“I can’t believe what you say because I see what you do.” — James Baldwin

I showed this to my kid and she totally understood it and now she knows philanthropy rules and corporate greed stinks

For years on my old blog I published the names of servicemembers who died in Iraq & Afghanistan. No other outlets were.

These are the first 4 Americans to die in the Iran War.
Capt. Cody A. Khork, 35
Sgt. 1st Class Noah L. Tietjens, 42
Sgt. 1st Class Nicole M. Amor, 39
Sgt. Declan J. Coady, 20

Text over an American flag background reads: VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE TX, AR & NC POLLS CLOSE TONIGHT

If you’re in Arkansas, Texas, or North Carolina, make sure to Vote Today if you haven’t already! Make sure you to check your polling place at vote.org 🗳️

If you get told you can not vote for ANY reason, or if you see anything strange CALL the Election Protection Hotline: 1 (866) OUR-VOTE.

There is no "fixing" detention centers. We are knowingly killing people as a policy choice.

OK "god bless america" and then naming every country in the americas from south to north is absolute king shit

Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

"Suspected political message" = in Spanish so the mouth noises scared me

BREAKING: The Epstein survivors are releasing this ad on this Super Bowl Sunday to send the message that they will not “move on” from the largest sex trafficking scandal in the world. #standwithsurvivors

Oh, my goodness! Ellie Kam & Danny O'Shea just brought so much beauty into the world!

Finneas and Billie

Finneas is better at political messaging than 99% of the Democratic consultants in DC.

On a similar note, as Mamdani continues to notch W after W you’re going to start seeing opinion pieces about how this could never work in any city other than New York, etc., etc. Do not engage! It’s just entrenched power bullshit and that’s all! Don’t let them make that a conversation!

The current Portland City Councilors who are endorsed by the police union are:

Smith (D1), Ryan (D2), Novick (D3), Zimmerman (D4), Clark (D4)

Listing them because the Portland Police Association is making it a fight to have a masking ban (for law enforcement) and a tear gas ban.

I have had teachers and mentors from all over the globe who have taught me this.

Liberation doesn't come from my weaponized guilt over harmful religion. Liberation comes from true solidarity with LGBTQ folk, other BIPOC, people who are not Christian, people who are not from the United States, etc.

Worries about vaccination rates in dogs As rabies seems to be spreading more in wildlife, veterinarians are especially worried about vaccine hesitancy spreading among pet owners, a dangerous trend that could lead to more dogs - and their owners- becoming infected. A 2023 study published in the journal Vaccine found in nationally representative sample of Americans that nearly 40% believed canine vaccines were unsafe and 37% believed that vaccines could lead their dogs to develop cognitive issues, such as autism.

May I remind everyone that there is currently NO cure for rabies.

May I also remind everyone there is absolutely NO scientific proof connecting ANY vaccine that we produce today with autism.

This is true regarding vaccination in both humans AND in dogs.

Vaccinate your pets please.

Bonus: Penzey's is an aggressively and unapologetically leftist company!

Donald Trump says he is deploying troops to Portland, Oregon Apparently misled by hyperbolic reporting from conservative outlets on a single small protest, president described peaceful city as ‘war ravaged’

I went to the ICE facility Trump claims is "under siege" by antifascists and "other domestic terrorists." There were four protesters there, one a thoughtful young man in a chicken costume www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

“Steve Held, the journalist arrested tonight and taken to a so far undisclosed location, was part of the reporting team that exposed the falsity of ICE’s official narrative on the fatal shooting of Silverio Villegas González. His work speaks for itself.”

Statement from Portland Mayor Wilson

I have approximately zero following on this app, sharing in the hopes it can get in front of the right person. A man I went to college with’s wife was kidnapped by ICE at a green card hearing, and he’s trying to find a reporter who will speak to him about the situation

Call Gavin Newsom's office like you called ABC/Disney/Sinclair/Nexstar

The disability community needs support & solidarity to fight these pharmaceutical tariffs.

Most of us can barely afford our medications as is.

We can’t suddenly stop taking them, we will die.

We can’t stockpile them.

A 100% tariff will cost lives.

the post office is a public service. it doesn’t need to make money. public transit doesn’t need to make money. the library doesn’t need to make money. some things exist for the public good and we desperately need lawmakers to stop thinking about them in terms of capitalism. these are not businesses.

Make it crystal clear for everyone in your life.

Stunning

yep yep yep.
