I keep an eye on: Zeteo, Don Lemon, Katie Phang, Waj Ali, Rachel Gilmore (Canadian), 404 Media, National Observer (Canadian), Paris Marx (more commentary than news, tech focused), Tennessee Holler. There are a few more but I have to go look them up, lol.

i also check CBC, BBC, AP and Reuters

btw if you are trying to cut down on screen time, a way I've accidentally discovered after I had to reset my phone is... just never reinstalling some apps on my phone, and also changing the notification settings for others. As in push notifications, begone!

I hope you aren’t drunk and took your staff’s advice, Rashida and I don’t know this man and feel confident he didn’t care about us. Please restrain from drinking too much as you have been warned from your staff and stay off social media when you are drunk. I pray in his holy month you find peace and respect for your self,

uhhh oh my god

FEMA taps billions for disasters, warning Democrats of ‘dire’ shutdown impact The agency sent out more than $5 billion in a single week, considerably shrinking cash for disasters amid the DHS shutdown.

LMAOOOOOO.

Noem's strategy of pretending the Disaster Relief Fund was almost empty didn't work, so she drained it (bad) by paying out $5 billion in recovery projects (good).

This lady is fucking nuts.

The Department of Education is asking for comments on part of their program making fields largely occupied by women "unprofessional" as part of Project 2025 and they asked for alt suggestions. And I am sure they don't want to hear "tax the rich" but that's what they got.

Well, it was either world war three or letting black people have jobs, so I see why people just went with the world war

I don't expect people to read through horrific Trump-Epstein shit I repost or to even want that in their faces all the time, but with media shrinking under fascism, I do feel it's important to share some things in my tiny little space here.

Elite Doctors Served Jeffrey Epstein While Treating His ‘Girls’

The details in this story are shocking, and I hope people will spend some time with it, despite the *gestures* EVERYTHING ELSE HAPPENING. Some of these details have been previously reported. Other big ones have not.

One of the best things you can do to fight fascism is to openly have fun being weird.

Yeah. Exactly. But if they tell you voting doesn't matter, it absolves them from having to do anything. Convenient for them. Ugh

I actually view the doomer accounts and the "don't bother voting" accounts as fifth column shit.

I need to rant about something this morning.
I really am getting irritated by resistance accounts that, while otherwise approaching our problem correctly, keep telling us voting won't matter and the election won't be free and fair. Not only is that not helpful, it's actually harmful...

of the two articles currently circulating about Sheri’s Ranch which feature Jupiter Jetson, this one is way more worth your time. there is a fascinating and important story in the unfolding workers’ rights movement in Nevada’s legal brothels that will resonate with anyone who’s been a contractor

Don't be fooled by this bill's name-- this is a book banning bill that will exclude LGBTQ books from all public schools NATIONWIDE.

Call your congresspeople and tell them to VOTE NO on this nakedly bigoted book banning bullshit.

Important update: I was sent proof of another very large donation, and we are now at $38,247.98.

That is not a typo.

Today has blown me away and reaffirmed my faith in humanity. Can we make it into an even $40,000?

Hey, everyone, I am not currently *actively* looking or anything yet. So I am just going to save everyone's links to look at when things are more definite. I was just sort of venting last night. Thank you! 💜

The originals? Yeah those were when DSP had the rights, and they were by their head artist.

I'm not looking at all yet. Just considering it while I wait to see how ghosted I am. :)

Tweet that reads Leo Xander @STALLEON Stop taking social media so serious. Nothing here is real. Look at this chicken V - it is bigger than the car

I think about this tweet every time I feel something online start to curl its annoying little grip into my head

I don't watch hockey, to be clear. But I knew what the culture of it was like. And STILL, I was surprised that when the men's team jeered at the women's team, the NHL didn't rush out a statement of some kind just to cover their ass. They didn't even do that that I saw. That's who they are.

The New York Rangers expect me, a woman, to come back and watch the rest of the season after I watched the people who run the organization and two of its players laugh at female athletes. I think I’m good on hockey for the rest of the season. It’s been, like, really ruined.
