@repstansbury.bsky.social: "This is gangster activity. The president is trying to shield pedophiles by calling and threatening members of Congress. We need more members of Congress, whether it's the Epstein files, the shutdown, health care, democracy, the rule of law, to just fucking do their jobs."

It's easy to hurt others when you are hurt, but I grew up with a person who does that so child me decided that there's no reason to spread misery. That's what it does to be hateful: multiply it. Choosing joy even in the hard is worth it. We can feel miserable and intense pain but choose actions.

My publisher’s been very patient. I’m not doing everything I said I’d do to promote this book (out in a few weeks) because I’m an organizer in a city under federal attack. My days are full and emotionally exhausting. Any help getting the word out means a lot. It's a book people need right now.

Okay, I can't physically go to my cats at the moment, so today's obligatory #caturday photo is of one of the shelter cats. She's as soft as a chinchilla but quite shy. She loves gentle pats though and purrs every single time I've pet her during her weeks at the shelter.

And we're still here and still carrying the history they're so desperate to erase.

Racism hurts everyone, and the racists KNOW that and are willing for SOME hurt as long as others hurt more. That's the fundamental drive from the populous ( versus the reasons from the rich) that we got to this point this specific time. Open Racists admit it all the time in person.

Unfortunately in the USA the decades of backlash against learning multiple languages means even when we explain it, monolingual people still won't process that. But current teen German language learners seem happy to remind people and THAT brings me joy.

Asking people about their opinions on Arabic numerals and dihydrogen monoxide have long been fun to ask about when you need to get someone to see they are being stupidly bias.

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

Reporters: stop using the deferential term "detaining" when talking about ICE goons' abduction of innocent people from US streets. You proper term would indeed by "abduction", but if you want to pretend neutrality you could use "capture", which at least says nothing about the captors' motives.

Autistic truth makes people uncomfortable because it’s not performative.

We name what’s broken without decorating it.

It’s not rudeness.

It’s clarity.

And clarity is sacred.

The Trump administration on Saturday scrambled to rescind layoffs of hundreds of CDC scientists who were mistakenly fired on Friday night in what appeared to be a substantial procedural lapse.

If you have an avatar created by AI WTAF are you doing following me? There's SO MUCH ART out in the world and you're probably using a phone with a camera for this platform. We're adults; I expect better.

Dear Speaker Mike Johnson,

We the PEOPLE think Congress, especially those of us you TARGET, should have WORK REQUIREMENTS. Since you have sent everyone home since 9/19 (last time House was in session) it should be retroactive for any member NOT in the chamber.

Fondly,
AMERICA

PS YOU WORK FOR US!😡

A Newsmax host defended ICE agents shooting a minister in the head with a pepper ball by falsely claiming he was “actually an antifa member masquerading as a pastor.”

Um, do people not realize how our bodies get rid of dead cells? This is going to live rent free in MY head now T.K. not fair!

This is all in previous American history. All of it. It rings loudly of Indigenous massacres. Everything being done by the Executive & Republicans has been done before. Right now they're echoing the set up of the Sand Creek Massacre, but because we erase history the public refuses to recognize it.

Racism is VERY much an every state problem. Northern NY born & raised. Boomers who have always been racist see Trump as God-given Tsar because they really ARE THAT HATEFUL.

Those who left their vote for president blank are trying to get me to see them as not complicit but I know they are complicit. ( I'm talking IRL people I've known for years.)
