I’m not sure that I’ve ever seen so many folks peacefully protesting around the country (and the world) at the same time in my entire life.

tabletop gaming is going to be one of the first industries to just get nukes as a result of these idiotic tariffs
Steve Jackson Games posted this to their blog and the post is getting so many hits their site is effectively crashed but the point is worth repeating

i hope more than anything what people learn from this 2nd trump term is that the capitalist class are aligned and they want you to have less rights and only want you to exist to generate profit for them

The Department of Education set up a website for snitching on women, minorities and LGBTQ+ people. Treat it like a toilet and fill it full of piss and shit.

People with disabilities make up 20% of our nations population. (1 in 4) Nearly 2.4 million black Americans are disabled. 35 million women are disabled. Indigenous Americans make up 38% of the disabled population. Don’t forget them in your conversations because the intersections are important
I would like to make it clear, from watching a small portion of 45 speaking on national tragedy today. When blaming DEI it was very, very blatant ableism. Let’s remember that disabled people make up a huge portion of intersectionality.

The Trump admin has cancelled the panels that approve NIH grants, & is also banning scientists from communicating with the public, attending conferences, and hiring.

NIH is the largest funder of biomedical research in the world. This will severely halt the development of many lifesaving treatments.
