This morning there is a public memorial for officer David Rose, who was killed two weeks ago after being the first to respond to the gunman outside CDC. Our hearts are heavy. We will always be grateful for his sacrifice. We'll be radio silent here until after the memorial is concluded.
🧵The next wave of corporate welfare. Trump and his thugs want to speed the development of US critical minerals to the tune of $1B This is why all environmental protections and regulations are getting axed.
@mark-carney.bsky.social Do not ignore this
Washington Post: “Is fascism bad? The answer may surprise you” Teen Vogue: “Here are three fun tips you can use this summer to disable an armored personnel carrier”
The science office “is the heart and brain of the E.P.A.,” said Justin Chen, president of A.F.G.E. Council 238. “Without it, we don’t have the means to assess impacts upon human health and the environment. Its destruction will devastate public health in our country.” www.nytimes.com/2025/07/18/c...
I worked at Planned Parenthood. They diagnose cancers while still treatable. They help women decide what birth control works for them. They help those working through mental health challenges. Defunding them just harms people who already struggle to find places to get care.
Look #bluesky ... at the happiness on the dog's face after his big jump... 😂😂
the destruction of chattel slavery is one of the great accomplishments in our nation's history and the reason conservatives hate celebrating it is because doing so legitimizes the black counter-narrative of the united states
Rise, read, repeat.
Many such cases.

I would just like to go on record as saying: the fuck
Funded by your tax dollars.
I can see how Hitler happened. The last decade or so in the U.S. makes it easy to imagine. Not just Hitler; the Tulsa race massacre, Rosewood, lynching, slavery, the Rwanda & Rohingya genocides & more. There is a wolf pack evil that lurks in the human heart and it’s easily activated by a demagogue.
Ananda Lewis' death makes me so sad and mad because it didn't have to happen so young. Homeopathy does not treat or cure breast cancer. She was misled by the pervasive misinformation around health and it cost her lief itself. www.yahoo.com/entertainmen...
Question. Did democracy cease to function during the Whiskey Rebellion?The Great Railroad Strike of 1877? The May Day Riots? Let me put this another way, can you identify a single point in U.S. history where Americans exclusively expressed themselves in an orderly fashion along acceptable lines?
the idea of fingerwagging your way into protest discipline is deeply delusional for a number of reasons, chief among which is that the cops' decisions are among the biggest determinants of how protests ago. it's like being perplexed at people for using umbrellas while ignoring the weather
In my head this is what Alucard is doing when I spam backdash
This photo should be ringing around the world. It is the absolute depiction of what America is going through. This isn't about protests. It's about the bravery it takes to stand up to this fascist regime and their now militarized thugs. We are all this person.
Hopefully this version actually works
Whenever I check the news
Trump is deploying 2,000 National Guard troops to Los Angeles without the governor’s request or consent. Governor Newsom has publicly condemned the move, calling it “purposefully inflammatory.”
The fascists are playing the opposition and the media aiding them. Masked ICE agents, LAPD in riot gear, the FBI, and the U.S. Marshals Service all beating down, bashing, and gassing people in Los Angeles. These aren't deportation raids. It's the outright flex of fascist power on US citizens.
The irony of him skeeting about said “Twitter fight” 🙃

Hi. Books are incredibly important. Please let them be.
🚨🚨Calling all North Carolina voters!! Here is a list of every voter that Jefferson Griffin is trying to disenfranchise, please if you are a NC voter check to see if your name is on here, you have 15 days to cure your ballot to make sure your vote counts. thegriffinlist.com/assets/griff...

Well, they lied. Obviously.

Devastating
🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave. Tell them: 1. Vote NO on Cloture AND 2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill. Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it. TODAY is the showdown. 🤳🏽: (202) 224-3121

My favourite thing on Bojack Horseman is when the anthropomorphic animals act like the actual animals. Like the sad dog-guy whines a little or the cat-lady gets scared and jumps up on a dresser.
i saw some thread about Nigerian phrases they use when upset and one of the best ones was instead of saying "I'm mad" a common phrase is "my enemies have succeeded" lol that rocks
