I hope America is as lucky as the delta jet - everyone survives but the right wing explodes

This nation has seized assets and put people in camps before and it can do it again. I have no doubt it will.

Keith Haring died of AIDS aged 31 on 16 Feb 1990. One of his last works, Unfinished Painting, was deliberately incomplete, reflecting the devastating, unquantifiable loss to the arts due to AIDS. #LGBTplusHistoryMonth

So everybody saying we don’t need to worry about any of this stuff because it’s not legal. When do those legal folks step in and turn everything back to normal? Is that happening Monday? Tuesday?

Here's a thread about how trans people can approach remaining informed of the news in a way that prioritizes pragmatism, self-care, and building resistance. It's based on what I'm doing personally. So, fyi, I'm more anxious than usual, but holding up substantially.

If in today's (or any) protest 👇

if you’re 25 years old with control of the entire treasury system and you don’t delete every student debt file, you are the biggest loser the world has ever seen

Elon Youth it seems

Lowkey hope it's Godzilla getting ready to either unite us or kick our asses for fucking things up

First they came for the immigrants, and I spoke out, because I’ve read the damn poem before and I know how it ends.

I used to live 2 streets away from there less than 6 months ago. As soon as I heard about the increase in ICE presence, I knew my old neighborhood would be fucked. It's full of families just trying to survive.

ACT UP, 1990

David Lynch spent the last portion of his life in isolation. He said it was due to being high-risk and unable to risk getting COVID. He’s not the only person with disability or illness who’s been left behind. Everywhere you go without an n95 is a place you’ve decided disabled people don’t belong.

I think people who are concerned about the social and political "consequences" of Michelle Obama skipping the inauguration don't know enough working class families and where this ranks on their list of concerns.

RIP Bozo lol

twitch fortnite streamer called ConnorEatsPants vs Richest Guy Alive is maybe not the frost/nixon we wanted but maybe it's the frost/nixon we deserve

One of the many reasons I hated working in the IVF industry, especially as a trans person.

My New Year's resolution is to make it to 2026. Feel free to steal this as your own goal as well.

I really hope it gets published bc I know I'd support it!

Cocaine Blues In a story that's more Cash App than Johnny Cash, a tech bro stabbed a man in Frisco just to watch him die. But the right says the problem is too many boys named Sue. by Maureen Dowd

Saw someone upbraiding someone else for having a hobby while the world is on fire, and, my friends: 1. The world is ever on fire, this is today's conflagration; 2. If you don't find time for rest and joy the fire will consume you; 3. Don't let people shame you for being an entire human.

honestly pretty funny media organizations reported luigi mangiones manfiesto as “chilling text from a disturbed mind” and then it was leaked and the manifesto essentially said “i think the healthcare industry is parasitic”

Can confirm that most healthcare workers have the same frustrations

Now do Pete Hegseth, Tulsi Gabbard & Kash Patel.

Thou shalt not forget that all Americans are united by how much they hate the greed of healthcare insurance companies.

How the Right sounds

Corporations created the grinch to keep our eyes off the real enemy

Honestly, Spain has always been one of my top goals of places to live

Finished "The Swerve" by Stephen Greenblatt. Interesting example of how pieces of knowledge can survive over millenia and shows why preservation is important. Reminds me of why I wanna go into archives and library science. 3.5/5

And maybe the care denial rates won't be so damn high

Chase Strangio will be the first openly transgender attorney to argue before the Supreme Court, representing families who say Tenn.’s ban on health care for transgender minors leaves their children terrified about the future. He grew up in Newton and attended Northeastern University School of Law.
