Yesterday was windy and it rained like an inch but today it's mild and sunny and I have returned to my rightful place (a plastic patio chair in the middle of my back yard).

Government efficiency is when every federal agency has to send a daily emergency email to its workers telling them to ignore another daily email from a different department trying to fire them without knowing what their jobs are.

Fair Or Not, Churchill’s “Never Surrender” Rhetoric Is Angering Hitler. Is His Style Hurting Britain?

If “concerns” about migration weren’t rooted in racism, you’d see people like Nigel Farage talking out against, for example, elderly British “expats” moving to Spain or France. But you don’t see that, because their concern isn’t actually migration, but who is migrating, and that is rooted in racism.

Measles are contagious. Measles cause 1 in 4 people to be hospitalized. Measles can be deadly especially in children. Measles can cause blindness & deafness. Measles can cause brain damage yrs later. Measles can cause "immune amnesia". Measles are preventable with MMR vaccine. #medsky #IDsky 🛟 😷🧪

Exactly why I've been writing, podcasting, and damn near screaming about using the right language. The mainstream media is failing us SO badly right now. Stop. Calling. This. Shit. DEI. This is (re)segregation. This is racial purging. Cleansing Black people from positions of power.

The reply email inbox for this “what did you do last week” email is [email protected], so, you know, definitely don’t send them any unrelated messages that would interfere with their ability to carry out Elon’s dumbass bullshit

This is a direct reference to the Proud Boys who use the gold wreath FAFO logo. I fully believe Elon is going to utilize vigilante violence to enforce things. You should take this seriously.

“Tradwife” can only exist in a world where women have social media to display and monetize what would otherwise be a harrowingly isolated and impoverished life. It’s a social media outgrowth and a joke.

Transphobic LGB people -- you know how you feel about me, a trans person? How nothing I do will ever change your mind about me? Yeah, well, that's how homophobes see you, and no amount of respectability politics or being "one of the good ones," will save you after they come for trans people.

I made this Pride flag using only NASA images and our team thought it would be cool to share on social (I work on the NASA heliophysics communications team), but it's getting all sorts of hate on the bird app and Fbook. Thought y'all might be more appreciative of it here. ☺️🏳️‍🌈💖

Yes, it is entirely correct to point out that ICE officers do not have any legal authority to break into somebody’s home unless they get a judicial warrant; which they generally cannot do, because judges only issue warrants for probable cause of crimes, not immigration law violations.

“Trump Third Term Project” banner sighted at CPAC: “For Trump 2028…and beyond!” The overtly fascist eagle and the Romanesque Trump bust with Caesar laurels should be…er…concerning to those who know their history (as should the intimation that Trump will never leave office)

Ok, I'm doing a version of this thread for 🧪 who are new to political conditions where info security is a safety issue: 1. Don't make public lists of people who are engaging in acts of resistance 2. Be weary of calls to advertise acts of subversion 3. Don't live post resistance meetings
