Someone please be proud of me, I am being Very Brave getting my COVID and flu shots today. (If you know me and my needle phobia, you know this is a Very Big Deal, yes, every single time, even though I do it every year, and I deserve a Little Treat when it's over.)

Truly can't help but wonder how France would be protesting right now under the circumstances the US is in. (Not in a guillotines/French Revolution way, just in a "the French do not fuck around with their protests, they send a CLEAR message and often get shit done" way.)

ANYWAY if you're not already calling your representatives you should be. If you're in a blue district, make sure your reps know what they need to do to fight this (or thank them if they're already doing it). If you're in a red district, make sure your reps know they're losing votes for not fighting.

As disheartening as the constant barrage of catastrophes is, I think it's even more disheartening to see masses of people pretend it's not happening, denying what's right in front of their faces. How the hell do you reach people who refuse to accept reality?

I posted about the programs that are being cut, have been cut, or are about to be cut, and a Republican in my family told me I had to provide sources and they "couldn't be liberal ones." I have actual shit to do besides teach a nearly 40 year old man how to look up sources but even if I didn't...

Every ten minutes here is like: - Trump doubles student debt - Musk now has keys to your house and is in your bathroom doing plumbing drugs - Three planes just crashed - Trump signs EO making women illegal - Face-melted Nazi from Indiana Jones now in charge of CIA - Meteor not arriving fast enough

I saw Macbeth featuring David Tennant today, the one that was recorded for cinema in London, and oh my GOD it was good. I wish I could watch it at least three more times.

Washington, D.C. yesterday. "Shut down the Senate, Shut down the Senate." Chanted for hours. More massive #USprotests, ongoing. Sources here report, "Millions of people are getting ready as we speak to take this country back and save the USA. Their days are numbered. Stay tuned." #3E

Genuine question: When you join the military you take an oath to protect your country from threats foreign and domestic, and to obey the orders of the President. When the orders of the President pose a domestic threat to your country, which part of that oath do you follow?

Hi, I am @motherjones.com' disability reporter. In the following weeks, I am very interested in hearing how tariff nonsense impacts getting your meds and medical equipment. My email to get in touch is [email protected]. Reposts appreciated.

I'm not donating to your political party if all you're going to do is post. I can do that for free. I will donate if you have a project to resurrect FDR and give him a gun

This post is getting an unexpected amount of traffic & actually making some money. I'm going to donate at least 1/3 of what I make on it to trans rights orgs. The first donation I have planned is to @pointofpride.bsky.social. Does anyone have suggestions of other orgs I can support?

Wired is, quite simply, doing the most comprehensive and important journalism of this administration so far.

each time I feel myself starting to panic about this godforsaken country, I try to take action. The action itself brings calm, proving to my body that hope is a verb, etc. calling my reps takes minutes, for instance, & the 5 calls app makes it especially easy: apps.apple.com/us/app/5-cal...

What's the inverse of the so-called "DEI hire?" Is there a name for an able-bodied cishet white man who only got the job because a more qualified candidate got passed up for being disabled, queer, female, and/or a POC?
