We had Angela Davis speak at my university a couple of years back. One of the many insightful things she said - protest in the way that aligns with your passion. If that’s poetry do poetry or music etc. Because then you will be able to sustain it. If naked bike rides are your passion, 100% do that.

Someone in my mentions is upset because these people haven’t suffered the worst at ICE’s hands and therefore they shouldn’t be praised for being out on the streets?

Yeah, no. To push back on these people we need everyone — especially those with relative privilege — to get up and get involved.

Cheese Nips Sportz (2000-circa 2010): Cheese Nips snack crackers in the shape of sporting goods and equipment, such as roller blades, tennis rackets, baseball gloves, and more. The name ended in a "z" as was the style at the time, to indicate an EXTREME form of plurality.

An orange Cheese Nips box, offering a "100% real cheese taste explosion!", and the word "Sportz", along with pictures of crackers shapes like roller blades, soccer balls, and baseball mitts

Remember that if the Democrats take power again, they will go into great detail telling you why they can't do things.

You will tell them that Trump did those things, and they will say he broke the law.

You will then ask why he hasn't been arrested, and they will be very quiet.

A 15 year old boy with autism went missing earlier this week

He was selling fruit with his family in Springbranch when he disappeared

They filed a missing person’s report & begged the public to help find him

Turns out he was in a Houston ICE detention facility

They kidnapped a disabled child!

After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation

Their goal is revenge against every scientist who told them something they didn't want to hear or made them feel inferior by knowing more than they do.

WTF is their goal? Small government means every man for themselves when the next catastrophe hits? What is the point? Government isn’t a business, it’s a service for the people. You’re saving minimal money with these cuts and only hurting literally everyone

What The Trans?! 🏳️‍⚧️ @whatthetrans.com · 1d

I'm 24 years old. I have a mortgage and own my own home, and I have a full time job.

But under Cass' recommendations Levy, I wouldn't be trusted with hormones if he decides to consider it.

Shows how ridiculous it all is.

These new figures come in the wake of 2024's Cass Review of gender services for children, which recommended the creation of a 'follow-through service' for 17 to 25-year-olds. Cass said this would help "ensure continuity of care and support at a potentially vulnerable stage in a trans person's journey" and "allow clinical and research follow-up data to be collected". This sparked fears that access to healthcare, such as hormone replacement therapy (HRT) would be restricted or even banned for under-25s -

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.
