1. Stop assuming people announce all their activism on social media.
2. Stop demanding people announce all their activism on social media.
3. Stop deriding people for not announcing all their activism on social media.
4. Dunking on people on social media isn't activism and isn't praxis.
This is horrific. An innocent man is being held in prison in a foreign country simply for being brown.

"There’s no overstating the impact here: Title X is a safety net. Six in 10 women who visit a publicly funded clinic consider it their usual source of medical care; for four in 10, it’s their only source."

If you are a Southern California person upset about @schumer.senate.gov ‘s craven betrayal of our country, the theatre his book tour will be at on 3/23 is the Moss Theatre.

This, precisely, is what I think Dem voters want from their representatives: direct confrontation with people who are used to bullying others both as a matter of substance and style. You don't have to back down to these fucking clowns.
"Tariffs are a tax cut for the American people" -- Karoline Leavitt turns reality upside down, then gets mad at an AP reporter after he pushes back
🚨 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.

Today, the House GOP censured me for speaking out for the American people against @POTUS’s plan to cut Medicaid. I accept the consequences of my actions, but I refuse to stay silent in the face of injustice. #WeShallOvercome x.com/repalgreen/s...
If its not antisemitism when Columbia let alt right Nazis speak on its campus, but somehow is antisemitism when people peacefully protested genocide of Palestinians on Columbia's campus—then you'll have to stop pretending it was ever actually about antisemitism.
A woman in a wheelchair cries out as she is manhandled by four police officers, pulling her out of her chair.
A man with a red and white cane shouts as he is dragged on his knees down a hallway in the Capitol building.
CW police brutality to disabled people
As we see calls for civil disobedience ramp up again, I want to remind folks that 50% of excessive force deaths in police custody are disabled people. There is a misapprehension that cops are hesitant to harm disabled folks. That is not true.
French Senator Claude Malhuret:
"Washington has become Nero’s court, with an incendiary emperor, submissive courtiers and a jester high on ketamine... We were at war with a dictator, we are now at war with a dictator backed by a traitor."
@daniellemoodie.bsky.social and I discuss how Trump and Republicans are making Russia great again at the expense of America. We bring receipts.

Yall better be both sharing the Stand up for Science posts /and/ figuring out how to get your butt to one of them!
@standupforscience.bsky.social
We are experiencing an assault on science unparalleled by anything I’ve seen in my life. It’s not one issue or another anymore, the entire institution is under attack by the most powerful individuals in the country.
This Friday, where will you be?

Rubio terminated 5800 USAID contracts – more than 90% of its foreign aid programs – in defiance of the courts.
Here’s a list of just some of the lifesaving awards that were terminated. Nearly all were Congressionally mandated. They’ve saved millions of lives. 🧵
This is evil. Pure evil.
Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...
Morning Joe bent the knee to Trump fascism & Joy Reid demanded justice against Trump fascism.
Morning Joe whitewashed Netanyahu’s genocide of Palestinians & Joy Reid called out Netanyahu’s genocide.
MSNBC protected Morning Joe & fired Joy Reid.
I’m just not qwhite sure why.🤔
Okay so you know I like to remind everyone how the American immigration system has been cruel for a very long time. But loading people on flights to deport them to countries that they are not from, like Iranians to Panama, is not business as usual.
Crockett: "It's just that they're idiots. These are the same guys as it relates to our nuclear stockpile, they're like, 'Oh, wait a minute, we needed those guys? Can we get them back? Oh, we don't know how to.' I don't know how anyone can look at this administration & feel a semblance of confidence"
Van Hollen: "Can you imagine FDR in the middle of WW2 saying to Churchill, 'you know, we're not going to continue to help you until you turn over half of your coal and mineral reserves.' That's not how you behave when you want to support a friend who's under attack by an authoritarian like Putin."
Build the wall! Around DOGE!
Honestly this could go either way TBH
JFC indeed.
I wrote about the worst people in the world, charting the depths of their depravity and vastness of their incompetence, and offered some thoughts about the opportunity presented by their failure to acknowledge reality and their refusal to access any form of human virtue.
