Andrew starting out the @desertbus.org stream by acknowledging how scary everything is and calling out fascism specifically is exactly the energy I need from way more people with platforms. I look forward to this fundraiser of good people doing a good thing every year. <3

Teen brothers have been on the front lines of Midway Blitz, following the Feds and helping their neighbors. This is their story. “If I get the opportunity to fight like this for the rest of my life, I would be totally OK with that.” By @tesskenny.bsky.social

West Chicago brothers are on the front lines against ‘Operation Midway Blitz.’ And they’re only teenagers.
The wave of youth activists who have been galvanized into action by “Operation Midway Blitz” follow a long tradition paved around the world by young activists.

Hey so “underage girls” are…children. The word you’re looking for is children. They’re not like, women-in-waiting or women-lite or whatever. They’re children. I think some of you are very uncomfortable with what that means for you but it is still true.

May ICE have a miserably cold day in their fake military gear (I hope their toes get cold), may they have a hard time driving in the snow, and may they slip on unsalted sidewalks.
Thanks for the assist, Mother Nature.

You don't have to buy all new stuff for every holiday every year bc of trends/influencers. As a thrifter, SO much holiday microtrend stuff just winds up at Goodwill. So much so that I think of it as landfill-core now. The stuff you already have is probably perfectly fine. <3

I think democrats should push for a thorough review of all Elon Musk govt contracts as part of their 2026-8 portfolio. Why are taxpayers financing the work of a racist near-trillionaire? Leaving that unexamined was one of the biggest failures of the last Dem majority.
