I guess we can all get vaccinated now that the cult leader gave the stamp of approval, right?
Note: he received the Covid AND Flu shot.
It is good timing as we barrel into respiratory season. 🤧
Get vaccinated!

To my friends who have always included me in your starter packs—thank you. This one features only worthy, vetted resisters who have not, to my knowledge, been included in starter packs. May I count on you to follow them and to re-post the list to help amplify their voices before #NoKings Thank you 💙

Only one thing could top the honor of speaking at the No Kings rally, and that's the honor of speaking at No Kings 2. See you October 18th!

It says a lot about how resistance was seen during Trump I; the admin was seen as kind of a joke, so standing up to them was easy and people made a show of doing it. By contrast, now they’re seen as a threat, so orgs like WaPo and others have leadership that have mostly rolled over.

wow. bezos has destroyed this paper.

Lmao WaPo has fewer than 100K circulation now. It turns out “alienate your liberal subscriber base” is not a good strategy when the Republicans also hate you. www.forbes.com/sites/andyme...

The level of grassroots anger at farmers over their support for Trump (and whining) right now is kind of wild. I feel like my whole life, the public at large treats farmers as pseudo-super citizens; that facade feels like it's finally falling away.

Why Shame No Longer Works in American Politics

While it once played a role in binding society, shame has lost its power—and so have the liberal tools that depend on it.

In the deafblind community, drawing an “X” on someone’s back means one thing, we’re in danger and we need to leave.
It’s not official sign language, but it’s a fast, effective way to communicate danger when you can’t rely on sight or sound.

Among the citizens detained are nearly 20 children, including two with cancer. That includes four who were held for weeks with their undocumented mother and without access to the family’s attorney until a congresswoman intervened.
