That’s my baby girl 😌

She sounds like an old lady, snuggles against my chest, and snores and mumbles in her sleep.

I love her so much

Controversial opinion, but I think trans people should feel safe here on bluesky, and nazis shouldn't.

Every person harmed by Charlie Kirk’s proactively malicious agenda has a family. Every teen girl he told rape wasn’t real, every non white person, every trans person, every non Christian person has a family. Every other person killed by a gun he rallied for, they all have - or had - families.

The fact that right-wingers commit the vast bulk of domestic terrorism in the US is well-established by numerous expert investigations & reports.

But the right *accuses* the left more often, makes more *noise* about it, so they've bullied reporters into framing this as a "both sides" problem.

Mapping Community Defense and Care in Our Neighborhoods This worksheet can help us prepare for Trump's military interventions at the neighborhood level.

Last night, about 60 Chicago activists and organizers gathered to discuss Trump's threatened military occupation of our city. Our convo centered around a worksheet that some friends and I put together this week—a tool that can help us build and strengthen local networks of support and protection.

every “ancient tradition” was invented between 1848-1870 and every “modern perversion” is so ancient as to predate writing

The United States military is the largest carbon emitter in the world.

SEVENTY FIVE PERCENT of global military carbon emissions are from the United States.

Working class people cooling their apartments with air conditioning is not the problem.

The audacity of shaming people for using the AC when corporations are burning up entire ecosystems with the computers that power AI.

People don’t fake disability, they fake being well.

They aren’t stealing your tax dollars, they’re forced into legislated poverty.

They’re not the reason you can’t get ahead. Denying them healthcare or social supports won’t better your life.

Also, almost everyone ends up disabled eventually.

Calling collect and speaking really fast to tell someone to pick you up at the airport when you were told to speak your name.

Also hand cranking down your windows in the car.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.

Clinton, Clyburn, Summers, Palantir, Bloomberg, NYT, Wall St, AIPAC...all tried their best.

The entire establishment went full racist and Islamophobic in the end.

Still Mamdani won.

Biggest F U to the Democratic Establishment and 1% since AOC win.

Wow.

if it wasn’t already clear to you before, it should be clear to you now, that current dem leadership has opted into a strategy of waiting out trump’s term. maybe they get some power after the midterms but it’s clear where it will be wielded: to bargain and compromise, not in oversight.

God my absolute heart is with the people of Iran, who’ve fought so steadfastly for their own liberation, and are getting fucked half a dozen ways by a whole pantheon of geriatric war criminals while being told they should be grateful for it

May every single human being on this planet be safe.

May every single person be protected from harm.

May we bring into being a time in which we are all free from those who do evil— together, speedily and in our days.

Everyone running for public office needs to unequivocally say whether they support Trump’s attacks on Iran — attacks which put hundreds of millions of lives at risk.

My answer is an unequivocal NO and there’s no excuse for a candidate to say anything different.

The US is arming a literal genocide, has blocked international action against that genocide, and has now started a war with a sovereign nation by bombing some power plants its own intelligence reports are simply power plants - all on behalf of the country committing genocide.
