America was never great.

America won't be great until we treat all people living in it as human beings.

that includes the undocumented. and the trans folks.

The Massachusetts Department of Correction has been fighting me for months, trying to withhold data about its collaboration with ICE.

Yesterday, I won that fight, and obtained records showing that the state has transferred more than 2,000 people into ICE custody since 2009.

A quick thread:

Oh god I'm out of the loop on this one

ALWAYS projection

Drawing that reproduces a social media post by a user named NUTGUZZLER42 (handle: @hitlerball_lover1488). He reacts to a picture of someone saying "Together we can build a safer, cleaner city for our children!" by shouting "FUUUCK LOOK WHO THE RADICAL LEFT JUST ELECTED FUUUUCK FUUUUUCK WE'RE FUUUUUCKED"

That meme is never not relevant.

Kamala Harris just threw her weight behind Jasmine Crockett in the Texas Senate race 🔥

I expect we WILL win, but I'm terrified of what it will cost us

Another argument in favor of UBI

Support independent media.

It might seem impossible right now that any of the tiny indie journalists and collectives of journalists could rival CBS or CNN. But Netflix once sent ppl DVDs in the mail - they're one of the big guys now.

Support the real deal. See what happens. You never know!

imo the threat posed by CBS News and CNN getting absorbed by pro-regime billionaires isn't that they're going to produce right-wing slop that convinces people to be right-wing, it's the dismantling of newsrooms capable of doing investigative reporting on the administration. Fewer eyes on the street.

Pro Trump, Pro Netanyahu fanatics Larry and David Ellison will most likely now control Paramount, CBS, CNN, HBO, Warner Bros, and TikTok

Oh hey, this sounds familiar encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/t...

I'm from Pittsburgh. I wish the jagoffs a slow death.

It's just insane the degree to which the federal government has simply declared war on a U.S. state. A punitive war with no discernible objective other than to immiserate its people. bsky.app/profile/apne...

I’m like not even kidding anymore when are we withholding our share of taxes on a state level what’s the point of being under the purview of a fed that withholds services and safety nets our money pays for

It’s not just Medicaid funding they’re withholding to MN. It’s food assistance, child care assistance, social services, job training, safety testing, public health, disaster relief. SNAP. Free lunch for kids in school.

They hate us for loving our neighbors, and are collectively punishing us for it.

I know.

Worn down isn't the phrase I'd use for what people are feeling these days. Everything is simply a reminder to destroy them now.

Nah I'm sure it would be similar. We're all audio nuts at the end of the day

I'd also find it important to note that it's becoming more and more clear neurodivergency isn't really divergent, it's likely more prevalent than "neurotypicals" in general. That, combined with how NDs tend to lean towards the arts, means you do end up with bias, but probably less than expected

Makes sense to me. Passionate creators tend to lean neurodivergent, anecdotally
