One of the unfortunate parts of stepping back from social media is missing developments like the defamation suit brought by Caylan Ford against @lukelebrun.ca @pressprogress.ca & others. In case you, like me, have been living under a rock, you can learn more & how to support PP at the link below:
A wooden table with a candle lantern, a bowl of dates and a white cup and saucer, steaming with tea. The sky behind is blue with some pink clouds and lots of stars. The new moon glows in the upper left corner. The candle light creates a warm glow on the table, lighting the dates and the tea

Trump has directed the FBI to disrupt the Antifa organization. That's impossible to do without an organization, that the FBI would have to create, then organize people who dislike hierarchy in general in order to disrupt the organization that they organized.
The left isn’t “dancing on Charlie Kirk’s grave,” we’re just pointing out that, thanks to rhetoric like his, a lot of other graves exist.
‼️Don't schedule events and meetings on Monday, Sept. 22 - Wednesday, Sept. 24 (Rosh Hashanah) or Wednesday, Oct. 1 - Thursday, Oct. 2 (Yom Kippur). If you've already scheduled events for these dates, reschedule. Avoiding these dates shows you're Jewish🔯 friends and colleagues that you care.‼️
That sounds terrible! I hope you get some answers and relief from the pain ASAP!
"Listen to Black women and men"
IS NOT
"Find a Black person and put pressure on them to answer your inappropriate questions"
For the love of fuck.
STOP. DOING. THAT.
honestly, if your politics don't communicate how they are going to help people flourish in society - than don't be surprised when they get rejected
remember the "Alt Right"? can't even recall the last time i heard that term. but while it's gone, it also won: richard spencer and gavin mcinnes are nobodies as individuals, but their ideas are in the halls of power.
NPR had a quick, upbeat mention about how farmwork could function as healthcare with people "prescribed" to do it and it feels maddening that a significant swath of elite opinion seems to be trying to soft relaunch serfdom.
We’re calling for a Florida boycott over the inhumane “Alligator Alcatraz” detention site. Cancel your family vacation and choose a different destination this summer.
Even setting aside substance, “a freelance healthcare journalist reporting in the NYT on a mayoral candidate’s old college application obtained in a hack and flagged by a prominent racist who is granted anonymity even though everyone knows who he is” is one of the strangest stories I’ve ever read
Millions protest for pride
Hungary banned pride and anything having to do with homosexuality. In response the country responded with the biggest pride protest in modern history. Orban is cooked. #3E
My daughter, drawing: “this is a pirate”
Me: “oh does he have a sword?”
Daughter: “*HE*?!?!?!?!?”
Kid is learning early how to call out my implicit biases, good for her!
Alright everyone, one last push.
If you or anyone you know is:
- LGBTQ+

- In the US
Trevor Project is recruiting responses for their survey on LGBTQ+ mental health.
It has HUGE impacts on policy, please take it and share widely if you can :)

Just want to take a moment to shout out the international reporters helping us get the real story out. When an 80-year-old veteran with a walker is hauled off with his hands zip-tied behind his back, and the media spins it as a “threatening breach” of a police barricade
Marine veterans are speaking out against the troop deployment in Los Angeles. Across the country, they’re taking down their American flags that have flown in front of their homes for years. Remember, we have friends everywhere.

good morning friends 💚✨
Recognize the seriousness of the moment but also recognize that one of the best ways to fight a fascist is to make sure that everyone sees them for the weak, laughable little shits they are
Thinking of a hero I knew and admired.
With #Pride month around the corner, far-Right groups are ramping up threats against celebrations across the US. Check out this list below from @reportbywilson.bsky.social about potential threats and our guide here for ways communities can mobilize. itsgoingdown.org/defendpride/
Shoulder injury aside, it looks like it’s great for the soul!
Maybe I’m just getting old, but I’m super impressed that you can OneWheel on a trail without crashing.
The problem is, of course, that Trump *wants* to repeat the past because he doesn’t see those things as mistakes.
