Fun fact: pushing back on helplessness can be as easy as hanging out with people
Been thinking about how the hallmark of our generation is a sense of helplessness both politically and personally and how much of that comes from the rise of image-based social media, experiencing life as an unreality. Pushing back on helplessness means in part, pushing back on big tech.

Google Handed ICE Student Journalist’s Bank and Credit Card Numbers
Amandla Thomas-Johnson didn't know how much information ICE requested in a subpoena now. Google never gave him a chance to fight it.

I'll catch up soon.... I'm struggling to integrate knowledge of the 1000+ abductions PER DAY!!!!!
A stunning detail the ICE chief shared in this hearing that was supposed to be a brag, except it isn't: ICE has arrested 379,000 people between Jan. 2025-Jan. 2026 -- but only 8,700 were suspected gang members or known suspected terrorists.

I spent a long time trying to figure out what to do with my Harry Potter books, because just dumping them in a little free library felt wrong. So I mailed them to this artist who was turning them into portraits of murdered trans women

All emotions carry information. They are messengers calling for attention. As we shine light on what we're feeling, we bring awareness to our grief.
We allow it to be what it is, no judgment. In being seen and heard, grief is lightened.

Black autistic women are also less likely to be diagnosed with autism, misdiagnosed or diagnosed later. Some of the Black autistic women I know only got diagnosed AFTER their children received an autism diagnosis.
Black autistic women live at the intersection of racism and ableism. We don’t lack courage to unmask we lack safety. And that truth needs to be said out loud.

This is a very powerful video from comedian Josh Johnson. Not just because what he says that's meaningful. But because it shows an emerging trend that high profile people have finally started speaking up, despite concerns it might alienate their followers.

Every cis person needs to read and absorb these sentences.
Never again.
If the things you require me to sacrifice "for the greater good" are my healthcare, my safety, my bodily autonomy and my right to exist as an equal human being in your society, then it's not the good at all, and your party can burn to the ground and the nation along with it.

This is the reality of means-testing and work requirements. Even those on the left can fall for this stuff and ignore the costs. To end this madness, we need to go universal. No more means-testing or conditions. Universal basic income, healthcare, and education. And tax the rich more than they get.
I will simply never recover from reading this sentence:
"Since Georgia implemented work requirements in 2020, they have spent twice as much on Deloitte consultants and administrative costs as on healthcare for people."
