hey i'm probably going to be more annoying around world AIDS day today this year with it being the first time in 37 years the u.s. government is willfully ignoring it & forbidding any funds from discussing it -- especially as since around 2019, there's been outbreaks around the country

American history 101. Teach the next generations all of it.
There's another dimension to this Rosa Parks story that you may not know. This is where the story most often gets mis-narrated.
The bus driver is often left out as a faceless entity and passive part of the story, but he is important to this story.
James F Blake adds some much needed context 🧵

Our tribal ID’s validity depends entirely on the person we’re presenting it to. My attempting to use it has failed many times because of the lack of knowledge people in government have about it. After this, I expect the feds to try to further delegitimize it.

Take care of yourself this holiday season. Not like this though.
I gave my mom what I thought was a soup-themed bath bomb some years back, but it was actually soup. She had to call my dad in to get her out of the greasy tub.

DOGE was created for data theft and infrastructure dismantling and it wildly succeeded on both counts within the first few weeks of its existence. It will take a generation to rebuild what it destroyed and the breach of data is unprecedented.
Bye bye, “DOGE”.

Their work was vandalism and damage and terror and death, so mission accomplished I guess

This is the kind of thing I think about when someone complains that universal basic income would make people dependent on the government for survival. You instead want to depend on Tyson Foods for your survival? Do you get to vote on what corporations do??

Whew keep your head on a swivel and take care of yourself out there
Kinda grim that this was the government going “well ok fine, if swastikas are UNPOPULAR I guess we won’t do it”
Important to understand that shame has no power over these people, because they feel no shame over doing things like promoting Nazism, but sufficient "noise" in the form of media attention and complaints from embarrassed Republicans can have some effect on policy.
