btw, i will tell you this - i have been talking to people all day, and the media is missing, whether intentionally or not, how absolutely, volcanically angry the people who have been fired are, not because they lost their jobs, but because their jobs matter, to us

A little story about repression and why I've never treated arrests as something anyone should do: for those of you who don't remember, Occupy Wall Street was a massive movement that was centered around encampments that popped up in city centers across the US (and Canada and UK) from Sept to Nov 2011

I don’t know who thought that RFK Jr./this administration might be good for the #LongCovid community, that they might actually back up their eugenic statements about improving America’s health and reducing chronic illness with research into our condition. They don’t care. They won’t help.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott and the state’s Republican leadership haven’t uttered a word as Texas universities researching things like cancer, diabetes and Alzheimer’s are about to take a massive hit from the Trump Administration. Why won’t they stand up for Texas?

This is part of the lesson from the 2013 people's filibuster pro-abortion protests in Texas: gumming up the system works. Texas Dems were never going to win the ultimate fight, and there's a lot to say about organizing opportunities lost afterward, but: winning for a day was fuckin great
