I can't emphasize enough that the most important thing journalists can do right now is publish exactly this kind of article

Meanwhile in Alberta. Bodily autonomy is not just an issue related to reproductive rights. It also holds implications for disability justice, mental health advocacy, and harm reduction. Huge red flag any time a govt bypasses consent as a matter of policy.

Glad to see my friend, @thetattooedjew.bsky.social, speaking boldly as always for disability justice.

“It’s Not A Bad Thing To Say We’re Interdependent … We’re In The Same Soup” Hand knit and stitched wool 8" x 10" 2025 Alice Wong, prominent and beloved disability justice activist, says in “The Viral Underclass” by Stephen Thrasher (pg. 262-263):

Thank you for going to El Salvador @vanhollen.senate.gov.

attempting to kettle cook potato chips in a cake pan on a pizza stone in my shitty apartment oven. surely this cannot go wrong

AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

The Trump admin has just detained Mohsen Mahdawi, who: –has green card –was Columbia Buddhist club president –saw his best friend shot & killed by Israeli soldier –said "we are against antisemitism because antisemitism is a form of injustice, and injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere"

1 thing I'm not hearing enough about: the El Salvadorian prison requires slave labor from those we sent. Prison, concentration camp, whatever else, it's also a SLAVE CAMP, & Trump brought its owner to the WH to celebrate a **slave camp** during Passover. PASSOVER. Can we please talk about this?

(not my meme, the KLF has been around for a while.) (But I'm also an earnest supporter of this movement for freedom)

Reminders: "Concentration camps" aren't the same as "extermination camps." Both were/are horrific. Most Nazi camps were *outside Germany*, away from the eyes of German citizens. Those trains? Were to, uh, deport the category of people whose lives were deemed unimportant. Never again is now.

sometimes I feel like a dinosaur, cause no one looks anything up anymore 🦕

Nobody is safe. He was a legal. permanent. resident.

if Ritchie fucking Torres can do this and Chris Van Hollen can fly to El Salvador the rest of the Dem caucus can show up too hell, everyone should go on the El Salvador trip now’s the time, folks, this road ends with you in the foreign prison

Trump to Bukele on Salvadoran concentration camps: “Home-growns are next. You’re going to have to build about five more places.”

Barack Obama or Oprah or Beyoncé and Jay-Z or Rihanna could easily solve all of these problems for every single Black museum in the country. When they don’t, that’s a choice. That’s all I’m gonna say

ASAN Calls For End to Police Violence After Cops Kill Autistic Latino Teen Victor Perez: "@autisticadvocacy.org has long maintained that the culture of policing makes police a threat to disabled people in the U.S., especially disabled people of color." autisticadvocacy.org/2025/04/asan... #autism

I can't believe I forgot about this classic book cover -- thank you @vicmmic.bsky.social for bringing attention to literacy with your platform on Game Changer @dropout.tv

even in the darkest moments, there is light. thank you for this buffoonery <3

At city council protesting the violation of the Richmond Education Association’s collective bargaining agreement. If they can violate theirs then theycan violate ours! #campusworkers4democracy

if you see me yelling “i’m fucking scared” out my window, no you don’t

It’s moments like these when we might consider it relevant that the current FBI director who might be charged with investigating this crime appeared eight times on the podcast of Stew Peters, a Christian Nationalist who recently called for a “final solution” to America’s “Jewish problem.”

youtu.be/iy53s5b3xkA New video, in which the Leftist Cooks analyse annoying comments & the nature of insults, explore the idea of children as a disenfranchised cohort, and give an introduction to the fascinating anti-colonial world of philosophical Childism.

GROW UP! Why does everyone hate children. By, well, us.

hello, internet! this is. my whole deal. the whole shebang. everything i’m working at youtu.be/iy53s5b3xkA

As I’ve said, yes, this was their aim all along. That’s why they didn’t just send these people to Gitmo. This is an attempt to find a step beyond Gitmo where the court says, “Well, our hands are tied.” It’s an awful, lawless gambit that must fail, but that is what they want it to be.

I'm so used to bar bathrooms with cutesy signs that I had to stop here and ask myself if I was a Mario or a Wario

All true at once: 1) Some tactics aren't that useful now, especially those relying on standard assumptions about "the way things work." 2) Many genuinely useful tactics seem inadequate. They need to be done anyway. 3) Fascist regimes are far more brittle than they seem. Especially this one.

Touching grass is not enough I need to get stuck in a hollow log

no lies detected. #civilrights

Ambassador Spock modeling the proper “fuck you, make me” response to intimidation tactics. Our current-day institutions could learn a lot from him.

Very informative chart from Washington Post

New Leftist Cooks video is dropping later today. Very excited for you to see this one. Link to premiere below.

what if the president were forced into a clockwork orange type contraption and forced to view schoolhouse rock videos

"Abolish ICE" sounded like a radical demand to Democrats, though ICE itself only dates to 2003. Today, it should be clear to even the most deluded liberals that if you establish institutions for the sole purpose of brutalizing people, authoritarians will inevitably use them to consolidate power.

When you are one hundred percent committed to battling anti-semitism:

My ex’s mother said I was lying when I said that even if I won the lottery, I would continue to work in academia. I feel like it would make my work even better, because I wouldn’t have to worry about how to keep a roof over my head. Obviously UBI is a bit different, but I feel it applies too.

having a nightmare disorder is really highlighting to me how mental healthcare hasn’t progressed past freud in so many ways

In 2020, the #Virginia General Assembly passed my bill defining transition-related care as medically necessary and prohibits health insurers from discriminating against trans people seeking care. That is Virginia law — not an illegal executive order blocked in court nor what this mess claims to be.

"Untrue, impossible, & ableist": We join @autisticadvocacy.org in condemning HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s ignorant, absurd promise that “by September, we will know what has caused the autism epidemic and we will be able to eliminate those exposures.” autisticadvocacy.org/2025/04/trum...

so much of the fascist movement country is supported by the belief that parents own their children and have a right to ensure they turn out a specific way
