Your bad cold is likely COVID. Your horrible allergies right now are likely COVID. We're in a massive COVID wave. If you test the first day of symptoms on a rapid test it is likely going to give you a false negative - you need to test again in 48 hours and again 48 hours after that on a rapid test.

Blueprint

4 frame comic. an woman with grey hair and a yellow scarf is getting interviewed on the street. the interviewer asks : ma'am! what do you
think of the radical left
fearmongering that
we could someday see
fascism in the u.s.?
she replies :
dear
boy, the u.s. has
been a blueprint
for fascism all
along.
hitler specifically cited
jim crow, u.s. anti-miscege-
nation and white-only immi-
gration laws as inspiration
for his eugenics policies.
germany sent people to study
what was being done in the
u.s. to export it over there.
in the 30s, tens of thousands
of americans attended massive
rallies by fascist groups such as
the friends of new germany or
the german american bund.

then in the 40s, two dozen
congresspeople were charged with
sedition for planning a fascist
overthrow of the government.
and since wwII, the
amount of fascist groups
and militias has been
exponential.
not only can
fascism come to
the u.s., it has
always been an
inherent part
of american
society.

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.

Preorder Read This When Things Fall Apart @mskellymhayes.bsky.social · 1d

They're talking about killing leftist activists. They're talking about murdering people organizing in defense of immigrant communities, doing mutual aid work, and protesting their violence. They are talking about murdering people like me and my friends. We must do more than acknowledge it's fascism.

My gosh. After the US bombed multiple boats in the middle of the ocean, murdering people on grounds that they were allegedly "carrying drugs," the US Attorney General says "Just like we did with cartels, we're going to take the same approach, President Trump, with Antifa."

THAT'S JUST A Segway to remind you that the FNAF creator/this movie's screenwriter, Scott Cawthon, donates the money he makes from FNAF stuff to far right politicians, many of whom are currently trying to make things worse for everyone, specifically trans people. Don't support this film.

This whole series has been great, and genuinely moving, despite (or because of) being polished campaign video.

It is so rare to see those techniques—with that *surety*—used to say things like this, from positions like this, with a platform like this. No hedging, here.

UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

Guillermo del Toro and Netflix have announced plans to form a new stop motion studio that will be both a studio and a school to push the medium forward and will develop plans to make Del Toro's next stop motion project after Pinocchio. I'm very hyped to see what this leads to!

My first thought was “wow I hope this guy didn’t give out his name because he could absolutely be charged” and yup, he is correct to stay anonymous.

This man’s account is shocking. His neighbors’ situation is shocking. The entire Chicago raid is shocking.

On the other side was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for his help.
"I wasn't planning on letting her stay, but I didn't know what the hell was going on," the man said of his Venezuelan migrant neighbors. But he quickly relented. The little girl was inconsolable and hid under his bed.
"I didn't want them to take her," said the man, who didn't want to be named because he fears he'll be targeted by federal authorities for his actions.
"I gave her my bedroom, and I just told her,
'Just stay there. Don't open, don't, shh, just stay quiet," he recalled telling the mom and daughter as he choked back tears.
