I bet someone is gonna try to say I’m being ableist. Whoever tries to play that game doesn’t have long covid. Sorry. This is not that sort of disability where you just figure out how to live your life as before but walk with a cane. LC is profoundly life altering & limiting. & it’s very common.

Are there things you can do as an organizer despite being chronically ill? Yes absolutely. But managing a chronic illness, especially one that 50% of the time results in having less energy and experiencing PEM will make it harder for you to do even desk based tasks. The powerful want to disable you.

Getting long covid will make it much harder to do organizing or mutual aid work. If you want to preserve your ability to help, wear an n95 when you share air.

From chaos to radio silence: How ICE tactics changed in weeks leading to Homan announcement In recent days, observers have noticed a shift in methods.

ICE observers in Minnesota are skeptical about the White House's claims of a federal drawdown.

But they have noticed in recent weeks a shift from aggressive street sweeps in Minneapolis to instead target people in the suburbs or quietly waiting in unmarked vehicles of residential areas.

“DHS traps people with serial killer methods” arrives in the news one (1) day after “DHS taunts jailed children with Nazi methods,” for those keeping track

CCTV footage appears to show DHS agents posing as people having car trouble in order to lure a target out of his house before arresting them. The target comes out and starts helping them before 3 vehicles surround the scene. The car "experiencing" trouble then drives off with them.

"Oklahoma has around 130,000 private water wells, essentially straws that drink from shallow groundwater reserves with minimal filtration ... Oklahoma oil companies left behind tens of thousands of unplugged wells that belch greenhouse gases and allow industrial waste to spread belowground."

The thing that makes this extra funny to me is that I think the cat is about to say this is all moving too fast…

i'm just a simple country lawyer, not any sort of columbia j-school grad, but if a former president of the united states told me "aliens are real" - i'd ask a fucking follow up question

YouTube video by The Interview Gisèle Pelicot Opens Up About Surviving Years of Secret Abuse | The Interview

Many women will be triggered by Gisèle Pelicot’s story. I followed the trial but to hear her own words is powerful. I’m full of admiration, she’s more than still standing & changed the law in France. AND she’s found support & love 💕 Lulu does an amazing interview #Pinks youtu.be/RKc6OvAakIc?...

I think the fact black journalists were put into metro , sports, foreign, or web coverage while white journalists got the hill and White House bears explains quite a lot.

Weird time to be writing horror when the most horrific thing to happen in my lifetime we're all living through it; government, socio-political, global wide betrayal, abuse, corruption, unsolved deaths, missing people, manipulation...

Fwiw, I also wrote this whole thread about the benefits of using alt text for artists! bsky.app/profile/mann...

Francesca Albanese is the GOAT, these ministers need some critical media literacy training and then to back the fuck up

I've slept a bit on this other than a few posts, but one of the most brazen things happening in state governments right now is that the Kentucky GOP is trying to impeach a liberal justice (and the first/only Black woman to join the court) because of a vote she took last year they don't like.

if you're an older person who finds words like mogg and maxxing annoying, just starting using them. people over the age of 30 have the superpower to end trends by simply adopting them

Capsule vending machine at a Piggly Wiggly. The text reads "STRESS BEARS - COLLECT THEM ALL" Between the words 'stress' and 'bears' is a cartoon bear that looks like it's just become self aware. The bottom of the image is 3 different colored toy bears; brown bear, pink bear, and a blue bear

Men are ruining hobbies

I have learned to be extremely cautious about characterizing any kind of game as “addictive.” Too often, it is a way to demonize playful dedication. So when we say that gambling is addictive and dangerous, I am in.

STOP READING SHIT ON SUBSTACK. IT IS RUN BY NAZIS. STOP PAYING MONEY TO THEM!!

Drones used in Israel's genocide of Palestinians are now surveilling Americans. Why isn't corporate media covering it?

According to Nate Bear's Substack ¡Do Not Panic!, after October 7, US drone manufacturer Skydio supplied more than 100 Al-powered surveillance drones to the Israeli military for use in Gaza. By 2025, US police departments across major cities began deploying the same drone models to monitor protests and public spaces.

Skydio now holds contracts with more than 800 US law enforcement and security agencies, up from 320 in early 2024. Federal agencies, including Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Customs and Border Protection (CBP), use drones to track and pursue targets, while police departments launch them hundreds of times a day in towns and cities nationwide.

A March 2025 rule change expanded police drone use by allowing flights beyond visual line of sight and over crowded areas. The New York Police Department alone has flown drones more than 20,000 times in under a year, including at political protests.

AI drones used in Gaza are now surveilling American cities…

And corporate media isn’t covering it.

awoooooo

Calling the requirement for a judicial warrant before entering a person’s home one of the Democrats’ “new restrictions on federal immigration agents” crosses the line into outright falsehood. It’s in the Bill of Rights! A rule as old as the republic.

Nothing to see here…just more criminals buying their way out prison.
