Mr. Antiwar President has us inches away from a Civil War at home and a nuclear war abroad in defense of an ally that is starting random hot regional wars to detract from its ongoing genocide. I’m sure all of this will just naturally cool off.

Covid is a social justice issue. Respirators cost money. HEPA filters cost money. Tests cost money. Vaccines cost money. Paid time off is rare. Affordable child care is non existent Covid disproportionately impacts those who are already the most marginalized Mask up & protect your community

Not sure about anyone else but I’ve felt incredibly unsafe in this country and anxious since Jan 20th. Shit is stressful!

I am once again asking you, all of you, to use alt text in your posts. Make it a habit. Turn on the setting in your options. Make your shit accessible.

Hong Kong has been urged to impose limits on unsecured personal loans to combat "excessive borrowing" among migrant domestic workers and teens. In full: buff.ly/7AzdEWQ

Hortman’s kids had to put down their dog after the MAGA assassin shot it yesterday. I do hope there is a hell for Boelter

It is not easy being an empath right now with the state of the world and America. I’m emotionally drained every day. Things are so sad and bleak. Given the alternative, though, I guess I’d rather feel more than less.

Another protest sign I saw online that made me laugh and laugh— Hit him where it hurts! 😆

Leave it to the cops, if nobody is rioting they will.

No one should risk getting sicker just by trying to access healthcare. It’s time to demand better. Need tips on how to request your medical providers mask for your appointments? Check out our guide here, with email & call examples to make things easier. www.citizenscovid.com/covidsafemed...

I just got back home to finally sit down and watch the parade footage and it’s 100x more embarrassing than I expected. I totally forgot the weak nations that do these spend decades perfecting them. It looked like if Fyre festival did North Korea.

The population of America is around 340.1 million, so it’s pretty disturbing that we are on the brink of a dictatorship and only just over 10 million showed up to protest and defend democracy…we are tanked if we don’t do better. #nokings

Honestly exhausted at seeing so many people who claim to care about social justice and their communities not masking up at protests today. COVID causes permanent organ damage and disability even when people are vaccinated (in kids too) and a new variant is here. Wake up people.

i'm surprised by how low energy and farcical that whole military parade situation was. I was expecting Moscow 1945 and we got Spirit Halloween instead.

There were numerous people at my local protest with Don’t Tread on me flags and shirts. Some had on helmets and were wearing goggles. One was handing out free red bulls, like WTF...

Philly showin' up today

The first civilian detained by Marines in Los Angeles was a Black man. You can’t ignore that this reflects a pattern of unequal treatment based on skin color. Racial profiling is illegal and unconstitutional. Don’t let this be buried under the wave of lawless behavior coming from Trump’s regime.

This damn Sinners is the best damn movie I've seen in years. I see the hype, I see why people have watched and watched it again and again.

We streamed Sinners tonight and holy shit balls was that amazing.

Cory Booker is on fire today about Padilla. Worth a watch. www.youtube.com/watch?v=M7La...

Welcome to WWIII everyone, as if this week wasn’t already too much.

If they can handcuff a U.S. Senator—for asking a question—what chance does an ordinary citizen stand? This isn’t just overreach; it’s authoritarianism, raw and undisguised. We should all be horrified. If this is how they treat power, imagine the brutality reserved for the powerless.

A terrifying escalation:

Really? How about because dumb parents are letting their kids get infected numerous times per year and take zero prevention measures to stop it...duh. www.newsweek.com/why-are-so-m...

Everyone is under reacting to what is happening. If this weak protest response and media normalization of fascism is how we are playing this they will take this country like a flame to butter.

leftists: that thing you teach us in school to be terrified of is happening historians: that thing is definitely happening star wars: here is a beat-for-beat breakdown of how the thing happens, but with pew pew lasers. we know you watched it news outlets: these protesters are out of control

They are paying people to attend TACOS fake parade #trumpparade #magacukt #resist #fascistgop washingtondc.craigslist.org/doc/tlg/d/wa...

Every flashbang could instead be a meal for a poor kid. Every hotel room for a National Guardsman deployed to fire at our neighbors could house a homeless vet. Every "less-than-lethal" bullet pulled from a journalist's eye could be already needed healthcare for anyone else. All of this is a choice.
