The fact that Googleโ€™s AI is pushing pseudo-science and fake products when you try to look up medical/dental questions before it even suggests something normal should tell you a lot about ai. And who funds it.

History is a muse, always watching, and we canโ€™t help but perform for her. The only question is what story she will tell of us. #Poetry #Writesky #WritingCommunity #Politics

ICE was flawed from day one... born out of post-9/11 fear and built on policies that blurred national security with domestic control. Some systems donโ€™t need reform. They need to be abolished.

My poetry gets more attention in comment sections than my own accounts and idk what that says about algorithms but I do not like it #Poetry #Writesky #WritingCommunity

Jeffrey Bezos is destroying the Washington Post for the same reason Musk destroyed Twitter and Ellison is destroying CBSโ€”oligarchs oppose the free press when if it threatens their wealth and power.

They donโ€™t want normal people to see what is happening in America.

I don't post enough about the other central pillar of my politics, aside from anti fascism: being anti car

cars are bad in almost every way, especially in cities

if you go to even large, bustling cities that are actually dense, they are quieter than US cities because you can get away from cars

I chose my pen name as a joke when I applied to a convention I never thought Iโ€™d get into (I had maybe 2 followers in Tumblr, thatโ€™s it) and now I hate it, but Iโ€™ve sold zines with that name in it ๐Ÿ˜… A conundrum #WriteSky #WritingCommunity #Authors #Writers

Donโ€™t dumb your work down. People are capable of learning new things and those that donโ€™t want to probably arenโ€™t big readers to begin with.

Sometimes screaming into the void feels lonely, it's nice to read a book that sees everything you're going through, and gives you something to take back with you. They also help quiet the noise for a little while. These are my recs

In a way, your grandma is rightโ€”schools do indoctrinate kids through propaganda. It has taught kids to hate Jews, Black People, Palestinians. This is EXACTLY why education needs to be free, open to all, and cured of false narratives. Thatโ€™s why liberals value freeing it and why they go to college.

Every year, education becomes more inaccessible. It grows more restrictive, censored, controlled, elitist. Students in school fight back because they recognize the pattern. Itโ€™s in their history books. Restricting education is ALWAYS about power. Look to schools in Jim Crow US, Nazi Germany, Israel.

Conservatives need you to believe schools are the problem, so that you wonโ€™t go to school and control your kidsโ€™ education & they can have generations of uneducated voters without the skills to think critically about conservative arguments. They go after teachers, journalists, librarians. For power.

Conservative politicians get most of their votes from poor, uneducated populations. They run campaigns on defunding schools, banning books, banning subjects, etc. Why? The same reason liberals value educationโ€”education teaches you to think logically.

31.01.2026 17:25 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

Liberals value education.
The vote to fund education, support teachers, make education accessible and affordable. Of course liberals would attend college. Like the elderly, they seek community that shares a love of education.

Now, letโ€™s talk about why conservative media spreads the lie about school

Itโ€™s INSANE to suggest church causes dementia, yes? Then letโ€™s think logically.

Dementia primarily affects the elderly. A high percentage of the elderly population attends church because they hold traditional values, seek community, or are coming to terms with mortality. What about schools?

31.01.2026 17:17 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

There are more liberals in schools. There are more dementia patients in churches. But their causes are not environmental.

Letโ€™s break down the legitimate reasons for these statistics.

โ€œThere are so many liberals in schools, schools must be indoctrinating themโ€ is as evidence-based as โ€œThere are so many people with dementia in churches, churches must cause dementia.โ€

Itโ€™s this fundamental misunderstanding of statistics that the right-wing media exploits.

THE COST OF RESISTANCE


How tight will the noose get
before your lungs stop breathing?
How hard will the boot press
before your jugular bursts?

When the bullet hits your throat
will your flesh let you scream loud
enough to make someone hear?

How pure must a migrant be
to earn human dignity?
How white must a woman seem
for her death to mean something?

When the gun is to your head,
will you stay so calm and kind
in the face of certain death?

How many lives must be lost
to get your resistance?
How many sons will it cost
to buy Godโ€™s forgiveness?

When the fire you lit yourself
licks hungrily at your door
who will be left to save you
but those you saved before?

Reposting for the #GeneralStrike We all pay the cost of resistance one way or another, you can only hope that you get to choose when.
