Handy guide to determining if someone should get basic human rights. Is this person human? ---- yes - - - - > Yes | | No ⬇️ You're a bigot. All people are human. Ergo, the answer is still yes.

Democratic candidates, steal this idea. The @epi.org just released a calculator showing how Trump's immigration terror campaign is sucking money out of social programs. It shows how, in addition to ruining immigrants' lives, it's also ruining the lives of everyone else.
The Cost of Deportations Calculator
The Trump administration is taking billions of _your_ taxpayer dollars to pay for mass deportations. The Cost of Deportations Calculator shows what could this money be used for instead.

These racist pigs would say the same thing about a woman. White men only need apply.
Anne Frank was arrested on this day in 1944. History rarely returns wearing the same uniform, it returns asking the same thing of ordinary people: Will you sit down and look away? Or will you stand up and fight? #Resist
You could say the same about any public service, or anything at all of public interest. The demands of capital owners trounce all other considerations, degrade the service and transform it into something with an entirely different purpose. UEFA's succinct critique of capital should be framed.
The Republican party is a stochastic terrorist organization in the same way that the KKK is and for the same reasons, and should be treated accordingly.

trans rights frankly is a top 5, potentially top 3 issue for me despite not being trans and not having any trans family being bigoted against trans folks not only hurts my trans friends and every trans person but is so predictive of further bigotry
I don’t know a lot about finance but whenever I hear ‘this is a lot like summer 2007’ I know the economy is in for a couple years of smooth sailing

Less “why don’t women come forward?” and more “what can we do to support women who have to navigate hostile structures after having been violated?”
The Rahm Emanuel redemption tour, which ignores a long and detailed history of anti-Black policies in his time as mayor of Chicago, is a good example of how the more overt white supremacy of Elon Musk and his cohort of conservatives is normalized
Let's keep our eyes on Nolan Wells. This young man deserves our remembrance & his family deserves our support. It seems only Black people nationally, Mississippi, & Ms Rachel care. But you all should know hearts hurt over this. If you want to know what's on the minds of Black America, it's this.
Ashton Pittman@ashtonpittman.bsky.social · last wk.I wish everyone approached the Nolan Wells story with the care Duvalier Malone does. Care for truth. Care for the grieving family. Care for the grieving friends. Care for the history of mistreatment that informs Black Mississippians distrust of the system. It's all the above.
We should probably be talking far more about how the UAE has paid Donald Trump hundreds of millions of dollars through his various crypto businesses so we will continue to help them commit genocide in Sudan. That's not an exaggeration. www.politico.com/news/2026/07...

Can’t reform this: “I was denied appropriate testing and proper nutrition needed for my Type 2 diabetes, losing at least 30 pounds while in custody. Basic religious accommodations, like halal food and mandatory Friday congregational prayers, were not reasonably provided, and I faced …ridicule.”

I literally cannot think of a single "problem" AI has solved in my day-to-day life All it's done is made things more expensive and harder to access while poisoning my environment and empowering state surveillance of my life

Man pitches 'Shepherd Safety' to city council—a service that tracks politicians the exact same way Flock Safety tracks us. This shouldn't be satire...everyone should be watching “Authority” like a hawk. TT: @coachtd87

Apparatchiks have their orders: conjure a Communist threat inside America, associating with it the entire Dem Party, to prepare people to accept whatever authoritarian crackdown the administration may be planning to stop elections from handing them a defeat.
They’re going to call you a socialist regardless. So be a socialist.

The folks that you assholes have attacked for a decade would like a word 🙄 MAGA has been gleefully destroying American’s lives for ages and you want us to feel bad for you? You purposely inflicted “your past year” on your fellow Americans for years. We do know the cost, we have paid it repeatedly
