"Abolish ICE" is catchy & the established slogan, but we need to be clear that "Crush CBP" is the political end-goal we should clamor for. Or even "Demolish DHS"
I am begging everyone, but ESPECIALLY reporters, to clearly differentiate between ICE and Border Patrol. Literally begging!!

Listen to me. Please listen. In this year of 2026, if there is not a listed price do NOT buy that item.
I understand that this cannot be done with groceries, but with everything else do NOT buy it.
Do not let these companies get away with breaking federal law, and do NOT let them upcharge you!

Pro tip: If you are attending a crowded event in winter, wearing a well-fitting mask like an N95 can serve double duty by keeping your face warm and keeping viruses away.
(yes, transmission can still happen outdoors in crowds or with close and sustained contact to someone who is sick).

disappointed to see some people perpetuate the "socialism means u have to be poor" section of the fascist propaganda handbook by sneering at someone for having nice shoes.

There are image models that will refuse to generate sexual content because their owners actively code to prevent it.
It is absolutely a choice for Grok to just do whatever the fuck people want it to, from nonconsensually undressing photos of women to generating CSAM. Punish Musk & Grok devs!

Joe "Nothing Will Change" Biden was a bad president, and he bears a lot of the blame for the current mess we're in. If he hadn't sucked so much, the Dems could have gotten more people to vote for them, whether it was him or Harris.
We needed someone to Fix Things, and he just said NAH.

I remain furious at Joe Biden
I feel like that gets lost sometimes now and it’s important to remember. One of the most important bits is that nobody is coming to save us, it’s up to the people, not the next big charisma

Make masks FIT and FREE! As we experience a record breaking flu surge and the ongoing effects of COVID, now would be a great time to ramp up efforts to make high quality N95 masks free and widely available. Really wish free mask distribution was a regular feature of progressive events for example.

Yes, I'm a white person who reposts the [thoroughly justified!] rants that non-white people post about white people. Because my fellow white people need to DO BETTER.
If this makes you mad, be better. I'm AuDHD with energy-limiting disabilties, and I'm still doing the work myself. Ongoing process.

Solidarity is always important but it's becoming absolutely essential.
We cannot win by allowing ANY targeted group to be taken down.
We MUST stick together, fight for and with one another, and stay vigilant about retaining empathy for everyone.

This is the "testing the waters" phase of the playbook. The GOP ecosystem targets groups like Somalis, Haitians, and trans people specifically because they've calculated that the average person's passive disapproval won't ever turn into active defense. They're exploiting public apathy.
i'm really having a hard time getting past the "surely we can all agree that Somalis are worse than trash" thing. this feels new and very bad

By retreating only to "kitchen table issues" to avoid being labeled "woke," Democratic leaders have left an open goal for the GOP. When you treat the harassment of vulnerable communities as a "distraction" rather than a crisis, you're not avoiding a fight: you're just forfeiting it.

Hopefully people start to make the connection that this is why there is so much discussion about the violence of racist, transphobic, and sexist rhetoric in campus lectures, classrooms, dorms, etc. You give these fucks an inch and they will take your whole world.
Yep, the level of vicious bigotry is extreme and we can cannot give an inch. There is a movement on the far right, supported by billionaires and powerful people in the White House, who want to ethnically cleanse Somalis from the U.S., and we must describe it as such and treat it as such.

I remember, in the Before Times, when masking was encouraged.
I know masks make people's tummies feel weird, but that is the reality of the situation. I'm sorry we were told vaccines would prevent Covid, and then told that if we 𝗱𝗶𝗱 get Covid, it wouldn't hurt us. Neither of these things are true, unfortunately.

Was just looking up POTS subtypes for a reply I was typing up on Reddit.
After my autonomic testing last month, I seem to have all three of the major subtypes: hyperadrenergic, neuropathic, and hypovolemic.
That would explain why fludrocortisone is essential to me, but still not enough.

So, for me, these compression tops:
* reduce abdominal pooling
* reduce hip and back pain
* ease sensory issues
* work as a decent tank top if I get too warm in my top layer
I bought the one I'm wearing at full price, so I jumped at this sale with my gift card balance. Hope this helps!

This IS my affiliate link, but I'm literally wearing this compression top right now.
It's the only one I've ever worn that covers my hips and doesn't try to roll up above my stomach while I'm sitting in bed...which negates the reason for wearing one. So this one DOES THE JOB.
