Stop legitimizing the ADL. It is a hate group.

I hear (h/t @altnps.bsky.social) that the GOP is advising its members to simply not hold town halls. If Members of Congress are too scared of their constituents to go to them - then their constituents should absolutely go to them. Quick thread about that ⬇️

All probationary federal employees at NOAA’s EMC that’s responsible for keeping all US weather model systems running have been fired with 1 hours notice. And that includes me and colleagues. We will not go quietly because we care about the NOAA mission to protect the public.

So that we're clear about this, the Trump administration is not only doing nothing to deport human traffickers, it has literally gone of out its way to IMPORT human traffickers.

The fact that the USA has banned visas for trans people but welcomed rapist Andrew Tate shows how all this "defending women" stuff is total bullshit

Washington Post owner Jeff Bezos just emailed the paper's staff to announce a "change coming to our opinion pages."

"One of the purposeful consequences of overwhelm is that we see ourselves as the people politics happens to as opposed to being active participants in doing politics or shaping our political reality." inthesetimes.com/article/bill...

Anywho, we're only limited by our imaginations re: how we can connect and support each other in our communities.

If you don't oppose genocide you don't oppose fascism

i got death threats for writing about game of fucking thrones. be serious.

They have the guns and the money. The only thing we can have are the people. But those people have to be organized.

do you know how bad you have to be as president to make the Luka to Lakers thing the 2nd dumbest trade related news of the last 24hrs

For most people, life in an authoritarian regime is mostly boring and tolerable. For the people marked for eradication, not so much.

Trump hated TikTok (because China) until it helped him win an election (as even he acknowledges) and now he’s going to save it and take a victory lap. So he’ll have X, TikTok, Insta, and Facebook all working on his behalf. That’s a big difference between now and 2017.

And they will say just about anything. How to respond? See: Red Cards / Tarjetas Rojas | Immigrant Legal Resource Center | ILRC www.ilrc.org/red-cards-ta...

This is basically indentured servitude. We should pay these brave firefighters a fair wage. All wildland firefighters are underpaid, but this is unconscionable. #Eaton #Palisades www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

NEW: We interviewed women behind bars who exposed the widespread sexual abuse of US prison officers, but who have struggled to get relief. They are pleading with Biden for clemency. “After everything I’ve been through, I deserve to be protected. Give me a chance … Let me see my granddaughters”

We are so far up the ass of late-stage capitalism that people have forgotten the difference between a business and a public service.

the best podcast interview this season about how to think about the threats of mass deportation -- what we know, what we don't, strategies and tactics from the past and going forward @silkys13.bsky.social

For those who care, the northerners are displaced and northern Gaza destroyed.

Abolitionists will keep struggling toward liberatory goals in the Trump era. Our movements have always worked against the odds. @mskellymhayes.bsky.social and I shared our thoughts in this @inquest.bsky.social interview about the organizing landscape on the horizon. inquest.org/back-to-the-...

I interviewed Hani Almadhoun, brother of Mahmoud Almadhoun, the founder of Gaza Soup Kitchen, about his brother's murder and the ongoing work the kitchen is doing in Gaza www.eater.com/24318675/gaz...

A lot of things suck in this lifetime, but I remember when the thought of this was incomprehensible. This is beautiful.

Sometimes you need to step back and look at everything happening at once. Today I examine three pieces of excellent journalism that dropped on December 10. @jael.bsky.social @journo-beth.bsky.social @jbendery.bsky.social www.readtpa.com/p/one-day-in...

I had to reread this to be sure I understood since it is so Kafkaesque: hospitals are giving medications to patients in labor, only to report them to child welfare authorities when they or their newborns test positive for *the same medications the hospital just gave them*

THIS. If you live for nothing else, then live for spite ❤️

Every time I see this man I'm going to remind everyone who will listen that his career started under Obama where he was ICE's head of deportations & innovated a policy of separating children from parents as a migration deterrent.

This will mean the deaths of some of your disabled friends & peers. Please care enough to speak up for us.

I have been radicalized by my chronic pain. Not in a shoot a CEO way, but in that disability and medical rights are one of my number one issues and I can see the intentional neglect by the political world in pretty much every aspect of life.
