If you see this, don't participate. It's a rigged study by Lisa Littman and unethical researcher J. Michael Bailey meant to undermine access to care. Spread the word.

“The truth is that a tattoo identifying Tren de Aragua does not exist,” she told me. “Tren de Aragua does not use any tattoos as a form of gang identification; no Venezuelan gang does.”
Chris Hayes@chrislhayes.bsky.social · last yr.This guy is in one of the worst prisons in the world with no way out and may spend the rest of his life there because, it appears, he has an autism awareness tattoo in honor of his little brother. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...
Yes, that's part of why. But saying it's the "entire point" is one more example of media folks forgetting that facists genuinely want to hurt people and impose iron will. It is performative *and* genuine. Saying it's only to make content downplays the hate & *actual* fascism.
Chris Hayes@chrislhayes.bsky.social · last yr.One thing that is fairly clear at this point is that the entire point of whisking people out of the country with no due process in defiance of a judge's orders to put them into a foreign gulag *was so they could produce fascist content*.
Hostile states did the same thing with abortion bans. They'd introduce something absurd—like a 30 day abortion ban (which is literally something oklahoma proposed in 2022)—to pass something that is also absurd but maybe not AS absurd. We have to fight them on every front.
Zetsubo@zetsubo.bsky.social · last yr.it's not gonna pass but they're using this one to hide the one that will pass banning trans people from restrooms in gov't buildings
Dear cis people, It's well past the point where this kind of thing will fix everything, but I want you to take note of how easy this is. These little freaks are soft-handed little babies that will fold like a napkin in the rain. Light these fools up.
Ari Drennen@aridrennen.bsky.social · last yr.Texas Republican Keithself storms out of the meeting he's supposed to be running because a Democrat asked him to treat his colleague Sarah McBride with respect. These people would not last one day as a trans person.
Isn't it interesting how desperate Republican lawmakers are to create justifications to examine the genitals of children? How hard the right wing works to create cover and legal permission for them to get to be alone in a room with naked kids? Why do you think that is, exactly?
this is what the right wants because they fundamentally believe in pedophilia on an ideological level
Can't tell you how weird and fucked up this press conference was. It was basically an ad for Tesla interspersed with the implication that protesting the company is illegal.
Read the book Read Raising Expectations (and Raising Hell)@jphillll.bsky.social · last yr.Trump just said he’ll label violence against Tesla dealerships as domestic terrorism. The fascism accelerates.
And this is why you should fight this kidnapping tooth and nail regardless of whether you agree with Mahmoud.
News Eye@newseye.bsky.social · last yr.NEW: White House says the arrest and deportation of student activist & legal US resident, Mahmoud Khalil, is a blueprint for more. The final line here is chilling. The White House specifically says Khalil was not breaking the law. No evidence, no due process, no crime. He was just disappeared.
genuinely baffling how many Dems continue to behave as if anyone in this administration will follow the law in any capacity look at fucking Rubio, you’re all going to be making public mea culpas on this vote within a week save yourselves the trouble and vote no on every single thing
Matt Novak@paleofuture.bsky.social · last yr.The Senate just voted 67-32 to confirm Lori Chavez-DeRemer as labor secretary, which means a lot of Dems voted for her. During a fucking constitutional crisis.
When @prisonculture.bsky.social pointed out the need to have some alternatives on hand for when you're telling Tesla owners to sell their swasticars, this is another good option! Think we're gonna see some more movement on this front - Detroit looooves a good lease takeover promotion!
Tina MF@tmfab.bsky.social · last yr.Polestar says customers who can prove their household currently owns or leases a Tesla can get up to $20,000 off of a leased Polestar 3 SUV. insideevs.com/news/751665/...
It's cute and fun when senators act like Social Security is only for retired people, like it's a future speculative thing for people with 401ks to worry about, and not something about 15M disabled people & our families, mostly living below the poverty line, rely on in the current present moment
Sen. Adam Schiff@schiff.senate.gov · last yr.If Donald Trump & Elon Musk have it their way, your Social Security will be privatized and your benefits will be entirely reliant on the stock market. If you want a sense of what that'll be like – take a look at your 401k today.
these are the names of young Black men who were "found dead" after the Ferguson uprising following the murder of Michael Brown in 2014. Edward Crawford Jr. is in the famous image below. his death was ruled a suicide. our gov't is not new to silencing activists. the least we can do is remember them.
🪲johnny🪲@ozarkobscura.bsky.social · last yr.something to bear in mind: the us gov't is no stranger to disappearing citizens, esp protestors. they just usually don't brag about it so brazenly. thinking of DeAndre Joshua, Darren Seals, MarShawn McCarrel, Edward Crawford Jr, & Danye Jones today. don't forget them. & don't forgive their deaths.
MIWRC works in family stability, in helping victims of trafficking or domestic violence, they are a housing resource and they support traditional birthing practices, they take a culturally centered approach to substance use disorders, and recently they opened as a warming space. Please help them.
Daddy Rex@katyrex.meatjacker.social · last yr.Someone vandalized the Minnesota Indian Women's Resource Center. They do so much, this breaks my heart. I took their fb graphic to put here, please support them if you can.
They have nothing. Nothing. They kidnapped a legal resident, shipped him across the country, denied access to his attorney, and are now trying to deport him. And their only justification for it is either protected speech or vague descriptions of alleged crimes committed by other people.
Justin Baragona@justinbaragona.bsky.social · last yr.Reporter: What crime did Mahmoud Khalil commit to warrant his arrest and threatened deportation? Mike Johnson: We are going to arrest your tail and send you home where you belong. This is just getting started. I appreciate free speech, I used to defend it in courts. This is far beyond the pale.
It’s been 72 hours since federal agents abducted a legal permanent resident from our city and Andrew Cuomo still hasn’t said a word.
I'm different I log on and make up women to be mad at #malefeminist
Literally trying to make sure the students stay someplace they can be found and arrested. Cool cool coolcoolcool
