@donavanmckinney.bsky.social has won his primary election for Congress in Michigan. He's a union organizer coming for corporate do-nothing Democrats who use their office to line their own pockets while Michiganders can't afford housing and healthcare. McKinney is taking that fight to DC.
Their families waited for years to say goodbye, after they were killed in Israeli strikes during the early days of the war on the Gaza Strip. Their return marks a painful reminder of the human cost of war and the countless lives buried beneath its destruction.
After more than 1,000 days beneath the rubble, the remains of over 100 victims have finally been recovered and laid to rest.
"Five women have died at Women's Huron Valley since mid-May ... The families of multiple women who have died at Women's Huron Valley shared the stories of their loved ones, and chanted alongside organizers to demand that the same thing does not happen to more women."

Every time you use genAI, you're supporting an ongoing genocide in Congo. Earlier this year, the US and UAE (which is, with our help, also committing genocide in Sudan) created a paramilitary force to ensure the flow of cobalt and rare earth minerals extracted by child slaves to create GPUs.
Congo Plans Paramilitary Unit for Mines with US, UAE Funding
The Democratic Republic of Congo will create a paramilitary unit to police its mines with funding from the US and the United Arab Emirates, the country’s General Inspectorate of Mines said.

For days, I’ve been trying to find the words to touch what it was like in these early days for the disabled community. For those of us already medically fragile, immune-compromised, in all the highest risk categories… We knew, were gaslit, and disproportionately died. The trauma is so real, still.

I worked for New York’s largest medical center at the start of the pandemic. There were morgue trucks on the streets. They set up emergency medical tents in Central Park. Healthcare worker colleagues died. It is horrific that RFK Jr is on national TV lying that ICUs were empty.

we had an entire ICU team that was dedicated to flipping patients onto their bellies to give them a last shot at oxygenating before their inevitable deaths, but ok

And when we’re given the profound responsibility of nurturing disabled kids? I’ve become teacher, educational/medical advocate, multi-therapist, pharm-tech, paraprofessional… My baby is my whole, entire world. I’m deeply grateful - and alone in a system built to disregard the humanity of us both.

"a country that worries abt declining birthrates cannot dismiss the material conditions under which women are expected to give birth, recover, earn money & raise children...Before asking why women are...not [having] children, America should ask whether it has done enough to deserve their motherhood"

Also, people "care" about many things. They can only take action on a very few of those and usually the people implying you don't care enough about something know this (based on their own experiences).
99% of the time, when someone accuses you of selective outrage, it’s a way of politically demobilizing you and shutting you up “Why are you angry about data centers instead of fast fashion” isn’t about making you care about fast fashion. It’s about shutting you up about data centers And visa versa
It is in fact racist to call an Arab with views you disagree with an antisemite. I know this will be a surprise to many but unless that person is actually saying something antisemitic, the Arab is not genetically predisposed to antisemitism
Mychal sits & shares that Ms. Rachel posted, “Black boys deserve to grow up.” This is not controversial, it is hope. Black library kids deserve to grow up to become Black library grown-ups. Black boys deserve to live in a world where that has not always felt true. Black boys deserve joy ✨
stephen miller killed this couple, as surely as if he'd pulled the trigger himself
Matt Ortega@mattortega.com · last wk.Stephen Miller said just the other day that all asylum claims are "fake." A couple deported from the U.S. to Guatemala were gagged, bound, and shot dead. Their 14-month old found crying next to their mother's body. People like Miller don't care though because this is the point: ethnic cleansing.

In my latest, I talk with @silkys13.bsky.social about the struggle against ICE. How are the government’s tactics shifting, and how must we respond? We also discuss the tremendous victory of fighting off the warehouse model for the regime’s concentration camps, and where the fight goes from here.
