i think most (not all) of the "you must vote for Newsom" people are just Newsom supporters who want him to win because they like him and his policies, not because they have high minded ideas about harm reduction.

sharing this as if it just happened (this story is from eight years ago) really hides the important reminder that DHS was broken way before the current administration.

The risk of developing Long COVID goes up with each infection.

The upper bound for developing Long COVID after three+ infections is 47%.

The average American has had over 5 infections.

A court has ruled that the government's authoritarian ban on Palestine Action was unlawful.

Time to stop criminalising the people protesting a genocide - and start ending the UK's complicity.

Why do people like getting tax refunds? It just means you paid the government more tax than you were supposed to and didn’t spend the (kind of) annoying amount of effort to avoid it

Universe, take the worries we carried today, quiet the overthinking, hold what feels heavy so we can rest; we release what didn’t go right, forgive what we didn’t finish, and wake up tomorrow to a clean page.

There are so many fucked up things with the current administration that it's hard to focus on one but this recent move is basically a death sentence for the planet. I've been involved with more boots on the ground actions over the years than I can count and this really bums me out.

This is a win for class consciousness. I hope people continue to understand the collective power we have to shape what companies do when we pushback and boycott because ultimately they rely on us to buy the crap they produce.

The exact thing that antizionist/non-Zionist Jews have been warning would happen, is happening — thanks to the Israeli government's insistence that Israel, by definition, speaks for world Jewry and that any criticism of Israeli's policies is antisemitism.

This inevitably LEADS to antisemitism.

Police in Bloomington, MN just announced that one of the guys they arrested in an underage sex trafficking sting was a **background checker for ICE agents.**

He had a high security clearance in the Trump administration... and he was caught trying to abuse children. Sickening.

Notice how the popular media narrative has moved on, while people on the ground in Minneapolis are still struggling and crying out that things are as bad as ever. This is how fascist regimes operate — overreach, recalibration, normalization. Get louder, not quieter.

One of the biggest ways we can futureproof elections is:

1: Abolish the party system
2: Make voter databases available to all candidates
3: Abolish the Electoral College
4: Establish a 1:1 Popular Vote w/ ranked voting
5: Make Voting Day a national holiday for all levels of government
