I feel this way about pretty much all vaccine-preventable infectious diseases. You shouldn't be allowed to dump cyanide into municipal drinking water and you shouldn't be allowed to recreationally spread viruses around shared public spaces.

Activists Are Fighting ICE Even Though It Could Get Them Killed. Here’s Why. ICE is still trying to subjugate Minneapolis. It's still failing.

This is beautiful. Thank you, @laurajedeed.bsky.social , and thank you to everyone who was interviewed.

This is the second account - the first being in Chicago - of DHS agents mass detaining people and then *sorting them by race*.

With Ring, American Consumers Built a Surveillance Dragnet Ring's 'Search Party' is dystopian surveillance accelerationism.

NEW: Ring has introduced "Search Party", a horrifyingly dystopian feature nominally designed to turn all of the Ring cameras in a neighborhood into a dragnet that uses AI to look for, in their commercial, a cute lost dog.

starting to feel like there's a direct relationship between the growing obsession with lifestyle hygeine (no drinking, no caffeine, no sex, obsessive working out and looksmaxxing) and the inability to meaningful moral stands on issues of actual import

**IT saved the WI women’s health advocacy group.

As a person who created THE sign that went viral in 2016…

Our sign raised MILLIONS for orgs like the ACLU.

I helped save a struggling women’s health advocacy group in WI.

It’s had so much cultural impact that the NYT ran a front page hit piece on it 8 YEARS LATER.

THESE THINGS MATTER.

People keep complaining about the red hats because they’re not “real” protest but that lady has raised and donated over $600,000 to her neighbors in MN *and* is the the daughter of a refugee from Egypt. Y’all gotta sit with those impulses and then calm tf down and think about WHY you feel dismissive

Honestly I’ve had a lot of luck with just having porch geese.

You are the BEST. My cats are currently losing their MINDS.

*Green card application in process and work permit, married to US citizen
*Lived in US for 20 years, no criminal record
*In detention for five months with no charge, despite judge approving release
*He disputes ICE claim that he signed forms agreeing to deportation

Reflecting on this, I think everyone should have the experience of getting documented proof that yes, in fact your enemies are conspiring against you.

Reason fired @shikhadalmia.bsky.social for being too anti-Trump.

I have been hearing snippets of Bad Bunny nonstop for HOURS since the halftime show because my husband cannot stop watching any- and everything about the performance. Truly delightful. 🕺🏻💃🏽

You love to (not) see it

oh my god this is even lower than the funniest low number I was imagining

A brown tabby cat with a white bib and white paw tips licks the head of a dopey orange kitty who is deep in bliss.

Wow hello new folks! We are here to take care of each other. That is all.

6697 When it comes to choosing between storing a championship ring or trophy in a room, or providing kids with an opportunity to change their lives, the choice is pretty simple. Sell it all. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, on auctioning his memorabilia

KAREEM RULES.

The point of the AI project is to provoke despair in creative people. They haven’t produced profits or anything anyone wants, just a steady stream of articles about how us artistic types can’t do the thing we’re already doing, making art. Jokes on them, we’re even better at despair than they are.

I have yet to see any evidence that there is a market for AI-generated books outside of people being tricked into thinking they are not AI-generated books. AKA, it is a project of scamming and deceiving people, and really should be treated as fraud

The Atlantic wrote a piece saying the Epstein Files are not a big conspiracy but then there's a photo of the owner with Maxwell

america really is the main character of the world, but in the twitter way

And while everyone is feeling good about Benito giving a Grammy to someone who is not Liam Ramos: Congress can pass a personal bill to grant citizenship to Liam Ramos, his family and Kilmer Abrego Garcia.
