NYC I love ya but we do *not* have this election in the bag. A lot of people with a lot of money will be doing a lot of things to get Cuomo elected and they will have learned from the primary and we have a *lot* of work ahead so please do not pat yourselves on the back yet 🥳

People and the media have accepted it as a normal political discussion that good people can disagree on but it’s straight up sociopath shit to take away someone’s healthcare and I don’t really have time for anyone who feels differently

We need a new generation of leaders who are the voices of democracy, freedom, social justice, & the rule of law. 

A new generation that gives meaning to the “we” in “we the people.”

Instead of fretting over Zohran Mamdani, the Democratic Party should embrace him as the future.

LMAO yeah “land of the free” alright. You cant even watch PornHub in this country without being put on a fucking government WATCHLIST but hey…here’s an AR15

Sam Reich flipping off the camera and saying "fuck you, society."

perhaps now it is i who is da joker

“I Have Lost Everything”: The Toll of Cities’ Homeless Sweeps Cities often take belongings — including important documents and irreplaceable mementos — when they conduct sweeps of homeless encampments. ProPublica gave notecards to people across the country so…

We asked people who lived in homeless encampments that were cleared out in city “sweeps” to write about what object was the hardest for them to lose.

“They took my baby pictures and my moms obituaries,” a 29-year-old in California wrote.

Every now and then it hits me that this isn’t just about 1 inhuman act or another, but a bigger picture.

That the entire democratic experiment in America is falling apart in front of our eyes. It’s historic in that sense. Which then makes me wonder why all media stories aren’t framed this way.

Today I'm finding out which people believe that if you're part of a population that is a small overall percentage of humans on the planet, it's okay to strip you of rights.

I wonder if they have considered how easy it would be to classify *them* into a small overall percentage, and do it to them.

Washington Post screenshot: “Asked about the Abrego García case yesterday, California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D), another 2028 presidential prospect, called it a “distraction” and shifted focus back to the lawsuit he was announcing against the administration’s trade policies. “It’s exactly the debate they want,” Newsom told reporters. “Because they don’t want this debate on the tariffs. They don’t want to be accountable to markets today.””

Gavin Newsom calls Kilmer Abrego Garcia a “distraction” @washingtonpost.com

What an absolute disgrace he has become.

Beyond repulsive and shameful.

im sorry to be so divisive and partisan but i dont think the government should be inventing a criminal history out of thin air to justify sending someone to a concentration camp in a foreign country

Vaccines. 💪🏻💪🏻

Aaaaaaahhhhh I turned off notifications and this delightful surprise was waiting for me! Thank you!

Proud Boys Lose Control of Their Name to a Black Church They Vandalized (Gift Article) A judge awarded the trademarked name and symbols to a Washington church to help satisfy a $2.8 million judgment against the far-right group.

Judge rules that Black church in DC, which won a $2.8 million default judgment against the Proud Boys, now gains control over the trademark “Proud Boys.” The far-right group is barred from selling any related merchandise or symbols without the consent of the church. Gift link:

I figure that me calling it out has done not a whole lot up until this point. I can't keep informed and still lead a happy, productive life

Weird that we have to say this, but the government doesn’t get to decide what gender a person is.

A thing that i believe about myself is that I'm the perfect amount of woke. If you're less woke than me you need to fix your heart and if you're more woke than me your friends and neighbors probably find you a little fatiguing

Thank you for that, I updated a bunch of stuff

fucked up that when you have a chronic illness you can also get regular illness too

You need some Be Steadwell on there

Often I think "I wish I had a lot of money so I could help people out in need" but I think the better thing to do is wish the system wasn't at incredibly fucked and everyone could just have what they need without stress

Sometimes I think, "Compared to geological time, living things exist for only little blinks," but other times I think, "actually, life is one continuous chemical chain that first formed billions of years ago and every mountain range that existed back then has long since crumbled away to dust."

I hope it's mild and your recovery is smooth

Everyone believes they’ll be the exception (this literally can’t be true).

They think chronic illness & disability won’t ever happen to them - or IF it does - they will succeed in getting help where others have “failed.”

These beliefs are at the core of why the blame us when we don’t get better 🧵

the "leftist" masking "debate"...... i won't make anyone mask but if anyone thinks wearing a mask is inconvenient or burdensome, your praxis absolutely does not include disability justice is all i have to say

Im gonna say it again: music is VITAL to games. Music guides players. Music enhances emotional moments. Music is so so so important. Funny enough video games are modern operas in the way music is needed to buoy the emotional stakes.
