Next election is like prime time for socialists and communists to run for local office

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH

Today (Feb 22) in 1943, three courageous young people in the group White Rose were executed for distributing anti-Nazi leaflets in Germany. Sophie Scholl: "The greatest damage is caused by the silent majority that just wants to survive, submit and go along with everything."

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

it would be extremely cool to reach $2,000 for reproductive justice and mutual aid in the south!

And it's another short thread @wingsndnsilver.bsky.social with tonight's inventory selections, another necklace and cuff that were masterworks:

I’m just a Black woman who knows things and is out of a job because folks like racists than supporting my skills Because they don’t fully believe in my humanity And are shocked SHOCKED I tell you , that they elected a President who mirrored that behavior With theirs

It costs 0$ to Repost a Black disabled queer small business! It could lead to my next sale. All 3 patterns are available for pre-order!! If I don't sell enough of them. I'll have to cancel orders. So please support!! Which ones are you buying? Galaxy, bats or strawberry? Store: Bibipins.com

We're in dire need to keep raising money because of the expenses of keeping all of the eSIMs topped up. For the latest about our project: disabilityvisibilityproject.com/2025/01/29/c...

The police misconduct database has been eliminated by the Department of Justice on Trump‘s order. America just became a much more dangerous place, particularly for people of color. As we know that they are disproportionately affected by police brutality. www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

Yaffa is known around the world for its oranges. My grandmother, Khadra, tried to take some oranges with her in 1948, but the shelling was heavy. The oranges fell on the ground, the earth drank their juice. It was sweet, I’m sure. 🍊 🍊 🍊 🍊 🍊

AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH

Silently clapping every time I see that protests are targeting Elon and other billionaires.

Help a friend's friend out. In the US, most places require you have a car to get by. I've helped as much as I can. Will you help, too? Even a reboost helps. Go to GFM and like it. Donate if you can. Please.

Five years after detaining and threatening to arrest a Gitxsan reporter at a Wet’suwet’en land dispute, the RCMP apologizes | @karynpugliese.bsky.social

To be clear: the brutal, prolonged torture and murder of Sam Nordquist for his trans identity was ruled "not a hate crime" by upstate NY law enforcement because it happened to a trans man. The #1 rule of hate crimes is they never happen to trans people. No matter how much hate is behind the crime.

The way a huge cross section of racists suddenly decided that (Israeli) children matter, but only as a means to instrumentalise their deaths to urge on the massacre of Palestinian kids—as if the more than 20,000 who have already been killed is not enough—is so grotesque and evil.

The CDC got people killed capitulating to capital about Covid 19 & they got gutted anyways. Resistance is genuinely the only legitimate response when people literally want to shut you down.

At the beginning of the year, several Indigenous people in the territory were shot including a child. There were several attacks prior as well.

I think my sympathy dies today Because two decades of being a canary of being admired but barely supported And there’s a lot of terror But all the wrong people So hey racism got everyone what they deserve

From my mother, a lawyer who has fought for victims of police: "What they teach them in cop school is how to get you to incriminate yourself. Do not talk to cops. You say "I want my lawyer", and you say nothing else."

lol LOUD reminder that boycotts work. Just ask Target.

Every time one of these fascist f*cks does the 'sieg heil' — and this time it was Steve Bannon — (which I won't show as I've seen enough of that crap) — legacy media is 'Bannon appears to do a Nazi gesture.' There's nothing ambiguous about a Nazi salute. Nothing. Goddam cowards.

Palestinian families from Gaza take Canadian government to court - https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/palestinian-families-gaza-strip-take-canadian-government-court

One of my favorite accounts on here...

One person I talk to every day in Gaza is @obadasalqawy2025.bsky.social, who is doing his best to care for his family after his life and business as a lawyer were destroyed. If you can help Palestinians in the run up to Ramadan (March) you’ll be bringing a lot of hope and joy. gofund.me/56fa5505

Wear clothes with no markings you bought with cash from multiple stores across a period of days if not weeks. Cover as much of your skin as possible. Be aware of cameras around you and don't get caught on them changing or masking up. Look at what Luigi did for prep and fix his mistakes.

this is a policy decision. this is the logical conclusion of a government enacting cruelty in the name of obtaining “self-deportations”. may jocelynn now know peace that we were not able to give her here.

With the two big bills yesterday I forgot I owe $100 on my vet care account: paypal.me/popelizbet or $popelizbet on cashapp reaches me.

Photo of the day. When the clouds settle into the valley, and the snow falls thick and fast, it can feel like the rest of the world has been erased, that I'm a lonely pocket of reality left. Then eventually, the clouds lift a bit, and I'm part of the world again, at least a little.

You kan not run educacioun lyke a businesse. A businesse ys meant to make a profit. Educacioun ys meant to make the future. A businesse ys meant to serve customers. Educacioun ys meant to empower citizens.
