another great example along with Wired and Teen Vogue of how real journalism these days can be a lot braver at outlets where no one is trying to get in good with the White House press secretary they’re out here with us, reporting on what’s happening to us all, instead of trying to get inside access

Hey: If you made it through the week, and you tried to do some things to help other people — large or small — where you could, and you need to hear it, I’m here to tell you thank you. Get some rest. Figure out today, then figure out tomorrow.

I don't think we're talking enough about the fact that the pressure to remove DEI from science means women die.

Medicaid is not for sale. NASA is not for sale. The Post Office is not for sale. America is not for sale. We have an obligation to resist kings. We outnumber them. And they can be overwhelmed.

Not surprised that it's community colleges that are fighting back. Community colleges serve the greatest number of people facing systemic barriers. A large percentage of community college students are the first in their family to attend college.

Dr. King said of all the inequalities, inequality in healthcare is the most shocking and inhumane. The proposal by MAGA extremists to cut YOUR Medicaid to give the wealthiest Americans a tax cut is inhumane. Light up those phone lines! (202) 224-3121 #DontCutMyMedicaid

"People sometimes present the Nazis as a horror because they were uniquely evil and headed a uniquely oppressive and totalizing regime. But often the most chilling thing about Nazi Germany is that it really wasn’t a fantasy movie dystopia populated by supervillains. The Nazis were just people."

The disability community has lost another member & we’re heartbroken Please listen to us. Fight with us and for us before it’s too late I’m sick of seeing people like Fiqah, Tinu & Heather plead for months (or years) for help & then pass away. They deserved better. We all do.

Was just having this discussion on how not every form of rebellion needs every person to be boots on the ground. You need community organizers, people making articles, those that provide safety nets. Revolution also needs to be inclusive

This is your regular reminder that there are as many ways to protest as there are people in the world. No one gets to tell anyone that what they are capable of isn't useful.

Thank you, @sfdirewolf.bsky.social To equate organizing with certain kinds of physical movement is to devalue disability and d/Disabled people's contributions. Just because I am sometimes physically unable to get out of bed or leave the house doesn't make me a "passive consumer." #Ableism
