I think it's a waste of time to spend your time on social media yelling at people who have the exact same level of power that you do to change the world which is to say very little.

It IS a good use of your time to enlist other people into actions and projects you would like them to join with you.

Trump Administration Live Updates: President Orders Law Enforcement Surge in D.C.

Trump, who never walks around DC, is sending unspecified number of federal agents to the capital, complaining that crime is “out of control,” even though crime rates in the city have fallen significantly.

This demented old man equates power w violence www.nytimes.com/live/2025/08...

Not surprised people are attacking me for not performing activism in the specific way they think I should.

Policing other people is so much easier than actually doing effective work of their own.

If all you do is harass marginalized people aren’t you doing the bad guys work for them?

So don't

To quote a dear friend: “Blessings be upon this angelic genderfucky lad.”

i want to note that the christofascist attack on "porn" isn't actually an attempt to make the internet or the world child safe in any real way. these people abuse the fuck out of children and oppose sex education largely because it makes children able to identify and name that abuse

Ending Crime and Disorder on America's Streets By the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered: Section 1.  Purpose and

And now, an executive order that calls for the involuntary institutionalization of the homeless and mentally ill without due process or clear release criteria. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

Today someone asked how much I would pay in taxes to ensure everyone had housing & healthcare

I don’t know, whatever I could? This isn’t the “gotcha” folks think it is

If we taxed the rich properly, the rest of us wouldn’t need to pay exorbitant taxes to ensure every single person was provided for

Listen, they won’t leave him over sexual abuse charges, but they will leave him over high grocery, gas, and utility prices…

Rent is skyrocketing and wages are stagnating. Talk about the economic pain. They will deny abuse, but they won’t deny their light bill.

They don’t practice empathy.

Ex-farm worker here.

We need to talk about this whole "But a living wage for farm workers would spike the cost of food!" thing.

Not true AT ALL.

Y'all don't understand how fast experienced farm workers are.

The average tomato picker pulls 650lbs per hour.

At $20/hr, that's $0.03/lb for labor.

Tech bros don’t want to save the world. They want to own it, brand it, license it, and charge you a monthly fee to visit.

The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe.

Will we listen to his words today?

I wish building a concentration camp and selling merch was attacked as much as suggesting taxing billionaires 2% more to pay for free childcare and buses for everyone.

This is what DC government is funding. In lieu of money for housing, healthcare, anything that matters. We have 5 cops getting paid to sit at an empty park. #decrimpovertydc

The BBB, and it's $930 in Meducaid cuts will pass, along with the massive tax breaks for the ultra wealthy. The GOP is going to kill so many of its rural constituents... and the ones who live will only love him more.

Yes, he's polling poorly, but he still has the power to do what he wants. If we want to stop him, we must *build the power* to do that. Sadly, we cannot disapprove our way out of fascism.

For years we've heard from the right about "welfare queens" and other so-called "freeloaders" pulling one over on the government.

But actually, it's the wealthy who are the real freeloaders — pulling one over on us all by skirting their taxes.

Where is the outrage over that?

THE PENTAGON BUDGET JUST HIT A TRILLION DOLLARS.

Not a single pundit from either political party said “how are we going to pay for it?!”

Don’t dare tell us we cannot ALL have healthcare, housing, and education.

Oh snap!

Democratic House Rep. Jasmine Crockett on Donald Trump:

"Let's talk about housing. HUD announced plans to gut fair housing rules meant to fight discrimination. You know, the same ones that he violated back when he was a landlord so many years ago."

Photo of a book cover that says WE WANT THEM INFECTED How the failed quest for herd immunity led doctors to embrace the anti-vaccine movement and blinded Americans to the threat of COVID Jonathan Howard MD

RFK Jr., Makary, and Hoeg want people infected with vaccine-preventable diseases and they do not give a damn that some of us will needlessly become seriously ill, become disabled, and will die, including children. @joho.bsky.social even wrote a book on the topic.

there is simply no amount of child death that will move RFK to change his mind because he is a predatory narcissist who cares less about health than the gratification of his own ego

Jeanine: We found out there are people who are between the ages of one and four who are getting social security

Jessica: That's the benefit for kids whose parents are dead.

We found the government “waste, fraud, and abuse”.

THIS IS TERRIFYING‼️

Dr. Peter Marks, former head of vaccines at the FDA, just had his last day—forced to resign or be fired because he wouldn’t lie about vaccines.

He gives a chilling warning: the U.S. is unprepared for biowarfare—because the response team has been gutted.

People are unwilling to believe this country could actually fall apart. They've been unwilling for the last 10 years. And it's that unwillingness that may well kill us in the end.

Anecdotal, but I'm definitely noticing an uptick in advocacy for violence here. About which I'll say only this: Promoting violence on social media is the work of trolls and fools, those eager to bait others into implicating themselves in the age of surveillance or fools rushing to the gulag.

a man in a suit and tie is saying `` the party planning committee is all over it '' . Alt: GIF from the office showing Michael looking tired, staring into the distance and saying "the party planning committee is all over it"

CDC, get ready to partayyy!!!! Return to office is Monday and it’s going to be a clusterf*ck. Manage expectations accordingly. This is not about efficiency, it’s about trauma and making us want to quit. So let’s make this fun. Bring snacks and décor. Laugh a lot. Give grace.

#laughingisresisting

Schumer says they’ll fix DC funding in a standalone bill.

I’ll take things that aren’t going to happen for $500, Alex.
