Apparently RFK is trying to walk back his bullshit comments by saying he doesn't mean autistics like *me* are bad and awful and need to be irradicated; no, he just wants to get rid of the "low functioning" autistics and let me just say FUCK THAT

I'm not more worthy of existing than autistics who 1/

Massive protest happening in Union Square right now to defend trans youth from President Trump’s attempts at eradication.

Btw; just to break toxic fanboys brains: here is Gene Roddenberry literally saying he wished he had gay sex and wishing that he was nonbinary.

They want to bring back a world where vicious public racism is A-OK

A tweet from J.K. Rowling (@jk_rowling) features a photo of former U.S. President Donald Trump sitting at a desk, surrounded by a large group of women and girls who are clapping and smiling. Trump is holding up a signed document. The original tweet criticizes "every single person on the left" for campaigning against women's and girls' rights. However, the tweet has been edited with red markings to replace "every single person on the left" with "me" and "you" with "me," altering the message to imply self-blame. The tweet timestamp reads 4:27 AM, Feb 6, 2025, with 7.2M views.

the world they built sucks shit, have they seen what it's like to be alive right now

LinkedIn post: On January 24th I formally resigned from my position with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). I started at CDC in 2010, and I have spent 20 years in public service, including my 15 years in service at the federal level. Here is a little bit of what I wrote in my resignation, because I'm not sure that anyone is actually going to read it. "I feel honored to be among the public health professionals that have had the privilege to work at CDC. As I reflect on my own experiences and accomplishments during my time here, I am humbled by the magnitude and the importance of our work. To my colleagues: we have worked together through chaos and uncertainty, transition, reorganization, preparation, and response. You are the most selfless, dedicated, and passionate people I know. I have watched you work around the clock, take additional details, deployments, and responsibilities, try to balance work and family, forego self-care, and keep pushing and work together to protect the public’s health. I’ve seen your sacrifice. I want you to know that your support and guidance has been invaluable, and I am proud of the work we have accomplished together." While I was backing up files I found my oath that I signed in 2010. I believe in our work, and I am sad to be leaving federal service. But I have immense gratitude for all of the opportunities that I've had and the connections that I've made. I will continue to protect the public's health in a different capacity (stay tuned...) but for now, thank you for trusting me.

The policy lead for CDC's H5N1 response has abruptly resigned.

Sources tell me CDC's response to the bird flu pandemic has been severely hobbled by the chaos of the past two weeks.

Elon Musk tweet: We spent the wekend feeding USAID

Imagine you were the richest man in the world. You could have anything you wanted, go anywhere you wished, do whatever took you fancy. How would you spend your weekend? Depriving the poorest people in the world of food and healthcare and boasting about it?

“I would punch a N*zi.” Um, you won’t even wear a mask.

This is what revisionist history looks like, in real time. And this also is why it might appear that archaeologists and historians have to dig deep to discover the existence of powerful women and marginalized groups -- because their legacies are so often erased.

If you oppose DEI you should have to use the full phrase, “I oppose diversity, equity and inclusion.”

Bonus points if you add your points, “I oppose disabled veterans equal access to employment.” “I oppose mothers having jobs.”

Making it an acronym turns it into a thought-terminating cliche.

gravity is doing a better job opposing the GOP than the Democrats are

I'll probably find the results bad, but it is funny for now that the CIA is getting right wing coup'd.

today would be a great day to delete your twitter account completely

people, the new administration is a) completely unconcerned with the actual law and b) very online

please stop posting about the crimes you want to commit, especially in my replies

your opsec is not as good as you think it is if they decide to go after you for whatever reason

it’s not that i’m trying to act younger than my age, it’s that i’m genuinely immature

The people who think they are good at everything because they are good at coding are also bad at coding.

Front page of the nyt

In 2016 the NYT ran multiple front page stories page about the grave national security risk of Hillary Clinton's server.

Today's front page, and nary a mention of the successful "plutocratic coup" (said by a sitting House member) or "constitutional crisis (said by a sitting Senator) unfolding

elon musk is the shadow president and making up what he deems legal. he genuinely wants it to be a crime to know who is working for him

we wouldn't need "fast travel" if our game studios invested in accessible and affordable public transport infrastructure. skyrim should have a tram network. assassin's creed should have several regular bus routes. give ghost of tsushima a metro

hello. in case you're still on the fence - this is actual fascism.

it's not an indicator that the government is turning toward or at risk of fascism. it's actual fascism, right now, today, being enacted. this is an active coup.

i suggest joining protests *today* as a show of force & resistance

if gamergate proved anything it's that the leading edge of reactionary movements in the US is nearly always gamers

On the bright side, I guess I should be proud that, as a complete nobody with a tiny following on social media, I am as powerful and effective as all the Democrats in the Senate put together.
