On April 14, 1865, President Abraham Lincoln was assassinatedβjust days after the Civil War ended. His death was a political act of vengeance for the fall of the Confederacy and a violent response to the abolition of slavery. 128 days to Slavery Remembrance Day. #CountDowntoSRD
AOC: I was watching earlier today on TV, someone was saying, βWhy are AOC and Bernie going to Idaho?β
Iβll give you one simple answer: Itβs because you matter
This feels like a major inflection point. If ICE can apparently unlawfully arrest & disappear a permanent resident and it is not immediately met with strong opposition from the public, officials, and courts, there is no going back.
I love and hate both how much and how little has changed in the 30 years since the original.
Let's talk of family values while we sit and watch the slaughter
Hypothetical abortions on imaginary daughters
The white folks think they're at the top, ask any one for their stance
A million years of evolution, we get JD Vance
Truly though.. the original:
Let's talk of family values while we sit and watch the slaughter
Hypothetical abortions on imaginary daughters
The white folks think they're at the top, ask any proud white male
A million years of evolution, we get Danny Quayle
@danny-elfman.bsky.social we need a 2025 version of Insanity.
Every headline makes me want to beg Danny Elfman for a 2025 remake of the song Insanity.
"The white folks think they're at the top, ask any proud white male

I think we've out terribled Quayle...
All I can hear in my head is the scream of a 14.4 baud modem.
I need these haikus. Here's my favorite so far:
Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck
Fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck fuck

βKomrade Kompromat Krasnovβ known Russian ASS-et and Queen Sofaβs new catchphraseβ¦

I'd call them both a piece of shit, but that's giving pieces of shit a bad rap.
We're sorry Ukraine, We're sorry World.
We voted for herβ¦. We voted for sanity
repost is trans people should have free boneless wings
I love boneless wings :3
donβt know who needs to hear this but empathy doesnβt require eagerness. you donβt have to be excited about helping other people, you do it because itβs right and because the alternatives are worse
I have a United federation of Planets flag flying right now, it's all I got.

Ohhh which yarn is that? Super black light reactive, I love it! *Puplove*
in 1933, the German Communist Party had a slogan: "after Hitler, us." they figured he'd fuck up so badly that voters would vote for them in the next election. Hitler abolished elections and had all the commies murdered. do you see where I'm going with this
I found a blanket pattern that was kinda what I wanted and then fiddled with it until it was right, so a bit of both!
I think I want to make a few more of these before summer hits. So satisfying. <3~ #crochet
By miles it is @aoc.bsky.social who has consistently held the line, alone. This is the type of leadership thatβs needed, if your representative isnβt showing this kind of bravery then that isnβt your representative.
@corybooker.com hello I used to run the Wendyβs Twitter account and I am begging you to let me help you with the dems social media strategy, I will literally do it for free at this point
An advertisement for the polio vaccine which reads: "they all got vaccine except dad...don't take a chance...take your polio shots!" It depicts a photo of a family gathered around a father who is in an iron lung.
With science falling under increasing attack, this medical historian is here to remind people of the power of #vaccines. THREADπ§΅
Hard-hitting polio advert from 1958. In the first half of the 20th century, polio was the leading cause of death in children and young adults. 1/7

This is what the government did with 120K+ Japanese Americans in 1942.
I know. I was there in those camps.

I'm not teaching my grad course 'Civil Resistance: How It Works' this semester. But here is an abridged version of the course schedule, readings, and films I used the last time I taught it (in 2022). Just in case it's useful. drive.google.com/file/d/14RRJ...
