For anyone who doesn't know... @psychopete.bsky.social has compiled a thorough list of companies to boycott. It's pinned to the top of his page. It's nearly impossible to avoid every company, but where we have the ability to choose, we can make better choices. #DontFeedTheBeast

I don’t think the Republicans plan to open the government for a while.
Trump thinks he is untouchable while Congress is out. He has no incentive to get them back to work.

#walmart #kroger #albertsons Will you stand up for Americans about to lose their SNAP benefits? You could be heroes. Make an insignificant ding in your massive profits by extending the benefits yourselves.

Billionaires aren’t “geniuses.” They’re parasites who hoard wealth built by workers they underpay, governments they bribe, and loopholes they write for themselves.
Stop worshipping them — they’re not role models. They’re leeches!

I don't believe in political violence, but if you try to "euthanize" homeless military veterans or any other homeless person, you're gonna have a real big goddamn problem with me.

When I was in the Army, we had a term for a soldier whom everyone else despised.
We called them "That Guy."
That Guy could be any rank: private, sergeant, lieutenant, colonel.

They are malignant narcissists before they are fascists. They are driven to have omnipotent control to protect their idealized self. Narcissists think they’re smarter and superior, and that their ideas are novel and special. Science and experts are a threat to their idealized self as omnipotent.

Some really good news in an otherwise bleak landscape.
Illinois is launching a first-of-its-kind legal hotline for LGBTQ+ individuals — Illinois Pride Connect.
As the only state in the nation that will provide free legal advice to protect the LGBTQ+ community, we'll help fight ignorance with information and cruelty with compassion.
