Timeline cleanse 🌞

This development is a horrifying and further escalation of the very topic I wrote about yesterday evening: The Trump administration’s move from governmental changes to individual attacks focused on political opponents. www.lawdork.com/p/trump-test...

they’re disappearing dissidents, i do not want to see one fucking sentence in your little op ed about “the illiberal left” or “the techniques of wokeness being worryingly exercised by the state” i swear to god

I’m doing my part 🏳️‍⚧️🫡

willem dafoe in movies he wasn’t in: thread

Feels like it's time to repost this

This list is so long and taking up so much real estate in his speech it’s almost like they want to distract from their massive cuts to Medicaid

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.

15 February 1890 | A Polish woman, Aniela Kucharska, was born in Rogatka. She worked on a farm. In #Auschwitz from 5 February 1943. No. 34430 She perished in the camp on 4 March 1943.

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...
