"She broke more noses than any other person in central Montana."
As a former union rep, I know how vital unions are to protecting workers and winning fair pay.
But we're all tired of the backroom deals.
We deserve transparent leadership and independent unions.

Graham Platner, the guy who had to cover his Nazi tattoo to save his senate campaign in Maine, went on the YouTube channel “Valhalla VFT” in January where he said he’s a “longtime fan of the show.” Check out these vile racist thumbnails from the channel & reporting on the antisemitic host.
An original Nashville sit-in member, along with Diane Nash, James Bevel, and John Lewis. Trained in non-violence by James Lawson. At age 21, he signed a will before the Freedom Rides, knowing he could die.

@c19lap.bsky.social's Long COVID Awareness Month 2026 site is now up!
AFAIK, I haven't gotten COVID yet—but I know I could easily join the millions in the US who have LC. We must invest in research + treatment.
To show my support, I changed my profile; you can too: longcovidawareness.life/graphics

The Lancet also shares some responsibility here: It published Andrew Wakefield's bullshit study about vaccines and autism in 1998 that it would later have to retract. Kennedy (and Jenny McCarthy and Jim Carrey and Oprah) just ran with it. Wakefield would lose his license for it.
Please read this article to the end. Even before ICE got involved, this started because this *blind man who speaks no English and uses a curtain rod as a walking stick* got lost on a walk and some Karen called the police on him and they tasered and beat him bc he didn’t drop the rod. WTF

Normalize laughing derisively in men's faces when they deserve it.
Everyone who worked at this camp should go to prison.
JFC, cut that shit in half and you’ve eradicated hunger, provided healthcare for all and made education free for all Americans. What the fuck are we doing?
she's in a head to toe spangled bodysuit with mesh panels why are you in black pants and a t-shirt with three (3) rhinestones
Breaking down the math, we need 150 donors in district to give us $80 dollars each in order to unlock the matching program! I think we can do that fast! Out of district donors are still dollar for dollar! We want to be able to raise enough funds to run our race! Need your help! Every dollar counts!
You're laughing? The team that lends their plane for deportation flights and whose owner is best pals with Trump got utterly humiliated in front of a hundred million viewers, and you're laughing?
It was transforming the biggest NFL stage in the world into a sugar cane plantation that did it for me.
Like, the multiple layers of turning an American icon into a plantation and highlighting the history of exploitation of Black and Brown bodies by the NFL and American colonialism simultaneously?
Reminder that children, elders and immunocompromised folks etc implicated by their bringing this plague to DC certainly don’t have a fucking choice about this at all.
Sure this can happen in the bisexual socialist paradise of Iberville Parish Louisiana but what about Real America?
When Republicans do it / When Democrats do it
While I have a lot of people's attention:
As some of y'all know, I volunteer at a women's shelter in Brooklyn. Over the time I've been there, a lot of women have approached me about starting a knitting/crocheting group.
The Big Barrier to this is that there is no money for supplies. (cont'd)
The public made noise for Liam Ramos and it got him released from Dilley.
Now we must make noise for 7 year old Diana Crespo.
Her parents were taking her for emergency medical care when ICE grabbed them, and she’s rotting in the camp sick and exposed to measles.
Get them out!
Bondi directed federal agents to arrest four journalists.
Georgia Fort, Don Lemon, Jamael Lundy, and Trahern Crews.
All Black. All doing their jobs.
I may have a stroke.
Someone said protests don’t belong in church and it took every ounce of self-censure within me not to say “Deborah you are literally a Protestant.”
A PROTESTant.
I assume they think Luther was nailing Bed, Bath, & Beyond coupons to the door.
