Social media started as a fandom thing during the pandemic (diverse friendships/romances in comic, sci-fi and fantasy settings with a sprinkle of reality tv), but I find myself posting about politics these days. πŸ€·πŸΎβ€β™€οΈ She/her.

Now is the time to support your local PBS and NPR station. Now that federal funding is over and the corporation for public broadcasting is officially shuttering. We are the only ones keeping the lights on at NPR and PBS.

The Israeli government is perpetrating a mass starvation campaign by blocking life-saving aid from reaching Gaza.

Tens of thousands of children are at risk of death due to Israel’s blockade. Hundreds of people seeking food and aid have been shot dead by IDF troops.

New rule: no criticizing the way others choose to resist unless you have a better, actionable idea and kind, constructive feedback. New ideas are good! Performative contrarianism is useless.

The facts are on my side: I was at Delaney Hall to do my job. Through their actions, this administration has made it clear that this is political intimidation, but I won’t roll over. I am looking forward to my day in court.

Shooters were dressed like law enforcement and this is exactly why I’m pissed about ice officers wearing masks, driving unmarked cars and not being identifiable when they terrorize communities

The Minnesota assassinations, the attempted arson at Governor Shapiro's home, and the violent arrest of Senator Padilla are all straight out of the Jim Crow terrorism playbook. Same goes with cops aiming for journalists covering the ICE protests.

None of these are new tactics, just a new iteration.

I am in downtown Los Angeles right now and it is completely surreal to hear that Trump is sending Marines here. We are listening to mariachi music. People have dogs. There are teenagers here. It is utterly and completely peaceful. Please tell your friends.

Deploying Marines to LA isn’t normal. It’s a gross abuse of power similar to what we see from dictators around the world, setting the stage for martial law or full-on authoritarianism.

MUST WATCH: ICE kidnapped a disabled American citizen.

Her name is Alma Bowman. Born in the Philippines while her dad served in the U.S. Navy.

She’s lived here 48 years.
They crashed her wheelchair, denied meds, cut her off from her lawyerβ€”and jailed her.

She. Is. A. Citizen.

According to FlixPatrol, #TheWheelOfTime is still the #6 show globally on the Prime platform. It's the #2 show in May, it was #1 in April and it's the #4 show from the past 12 months.

Make. It. Make. Sense.

RIP Justice Souter and thank you for stepping aside at the right time so we can take today to reflect on your legal legacy and not worrying about what horrible ideologue the regime would be nominating in your place.

This is an obvious point, but cannot overstated. There is an enormous difference between deporting someone - where they get off a plane as a free citizen in their home country AND FUNNELING THEM INTO A BRUTAL PRISON FROM WHICH THEY HAVE NO CHANCE OF EVER EMERGING!!!

This did not feel like a series finale. I’m hoping they secretly know that they are getting a season 4 and the only question is how many more seasons they get. 🀞🏾 The numbers seem decent and major outlets are covering the finale.

I’m so glad that he is alive! πŸ™πŸΎ Now bring him and everyone else sent to the gulag back. Some of the men may be deported in the end but not without due process and not to a life sentence in foreign prison.
