Wait until ppl find out Dick Cheney was “just the VP” and ppl still call his ass out in public spaces for the things he did while in office.

Crazy concept. Politicians aren’t above critique they (suppose to) work for you.

You know they’re worried about this weekend’s turnout at the No Kings rally when they’re already making comments about it. Who’s ready for Saturday?

Rep. Summer Lee @repsummerlee.bsky.social · 1d

Let's get this straight: Speaker Johnson canceled session and refuses to swear in Rep-Elect Adelita Grijalva, who would be the 218th signer of the discharge petition to force a vote to release the Epstein files.

Bring us back in session, release the files, and let's open the government.

"Ethical alternatives: brands to buy from if you boycott Israeli apartheid."

— article from @ethical-consumer.bsky.social

Please, join us in boycotting israel. Do it for Palestine. Do it for humanity. And also do it because capitalism and imperialism suck! And also, support Ethical Consumer.

Ethical alternatives: brands to buy from if you boycott Israeli apartheid | Ethical Consumer

Boycotting brands that are complicit in Palestinian human rights violations is a powerful form of consumer activism, but how ethical is the product you buy instead?

Because tell me why an actually college educated doctor should ever believe black people don’t feel pain or need pain relief in the same way a white man does. That’s a fundamentally flawed education system for the supposedly most intelligent/educated of our society.

Nicole B @kindkaleidoscope.bsky.social · 6h

Honestly this wouldn’t be a bad idea. In fact I would love it if you had to pass a civics test to be able to vote.

Unfortunately, since the billionaire elite need less than intelligent (white) people to be their cogs, they already fucked the education system in this country up to avoid this.

I wonder how many white people would fail a basic citizenship test to be able to vote? You know, how black folk used to be treated to vote and all.

Buried inside the Big Beautiful Bill is a time bomb...one that detonates the balance of power. You weren’t supposed to read this clause. That’s why I did.

A single section hidden deep in the bill quietly neuters the courts. It’s that serious.🔥👇

The regime fired everyone involved in the funding and administration of IDEA (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act).

They’re letting measles and other infectious and disabling diseases run rampant, and then removing disability support.

It’s eugenics and they aren’t even hiding it.

The 400 richest Americans have more money than the bottom 175 million Americans.

That is THE problem.

Everything we are suffering from is volitional.

Our entire population could be housed, fed, & have health care.

We could be meaningfully combating the climate crisis.

Instead we are zip-tying children, immolating our vaccine system, & doing everything to protect a child rapist.

Shockingly, where you spend your money matters. The people you look up to and support matters. Your friends matter.

There are alternatives to damn near everything because capitalism isn’t actually innovative.

Boycott!

Six years ago, Uganda announced a bill to legalize murdering gay people. The National Christian Organization paid a preacher to go to Uganda and help their lawmakers with the bill. Chick-fil-A funds The National Christian Org.

If you eat at Chick-fil-A, this is what your money goes to.

Hoop skirts are similar to the inflatable affect. Make sure to wear a mask though.

Be bold. Also social distancing.

Folks:

There are going to be a LOT of inflatable animal costumes marching on Saturday. 🙃

You know, Letitia James must be squeaky clean if all they could find to harass her with was buying a home that her relative lives in.

Talib Kweli @talibkweli.bsky.social · 1d

For real.

If you were loud for Jimmy Kimmel, crank it up for Letitia James.
Authoritarian bullies count on silence to get away with it; make some noise and have her back!
