This post has convinced me to finally get around to reading the Elizabeth Ann Seton biography that’s been sitting on my bookshelf for years

hi, cis folks!

the comment period for the proposed rule to remove trans care from the ACA as an essential health benefit is open til april 11. it'd strip care from DACA recipients, too.

context & guidance in the thread. do it while you’re still fired up from/about protests.

only 4.5 days left!

people being in the streets means something. never let your cynicism convince you otherwise.

Might be cheesy but I keep telling myself the quote from Fellowship of the Ring:
“There is naught that you can do, other than to resist, with hope or without it. But you do not stand alone”

The Chiefs can still be named Super Bowl champions if Mike Pence has the courage.

Quote from the linked NBC article “‘In agreement with our service providers, TikTok is in the process of restoring service,’ TikTok said in a post on X. ‘We thank President Trump for providing the necessary clarity and assurance to our service providers that they will face no penalties providing TikTok to over 170 million Americans and allowing over 7 million small businesses to thrive.’”

The democrats banning TikTok was the most efficient I’ve ever seen them be. All to provide Trump with the easiest political appeal to young people imaginable

I feel like I’m being pranked

this urge to launder rfk jr. as “just a guy who is right about a few things” is such a perfect example of how liberals are people who won’t take their own side in a fight

My resolution this year (and every year) is to be a more available, supportive friend as well as an increasingly looming, formidable enemy.

I hate being a Bengals fan

400+ years after the "First Thanksgiving" most Americans have no idea that the Wampanoag people are still here. My tribe, the Aquinnah Wampanoag, is on Martha's Vineyard and we're still fighting for our land and rights. We’re also doing some cool stuff. 🧵👇 if you’d like to learn more & support us

Screenshot of a NYT Cooking post on Facebook. Post text reads “Perfectly poppable and cheesy inside and out, these two-bite snacks can shift from a dream to a reality - and feed a crowd - in well under an hour.” Followed by this link “https://nyti.ms/4eIL1d3”. The picture to go with the post features 4 grilled cheeses with the crusts cut off on a baking sheet with text reading “Meet Cheese Dreams, the Most Retro-Chic Appetizer

Was going to clown this but actually I would like everyone to start serving me grilled cheese apps

Look I’m a communist from Kentucky and I am continually at odds with the Kentucky Democratic Party- and I don’t always agree with Andy Beshear’s politics- but he ran a campaign in Kentucky that rarely ceded that the Republican framework was correct and won twice.

How Must We Reorient Our Movements Under a Second Trump Administration? It is crucial that we rethink our approach to direct action in a potentially authoritarian, dictatorial context.

I think we need some sources here. I’m pretty confident this is inaccurate
