My family texts this to each other every month. 💞

We are adaptable, as individuals and as people. But that does not mean we must adapt to oppression, to inequality, to bigotry. Though we may be tempted to go along to get along, sometimes we must choose, as individuals, as people, to fight.

I love this every time I see it

Help REAL people who need it. We can make differences Even in small amounts.

If the situation was hopeless the propaganda wouldn’t be necessary.

This cartoon by @mluckovich.bsky.social is getting banned on Twitter. Because of course it is.

Yes. Give it all back.

The world has never been easier to be a hero in, but these "men need to be heroes" guys pretend they can't find their way to the recruiting office or the animal shelter or anywhere but the fucking gym.

You cannot fire so many people and shutter so many agencies and services and not expect things to start to go very bad very quickly. Our job is to highlight not only the chaos and cruelty of the firings, but also the devastating consequences. The public must turn on this madness and soon.

Just as it did during the rise of the Nazis a century ago, the New York Times is twisting itself in knots to avoid calling fascists fascists. Germany’s AfD is not a “party that downplays Nazis.” It’s a neo-Nazi party.

This is all of Medicaid, by the way. This means people will die. It means disabled kids like my son will lose our extra medical coverage and our waiver funds that help pay for his care. This will devastate the country in ways you cannot imagine. An absolutely hate-filled group of people

It was never about “free speech.”

The Israeli military has expanded its assaults in the occupied West Bank, killing an eight-month-pregnant Palestinian woman during an armed raid in the Nur Shams refugee camp.

The Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor has documented at least 110 Palestinians killed by the Israeli military in the Gaza Strip since the implementation of the ceasefire agreement last month. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/078jbu

The Treasury Department right now. People are turning out against Musk and DOGE staging a takeover of the Treasury’s payment system. This crowd is big. The whole block is packed. “Lock him up,” everyone yells.

As always, slow on the uptake, I'm starting that 6-day star blanket. 😁

“Permanent resettlement” of Gaza’s civilian population is also known as “forcible transfer.” And yes, this form of ethnic cleansing violates international law. It’s a war crime. ihl-databases.icrc.org/en/customary...

musk ruined twitter as a public utility so that he could degrade and void knowledge networks of all kinds. this is a great time to be really abundant in your use of social media for good. write your threads, share what you know, amplify your community. make this place a resource.

Anti science is the real cancel culture

I am so goddamn mad. A friend who’s been FISHING BODIES OUT OF THE POTOMAC appears to be in the Trump purges today.

This.

"If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him someday to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you."- Lyndon B Johnson

The new “Don’t Just Do Nothing: 20 Things You Can Do to Counter Fascism—Yes, You! Yes, Now!” zine makes a great gift for your liberal fam, friends, neighbors & coworkers! Read, print & distro freely! Full text & PDFs on @igd.bsky.social: itsgoingdown.org/dont-just-do...

Yall thought DEI was just about Black jobs and gay pride t-shirts. It's not. Good thing most of this information is housed in retention repository centers across the nation and with the research entities themselves. www.statnews.com/2025/01/23/f...

For folks who say, "Why should I even bother calling my Democratic Senator? They'll vote the right way..." I need you to understand that when Dem electeds try to justify why they're cowering in terror from Trump right now, the VERY FIRST THING THEY CITE is: "no one's calling my office"

It's good that there's a 25% tarriff on imported coffee now. This will incentivize people to purchase American coffee, grown in the New Jersey coffee forests

Being sick isn't so bad with this boy

And it’s Friday! But anyway, it’s always cause for jubilation when Salt and Vinegar Potatoes are #RecipeOfTheDay! www.nigella.com/recipes/salt...
