Me wondering why I can't gain weight despite going to the gym. Also me:

I would like to exit the part of my weird neurodivergent food issues cycle where all food sounds unappealing and eating anything is an annoyance to re-enter the subsequent part of the cycle where I get really really interested in cooking new things again. I wish my brain didn't have idiotic seasons

Borders exist to give colonialist projects moral and rhetorical cover for violence defending land they stole. They’re still just imaginary lines harming very much not imaginary people.

130 million. Jfc!

Democracy Now!@democracynow.org · 2d ago

Protesters in India, led by youth at the forefront of the "Cockroach" movement, are taking to the streets to protest the deletion of 130 million names from the voter rolls, a large majority of which are believed to be opposed to Narendra Modi's ruling BJP party.

What was once a gradual slide into autocracy has become something like free-fall. We should all be in the streets. www.reuters.com/legal/govern...

#ResistanceRoots Today in history, 1957: President Eisenhower apologizes to Ghanaian Finance Minister Komla Agbeli Gbedemah, who was denied service in a segregated restaurant. It was one of many incidents involving African dignitaries and a factor in the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. /1

"If they only knew..." Yet here it is. This happens every day. The evidence isn't hard to find. You just don't want to risk your own sense of security to do something about it and will keep moving the goal posts so you will never have to.

I converted to Catholicism two weeks ago. Here’s why I think Jesus would’ve supported live streaming executions.

My favorite part of the Democratic Party is when you donate to one of their non-transphobic candidates and all of a sudden your inbox is full of the transphobic candidates from other states begging you for money 💙

Cowardly chuds, the lot of them

I'd personally like to thank every Republican who stays silent actually. In fact, why limit yourself to November? Let's keep it that way! God bless! 🙏

Begging people to vote for Republicans in a Trump +39 county lmao they are so unbelievably fucked

The Swords to Plowshares Act, the final undoing of Christian white nationalist theocracy. (Maybe we don’t call it that actually but come on)

Defund and abolish ICE. Melt down their weapons and shift its budget to social services and affordable housing. Ban everyone who led or worked for ICE from any government job. Corporate death penalty for the companies that aided them. Citizenship to all of its victims, should they want it.

This immediately brought to mind the way Border Patrol monopolizes the 911 emergency response systems for migrants, ignoring calls from people presumed to be crossing the border, then leaving them to die in the desert.

"When bystanders called 911 seeking emergency medical attention for the locked down protester, the callers were informed that emergency medical services would not be responding to the scene."

IP has more rights than trans women

🚨ICE nearly RUNS OVER protesters while leaving a NYC hospital, potentially with a man ICE shot earlier today. NYPD also continues to provide cover for ICE agents by brutalizing NYC protesters ⬇️

We really need to shut all this shit down

They’re standardizing the horrible petty shit they’ve done to individuals for years.

This was one of the more diabolical Trump admin moves on immigration; ordering ICE to stop taking biometrics for detained immigrants seeking immigration benefits from USCIS, which meant that the agency would deny their applications by default.

Average AI goon:

Lesson the neoliberal, capitalist overlords ignored for this generation: When there were uprisings after WW2 (civil rights, anti-war movements), many were bought into compliance with somewhat stable income and housing, causing Boomers and Gen X to become more conservative and more pro-capital.

The person who locked down to the vehicle has been cut loose and taken captive by Border Patrol. Land defenders continue to chant "Tierra Libre," keeping spirits high as the mercenaries try to terrorize those who are defending their communities from the border wall. crimethinc.com/meltice#ariz...

Local fire and EMS were called, Border Patrol told them to leave. BP is gassing and shooting pepper balls at people on private property, and moving the truck with the person still locked to it. Go follow tierralibre_no borders and rally.forthevalley on IG for updates.

🚨 Latest from the border wall blockade: tree sit is still up, one land defender is locked down to machinery, Border Patrol has wrapped a Mylar blanket around them and is running the truck and pumping the blanket full of exhaust to try to gas them out, potentially killing them.

we do not have to live this way.

Your children do not owe you relationship, full stop.

Arizona and Virginia, both of which are governed by Democrats, are ending Medicaid coverage of care for trans youth, Transitics has learned. The bans, which go into effect on October 13th, mark the most significant Democratic capitulation to Trump's anti-trans demands yet. Cowards.

Democrat-led Arizona, Virginia Quietly End Medicaid Coverage of Care for Trans Youth, Acquiescing to Trump Demands

The policy changes, which go into effect on October 13th, see Arizona and Virginia join Kansas as states where Democrats have needlessly opted to restrict Medicaid coverage of gender-affirming care.

Sad news everyone. Our beloved friend the computer has now become a hated enemy

Lotta smart and talented people wasting time and effort to defend LLMs. What are we doing here? Answer this: if GPT, Claude, etc. all magically disappeared overnight (chatbots, coding agents, all of it), would we actually be *worse* off? No we wouldn't. But people can't convince themselves to agree

Martín Soto, a primary organizer of people detained at Delaney Hall who went on hunger strike to demand their release and to improve conditions, has been released. Soto was detained for more than 9 months, 4 of which were spent in solitary confinement. Via: www.instagram.com/reel/DeLIuSe...

People forget that J6 was successful. Everyone who participated was let out of jail and the guy who perpetrated it is President again. There were no consequences. They have plenty of incentive to do a much bigger and worse version.

4/ Fernando Vasquez, an 18-year-old citizen, was on break from work when agents chased and handcuffed him, then put him in their truck. After realizing their mistake, the agents left the teen alone in the woods, with no way to get home. Then they threw his ID out of the truck.

Today's feeling like an L. Hope there's better days ahead
