We don’t need your shitty brands! You’re expendable but trans people are not.

Let us do without soldiers. The joy built upon successful slaughter is not the right kind of joy; it will not do; it is fearful and it is trivial.

I have that acct blocked already, probably from seeing him be a dick to someone else

What's up with all these America first types hating everything about America as it actually exists

If he doesn't like the fact that anyone can be American he's free to move somewhere else! bsky.app/profile/coop...

New study highlights the day-to-day importance of autistic flow | BPS Work by Daniella Wain and colleagues details a non-pathologising view of flow states in autistic individuals, and how they maintain wellbeing

NEWS: The Trump administration confirmed it bombed a girl’s school in Iran.

It's one of the most devastating military errors in decades.

Trump lied about it. Pete Hegseth gutted the office preventing civilian casualties.

The world is a horror and I'm powerless to do anything about it, so I'm going to be extra cranky toward a GR author who crashed my GR marginalized voices reading group to promote her author friends' books and is evading answering our "Do these authors fit the aim of this reading group?" questions

A collection of 9 anti-ICE and related signs; messages include variations of “ICE OUT” and love for neighbors.

A collection of 9 anti-ICE and related signs; messages include “A person was stolen by ICE here” and “ICE + CBP are scum”

I’ve been photographing anti-ICE and related yard/window/tree/street signs around Minneapolis. The variety of commercial and especially handmade signs is amazing, as is the urge for people to let their neighbors know they care and are furious in ways big and small. Batch #5

Might be time to bring back war criminal trials that include rich people this time

Historian of French Revolution here to say that in periods like this, squeamish compromisers do as much to drive radicalization as do ideologues. If you keep making excuses for the unfit king, eventually folks come for you and him.
