Reminding all the Latinas being farmed tradwife nonsense on social media that you are hisPANIC not hispeace. TQM.

Hello, I am an Afro-Latin actor. I will be cast as Black or Latina, but never Afro-Latina. Either way, most of my roles will either cast me as a criminal or the help.

I’ve spent the last few months reviewing primary sources concerning the founding of the early American republic. For the Fourth of July, I thought we should read the charge sheet that is the Declaration of Independence together. A few comments before we jump in.

This is the exact right time for MTV to bring back Celebrity Deathmatch. Who knows somebody at MTV??

Jennifer Ehle and Colin Firth are the hottest Lizzy and Darcy - Fight Me.

People spend a lot of time wondering why the left is worse at using independent media to control the national narrative.

A useful exercise is to ask why the left is also worse at selling snake oil and pyramid schemes, because I think the reasons are basically exactly the same.

US measles total climbs to 800 cases, 10 outbreaks Lisa Schnirring. April 18, 2025 Topics: Measles SHARE Amid a rising number of outbreaks, including a large one centered in West Texas, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in its weekly update reported 88 more measles cases, pushing the national total to 800. Blianol/Stock The pace of activity in the first 4 months of the year is well on track to pass the 2019 total of 1,274 cases, which was the most since the United States officially eliminated the virus in 2000. In its update, the CDC said 94% of cases this year are part outbreaks, which have reached 10 now-3 more than the previous week. Half of all US states have reported cases, some of which are linked to international travel. Among illnesses reported so far, 96% of patients were unvaccinated or have unknown vaccination status. So far, 85 patients (11%) were hospitalized, with the number of deaths remaining at 3.

Thanks to Trump and MAGA, US measles has now climbed to over 800 cases, across 24 US states and has also affected Mexico and Canada at the border. #EndAutogenocide

There’s a cruise…

Autism isn’t a disease, it’s a neurotype. Just like the neurotype that people with power have dubbed “neurotypical,” the autistic neurotype is morally neutral.

Saying our lives don’t have value because we don’t serve the interests of capital is not morally neutral, however. It’s eugenics. And evil

*Begging* journalists/media to use the correct terminology

• Arrest w/o due process = unlawful arrest

• Confinement w/o due process = KIDNAPPING

• Transportation across state/international borders w/o due process = HUMAN TRAFFICKING

• Politically-motivated internment site = CONCENTRATION CAMP

A tricky thing about modern society is that no one has any idea when they don’t die.

Like, the number of lives saved by controlling air pollution in America is probably over 200,000 per year, but the number of people who think their life was saved by controlling air pollution is zero.

It’s actually every Republican, Chuck. Every damned one.

Robbery suspect who collapsed at Rikers has died, the 3rd death of 2025 connected to NYC jails Ariel Quidone had been held in the Robert N. Davoren Center at Rikers since March 7 after he was arrested in Manhattan in conenction with two robberies, records show. He collapsed and was then tran…

This is at least the 36th person to have died at Rikers since Mayor Adams took office.

Let's be clear: Rikers is a man-made disaster, and more than 80% of the people confined there have not been convicted of a crime. It must close - now.

Look, Elon Musk gets a lot of hate, but it’s not nearly enough. I think we could do much better.

Let’s rent a minivan and goooo 🍨

It took seeing adult bullies to understand that my childhood bullies didn’t even really want to hurt me, they just wanted to feel powerful and how I felt about it wasn’t even in the equation.

I can’t imagine someone not outgrowing that, but apparently it happens quite a lot!

Are you bored tonight? Send your five accomplishments, maybe your shopping list, or your five thoughts on Elon from the past week to OPM at HR@opm.gov.

Also if you feel strongly about Eric Adams, you should call your city councilmember to express that and ask for their position.

You’d be surprised. Hochul’s stance is highly disappointing but it doesn’t come from nowhere. Press all your electeds. City elections are in 5 months. Ask candidates too.

Screenshot of an email from NTEU. It says: NTEU Response to “What Did You Do Last Week?” Email NTEU Members, Today, an email from HR@opm.gov was sent to all employees with the subject "What did you do last week?" The email asks that employees respond by Monday, 11:59 PM EST. NTEU is advising all employees NOT to immediately respond to this email and to await further guidance. Once again, agencies were caught off guard by these emails, just like the chaotic "Fork in the Road" email. This email is yet another attempt by the administration to scare hardworking civil servants who deliver for the American people every day. It is shameful. We will update you soon.

Federal employees, unions are advising not to respond to the “what did you do last week” email.

Everyone else—not saying you should necessarily email HR@opm.gov with your accomplishments to put up on the fridge, but if you felt so inclined, consider a temporary email like tempmail.altmails.com

If you have the coin, toss a few to ProPublica

What the actual fuck?! America, it’s time to rise. When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty!

Immigrants. DEI. The transgender community. It’s all about making you hate your neighbors instead of the billionaires getting rich off our backs.

The 50501 Movement has planned protests at all 50 state capitols and the U.S. Capitol on Presidents’ Day at noon. While mainstream media isn’t covering it, many YouTubers have stepped up to provide coverage.

This administration has convinced half the country that the real problem isn’t the billionaires who evade taxes and collect government handouts, but the working class who pay taxes and get nothing in return.

Seriously, creative folks: Don't be afraid to let people know your stuff is out there for them, or worry that "now is not the time for that." People are stressed and freaked out and looking for the things that will give them a moment of rest and joy. It is EXACTLY the time for what we do. Tell them.

Gov. Hochul rejects extradition request by Louisiana for doctor in abortion pill case The development occurred after a grand jury in West Baton Rouge Parish indicted Dr. Margaret Carpenter and her company over accusations she prescribed abortion pills online to a pregnant minor.

Good.

It's no secret that anti-abortion extremists are hell bent on expanding their hateful agenda and eliminating access to abortion care for people across the country. Today, the Governor made clear, as our shield laws do, that we will not tolerate it here in New York.

“Can you believe Elon asserted that it’s a crime for a journalist to disclose the identifies of his crew, while he doxxed the daughter of the judge who is faithfully applying the law?”

Yes.

What you see as “hypocrisy” on his part is just authoritarianism. 1/🧵

Remember: using your people power to influence powerful corporations in the oligarchy is civic action too!
