Nice message but still not a fortune. They really should just call them advice cookies

So Iran used to have a political faction called the reformists who wanted to move towards a more secular gov, but they were gradually cracked down on and thrown in prison and on house arrest. Multiple of the major leaders still alive were killed in the bombings from my understanding.

Gen Z. Can confirm. Way things are going Alpha is even more fucked

just became aware of this--the regime wants to clear-cut massive chunks of Oregon's old growth forests in the name of timber production.

you have until March 23rd to comment.

i know we have endless fucking things to scream at politicians about--this is an important one too.

An actually democratic Iran would be a progressive force in the region and would *really* destabilize the world historic tyrannies we prop up in the Gulf

It’s not lost on me that this is happening during Ramadan and during fasting hrs.

A digital drawing of author Maia Kobabe, a white nonbinary person with short brown hair wearing a patterned blue shirt, who scowls while holding up a copy of eir book GENDER QUEER: A MEMOIR. Maia is saying: H.R. 7661 is a national book banning bill which seeks to remove any book that "involves gender dysphoria or transgenderism" from all public schools in the US. This would ban my books, and any other book with trans themes, from public schools. PLEASE call your House Reps and say: NO ON H.R. 7661!

Abolish the legal gender marker entirely. No government can be trusted to have a database of which people have changed theirs, no government has any business tracking what your gender is "supposed" to be in the first place.

The Handbasket 100% independent journalism by Marisa Kabas

Now that CNN and WBD are set to become state media in a sale to Paramount/Oracle/TikTok, it is especially important to support independent media.

How to Support Trans People in All 50 States A curated list of 100 organizations supporting trans rights and livelihood to which you can donate.

as long as folks are enthusiastically donating to state level trans orgs today, figured I'd reup this list the @them.us team and I put together a few years back: www.them.us/story/orgs-f...

(some info may be outdated, but use this as a jumping-off point!)

Imagine you've been standing your whole life and you get to sit down for the first time. That was what visiting the Netherlands was like after living in the US my whole life

The ultimate goal of the Kansas state government & other state governments like them is to torture and kill trans people.

Refusing to put trans people in the prison marching their gender identity & denying access to gender-affirming care kills.

You think we’re being hyperbolic? Google “V-Coding.”

Read some of the autobiography of malcom x. Good read, highly recommend

Minutes into the State of the Union, Rep. Al Green (D-Texas) was escorted out by the Sergeant at Arms for holding up a sign, "Black People Aren't Apes" -- a reference to Trump posting a racist AI-generated video depicting the Obamas as apes.

🧵 DHS/Kristi Noem responded to Rep. Paul Gosar's letter and questions about the proposed concentration camp in Surprise. Incredibly disturbing that DHS describes this industrial warehouse in the desert as "humane" and overall there's not *much* new information but I'll highlight some answers below.

Reminder for fellow ADHD people who have a hard time not doing things at the last minute. 😩 This affects voting by mail but also beware of anything else time sensitive that you have to mail.

Local zoning is the way! A lot of these are being stopped or stalled by neighborhood organizing.

These warehouses often need to be purchased, permitted, approved for occupancy and specs. Each one of those steps can be interrupted.

Ppl are pressuring corps not to sell, counties to deny permits, etc

Oh and @trackaipac.com which promotes candidates that refuse to take money from Israeli PACs

I'd suggest seeking out endorsements from @chandlergilbertindivisible.com and @endcitizensunited.bsky.social

Really truly go look at the other skaters in this event all of them look like they're having the worst time of their life and then Alysa is just out there having the most fun she's ever had it's Astonishing

Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Last March, a 23 year old named Ruben Ray Martinez was shot and killed by an ICE agent. He was a U.S. citizen from San Antonio.

ICE did not disclose for 8 months that they were the ones who shot Martinez. Americans deserve immediate answers and an independent investigation of the shooting.

Yeah it’s true

Concerned about ICE's $45 billion plan to convert warehouses into immigration detention centers? This is what they'll look like inside. From ICE's plan for the Social Circle, GA facility. Each little dot: a person. www.socialcirclega.gov/home/showpub...
