Republican. Democrat.
Liberal. Conservative.

These terms feel useless in describing the current state of affairs.

The GOP has opposed gun control for decades. But Dems just ran for president on “the most lethal military in the world.”

Violence isn’t anomalous to our culture. It is the culture.

Trump is not the only threat to our lives. The duopoly that runs this country must be stopped. The democratic wing of that infamous group must also be stopped and exposed as the enemies of the people that they are.

If you see value in making your events accessible—for disability justice, to resist fascist agendas, etc—but need masks, info, guidance, etc, look up your local mask bloc.

They provide free masks & tests, educate the public, exist worldwide, and anyone can join or start one. Give/get mutual aid:

Since RFK Jr wants to ban “petroleum-based” food dyes,

does that mean he’s going to ban methylene blue, his favorite unregulated supplement?

Because that’s…also derived from petroleum.

Read today’s newsletter for facts about petroleum, food dyes, & health. ⬇️

No, you're not eating gasoline. The "petroleum food dye" narrative is disinformation.
RFK Jr. and the wellness industry ignore basic chemistry to sell fear about food dyes and your health.

Indeed I’m fearful. We aren’t testing much any more. We’re firing everyone in govt who can help and stripping funding from academic & industry scientists who can fill the gaps. H5N1 is a real threat & US policy puts us all at risk. Me & colleagues Kay Russo, Kamran Khan, & Keith Poulsen discuss👇🏻
As the H5N1 bird flu virus mutates and rapidly spreads through American cattle herds — a first for the U.S. — doctors and veterinarians are fearful that if the virus is left unchecked, it could spiral into a possible pandemic. https://cbsn.ws/4ionCJG
As bird flu hits cattle herds in U.S., scientists say these H5N1 factors worry them most
Bird flu infections have been rare among people, but the pathogen is evolving, which has scientists worried about a possible pandemic.

Air pollution has dropped significantly in #Paris in the last 15 years as a result of a deliberate strategy. Mayor @annehidalgo.bsky.social’s leadership has traded car space for green space, safe bike space, kid space.. and traded pollution for people.

Good trade.

Y'all, there are more options than brittle "just in time" capitalism built on massive exploitation and hyper-fascist closed border serf capitalism built on rabid nationalism. They're both really evil even if one's a lot louder about it.

It's important to remember that, especially right now.
Mutual aid preparation folks emphasizing that, in times of upheaval and climate catastrophe, it's a really good idea for communities to think about their supply lines/produce more locally are the absolute opposite of closed border fash and it's worth knowing the difference.

Listen to this 1994 interview with Edward Said and see how little has changed. If anything, what he warns about has come to pass and only gotten worse. He even said that the Israelis will seek to have all of southern Syria demilitarized.
