Something important to remember is that mass boycotts during the Civil Rights movement were well organized & involved more than just "not using xyz" it involved community planning so people could boycott & still get their needs met. We need to be connected or we won't survive ❤️

‘So far this year about two children a week have been killed’ in the West Bank. ‘What sets Ayman al-Hammouni’s case apart is the clarity of the evidence, illustrated by footage from two security cameras, that tells the story of the child’s last moments’ www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...

Implying straight men doing evil things are only doing what they’re doing are secretly gay is horribly homophobic and I’m tired of saying it

We just received word that the DOJ has begun removing data detailing criminal charges and convictions related to Trump loyalists. This started with records from the January 6th insurrection, but additional records are now being erased. We will keep you updated once we have more info.

I’m shocked, I tell you. Shocked.

The "NOT STEPPING DOWN" Playbook: 🍊💩🤡 openly touted a third term at CPAC, calling himself King, desperate to cling to power, repeating the same playbook, from Caesar to Putin. In my latest Substack, I mapped these steps & conditions into a comprehensive table and analysis: tinyurl.com/2433tm2h

The Trump administration is trying to force 600,000 Venezuelans out of the U.S.—days after calling them ‘dirtbags.’ This racist, unconstitutional decision must be stopped. I’m standing with immigrants and demanding justice. Join me. #ProtectTPS #TPSjustice

He’s right again.

If RFK wants to meaningfully decrease rates of depression, he can support paid family and maternity leave, equal pay for women, universal healthcare, and fully funded public schools. Stigmatizing medication that treats the mental impact of a country that devalues your existence won’t cut it.

Our team reviewed the entire DOGE website. Nothing they have identified constitutes evidence of fraud or corruption—both of which are crimes. Feel free to audit us. The funds were allotted by Congress, and OIGs regularly reviewed expenditures for fraud.

"[For the Right], D.E.I...is the mere presence of a woman or nonwhite person or disabled or transgender person in any high-skilled, high-status position. And their alternative isn’t some heretofore unknown standard of merit; it is the reintroduction of something like segregation." (gift link)

What you mean is they are fucking lies. Hundreds of them. — Claims about USAID funding are spreading online. Many are not based on facts apnews.com/article/usai...

Last night Elon Musk moved to kill the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. His team is now inside, and he posted “CFPB RIP 🪦” on X. This agency has saved Americans billions. DOGE isn’t about cutting waste—it’s about dismantling the government so Musk and his billionaire friends can take control.

This is the number for Adult protective services in Washington, DC. (202) 541-3950 Definitely call if you witness elder abuse, including people manipulating elders for their own personal financial gain.

DOJ's memo to criminalize DEIA also means criminalizing Accessibility. That means wheelchair ramps, elevators, language access, hell, even handicapped parking is all deemed illegal. A reminder that the Nazis actively targeted and killed people with disabilities. www.qasimrashid.com/p/ag-bondi-t...

Just so many people thrashing around and I understand that people are disoriented. But if you know that you are lacking clear thinking right now, it's ok to just be silent and to deliberate for a few weeks.

CARTOON OF THE DAY

Some people don't want to hear it but there's no silver bullet to address all that we face. These problems and issues have long roots. This is a marathon. Do what you can within your capacity [with others]. Keep focused and pass the baton when it's time.

Sergeant Gonell @sergeantaqgo.bsky.social sent me this picture. This is his call log. Each call is an automated Dept of "Justice" notification saying "The defendant you testified against is being released from the dept of corrections." Each defendant assaulted him.

I think painting Nazis as inhuman and uniquely grotesque evil for so long has obscured the fact that plenty of them were simply dipshits like him. Nothing special about them. Banality of evil etc. Also it all happens out in the open. It did back then too.

Anyone who says there are only two sexes or genders are scientifically wrong and against the words of Jesus.

What’s the difference between a gov controlling an algorithm, silently eliminating reach for things it doesn’t like, vs the same gov using its power, to demand that the platform remove the things it doesn’t like.? In China they are overt. With TikTok in the US, they control silently

Joe Biden's anti-oligarchy speech tonight was brave & brilliant. It reminded me that white evangelicalism grew hand-in-glove with the 20th century's oligarch class. The uber-wealthy funded fundamentalism as a bulwark against Christian justice and social democracy movements.

"Grounded in fear, hate and falsehoods, U.S. immigration policy calling for mass deportation of millions of people, is not an act of justice but a failure to recognize the sacred worth of every individual." www.umcjustice.org/latest/churc...

1. Did you know that Girl Scouts has, for a long time, accepted trans girls and nonbinary scouts? Trans kids are under attack. Every year, I make a thread of trans and nonbinary girl scouts you can get your cookies from. Lets get our cookies from them this year in solidarity!

I talked to the Black residents of Altadena who say they’ve lost everything but hope. “When you escape tragedy, you say, ‘it could have got me.’ It didn’t. So I’m going to keep on going,” said 83-year-old Walt Butler.

"Even if nativism were somehow supported by logical evidence, data, and reasoned theories (it’s not) — it would still be considered anti-Jesus, because the love of God isn’t logical, data-driven, or reasoned." (2016)

Seeing video’s of families & elders who lost their homes in historic Altadena is heartbreaking. Here is a compiled list of gofundme’s for the displaced Black families of Altadena. docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…

As we head into the final week before the inevitable onslaught of horrifying executive orders, please take a minute to think about what you can do for people who will be directly impacted by those orders in your life. Ask yourself what you will do to support just one specific person. Then scale up.

New: Meta has deleted trans and nonbinary Messenger themes, as well as the blog posts announcing them. Happens the same week that it has changed its rules to allow users to say LGBTQ+ people are "mentally ill" www.404media.co/meta-deletes...

"God is calling you to love your trans siblings, to protest discrimination, and to engage in civil disobedience until every trans person is free to transition without fear of state violence."
