In the words of John Lewis, it's time for "good trouble."
If you're a Minnesotan, I urge you to join tomorrow's Ice Out For Good economic blockout and exercise your collective power.
And if you're not, organize in solidarity and demand our leaders stand up to ICE. https://iceoutforgood.org/
Today I was in a room full of Jews and Muslims when I found out that a gunman had shot up a Jewish event. We all shared the pain together. A Palestinian man from Gaza who happened to have moved here 2 weeks before October 7 expressed his pain at our tragedy. Many of his family members are dead, and many others are in tents now. And still, he stood with us. These moments will be used to divide us. Thats the whole reason they are committed. To tear us all into different factions so one can win and one can lose. Buying into that worldview hands the shooters and bigots a win by creating the world they want. The only actual way to defeat them is to stand firm in building a world of dignity for all. This is what the Palestinian in the room did for us. It is what the Muslim man who risked his life to save Jews did. This is the way to win. This is how we beat those who want a world of division and violence. @eladnehorai

Jesus fucking Christ, America. We are a shithole country with a shithole president and a shithole congress that does nothing to stop this entirely preventable violence. Fuck your guns and fuck you.

Layoffs have hit over 1.1M so far this year β the most since the pandemic.
Yet corporate profits continue to hit record highs, with corporations increasingly spending those earnings on stock buybacks to enrich execs and shareholders.
This is what a rigged economy looks like.
THE TRANS AGENDA IS TO KEEP MY F*CKING FRIENDS ALIVE sol rios At 2pm and 2am. Sleep, I remember you. Please, wait for me. I send out 7 reminders to eat a day. Like little paper lifeboats. It's nothing. And it keeps me afloat. I forget to eat too. I need company for my shot. 3ml of Estradiol over facetime. I tell my friend I'm being a baby about it, she says woman up. Daylight savings swallows up the hour in question. I was going to sit in the bathtub until you responded. And I need you to keep you alive for me. Just until Thursday. Just through to 6 am. I can send you 14 dollars for soup. I can lend you my ears. You'll need both hands to hold a heart. Your razor clinking against the counter. In a dream I almost slip into, I reach through the phone and hide the blade in my open palm, before you notice. Text me, I say. In the morning. I love you. I need you alive. We can figure out the rest tomorrow. With or without sleep. With or without the light of the morning.

These words are centered on a goldenrod background in black and red text. Below is the golden head of a tiger. The left and right sides are bordered with tight curly lines that intersect in little hearts.
βStorytelling can be more than a blog post, essay, or book. It can be an emoji, a meme, a selfie, or a tweet. It can become a movement for social change.β

Headline from CNN that reads Trump administration drops plan to require passenger compensation for delayed flights
Of course they did.
Wild how I drew this 4 years ago as satire and now itβs the average tweet from a sitting president

Whatβs draining tax dollars isnβt SNAP, itβs corporate welfare and billionaire tax breaks.
FACT: Even people working two jobs still need SNAP.
Whereβs the outrage about that?!

You know why? BECAUSE IT IS NOT FAKE.
Reagan said it. Trump is lying.
May we all have the courage and spirit to shout down fascism like barefoot pajama man.
