Representative Dingell (D, Michigan) just said in RFK Jr.‘s hearing that she asked the family of a child with measles why they didn’t vaccinate.
They answered “because we’re listening to the government”.
And we are CONTINUING to do this work, because it isn't over!
And if you're someone who wants to talk about what you're seeing--in government or tech--you can find me on Signal at Vittoria89.82

900lb crates full of onions in a field
The Coachella music festival is in the news with the minimum price of sold out 3-day ticket costing $549. Contrast that with "Nicolas" who is currently harvesting onions in the Coachella area and getting paid $22 for a $900lb crate. #WeFeedYou #coachella2026
ah, the warlord is failing to feed his Golden Horde well upon wine and flesh, surely this will end well
Billboard of an AI ad from Artisan with an AI generated image of a woman with long black hair and sharp cheekbones and text saying STOP HIRING HUMANS.
I live in one of the San Francisco #AI hotspots and saw this ad while walking to the library. They're not even pretending anymore.
What in the antebellum is he thinking? Any excuse to control the movement and lives of Black people.
And in between reading these live posts about #Vought's testimony, contact your Senators and ask them to remove him! Script here: docs.google.com/document/d/1...
I have a script people can use to call their rep and senators, demanding that they work to remove Vought: docs.google.com/document/d/1...
Want to defend your #library from attacks & ensure it can be that shared space so rare & important right now? Consider participating in your #FriendsOfTheLibrary group & attending the 4/22 @librariesftp.bsky.social Friends & Foundations Network mtg: www.librariesforthepeople.org/events/frien...
Agree that Vought knows exactly what he's doing. If anyone feels inspired, I've written this call script to help people contact their rep/senators about getting Vought removed: docs.google.com/document/d/1...
Dilley is evil and must be closed. It's a goddamn concentration camp. A moral abomination. People are going to Hell over this.
"Palestinian children are living through genocide, apartheid, military occupation, and the rapid expansion of illegal Israeli settlements. They are imprisoned in Israel's torture dungeons, buried under the rubble, [etc.] ... They deserve protection and the fulfillment of all their human rights."

Public universities and community colleges across Texas are being used as toys for political games. We're here to tell them: the futures of our students are not things to be played with.

This piece about community folks in Michigan organizing against a data center there is really inspiring: www.counterpunch.org/2026/04/10/h...
We have to try to save all of it! See the work I'm a part of at #DefendResearch: www.defendresearch.org
I figured living next to an ai data center would be harmful, but I didn’t expect it to be a literal Analog Horror Noise Generator
No signs of slowing down in Minnesota ✊
