The most effective things we could do are defunding the military, building actually good public transportation, defunding the military, banning suburban tanks, defunding the military, and building actually good public transportation, but we can't do those things because F-35 go boom *sobs*

Also a good reminder that the bombs we are paying for that are falling on refugees are exacerbating climate crises like wildfire outbreaks in January.

Smoke inhalation — even for seconds - can impair consciousness.
To anyone in the immediate vicinity of this unprecedented fire in the nations most populous county, urgently heed the evacuation orders NOW.
Smoke is as dangerous as the flames behind them.

A view of the Palisades Fire in the Pacific Palisades area near Los Angeles, California.
The wildfire is at heightened risk due to the high winds.
I hope they put it out soon.

I’m not comfortable with the idea that Nazis can just take over one social media platform at a time until marginalized folks are entirely removed from public discourse. Another option is for us to refuse to be moved 🤷🏻♀️

Wicked is a story that distinguishes between being a performative ally and being a true accomplice;
Between neoliberalism and leftism;
Between intersectional and white feminism;
Between transactional and true love.
