Senate Democrats should introduce a “Melissa Hortman day of remembrance” and see if Republicans object to it.
These fuckers you see dangling off of people's purses. GenZ version of beanie babies but in semi blind boxes. A capitalism based dopamine hit made by a socialist artist from Hong Kong.

As Gretchen Gehrke states, Trump's war on "woke" is altering "our ability as a collective society to be able to identify and discuss reality." “If we only are dealing with the information that we’re receiving via social media, we’re literally operating in different realities.”
California Fish and Wildlife officers said they busted about 45 Dungeness crab poachers at Thornton Beach, seizing hundreds of crabs and issuing about 15 citations.
I have to admit, I was brainwashed by Hollywood into thinking there was some kind of consensus that fascism and genocide were bad.
The identity of a mystery author behind the new crime novel The Ending Writes Itself, Evelyn Clarke, has been revealed as the duo VE Schwab and Cat Clarke 👇 #BookSky
Oops apparently he's not a Tankie but worse a right wing Groyper 🤢
Oh, and I also feel sad for the students who witness this regardless of their political leanings in any direction. It is very traumatic to watch somebody get shot and die in front of you, even if somebody you don't like. Something I also unfortunately have personal experience with. 😕
Don't let the big 🧀 #MAGA's whip the rest of us into a #CivilWar over a #Tankie #Incel murdering a #hatemonger. The innocent casualties that will die or be injured on both sides deserve better.
Agree w/ this, & would like to point out to folks that may have complex views on religion— based on my observations through my reporting—the largest segment that has pushed back against the spread of Christian Nationalism has been interfaith coalitions. progressive.org/public-schoo...
I think this is the future. I think each individual state needs to create its own future social safety net & United States is going to have to become more like Europe because we really do have cultures that are that different. Not to mention each state's particular needs greatly vary in healthcare.
As someone whose mother died when a preteen, I feel sorry for his kid. I'm also upset because the gun control he disagreed with would've prevented this & worse. But as somebody told to "kill themselves" & whose white husband was called a "race traitor" by a minion of his don't expect more 🤦🏻♀️

My doctor is contemplating turning me into a Borg just because of my right knee which is the knee of an octogenarian apparently 🥴
52. My youngin friends know that I can either go to the club with them that night OR to the brunch in the morning. They must choose! Luckily most of them are wise enough to choose brunch. I'm absolutely hilarious on a hangover, because I was babysat by Bill Irwin and Robin Williams as a kid. 🤷🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️
I need to put the first name in there too though cuz otherwise I might miss Star Trek news 😬
I need publications to work on their email headings for their morning newsletter. 'Cause there's something about seeing email subject lines like "WE'RE ALL FUCKED" that really sets the wrong vibe for the rest of the day.

I must lack luck because most of the time I'm at Eezy Freezy they are OUT. Disabled with multiple jobs so Oakland is too far if not meeting a client and can't really buy a boatload of crisps in front of one 😂 It's ok though UICC shoppe @dowlinglibrarysf.bsky.social now carries them so I'm fine.

Well that's enough social media for me today. Going to be working on my house backlog instead. ✌🏼
I'll have the clip shortly, but I have to imagine I'm the first person on right-wing media to say Melissa Hortman's name today. Republicans want to deny that one of their own murdered a Democratic lawmaker over the summer—it doesn't fit their BS narrative that blames all violence on the left.
Deeply disturbing rhetoric is spreading from influential MAGA figures (including the President of the United States and the owner of that other website). They have no idea who the shooter is, and many of these same people mocked Democrats when they were victims of political violence in the past. 1/
A lot of closeted rightwingers are coming out the woodwork on my social media feeds and I gotta say they ain't have none of this same energy for when a rightwinger shot up the CDC and killed two lawmakers and their loved ones. None of that energy for other mass shootings. But kirk is what broke them
Clever ... very clever. The problem is I do not think he's in the "good place" and my neurodiversity prevents me from lying about such things 🤷🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️

If you're in the #SanFrancisco Bay Area especially #Oakland and have a gathering coming up, buy a pie from this place or even more stuff. Let's try and keep it alive!
A Bay Area pie shop and café is struggling to stay open, citing a sustained and sharp drop in business and other headwinds. “Things are bleak,” the owners wrote in an announcement.
Even the devout, church-going Congregationalist John Adams, who had signed the Declaration of Independence, inked his presidential signature on the 1796 Treaty of Tripoli affirming to Americans and the world that “the United States is not, in any sense, a Christian nation.”

"The Trump administration has proposed [a] … 15% cap on reimbursements for indirect costs, which would be devastating and shortsighted. The research community can and should offer a workable alternative," write Jennifer Lodge and Richard Stanton in a new #ScienceEditorial. https://scim.ag/46cd5O2

You know how I said to keep an eye on the Manatee County Commission running headlong into a fight with Ron DeSantis over wetlands building restrictions that voters explicitly elected them to pass? They've now joined a class action lawsuit against the State of Florida. www.yahoo.com/news/article...

Boy am I glad my hubs went with the mat from a 🇫🇷 company that can't do this 💩 because they have proper consumer protection laws. Also, I never understood how people could sleep with a ring on anyways. It just makes no sense. It's SO uncomfortable. FFS I can't even wear my wedding 💍 during daytime.

It's a chance to have the overdue conversations surrounding internalized racism, sexism, ableism, corporate greed, the broken healthcare system, lack of health education in our school system and celebrity worship that feed fascism + other eugenic ideas in this country.
It's not about it being celebrities & you are clearly missing the point so yeah let me the BIPOC disabled polisci + medical anthropologist + lvn + concentrate on the internalized racism, social science & health related issues since you clearly can't see beyond celebrity to the deeper impact 😂
I get that it's trivial to YOU. If that's the case then just ignore this part of the battle and concentrate on parts that you have skin in the game in and are knowledgeable about. Don't put down other people for having other core issues with fascism. Just fight the part of fascism you can ✌🏼
FTR one of my degrees is in medical anthropology + I'm an overweight, slightly physically disabled person who before becoming disabled was athletic (🤺, Judo 🟫🥋, 💃🏼 etc.) Literally friends with one of the doctors who discovered fat people who exercise are healthier than normal or skinny who don't so 🤦🏻♀️
I've literally written here on that technique before & a 2 min web search will tell you 😂 For some people Ableism (including fat phobia) is their core issue. If it's trivial to you, then just ignore related stuff & move along instead of 🧌ing. Fight Fascism your own way on parts you're invested.
You can't give Fascists even an inch, they'll use it to take a mile.
Pressure for women to lose weight is often linked to Fascism & white supremacy. I highly suggest watching @leejamiller.bsky.social & @parkroseperma.bsky.social videos on the topic. This pop content is (unfortunately) rooted in the struggle. 🤦🏻♀️

‘Satie’s three piano pieces changed the harmonic vocabulary of 20th-century music. The major seventh chord became ubiquitous, first in jazz, then in pop music. Repetition, rather than development, became the guiding principle of composition.’ @jonathancoe.bsky.social: www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...
It's appalling that people on multiple sides of the political spectrum conflate property damage with violence. Pain (physical or emotional) is required for it to be violence. Property doesn't feel pain. Ergo not violence.
Also start stocking provisions now for a general strike. It will be here at some point in the following years 2.5-5 years, and if that one fails then another every other year or so until fascism falls because that's how it goes historically.
That's not my country anymore...
"There are doomsayers on social media telling us all hope is lost, that there will never again be free and fair elections in America, that we all might as well curl up in a ball and hide until the end of our days. But all hope is not lost. Anything can happen." open.substack.com/pub/newslett...

The way to win America back is district by district state by state ... This is a marathon against a Hydra not a sprint. The sooner people realize that the better.
Good reason to believe they could pull this upset tonight: A democrat flipped an Iowa state senate seat in a district trump won by 21 points in 2024, just earlier this year. www.bleedingheartland.com/2025/01/30/h...
He probably had more felonies than any of the people he detained combine
You were warned over and over again who these people are. You chose not to listen, or you chose not to care.
Eradicating Vance is not the same as eradicating MAGA. MAGA is a real life Hydra.
Clearly you've never lived under fascism until now. Lucky you, I've had to deal with multiple versions.l🤦🏻♀️ Anyways from traumatic personal experience, backed up with studies Culty's don't have to like their leader to follow if "G'd picked". Also the 💰 likes him and most here are puppets anyways 🤷🏻♀️.
Have you read the histories of the fall of the Roman empire &/or dictatorships of Yugoslavia, Nazi Germany, Philippines under F.Marcos, Venezuela, both Koreas, etc. the Troubles in Ireland. Growing up visiting my Filipino & Irish family during two of these overlapping periods I've seen this 😓
Dear White People, Spend more time now reading the of the falls of empires (especially Rome) and dictatorships. Also the underground railroad in case you know you might need to help. Bye, Me
The 💰 likes him and the cult members are doing it for jebus so won't care if they like him or not. They are used to G'd picking to use assholes because he does it multiple times in the Bible. They have a very warped reading of those books. 😓
I fucking hate Trump but this using of his weight as a reason to vilify him, when he's a literal actual villain sending people to countries where they don't have any family, and imprisoning American children just because they have a parent that's an immigrant. It's ableist and it hurts other people.
They're there for their warped concept of christianity - to them the "leader" is just a puppet of G'd. Cults don't necessarily fall apart after their originator dies. Web search and you'll literally find the names of cults still around after founder death and that I'm a survivor of one of these. 🥴
I said things would get worse, didn't say he was a better leader 🙄 Have none of you spent any time studying the Fall of the Roman Empire? That chaos, the rapid leadership change. More are going to fucking die and it's always the marginalized like me. So if you're yt+💰🖕🏼with your snooty opinion.
Sharing the small wins ...
Things are awful now, but under Vance etc. will get FAR worse. 😔
🧵🇦🇺 Australia’s ban under-16s from social media is misguided—and dangerous. Banning teens won’t fix the real problems: exploitative algorithms, data harvesting, and toxic design. Instead, it’ll push kids into less safe spaces—and hand even more power to platforms to demand ID scans from everyone.
The complete capitulation of America's elite universities to Trump isn't so surprising if you realize that they've already been capitulating to foreign autocracies for decades in their push to set up campuses in places that lack the most basic academic freedoms.
A great place in San Francisco to read or write if you know ☺️
