Terrible, awful stuff. These women are so, so brave.

I hope that, amongst the pain, they are able to feel freed by letting the truth be known.

And they are exactly right: the movement—the movement they created through their work and dedication—is the hero. He’s just a man.

Peace to Dolores Huerta, a hero amongst heroes.

Folks who are struggling with the news about Cesar Chavez, be gentle with yourselves. You are not obligated to consume all of the awful details. You can simply offer your belief and support to those who were harmed.

see?
here's the thing. A lot of people are like, the earth is fucked, it's beyond salvation, it's hit the tipping point, but time and time again we see that if we just fucking fixed the problem, it rebounds so incredibly fast. Imagine what could be done if people actually cared

California pledges to open 7% of its land and waters to Indigenous tribes — a step toward healing a 175-year-old broken promise The new plan aims to bring at least 7.5 million acres of land and coastal waters under the care of Indigenous tribes — representing the acreage the U.S. promised and failed to hold for tribal reservat...

"California is pledging to put 7.5 million acres under tribal stewardship in the state’s first-ever tribal stewardship policy."

Absolutely *phenomenal* news & essential. We need this, across Turtle Island, fast. We don't time. But WOW. What an amazing thing to see in my lifetime.

Exclusive | Trump Administration Set to Receive $10 Billion Fee for Brokering TikTok Deal Investors in the social-media platform’s U.S. business agreed to give the government several multibillion-dollar payments, sources said.

It was revealed last week that Trump got a $10 billion bribe for helping steal TikTok and give it to his right wing billionaire friends under the pretense of national security and it barely enjoyed a two hour news cycle

Palantir wants erase women, Altman wants to decide what intelligence is …..

But everybody wanted to watch it be slow walked ..

Because they either hate Black women in general or just didn’t like the Black women who warned them

(noticing my Zone is being flooded) oh no!

This is the company the UK government has embedded in the nation’s services. Seriously, fuck everyone who is excusing this.

“Convince the world to abandon books and then sell them intelligence” is a Saturday cartoon villain plot, and yet.

Image of Jennifer Keelan-Chaffins, an 8-year-old girl with cerebral palsy, crawling on the U.S. Capitol Building steps. She is wearing blue striped jeans, a blue t-shirt, and a white and red scarf wrapped around her forehead. Text on the image reads: "I'll take all night if I have to" - Jennifer Keelan-Chaffins, Capitol Crawl

Purple background with the words "Capitol Crawl" written in large font at the top and bottom of the image. Text in between is: On March 12, 1990, over 1000 protesters came to Washington D.C. to urge Congress to pass the Americans with Disabilities Act. Part of this demonstration, included the Capitol Crawl, in which more than 60 activists abandoned their mobility aids and crawled up the 83 stone steps that lead to the Capitol building. The Capitol Crawl was a direct physical demonstration of how inaccessible architecture impacts people with disabilities; and is cited as one of the most important catalysts in passing the ADA.

Today is the 36th anniversary of the Capitol Crawl, when 60+ activists with disabilities crawled up the steps of the Capitol building to catalyze the passing of the Americans with Disabilities Act.

“Fund the police” was Biden’s *applause* line in his first joint address to Congress. It was written to echo LBJ saying “we shall overcome” in his joint address as a lifeline to a movement under attack. I really don’t bring it up enough.

Screenshot of a Tweet by @TheChiefNerd inclusing an interview with Sam Altman. The text in the Tweet says: SAM ALTMAN: “We see a future where intelligence is a utility, like electricity or water, and people buy it from us on a meter.”

The whole "AI" industry is just based on the hope that they can deskill people fast enough that they'll have to rent back cognitive support systems. Forever.

It's like Uber. Just that they don't try to break existing transportation infrastructures but your brain.

New NHS England Review Excluded 97% Of All Trans Studies To Say Care Doesn't Work The new review has led to a ban for HRT through the NHS England system under the age of 18.

1. A new NHS England Review excluded 97% of all trans care studies to conclude that trans youth care doesn't work.

It explicitly violates several guidelines around reviewing literature, and appears to be politics masquerading as (shoddy) science.

Devastating reporting. Like RFK Jr., Kristi Noem, and Marco Rubio, Pete Hegseth is reshaping his department to indiscriminately kill tons and tons of children.

A major throughline of the Trump administration.

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.

The mother is an asylum seeker. Her 7-year-old is deaf and didn’t have his hearing aids when he was detained.

It's very hard for the public to learn who is behind these accounts, but if any prosecutors did want to take up this case, it would likely be trivially easy to subpoena all the evidence they need.

Jayme Lawson from Sinners hit the nail on the head and said how I felt with the whole BAFTAs situation.

A Lunar New Year illustration depicting a smiling horse standing in a field. They are being offered a flower by a rabbit in a dress. A dog person is sitting on the horse brushing it and a cat is standing nearby looking at the horse admiringly. Beneath the horse are the words "may 2026 be kind to you". To the right are the Chinese characters: "恭喜發財" (gong hei fat choi) which translates as wishing you happiness and fortune.

HNY everyone!

Jesse Jackson – a life in pictures The US civil rights leader Jesse Jackson, a pioneer of progressive Democratic politics, close ally of Martin Luther King Jr, and two-time candidate for the presidential nomination, has died at 84

“Jackson is arrested in 1993 after blocking 5th Avenue as part of a group protesting against the Clinton administration’s policy of maintaining a detention camp for Haitian political refugees who were HIV positive”

Remember this history as we remember this man.

Civil rights figures like Jesse Jackson are why black feminists are theorized intersectionality: he might have forged a multi-racial coalition but black woman weren’t always in that coalition. Complicated man, complicated politics.

I don’t know who needs to hear Jesse Jackson leading the kids on Sesame Street in this beautiful call-and-response reminding them that every child is somebody, but here it is
