Next up, they will attempt to destroy the Bureau of Labor Statistics to make accurate reporting of employment numbers impossible. They will re-mix the covid-era "if we stop testing for covid, we'ed have very few cases" but for the economy.

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.

This is very, very bad. Am working on a write-up, but let’s just say that firing military leaders for blatantly political reasons is wildly inappropriate; firing all the too lawyers is ominous; firing them all at the same time is a terrifying five-alarm fire

1. On Friday Night, it became apparent that historic LGBTQ+ clinic Whitman-Walker in DC had erased trans care and resources from it's website. The stated reason is harmful to us all. I make my case against it, and other orgs, erasing us for federal dollars. Subscribe to support my journalism.

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

Gonna be straight with yall. You should've been off Twitter a long time ago. I know alot of yall are artists who have gigantic followings and all that and it's tough to start anew. But you should absolutely do it. Besides the occasional viral tweet, your reach just isn't truthful.

I think part of the problem is that regular people think rich people use money the same way that THEY do. As if the rich are thinking in "wants and needs". No, their needs are met. VERY automatically. Wants? Other than "more", also all extremely met. They're just hoarding and sitting on it. 💰💰💰

If you are a cis person please take 2 minutes to do this. Trans people with non-updated gender markers, historical gender marker changes, and X markers are terrified to travel right now; rolling back this policy would mean a lot.

In my opinion, when Biden was elected there were 3 emergencies he needed to deal with: 1) Rolling out the vax as quickly & safely as possible 2) rebounding the cratered economy 3) fortify against threats to democracy He did the first 2 spectacularly & totally failed on the 3rd

My U.S. Rep, a Democrat, held a town hall and explicitly said that THE REASON she was speaking out louder now was because she got so many calls and emails. DEFINITELY YELL AT THEM. It’s the only language they speak. It’s literally how they gauge public opinion.

Public comment is now open for passport gender marker changes. You can go here to go to each of the three proposed passport rules, and submit comment. My suggestion: be unique, argue for trans-inclusive policies, against the constitutionality of the changes, etc. www.reddit.com/r/Passports/...

RFK Jr. thinks that a clinical trial should be done for the entire childhood vaccine schedule. Here’s why that will never happen. 1. You can’t do a randomized trial of something that we already know is safe and effective. There would have to be a placebo group that didn’t get vaxxed. Unethical.

PSA to all speedrunners - PLEASE download and upload all highlights to YouTube. Huge amounts of speedrunning history will be lost if we don't take action. Even if you're under 100 hours, play it safe and download. It's 100 hours for now, but who knows in the future.

The reason villains are typically more interesting than heroes in fiction is very simple. Heroes in most mainstream American art obey the law and uphold the status quo. If you want more interesting good guys, you need to start writing heroes who blow up pipelines and kill ICE agents.

I usually only ask you to do one bit of self care every day, but today's a special day. Bonus self care. The current admin is considering shutting down the free covid test program and just destroying 160 million tests instead. You can get 4 tests free sent directly by the USPS.

The crudeness of the boilerplate fake performance complaints in these mass firings has an unsettling echo of how the banks in the financial crisis couldn't begin to prove they owned the loans but got away with foreclosing on people's homes with forged or missing documents anyway

True story: a few years ago, I was being interviewed by a reporter for the New York Times. I mentioned the history of eviction statutes and how they tied into Jim Crow. The reporter asked "what's Jim Crow?" When I explained, the reporter didn't believe me and said the US wouldn't do that.

As this article spells out, one tiny problem with "it's the wokeness!" is how Democrats crushed it when they were at their most woke. This was all in 2020 before the election. Then in 2024 they backed away from it and lost to a bunch of the same people they beat in 2020.

I do not believe in any tech product where the devs want us to view it with some form of religious awe, a divine gift redefining human experience and bequeathing knowledge unto us humble land apes. I believe in a tech product where the devs are like “this is handy for planning breakfasts”
