"Immigration rights activists have banded together to conduct patrols throughout Los Angeles, and in a few instances, have stopped raids as they were happening. Community Self-Defense Coalition [said] they’ve busted two raids so far..." www.msn.com/en-us/public...

Steve Bannon was always a Nazi, what is the disconnect here?

I want to emphasize: If this administration succeeds which it will if organizations like RAINN just bow to the potential loss of funds without a fight, there won't be organizations like RAINN anymore anyway. That's how tyranny works. Obeying in advance leads to the end, even if it delays it briefly.

The NAACP is re-mixing 1930s-era "don't buy where you can't work" campaigns to confront the neo-segregationists targeting DEI. apnews.com/article/blac...

Autonomous anti-ICE demo called for tomorrow at 4pm, Centre & Duane St (Foley Square)

This fight will not be easy.  What we're dealing with now is one of the worst stress tests our nation has ever endured. But I believe that we will survive.  Do not descend into despair.

'My country is putting me on for a show' was the message of that halftime show, and it gave me goosebumps. The streetlights from the Alright video, the '40 Acres and a Mule' line... He played GNX and Damn. but that show was TPAB all the way down. So many layers of symbolism to unpack.

If we want to stop Elon Musk from destroying our entire society we have to make sure there is never another billionaire. They can't just be taxed out of existence, we tried that in the 60's and 70's and once they retook political power they dismantled everything Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Important reminder, especially for my combative self:

A bunch of artists made it easier to understand Project 2025

I just said out loud to my husband "It's getting dishy in the sink" and I'm never referring to a sink full of dishes in any other way ever again.

Activism works. One DOGGIE down.

- racist DOGE guy (redundant) canned - federal judge upholds birthright citizenship - another judge blocks voluntary resignation - NY state going to court over treasury business - patel put on ice for at least a week

I am really frustrated that the press is discussing the destruction of USAID as something that has happened rather than an illegal action that will likely be undone in two weeks when courts tell the world that it was illegal.

"Pro-immigrant groups are calling for a general strike on Super Bowl Sunday in Philadelphia in order to show how important immigrants are to the regional economy." #Philadelphia whyy.org/articles/phi...

All of the Republicans who for years railed about "unelected bureaucrats" destroying the government are awfully quiet as an unelected bureaucrat destroys the government.

If you are someone who takes refuge in thinking & reading (hello team!) here's a paper a friend gave me today. I appreciate the framing and suspect I will enjoy reading this - "Critical Ignoring as a Core Competence for Digital Citizens" journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Some direct action we can all do.

I know it's been a thousand years since 2020 but how have people forgotten how badly Trump loves to gaslight us that they're ready to believe he saved Tiktok? When the bully gives you back the lunch money he punched you in the gut to steal, he's not buying you lunch.

There is an emerging conventional wisdom that resistance to Trump went too far and I am going to lose my mind. www.bostonglobe.com/2025/01/19/o...

"OptumRx, the group’s pharmacy benefit manager, along with its two main peers, Express Scripts and CVS Caremark Rx, have pocketed an extra $7.3 billion over cost thanks to price gouging, according to the findings of a report by the Federal Trade Commission." Lina Khan really is That Girl.

Watching the Duolingo widget grow more unhinged with each day I don't log in was really fun up until now.

we must remember anita bryant as she lived

I saw someone say "scratch a class reductionist and you'll find a fascist" which is so true and then I looked at the person they were talking about and she had a profile pic that said "I ❤️ JKR" and I laughed because of course it was a TERF pretending to be a Marxist.

Taco Bell has brought back the Gordita Supreme from the 90s. Coincidentally my nickname in the 90s was Gordita Supreme.

This is not going to be a repeat of 2016-2020. It will be better, it will be worse, but most of all it will be *different.* Here are things I want every single person to keep in mind as we head into round 2 of a Trump admin. 🧵

allowing worms to eat my brain to become more respected in society

it's surreal when the scrappy little broken posting website that you've been using for over a year suddenly becomes a household name. every "why are you even on there it's dead and still stay niche forever until it closes" person is crawling their way back now that it's cool. wild

When I respond "good" to something anyone says, please know that inside my head I'm saying it in character as Grumpy Cat.

A friend just told me about the October Slide where chronic illness gets worse as we transition into Autumn and y'all, I just thought all these years it was a trauma response because my Dad died at the end of October. Trying to reframe the past 25 Octobers and all I hear in my head is static

I wanna be clear. I want a free Palestine. I believe the Israeli govt has created an open air prison and an apartheid system. But if you are telling me things like “what are the supposed to do” or even applauding this as a strike on Israel what I’m hearing is you would murder kids.

Our statement.

I'm really tired of people thinking war crimes are good if the right group commits them. War is always bad. War crimes are always bad. So many innocent people get tortured, raped, murdered. U don't have to support an occupation to know its fucked to be gleeful about death.

I made this account because I needed to get away from that other app and from Facebook but now I'm remembering that all social media fuels the existential dread so that's fun for me.
