If you don’t feel like anything you do matters in this political climate, here’s a list of things you can do for positive impact. You’ll feel more productive because you’re doing something constructive, and it’ll create effective collective action for change. All we have is each other 💜

The trial of an oil company SLAPP suit to literally destroy Greenpeace begins today in N. Dakota. Make no mistake this is the iron fist of petrofascism trying to crush our movements to defend water, climate & Native rights. We must all fight back. Action Link in post below. #ClimateSky

I finally got what's bugged me about all these stories on the crippling of the US govt: all of them speak of "cuts" when, in fact, only Congress can 'cut' funding, and it has done nothing of the sort. The story describes illegal & unconstitutional impoundment, BUT SAYS NOT ONE WORD ABOUT IT

I just downloaded a new web browser and went to sign into Bsky and happened to see among the most popular content, a horrifically prolific nature content scraping account that has nearly 100k followers, so it's time to reshare this block list. ALL of those accounts are theft. BLOCK THEM.

I swear, every time I’m like “ableism is bad, even to awful people” I get such odd pushback from people who think disabled people deserve to suffer directly related to their disability as punishment for their sins.

This is very, very bad. Am working on a write-up, but let’s just say that firing military leaders for blatantly political reasons is wildly inappropriate; firing all the too lawyers is ominous; firing them all at the same time is a terrifying five-alarm fire

Better bluesky tips: 1) Enable “require alt text” in accessibility settings & use alt text properly 2) Reject “follow for follow” schemes; they provide cover for misinfo/disinfo networks 3) Block freely 4) Have a pfp & bio so you don’t look like a bot 5) Share your pronouns via @pronouns.diy

We finally got the MMWR about H5N1 infection chains involving cats in Michigan. Two farmworkers appear to have caught H5N1 from cows/milk and passed it to house cats, who may have passed it to humans. What’s striking here is what we don’t know because humans refused to be tested. 🧪

"The fear had entered us, and rather than our home being a reprieve from that anxiety, it was a space where we had begun to live as closeted a life indoors as we’d learned to live outside." - from Keetje Kuipers' essay for us.

No, the mail is not “the least of our worries.” It’s a fucking important worry. It is the only postal service that delivers to every address. They are only provider of complete mail services for overseas military bases and provide free overseas PO boxes. They help prepare passport apps. Ship meds…

FYI Dems: every air disaster is because of Trump, Musk, and the GOP. This isn't misinformation or exaggeration. It's a fair and necessary analysis of ripping the guts out of complex, proven safety systems. You're not being prudent waiting for NTSB reports, you're helping cover up the root cause.

Gift link. A small unelected, secretive crew now has free access to sensitive private data of everyone. And Musk is already publicly targeting family members of judges who rule against the administration. If this isn’t ringing alarm bells, I don’t know what would. www.nytimes.com/2025/02/21/o...

“But people will eventually accept it, even if it’s unpopular” is a comment I saw so many times this morning. That’s what we call a self-fulfilling prophecy. This is your moment. Galvanize and organize people who are unhappy. Don’t make them feel helpless to stop it by saying no one will stop it.

Public comment is now open for passport gender marker changes. You can go here to go to each of the three proposed passport rules, and submit comment. My suggestion: be unique, argue for trans-inclusive policies, against the constitutionality of the changes, etc. www.reddit.com/r/Passports/...

It's annoying how clearly this is going to play out. They gut the FAA. Therefore, the FAA can't do its job well because it was gutted. Therefore, they say "The FAA sucks, we have to privatize it." which is what Project 2025 wants to do. They're manufacturing the crises for their end goal.
