives please actually stop Elon fucking Musk who NOBODY FUCKING VOTED FOR from doing illegal shit in our government I feel like I’m losing my god damned mind.

Google Calendar has removed key cultural events from their site including: • Pride Month • Black History Month • Holocaust Remembrance Day • Jewish Heritage • Hispanic Heritage • Indigenous People Month

OH NO

for my pals with apple products

Israel’s ass has literally NEVERRR followed the terms of ceasefires or those “humanitarian pauses” they stay killing ppl regardless and they keep getting away w it.

the “administrative state” in practice is a lot of very hard working, practically anonymous people doing the thankless work of making this country run and a drug-addled dipshit is slandering them in order to steal our money for himself

The culture of compliance is going to doom us all

Section 504 prohibits discrimination against disabled people & guarantees equal access to anything (services, programs, buildings, etc.) that receives federal funding. It paved the way for the ADA. The sit-in that got it passed is an extraordinary moment in US history. I am incandescent with rage.

fanfiction is born out of love and genuine excitement by a fan. it’s built on community, passion, deranged author’s notes. AI can’t understand emotion therefore AI CAN NOT WRITE FANFICTION. get that shit away from ao3.

Update: 15 confirmed cases. Health officials are racing to offer vaccines to unvaccinated children, they're operating a mobile unit to screen for cases, pre-treating exposed infants. Schools & hospitals are on alert. Measles outbreaks are v hard to contain. A totally preventable situation.

Courageous protestors many of which are federal employees challenged Trump and Musk’s dismantling of government and the #CFPB .( @marjhalperin.bsky.social )

I feel like karma delivered the beatdown against the Chiefs as much as the Eagles did. For a million reasons, they earned that.

I have seen people get thrown face-down onto a hard floor for failing to follow a judge's orders. I have seen people sent to Rikers Island for refusing to follow a judge's order. Courts have plenty of hard power. But they only have practice using it against poor people.

reading this and I think most people—even people who think Musk is pretty far gone—don't fully understand the extent to which he is gone. diving into his feed for an extended period of time is a truly horrifying experience that's even a lot critical news-speak does not really capture.
