Everyone should be putting up NO ICE NO CPB NO FEDERAL AGENTS GET A JUDICIAL WARRANT OR STAY OUT signs everywhere.
My wife told me she heard at a training she attended that ICE has argued "ALL ARE WELCOME HERE" signs are invitations to enter private spaces and if that don't beat all I don't know what does.

@hillarymonahan.bsky.social Oh my GOD, I can't believe I found you. A long-ass time ago you posted a link to a smoky eye tutorial from TikTok on Tw*tter and was like, "this is so easy, I love it." AND I LOVED IT TOO! But then I deleted my Twitter account without saving the link, and I've been

I've seen this go by a few times on TikTok now and I have to say, I love this idea. We need a way to convince people to keep running even if they don't win, maybe building the loss into it as a troll move is the secret.

Pushback works, part gazillion:

"Here are the facts: DOGE moved forward with plans to close multiple field offices. Then, without public notice or explanation, they reversed their plans. Now they are trying to pretend like they were never planning to close the offices."

How the Social Security Administration and DOGE are gaslighting Americans
The Social Security Administration (SSA) sent an email on March 27 to beneficiaries saying that reports that field offices were closing was an invention of fake news media.

a major issue with video games is that they produce a bunch of people who consider themselves brain geniuses for solving problems that were designed to be solvable. as a remedy, we should be making more games that are actively and irreconcilably hostile to the player. thank you

Okay, this makes @schumer.senate.gov’s posts even worse.

Why aren’t you telling people about Democratic legislation that we could pass to prevent all of this?

I understand that the GOP won’t go for it—why aren’t you SAYING that the Democrats are working to try to save your gas bill?

This healthcare ceo is hard to talk about because how much death can you cause indirectly before you’re a murderer who got murdered? How do you convince yourself it doesn’t count if you kill people with policy instead of a gun? What do you have to believe about life and systems and human worthiness?

As a disabled person who has medical PTSD and has watched my peers repeatedly take their own lives or suffer for decades in poverty I will never, ever, EVER have sympathy or empathy for a single person who lives off wealth from the healthcare industry. And I won’t be quiet about my disdain either.

Yes, libraries are invaluable for their collections and public services they offer, but also social contact without the expectation to interact with anyone or spend any money is so important to so many people
