Take note of all these people turning out for protests in small towns in red states.

Remember them the next time you’re inclined to write an area off because “they voted for this.”

I really want to make a trip back to Yosemite this winter.

This whole thing just horrifies me in more ways than I can quickly articulate, so if someone else out there feels the same way know you are not alone.

Once again, if you are just repeating shit from this administration, including especially Kash Patel, you are most likely repeating lies and spreading misinformation

If you’re dropping streaming services, but still like watching stuff, Tubi is free and has tons of movies and cartoons. They have Jem and GI JOE!
Pluto Tv has a good live function that shows a lot of movies and old tv shows, also free. PBS Passport has tons of shows, docs and news.

Are you mad at me? @bradys.bsky .... 10h
I have been a social media manager for 10
years. If you are upset with a company I BEG
you to write a physical letter and put it in a
mailbox. 10000 social media comments are
a meaningless annoyance that executives
brush off. A single letter can send a
company into a panic.

A whole lot of people are coming for @angryblacklady.bsky.social today for saying "do not put your name on a list of people attending a protest, what the fuck" with responses like "you're just discouraging people!" and "but they already know who you are!" and "DON'T LET THE TERRORISTS WIN" etc

This is not a massive decision or any kind of change. Costco has never carried mifepristone in its pharmacies. An anti-abortion group is taking credit for something that didn't happen, possibly to generate disingenuous left-wing ire against one of the few corporations that hasn't gone MAGA.
