Y'all remember the original 4400? that number of people appear in a ball of light in the middle of a lake; turns out they'd all been abducted at various points in history & returned to the "present"? Y'all remember the eventual backstory/lore reveal? Because I'm thinking about it a lot, these days…

And yes, we are all struggling to survive and just want to focus on our own lives and our own streets and our own neighborhoods, but that is the trap. Our fight has to be for the wider world, for the future, and for those who don't look like us or share our demographics. Or we all lose everything.

I just saw someone arguing that people doing the "grocery buddy" thing where they buy groceries for a family affected by SNAP cuts are ... "just trying to make themselves feel good" and they really should donate to food banks instead.

I told them their argument is evil.

"In order to keep the Epstein Files from coming out" that's got to be part of the sentence

SNAP benefits are about to expire for millions.

Health insurance costs are about to skyrocket for millions.

Food prices are rising.

The government has been shut down for 25 days.

What is Trump focused on?

Tearing down a section of the White House to make way for a billionaire-funded ballroom.

The richest man on earth owns X.

The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros.

The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.

See the problem here?

For clarity’s sake, Fruit helped out with story development. Grief? Fruit’s idea. Also helped with the dialogue choices. I didn’t have the health to take on writing the whole thing alone, so their help was conditional in my working on it. Thanks again, friend

Would you like to play a video game? Cause I wrote one, with a little help from my friends when the brain fog fogged. Play it here: raisingmorgan.itch.io/raising-morgan

Here is a very specific thing you can do right now that will meet the moment quite nicely Maybe do it five or six times, actually

"You want a movement, I hear. We all do. But the question is never “will somebody do something?” They are. We are. Our job is to notice, and to ensure that none of our flames burn out."

Also our job is to join in, where we can, how we can, with what we have.

My therapist keeps whispering "cringe" under her breath. She really gets it.

“You’ve read your last free article”. I haven’t read the first one yet

ICE has increased its spending on weapons by 700% since Trump took office.

You read that right — SEVEN HUNDRED PERCENT.

Trump is building his own personal military to terrorize American cities, trample on civil rights, and intimidate his opponents.

Trump's shutdown isn't just imperiling millions of Americans' healthcare coverage.

Nearly 42M people could lose critical food assistance when SNAP funding runs out in two weeks.

Republicans think this shutdown is about punishing Democrats. But in reality, it hurts everyone.

We're going to talk about c19 today and I'm going to ask you all in advance to not zone out like you do when we're talking about it in person😑

Covid not "a cold" - it attacks every system of the body, making it weaker to every other kind of infection. There's another illness that does similar.

And if you stopped masking it’s okay to start again.

It’s worth it.

We’ll be on the streets on 9/28.

In the meantime, please help a dog and her human by boosting our fundraiser and helping us prepare for being unsheltered homeless. Thank you.

“Miss Major told us that our shared task is to build an ever-growing network of physically protected physical spaces that can shuttle people between them, feed them, be fluid, growing denser and denser until it blots out the rest of the world.”

A nationwide backlash to AI data centers is brewing.

And for good reason: while AI enriches Big Tech CEOs and props up the stock market, data centers are sucking up communities’ water and power.

When the AI bubble bursts, the rest of us will be stuck holding the bag. Be warned.

This is a great time to be donating money to local food banks if you’re able. With cash they can get exactly what they need, sometimes for way cheaper than you’d be able to. If you prefer to donate food and goods and whatnot CALL THEM AND ASK THEM WHAT THEY NEED FIRST!

“Oh, but you can go back to school to reskin, to find something you can do even with LC”

Setting aside “that’s not how LC works”

they fired everyone in the office for civil rights in the department of education

people who have absolutely no idea, not the first clue, about how debilitating the brain fog is. And saying “oh, it’s okay, you can get SSDI” was *insulting* before, now during Trump II it’s straight up sadistic

It’s really disheartening to see people who admit this regime is doing eugenics fail to understand the ways in which chronically ill, disabled, and immunocompromised people are just absolutely fucked by Long Covid

A tweet by Robert Reich reads: “The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion. The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion. Read that back. When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.”

Yes, we indeed have a serious problem.

Explain to me why “conversion therapy” is banned in 28 countries and ABA is not, when they have the same creator (O. Ivar Lovaas) and utilize similar if not identical principles, techniques, and goals (forced assimilation).

Another thing regarding mutual aid & who your community is, is a lot of disabled people in particular are very isolated. They're in deep poverty & complete abandonment. Literally. So they hop online to have community. Sometimes it's the only community they have & the only way they can get help.
