What in the Gestapo is going on in Grand Rapids?
Watch this activist get arrested *mid-interview* for speaking out against U.S. action in Venezuela.

Own mask first all. No one can help another if they can’t breathe.
It doesn’t mean ignore pain. It doesn’t mean stick your head in the sand. It means you can’t help if you are also part of the triage queue.
Take care of yourself, really, because we are not machines.
We’re people. All of us.

my 75yo mother told me last night that she’s planning to delete Instagram and Facebook because she’s sick of not being able to tell what’s AI and what’s not, and I genuinely don’t think tech companies have reckoned with this kind of move as an actual possibility

I had meningitis in high school and was in a coma for several days. When I came back I had to relearn how to read fucking compound sentences bc my working memory was broken.
Vaccinate your fucking kids.
Vaccinate your fucking kids.
This is purpura fulminans, a severe complication of meningitis (which as of today is no longer on our universal vaccine schedule)
Micro clots & bleeding into the skin cause skin & tissue death. It’s more common in kids & associated with 20-70% mortality.
Those who survive often lose limbs.

I keep thinking about this post and how it's one of the best, most succinct messages Democrats could use in 2026 campaigns.

I cannot stress enough how much "you should process your trauma with a support group instead of becoming reactionary" is a universal truth above and beyond this particular issue.
“a trans woman i don’t know online asking why someone put tits on a nintendo dog is literally the same as how i was bullied in high school. that’s why it is ok to harass her for 2 days until she deletes her account”

A reminder that the US killed 80 people in Venezuela, and it would be nice if the US media cared enough to think that the life of a grandmother in Caracas whose building is destroyed by a US bomb matters as much as the life of a person in the US.

As a justification for war, Trump claims Venezuela "stole" US oil and infrastructure. That is, of course, a lie.

Trump says Venezuela stole U.S. oil, land and assets. Here’s the history.
The government of the oil-rich nation took control of its petroleum industry in 1976, nationalizing hundreds of private businesses and foreign-owned assets.

hey remember when a bunch of middle-aged drunk korean lawmakers climbed the locked gates to the national assembly to hold an emergency session after the president gave illegal orders to the military, all of which ended with said president being sentenced to prison

In 2026 I want all of the decent people to remember one thing.
You aren’t meant to be this disciplined, this self-sacrificing to survive. The environment is supposed to support good living. We can have that. You are not a failure. That is politics.
That is all.

THE DAY CARES ARE LOCKED BECAUSE YOU MADE A GENERATION-LONG EFFORT TO MAKE IT AS EASY AS POSSIBLE TO KILL THE CHILDREN INSIDE THEM YOU ABSOLUTE FUCKING GHOULS
these fucking people. they pass laws to make sure every person with a screw loose who wants an Armalite can show up to the day care armed & ready to kill, then complain that the day cares are locked to protect the children inside
CNN: “Surely you don’t think a daycare should be unlocked.”
SHIRLEY: “There should be a reception area.”
CNN: “No, every day care is locked.”
SHIRLEY: “Fair point.” 🤔
He shows up to a day care with masked men and wonders why they don’t let him in.
