I'm housed now, but not because of any assistance program. Just lucky, and friends.

But for many others with long COVID, their housing instability journey is just beginning.

This whole thing is racist, but take particular note of the threat of denaturalization. That's stripping people of their citizenship, and that's the road to mass murder and atrocity.
Trump: “I will permanently pause migration from all Third World Countries … denaturalize migrants who undermine domestic tranquility, and deport any Foreign National who is a public charge, security risk, or non-compatible with Western Civilization.“

I posted a montage of 19 clips last week of Trump making personal attacks against female reporters in just the last few months. Now we have #20.

Fantastic thread

Love both of these accounts and it’s fun to see a combo of fashion and archaeology/ancient texts 😀😀

I guess I now have to do a thread on shoes in ancient Mesopotamia in response to this (which happens to be from one of my favourite accounts).

I’m not an archaeologist, nor do I really know anything about shoes, but let’s go on this journey together.

They are aware that Russians quite literally wrote the capitulation document that some people in the White House and sadly many people in the media refer to as a peace plan.
Congressional Republicans including Senator Mitch McConnell are openly blasting President Trump’s team of appeasing Russia, warning that doing so would not lead to lasting peace.

Law aside, Trump's attacks on journalism over coverage he doesn't like "is not something that should be politically viable," @seth-stern.bsky.social told BBC.

"The ball is really in the public's court to push back and say 'this is not the American way.'"

if at any point since 2020 you've found yourself thinking "wtf is happening?!"
remember that going "back to normal" as encouraged by our overlords instead of addressing the world as it actually is only solidified everything we're dealing with daily and it won't stop until we stop pretending.

This is actually really fucking rad. There's a homeless village next to the Waianae Boat Harbor named Pu‘uhone o Waihone(I used to live across the street from it) and the owners of the land raised 10 million bucks and bought a bunch of land, they're aiming to build 250 homes for these people there

Kristi Noem is guilty of crimes against humanity and needs to face justice.

📌 She made the final call to defy a court order to halt deportation flights, sending people into the hellscape of CECOT, a place the UN has compared to a torture chamber.

Prosecute her and everyone involved.

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.
