In so many ways it seems the present rings with a rhyme of the past. This present, painted with colors so many thought we could never see. A mirror with visions of familiar futures, and vastness of past unknowns.

I hope to someday appreciate, a realized future with hands on a present’s piece.
Is there means to by sector aggregate news cross platform? It’d be lovely to see something like this for US regions or states.

I’m thrilled to announce that I’ve been endorsed by Sunrise Movement! @sunrisemvmt.bsky.social

A Green New Deal and aggressive climate action are essential for our future — I promise to fight for both when I’m in Congress and also on the campaign trail.

My political hot take is that US voters should be able to recall elected representatives via petition - at any time.
No more hiding behind election terms.

I’ve come to believe that we need to gather considerable forces and a campaign to demand the removal of face masks by ICE, Border Patrol, FBI and police.

It is a practice in conflict with the principles of transparency & accountability that are central to the concept of democracy.
Video on social media shows an immigration agent pulling a gun in Little Village and holding it to the side — which is not an appropriate or safe way to hold a gun. (Among other issues.)

Chris Coons: "He's not listening to concerns about lowering costs. Instead he's worried about decorating his new Marie Antoinette ballroom or engaging in trying to figure out how to get his name on more statues and stadiums, or he's sitting across the table in the Oval Office with authoritarians."

This is an unprecedented historical moment that demands an unprecedented public response.

I’m incredibly thankful for the solidarity shown by elected officials, public figures, constituents, and others over the past few days.

In Feb 2025, Louisiana Surgeon General Ralph Abraham ordered the state health department to stop promoting vaccines.

Now, the news comes out that the health department failed to inform the public or even healthcare professionals about the largest whooping cough outbreak in more than a decade.
Louisiana officials waited months to warn public of whooping cough outbreak
After a whooping cough outbreak killed two infants, Louisiana health officials waited months to officially alert physicians or do public outreach. That's not the typical public health response.

In social movement studies, we talk about how marches and protests expand the threshold of acceptable risk so that people take more and bigger social risks IN PUBLIC, EN MASSE. This is extremely important for the bourgeois white folks holding signs and building social rapport.
Not a shitpost: #NoKings is feel-good performative activism for comfortable mostly upper and upper middle class white folks and that’s good, actually. Millions of people in the streets protesting a fascist regime is good. It is good for the normie baseline to be massive displays of public dissent.

The Walton family (who own Walmart) are worth over $400 billion, yet many of their employees are on SNAP.

Bezos is worth over $400 billion, many Amazon employees require SNAP.

The people who need help are not the problem.

It’s corporate greed. It’s an unwillingness to pay a living wage.

Been wrestling with my body the last month. Category and comparison wrench joy and dash it upon pillars of creation. From how hair lays to the space of muscle it’s attritional. Balancing ownership and objectification, validation and acceptance. Though Learning slowly while finding voice in song :p
