It's pretty interesting what the media decides is front page news and what they don't decide is front page news! Trump being a child sex abuser with close connections to Jeffrey Epstein somehow doesn't merit the same coverage as "unnamed Dem insider has concerns about Biden's age"

Self-care is essential, but what about those times when you're so emotionally distressed that even self-care feels impossible? That's when you need to turn to: ✨self-soothing✨ Self-soothing isn't a reward or a treat, it's a necessity to be able to continue on your day effectively.

This is why whisper networks are not enough. Not even close. Better than nothing? Sure, but… kinda the same way a bandaid is better than nothing when you’re dealing with a sucking chest wound.

good morning my community, A word of advice. You may be struggling with your feelings of shock with the Neil Gaiman allegations. Now is the time to process that conflict silently, in your own heart—not on the timeline where other survivors have to watch you struggle to believe. Okay.

The cellular level at which I feel this, you have no idea. The kid who "bullied" me so badly at 13 ('92) that he suggested I kill myself more than once is, I kid you not, a Harvard alum who runs one of those predatory crypto financial schemes. He's doing great.

Almost a year ago I was illegally fired for union activity. I've rationed out the funds I raised, but they run out soon. I've filed labor charges, but they're still winding through the bureaucracy. I've searched for work, but I'm a trans woman who's higher-risk for covid. I'd like to stay housed:

Everyone is always afraid to say why people like Trump or Marie Le Pen have some level of popularity and it’s just that there’s a lot of people in the world who believe in racism. You end up with these goofy ass explanations for Trump where it’s NAFTA or shit and it’s like no you know what it is

Mmhmm! That’s my hope. Whisper networks are better than nothing but a bunch of us have been praying, for years, that a more serious and reputable investigative journalism team would take this on.

The only leftist position is to throw everything you've fucking got at the fascists. If there's a 1% chance of it damaging the fascist movement, you fucking do it. Voting costs nothing, go do it then get back to organizing.

A mask ban makes our communities LESS safe. It makes everyone more at risk of COVID and other health concerns. It increases harassment of higher risk people, Asian people, and many others. It increases profiling of Black and Brown communities.

Today's update showing a dramatic gap beginning to form. 2024 is no longer just on pace to pass 2023. It is going to blow it out of the water. Since 2016, each year has had a higher number of police killings than the year before. Since 2019, each year has represented a new record high.
