Check out this whole thread. Minneapolis and Saint Paul are still hurting. Folks are cautiously coming out of shelter, but need food to get them through until paychecks start up again or new jobs are found. ZCC is my mutual aid! Laura and I have been working together! Please share widely!

To be clear, Kansas Republicans rushed through a confusing and disastrous bill, created a panic, and wasted untold number of tax dollars all to target 300 out of the nearly 3 million people in the state.

Update/Scoop— New guidance sent this AM to Kansas DMVs indicates licenses that previously had gender marker changed not actually invalid yet. However, internally DMV can see who is flagged, and keeping track of who has/hasn't come in to update. Seems about 300 trans/GNC ppl flagged across the state.

Started following you for synth nerdery. The videos you have been doing lately are even better (and more important). Great work.

Everything about this regime is a grift. Everything. This is what authoritarians do.

White men are too emotional to own guns.

In this timeline, this was realistic enough that I questioned it for a moment.

These motherfuckers just making up bullshit at every single point.

Ho-lee Shit. This is phenomenally good news. Department of Education rolls back— for now— its attempts to destroy Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Accessibility initiatives. Keep an eye on them, of course, and watch for the hidden knife, always, but for now: Fantastic news.

Again, he doesn’t know how to interact with the world in any way other than as a rapist.

P.S. No one ever mentions nausea and vomiting as a symptom of stroke, but guess what? It totally is. And it persists afterward too. My poor mom.

My mom had 2 strokes a couple weekends ago & it took tons of logging & bothering people to figure out that her issue is that her brain thinks every movement should cause motion sickness. It also took a LOT of gentle prodding to get IV fluids after she barfed up everything for multiple days.

Fun with healthcare: We've all been taught that doctors are the ultimate experts on healthcare, but guess what? You're going to be responsible for doing most of the research to figure out what's wrong after you or anyone you know has been diagnosed with anything. Take copious notes & research.

Hi! I am anti-ICE. Fuck you, Homeland Security.

This is the template for the response to fascism by the way. Getting in trouble to punch fascists is, as this hero would say, "Okay."

it's hard to process this level of cruelty to children

For general strikes to be effective, they need to be sustained. In order to be sustained, there must be preparation from many angles. This is a nice list of things to think about if you're really actually serious about a general strike.

It is so refreshing to see smart people who can go off script, be charming and funny... and then come back to talking about concrete ways to make positive changes for people.

You know how I keep saying that every damn skill and capacity is needed in this moment???

What do you know how to do that can serve in this critical time??

About fucking time someone just straight out says it like this. No more pulling punches, Dems. Calling a racist a racist is necessary. Also, I love the previous clip about "The Epstein Class." Keep saying it. Call them what they are.

Arresting them for what, exactly?

What? You mean "wealthy NY real estate tycoon playing with daddy's money" isn't working class? Surely you jest. /s

“Renee and I chose kindness. We believed that every life deserves the same care, treatment, and dignity, no matter who they are or what they look like... That shouldn’t be radical. If it is, then I want Renee and our family to be known for how we practiced radical kindness every day.”

“Is it too obvious to say that of course the right only values family as a system of ownership and property, only values motherhood as a way to push women from public life… only values babies & births when they are white babies and white births, meant to reproduce the nation as they imagine it?”

Fuck these fuckers.

1. It was not an accident.
2. It was not a staffer.
3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia.
4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares.
5. His base agrees with him.
6. He will do it again.
7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

Do you ever just think about how Trayvon Martin should have turned 31 yesterday and no one ever got held fucking accountable that he didn't?

I do.
