If You've Got Nothing Worth Dying For, You've Got Nothing Worth Living For. Abolish ICE I’m a card-carrying member of the queer community and disability community but I “audit” other communities just to learn. Trans rights are human rights. #UBI She/Her 🏳️🌈
I would also like the Democrats to stop just ceding the Republican framing of everything that matters
we can't be the party of "nothing matters except tax cuts" when teachers have to buy school supplies with their own money and no one under 40 will ever be able to buy a house
When we talk about intergenerational pressures on Black prosperity, a lot of ink is spilled outlining issues like being denied prime mortgages, and how few Black entrepreneurs get angel investors. Far less discussed is how, by making every problem more expensive, our wealth is systemically stripped.
Headline from The New York Times: "U.S. at Fault in Strike on School in Iran, Preliminary Inquiry Says" Below is a picture of the school after the bombing and text from the article.
A strike on an Iranian school killed 175 people, mostly children. Trump tried to blame it on Iran, but a preliminary inquiry shows that it was the US. Our tax dollars are killing children.
We need answers and accountability for this atrocity, and an immediate stop to this war.
You cannot tell voters (accurately) this is a fascist regime that is hell bent on destroying us - let alone rely on it (as Dems are) as your GOTV while also voting yourselves to enable the regime.
Cis people need to pay attention to the way they communicate this. They freely admit that after all of their research, they came up with zero evidence that HRT was harmful.
Then they banned it anyway, claiming their inability to find a reason is a reason in of itself.
Dems really struggle with the fact that you should never agree with this admin *on anything*, and that that has nothing to do with partisanship.
Whatever you had in mind about a topic--even if it's stupid or evil or w/e--it's not as stupid or evil as this admin was thinking.
NO NO NO YOU DON’T

This is the way. Thank you for resisting the push for war.
ALT text copied and pasted from the linked website: An infographic titled “How To Write Alt Text” featuring a photo of a capybara. Parts of alt text are divided by color, including identify who, expression, description, colour, and interesting features. The finished description reads “A capybara looking relaxed in a hot spa. Yellow yuzu fruits are floating in the water, and one is balanced on the top of the capybara’s head.”

At a time when we desperately needed an opposition leader Harris disappeared.
Noem’s firing is proof that protests don’t just fill the streets, they can shape how institutions behave. And judges, lawmakers, and even Trump’s allies seem to be getting the message. Historian @timothysnyder.bsky.social adds, “a democracy means the people rule.” #Velshi
“Ridesharing companies like Uber, for instance, can charge users more when they have lower battery life on their phone.”
It’s about time someone said it out loud on a national news show.
Major Gen. Paul Eaton (ret.) — on Trump’s interest in putting boots on the ground:
“We have a situation where someone called a malignant narcissist is unfortunately drifting into a state of dementia that is difficult to manage.”
Colorado governor signal he'll commute sentence of election denier. Pressured by President Trump, Gov. Jared Polis said he is considering the release of Tina Peters, the last high-profile 2020 election meddler still imprisoned. His fellow Democrats are outraged.
File this under "Why establishment Dems keep losing."
If you won't act like an opposition party, we'll replace you.
you don't have to read graphic descriptions of SA even if the rapist is running the country right now
you don't have to read or watch graphic depictions of bombing innocents even if it's happening right now
you can be angry about and take action against wrongs without exposing yourself to trauma
There's been lots made of a story involving "Armageddon briefings" in the US military. There's also lotsa skepticism around it, mainly bc it seems none of the first-hand sources spoke to reporters.
If you're a member of the military who HAS experienced these briefings, my Signal is: jackmjenkins.60
I was recently reminded of narcissistic rage, and the effect where extreme malignant narcissists would rather “destroy the world” than accept it will go on without them after their death. We gave an aged malignant narcissist in his decline the tools & access to destroy the world. What strategy?
The last time the US actually declared war? 1941.
If it kills like a war, it's a war.
It might be used when Hegseth goes before the tribunal.
I really appreciate that @friendlyatheist.com is bothering to make the distinction between Hegseth's whole Doug Wilson fanboy thing and the dispensationalist camp, because that distinction matters and too many people have been refusing to accept that they're not the same.
💥 No more business as usual in the Senate. We shouldn't be voting to proceed to normal legislation until Republicans schedule a debate and a vote and on a declaration of war against Iran. Let's see if Trump has the votes to authorize war. I bet he doesn't @chrismurphyct.bsky.social
I’ve been notified about another death in ICE custody.
This marks a stunning 40 deaths during the second Trump administration.
This cannot continue. There must be real accountability for ICE and DHS.
Your periodic reminder that “Israel’s government” and “the Jews” aren’t synonymous.
That's enough for me tonight.
All night I've repeated this strange mantra I made up:
"There is no fairy tale prince.
There is no magic sword.
There is no deus ex machina.
There's only us.
Trying to make the world a better place."
Cheers to all of us.
And how we refuse to give up the fight. ♥️♥️
once again I reiterate that I have never found a more effective barometer for "is this space safe for my fat cis body" than "show me your specific policies for creating a safe space for trans bodies"
it has a 100% success rate everywhere from doctors to waxing to clothing-optional soaking pools
I get asked to show up to book clubs, online and offline. Here is why from now on the answer is always "no." If you think this might have something to do with "AI" ruining yet another thing for everyone, you're absolutely 100% correct.

🚨Dallas County Update, Stay in Line!

When someone says „Scientists do not want you to know“ you can dismiss everything from there on. Scientists want you to know. They are desperate that you know. They can’t shut up about what they found out and want you to know.
For Americans stuck in the Middle East — here are some resources to stay informed and stay safe during this time.
Circumstances are changing often, so make sure you keep yourself informed on @TravelGov’s latest guidance.
What it is Like to Accidentally be Trapped in a Country at War
By Zack Davisson
Hey! You seen on the news of evacuation orders for Americans whose vacation was suddenly disrupted by a little war as a treat? Well, it happened to me too.
Gather round for story time! Destination, EGYPT!!!
