If you can't move from one neighborhood to another without being profiled, you don't have freedom of mvment. If you can't drive a car without being profiled you don't have freedom of movemt. If you can't walk down the street w/out being stopped and frisked YOU DONT HAVE FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT. Period.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have developed a cancer vaccine that has shown STUNNING results, PREVENTING up to 88% of MULTIPLE aggressive cancers by harnessing dual-pathway nanoparticles that train the immune system to recognize and destroy tumor cells. In some cases, it COMPLETELY prevented metastasis.

The loudest "NEVER SAW THIS COMING" people are people who were told this was coming and argued that we were fear mongering. You never saw this coming because you looked away.

I never get blocked as much as on the days i point out the every single thing that is happening now is something that multiple people from multiple spheres of life/influence said would happen. People's refusal to ask themselves "why didn't i believe them?" is preventing progress.

Downingtown elects Pennsylvania’s first openly transgender mayor Democrat Erica Deuso defeated Republican Richard Bryant in the borough of Downingtown’s mayoral election.

This is easy news to miss in the surge of amazing results last night, but my tiny town of 9,000 elected the first trans mayor in the history of the state. Congratulations Erica Deuso!!!! whyy.org/articles/ele...

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.

Here's how to turn it off.

First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

This means if you are in the habit of saying things like "fuck Trump" or "I hope Cheney burns in hell", probably a good amount of your feed isn't seeing those posts because, unbeknownst to them, Bsky has shielded grown adults from "rude" "threats" like this.

50% of workers can't afford healthcare.

People are using buy now, pay later apps to go into debt to buy groceries.

GoFundMe has 250k pages for medical bills and 40k for tuition.

… and Elon Musk gets a $1 trillion pay out.

And people think moms getting SNAP are the problem.

BREAKING:

A federal judge finds the Trump admin "did not comply" with his order to fund SNAP benefits.

Judge John McConnell has verbally ordered the admin to *fully fund* SNAP benefits for the month of November — by tomorrow.

This is really impressive. They invented racism.

Stop sharing AI slop.

It's one thing if you don't know or just made a mistake. No need to breathe down someones neck b/c its harder to tell nowadays.

But if you do know (ESPECIALLY IF YOU DO KNOW) even if you're posting it to make fun of it or sharing it unironically... consider not doing that.

Watching RFK jr run away from someone collapsing feels like a harbinger of things to come

Everything about making video games is harder than you think.

GOOD, gtfo and take your insider trading with you

Really hard to escape 2009 these days huh

I am repeating myself, but ICE is (and has since its inception) inflicting generational trauma that will express itself epigenetically in the very DNA of the children of these victims, and of their children, and theirs after.

Every single day.

We’re stoked to bring this project back and cant wait to share it with y’all 🍃 #ttrpg #ttrpgs #thequietyear #CapCut

you shouldn’t talk to a journalist about how people in need of abortions access them when abortions are outlawed, and this is no different.

shutting the fuck up is free.

this truly is the thing that brings me real joy because this is the piece that’s replicable everywhere. if enough of us show up, their millions of dollars in dark money, bribes and attack ads accomplish nothing. Mamdani is clearly a generational talent but he won’t be the only one we find if we look

Don’t cross the picket line! Plus it’s so easy to get coffee a n y w h e r e else!

I was laid off from Teen Vogue yesterday, along with 70% of my incredible team. @teenvogue.com

bluesky moderation decided to label mel's entire account so you probably won't see her fundraiser for bottom surgery. now you will.

Word. Aldi's has a deal to feed 10 for $40. The Target deal is 4 for $20. Not only is Aldi's better financially, it's not run by simpering ring-kissers.
