so like the "rural trump voters still deserve mail service" thing goes hand in hand with "don't misgender people even if they're assholes" and "the unhoused guy who street harassed you still deserves housing" and "your cousin who stole 5k from his parents still deserves affordable psych meds" etc

Portland folks should follow the St. John's food share, always a great resource

it makes sense that I'm nonbinary. my mom is a woman and my dad is a man. I got a bit of both . it's simply genetics

The IRS is expected to fire upwards of 6,000 employees as early as today. This will mean fewer audits for rich tax dodgers. According to U.S. Treasury estimates, the top 1% underpay their taxes by $163 billion every year.

No human being is illegal. Correct people when you hear them call human beings illegal. Being undocumented is not a criminal offense, its a civil offense. On par with getting a parking ticket. Can you imagine being detained against your will for an undetermined amount of time for a parking ticket?

The shift in how NPR is framing stories about immigrants is so disturbing "Refused to be repatriated"? Excuse me? These people are asylum seekers. They are fleeing their home countries because they know they will be killed or imprisoned there. This framing is fucked. NPR is fucked.

FYI for fellow kitty parents:

Black and white college students went to MISSISSIPPI in 1964 to register people to vote. They got shot at, bombed, beaten and killed. These pampered fucks need to take accountability and act.

i wonder what this is manufacturing consent for

They arrived at the United States border from around the world, hoping to seek asylum. Instead, they were detained, shackled and flown by the U.S. military to a faraway country, Panama. Our exclusive look at a new front in Pres. Trump’s immigration crackdown:

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME Congress didn’t pass a law requiring NIH-funded trials to include women until 1993. Drug trials with government funding only started including women in the NINETIES And that’s only drug trials! And not ones with private funding! Health research FAMOUSLY excludes women.

disk horse liked something i said to it 🥲 i feel like i've witnessed a mythical creauture in motion

I think that we should stop framing it as ‘we voted for fascism’. No we did not. It’s not that simple. There is a thing at play where we have spent decades presented with an illusion of choice while having our influence on systematically government eroded.
