No kidding, one of my favourite photos I've ever taken. Things got very grebey yesterday #birds 🌿 (Eared grebes)
KEEP CALLING. PEEL OFF ALL DEM SENATORS YOU CAN. ☎️: (202) 224-3121 Tell them to vote NO on Cloture and NO on CR. Vote is pushed to after 1:15ish for now. Situation is fluid. The only public YES votes are Schumer and Fetterman. They need 7-8 total. KEEP CALLING. Call retiring Senators too!
Detaining and threatening to deport ANYONE for their words should terrify us all. #MahmoudKhalil
There are less than 10 openly Trans athletes at the college level. Even if you are transphobic, you'd think you'd be pissed he is wasting all this time and money.
What’s happening to trans people right now is an administrative and medical genocide. GENOCIDE. Name it. And to the trans folks reading this: stay with us. Please. Your life is precious. And I will fight with and for you. Stay with us. www.assignedmedia.org/breaking-new...

Some of you say you want a revolution, but you still call the cops on your neighbors.
Imagine being the richest person on earth who has taken over the most powerful country on earth ... and the best groupies you can get are six 20-yr old groypers in cutoff sweatpants and a guy named Catturd.
This is your reminder that you can be houseless with a graduate degree, go to church regularly, and struggle with addiction. You can manage 100 employees and still not manage to escape your abusive relationship. None of us live without struggle. All of us need community.
see this is what happens when you pretend to be religious but don't actually know how the story ends
Senator Andy Kim just went to the USAID building, talked to the security guard there to confirm employees are being barred entry, and then did a press gaggle right there in front to call it out. This is doing something. This is making an effort on messaging. Other Democratic lawmakers: take notes.
Dear 🧪🔭⚛️: Stop calling the anti-DEIA executive orders, bans, work stoppages, research stoppages, and whatever else “rollbacks.” The executive orders are Resegregation Orders. These are attempts to return us to segregation.“ jmjafrx.substack.com/p/the-resegr...

it is darkly funny to me that twitter ended up being real life after all
When I was a Hill staffer in 2009, a Dem trifecta was trying to pass universal healthcare. In response, Senate GOP released a memo detailing all of the tactics they in the minority could use to delay the effort as much as possible. I'm recirculating that 2009 GOP memo here.

I was led to believe by R.E.M. that I would feel a lot better about this.
No, Democrats aren't going to save us. Conflating voting with activism has led to the myth that voting is the ONLY activism. It's not. We save ourselves - with protests, with mutual aid, with community, with refusal to comply in advance, with organizing, with litigation, with direct action.
All right, I’ve been stressed about this but it is Black History Month. I’m trying to let this time empower me, sustain me, radicalize me, and I simply cannot be my best self without the financial burden off of my back. So here’s the truth: the $1500 I asked for is the bare minimum.
Kaitlin Is Just Getting Started@gothamgirlblue.com · 2y agoIf you leave a note on the donation I absolutely see it, and y’all…are so incredibly kind I am…I’m trying not to cry.

Happy Black History Month, and yeah, we're still doing that.

The USA has had two major plane crashes in the last 4 days. The USA had previously not suffered a major plane crash for 16 years. ‘DEI’ programs have existed for decades. So what was it that changed in the last 14 days or so to suddenly cause so many crashes?
They make even love feel like death because of the cost they extract even from out of our dreams
Authors, if you see this, post the 1st lines of your book: When we were little, on car rides, my brother and I would hold our breath when we passed a cemetery. My aunt told us it was impolite to breathe in front of those who cannot. I wonder what he would think now. Now that I breathe without him.
Amadi Lovelace@amaditalks.bsky.social · 2y agoAuthors if you see this, it's a sign to post the first line of your book: "Shira woke as the bus exited the tunnel and rounded the curve. She sighed as the landscape of Harbor City burst into view in the valley below, the neat grid of blue roofed buildings glowing in the red-gold sunrise. Home."
