Welcome new followers. I'm a disabled queer Latina writer from Texas who is raising a couple of dogs, a few kids, & countless cats. I'm a leftist who holds the radical belief that people should have what they need to live comfortably. My husband thinks I'm funny so maybe you will too.

“I don’t have a name when I ride this big airplane / They just call me one more deportee.” @smithsonianmag.bsky.social www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/t...

The Only Recording of Woody Guthrie Singing the Protest Song 'Deportee' Has Been Released for the First Time

The singer-songwriter recorded the audio on a reel-to-reel tape machine in his apartment in the 1950s. Now, the previously unheard song has been restored using A.I. audio technology

i’m just, so amused at all of this. yes it is awful the frog is a symbol of social alienation and grassroots resistance, with a hint of dadaism in it and for this to show up at Portland protest against ICE is so very on track

ppl would wear these all over china in diff cities selling little frogs and thats why it’s called 卖娃青蛙，the frog who sells their babies. it’s an iconic chinese grassroots symbolism in criticizing capitalism and pressure from systems

so the frog is 卖娃青蛙。https://m.thepaper.cn/newsDetail_forward_23101624 it was designed by a mom with the last name Tong in Nanjing, inspired by the toad in en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calabas.... it is a mascot of 躺平culture (lay-flat, against capitalism)

I have fucking had it with the edgelord leftists who quote post my shit with incitements to violence, like I'm sorry either you're the fucking feds or you're somehow even dumber than they are.

the frogs & the wine moms are doing 100x the work y'all are by dooming and posting nonsense.

Like I know there are edgelord leftists out there who look down their noses at shit like No Kings but sorry you guys, the more mass protest looks fun and family-friendly, the bigger it gets and the better its chances of being broadly effective

Trump said he deserved a cut for brokering the TikTok deal, and at once there was agreement that his son Baron would have a top executive slot... though he hasn't asked for it, and has no apparent qualifications to hold it. This is how Trump 2.0 works. www.telegraph.co.uk/us/news/2025...
