To be loved is to be changed.

Your little oopsie "mistakes" had me worrying for a year of my life about my partner going to jail for up to a decade based on lies likely fed to you by the top of the federal government. Show everyone what you're covering up in these emails and texts. There's a reason you don't want them released.

Lost in all the election news — Israel just imprisoned an American teen. Soldiers raided Adam's family home in the West Bank right before his sister’s grad party. The soldiers were shown his US passport and apparently didn’t care, disregarding it. As they took him, they blew kisses at his mom.

Israel Has Imprisoned a 16-Year-Old Palestinian-American Boy for Two Weeks

Adam Karakrah is one of at least two Americans in Israeli prison – both held while Trump hosted Netanyahu for the eighth time.

I would like to propose the Taco Bell Principle When a person/institution Did A Problem, & IMMEDIATELY fesses up & takes proactive steps to solve it That's exactly what we want them to do? So how bout we let them live ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Sarah Taber@sarahtaber.bsky.social · 3w ago

A quick word on Taco Bell: That's where we found the suspected lettuce, and it's not bc Taco Bell is gross. It's bc Taco Bell is REALLY GOOD at tracing product! Keeping track of exactly where they got their ingredients, & exactly what restaurants each shipment of ingredients went to!

More cops have been arrested for using flock cameras to stalk women than there are transgender athletes in youth sports.

Another instance of trans people being right and transphobes being wrong.

I had to code and pronounce a time of death on a respiratory therapist colleague. There's a memorial plaque for her outside the emergency department to this day. I wrote and re-wrote my will. I will never forgive these ghouls trying to rewrite history and deny our experience.

hey gang, a far-right party is using this election to gauge whether locking trans people out of civil society has a public mandate, and they've proven they can twist the coalition's arm to get whatever they want. We are in danger. Can you fucking do something.

Cis-people actually listen to the trans people you claim to care about challenge: difficulty level - impossible.

Jessie Gender@jessiegender.bsky.social · yesterday

Deeply disappointed at the comments on my Ken Jennings video. People would rather have empathy for a cis person than the trans person mocked. Yeah it’s the trans persons fault for lightly pointing out to a cis person the New York Times is bad actually to trans person. She’s making it about herself.

In case you still don't see how Israel's genocide in Occupied Palestine and the UAE's genocides in Sudan and Congo are connected. Elbit, the Israeli company in question, has 3,000 US employees and manufactures drones and night vision for the US military, and also owns US-based Universal Avionics.

I am genuinely concerned about how shit-garbage my working memory is these days. Autistic burnout is no joke.

I'm just so fucking tired of people being like "no, the free market is working!" and then ignoring all the ways that we don't actually have a free market and our markets are owned by like, twenty men in trench coats.

ICE has killed another person.

El Salvadoran Man Held by ICE at Delaney Hall Dies, Family Says

The detainee had an extensive medical history, including epilepsy, according to a lawsuit. He had complained about his face and hand going numb just before his death, his mother said.

I've been irate at how little national coverage the killings of four Black men in Memphis by federal agents have gotten -- and even how little in Tennessee. The root? State lawmakers who wholeheartedly approve of the occupation of Memphis.

Another person has died at Delaney Hall, the second in a period of months, supposedly of an unspecified "medical emergency." His name is Edwin Lopez-Cornejo. He was just 41 years old. When we fight against ICE, we are fighting to save lives. This is urgent. crimethinc.com/DelaneyStrat...

A watershed piece. America will have have a very hard time becoming less imperialist as long as combat service is sentimentalized and fetishized, when it actually tends to turn men into broken, hateful people, and helps make things like like Trumpism happen. www.newyorker.com/news/the-pol...

As a Religious Studies professor, this directly targets my livelihood in a way that makes a mockery of any supposed profession of concern the administration has ever expressed for me as a Jewish person on campus.

We have also been rather consistent in saying you cannot contain eugenics to one issue. It is too convenient to capital to blame sickness on sick people. And it’s why it needs to be resisted openly, fiercely, bravely, and even when you want brunch.

Aparna Nair@disabilitystor1.bsky.social · 2d ago

When disabled people/many people who work on disability/health pointed to the dangers of this kind of framing since COVID, they were usually mocked ("oh you think everything is eugenics") or ignored. But normalising the idea that the deaths of disabled people are desirable/reassuring is dangerous.
