Steps taken this week to unf*** my life: Started an antidepressant (prescribed for arthritis pain); reminded myself I have to take iron daily or I can’t function; downloaded Ecosia for my default browser.

Not sure if this has been shared here yet, but this is video of Rumeysa Ozturk's arrest posted by WCVB. It's terrifying.

I know I’m supposed to be watching my carbs but the local tamale place delivers, so of course I had to order them.

We are fighting like hell to stop Musk’s staffers. They come into our buildings, forcibly removing us with the FBI, U.S. Marshals, and police. This coup must be stopped.

Screenshot of details of mutual aid request:
Moot aid request for school stuff and groceries!!
$15 needed for testing
$25 needed for a few supplies 
$50-100 needed for groceries
Hi everyone! I start class on Monday, all onlineβ€” so I need a few supplies to get me through. I’m also retaking my placement tests on Monday, to see if I can test out of my some of my prerequisites needed for my program, and that is 15 buckaronis. All of our paychecks have gone to bills and rent and we are still behind, and haven’t been able to budget for the small things. 
We are needing help with groceries too, between gluten free prices going up, and general groceries going up in price as well, and lack of benefits, our pockets have been feeling it. Looking to get some comfort food and drinks for my studying tooπŸ₯ΉπŸ«ΆπŸ½

Any bit helps!

I don’t understand the criticisms of Meghan Markle’s Netflix show. I only found one issue: that she treated homemade refrigerator jam as though it could stay good outside the fridge.

I finally got to watch Rep. Zoe Zephyr’s recent testimony on a drag bill in Montana. Very movingβ€” and then a GOP rep stood up to support Zephyr, and used traditional conservative talking points (parents rights, etc.) to argue down the bill. State legislatures are where the action is!

Bernie Sanders is holding MASSIVE rallies in packed venues, bigger crowds than Trump was getting, and legacy media is practically silent. Bernie is talking to workers rather than hanging out with socialites with mediocre plastic surgery at Mar-a-Lago, and it's just not interesting to corporate media

Fascism and the University Higher education has historically been a bulwark against authoritarianismΒ β€” or its pawn. What’ll it be this time?

So, universities cannot remain quiet. We know what authoritarians do to higher education. 10/ www.chronicle.com/article/fasc...

You don’t have to have every answer. Doing what you can is critical.

We need fuckloads of people doing okay at and trying to getting better at fighting facism. We need every person we can get to be the bystanders intervening.

Break the surface tension. This isn’t normal. Say so. Act like it.

Senator Wyden confirming that RFK Jr. has stated repeatedly that all of his own children are vaccinated

RFK Jr. has had all of his own children vaccinated (he confirmed this 3 weeks ago). He just wants other people to not vaccinate their children. Especially Black people for some reason… He even required his guests to get COVID vaccines before coming to his party. www.thedailybeast.com/robert-f-ken...

It may not be cool or hip in some circles, but we legitimately do need a massive amount of people to run for office.

Flood the school boards, councils, county seats, state legislatures, Congress, etc.

Big changes at the top happen when the ground shifts at the bottom. And that can start now.
