The question isn't if I'm afraid for my safety because I am outspoken.

The question is whether I'm afraid of what could happen if people don't speak up.

The @chicago.suntimes.com photographer who risked their personal health and safety to take this photograph is Anthony Vazquez. Please credit photographers and media outlets. In this age of misinformation, a photo with no context could be anything at all.

I fear for all the women who are about to be forced into physical relationships inspired and run by chatbots designed by misogynistic men.

I fear for all those who will never know healthy sex based on respect and consent between partners.

I fear for those who must pay to maintain their partners.

In 2023, a program connecting Utah farmers and ranchers to free therapy vouchers was so successful, the federal money ran out in four months.

“I want you to know,” the program director recalled one recipient telling him, “that this saved my life.”

(Published April with @sltrib.com)
Utah Farmers Signed Up for Federally Funded Therapy. Then the Money Stopped.
Farmers are dying by suicide at the third-highest rate by vocation in Utah. But after a federal program offering mental health support ran out of money, the state did not continue it.

Tragedy for the indigenous people of Alaska. Remnants of a typhoon hit the off shore islands wiping away whole communities. Rescue efforts are very slim. People are stuck in their homes floating down rivers toward the Bering Sea!

Remigration was Germany’s non-word in 2023.

While it means to migrate back, it has become a far-right euphemism of forced repatriation. When the far right uses the term, it’s an overtly racist call for forceful mass deportation of non-white immigrants.

In case anyone was wondering about the U.S…
DHS post with word remigrate.

I bring you: the pouty presidency. And the essence of MAGA manhood: everything is someone else's fault. Ran across this trying to look up a Biden-era order.

I assume that every single journalist reading this understands that the *first question* to ask the State Department tomorrow morning is how quickly it will provide a list of foreign nationals banned from the United States for statements made about Democrats or Americans perceived to be left-leaning

Just so everyone is clear, the main issue in the Supreme Court voting rights case tomorrow is whether it's racist against white people to enforce the Voting Rights Act.

I'm dead serious. We live in incredibly stupid times.

Older white women are the largest demographics at any protest in my area. It’s always been this way.

On one of the smaller No Kings days protest here in my city, hubs and I drove past a suburban large senior residential village and there was a group of about 20-25 residents (many in wheelchairs) out protesting. They couldn’t get to an event, so staged one instead. We honked and cheered them on.

A friend of mine is providing childcare for protesters. She’s part of a support group for community action. It’s a good idea.

Even if they were intolerant or shitty before, I swear, something that happens when they get old is they just do not have a single solitary fuck to give anymore and it's a beautiful thing

My mom, oldest Boomer, who was a Republican up until 1992, and a very right Democrat since, has been going to Tesla protests and hanging out bracelets to people who thought they were the only Democrat in her old people suburb.

The Israeli army distributed leaflets in several areas with a clear threat not to participate in the prisoner welcome celebrations, or they would face severe punishment, according to the army. Razan, the daughter of prisoner Taleb Makhamreh from Yatta, south of Hebron, told Middle East Eye that the Israeli army brutally raided the family's home on Saturday evening and warned them not to show any signs of joy or celebration. She said they targeted the homes of three prisoners in Yatta who were scheduled to be released. She explained that her father would be released to the Gaza Strip without the family knowing if he were to be deported to Egypt afterwards.
