Hearing about SOAR losing funding this morning. Resources will go offline after August 18th.

These documents need to be preserved. Does anyone know of sites that are helping with saving this kind of information where people can access it?

This is such a cool concept!!

I want us to study the history of resistance to slave catchers right now. I want us to study how slave catchers worked, how they were sanctioned, who paid them, and why they did what they did, right now. I want us to study the hyperlocal and networked ways slave catchers were impeded. Right now.

Working in SSA adjacent stuff is so interesting right now.

For instance, I can always look forward to a late afternoon wild email from Dudek on Fridays.

You've got stardust in your feathers ✨

Just had the most frustrating call with a case manager who shares a client with me.

He interrupted me constantly, was misunderstanding the letter from SNAP (the process I started with him), and kept misgendering me. He also was being ableist about my clients disability.

In front of our client. 🤦

It's pretty wild to see what the Tesla Takedown people have built from nothing, totally organically in just two months.

Yes a shutdown would have consequences.

And a Republican President, Republican House, and Republican Senate would be responsible.

They have acted in a unilateral and unprecedented way.

Democrats cannot cave. They must fight back.

Anyone find it funny how when the UK releases the Cass review to ban trans care, we get everything ranging from New York Times push notifs to op-eds in every major US paper...

But when Germany, Switzerland, and Austria release pro-trans youth care guidelines, not a single article anywhere but mine?

Mice, Ranked From Least to Most Transgender No matter gay straight or bi, lesbian, transgender mice.

Palate cleanser.

Children Were Forced to Torture Sam Nordquist, Prosecutors Say Seven people are now charged with first-degree murder in connection with the death of Mr. Nordquist, a transgender man whose killing has drawn national attention.

Absolutely still not happy about the lack of hate crimes, but we have been calling for the addition of First Degree murder.

We continue to follow the case along with all of the transgender community.

Sam will be remembered.

My biggest fear is coming true. I was called alarmist before November.

I was able to find it by going to AltSpaceForce and looking in their replies.

Screenshot of the #AltGov starter pack on BlueSky explaining "Only the vetted and verified members of #AltGov who have a presence on Blue Sky are included in this pack. This pack is curated by AltSpaceForce1. Question and inclusion requests busy be sent to him." It shows that 442 people have used this starter pack and also has AltSpace Force, altScaledOfJustice, and AltFDA

It should look like this.

I was 9 when this movie came out and have had nightmares about climate catastrophe since.

So awesome that it's happening in real time now. /s

A thread where journalists are explaining how activism and journalism need to remain separate to avoid blacklisting in the industry.

I need to find the shitposters on bluesky....

Congrats!!

‘Eyes on the Prize III: We Who Believe in Freedom Cannot Rest 1977-2015’ Review: Landmark Docuseries Remains Essential Viewing in New HBO Chapter The Million Man March, the birth of Black Lives Matter, urban renewal projects in the Bronx and the aftermath of the Los Angeles Uprising get spotlights in the six-parter.

I'm genuinely disheartened by the lack of reviews/coverage for "Eyes on the Prize III," which premieres on HBO tonight.

Sigh. This is, I guess, a "me" problem. But nothing you could watch this week is better.

Anyway... ICYMI, my review:

I love this thread because it explains all the different ways that we can make our voices heard on these issues. Thank you for collecting this information.

I finished my diagnostic assessment today and got my results.

I picked up 2 new neurodivergent diagnosis, in addition to ADHD.

I got so much clarity and I can't wait to move forward with my life understanding myself better.

This vote was to start the process of the cuts. It WILL come back for a final vote.

There are some chances to slow or potentially stop it. Need constant pressure on GOP

Focus on GOP swing seats & key committees. Energy & Commerce is where the Medicaid fight will go down. Ways&Means for tax fight.

Good morning. The dance, whatever that means to you, is worth fighting for.

“During the darkest days of the AIDS crisis, we buried our friends in the morning, protested in the afternoon and danced all night. The dance kept us in the fight because it was the dance we were fighting for.

A personal note about the @katiephangshow.bsky.social:

My mom being transphobic behind my back doesn't surprise me.

My bfs brother being transphobic doesn't surprise me either.

It's still so fucking upsetting. It's free.99 to mind your fucking business and keep my name out of your mouth.
