What a joke. #BoycottTarget
Pride is not about hiding 🤦
Target had one job, be better than Walmart, and they failed, without that they have no reason to exist.
Do they understand that?

Target's bold "Pride" collection this year features a colorless hoodie with the words "Out Loud & Proud" written teeny tiny only the string.

A lot of folks forget, but Disabled people’s organized protests saved the ACA in 2017. And as far as cop brutality to Disabled people goes—it’s extremely normal, more so for Disabled BIPOC.

I left X long ago, but I noticed that one can only see the last 24 hours of posts without signing in. Seems like I don’t know, the White House official posts - or any official government posts - ought to be public, particularly when the Social Security admin is moving official comms there.

Let’s be clear. When the President defies the Supreme Court, it is the role of Congress to remove him from office. Full stop.

Caught on a hot mic suggesting five more prisons in El Salvador for “homegrowns” after flagrantly and illegally ignoring multiple court orders to return Kilmar Abrego Garcia. What the actual fuck is going on?

70% of all people in jails are legally innocent. Many of them are held behind bars simply because they cannot afford bail.
Money bail perpetuates an endless cycle of poverty and jail time.

Just a reminder that four weeks have passed since @gavinnewsom.bsky.social three trans kids under the bus.
Not only has he NOT apologized, he doubled-down.
We think of him as a champion for LGBTQ equality - but maybe it was just for political gain…?

Much of what the Trump regime wants to carry out (eg terrorizing people into silence) is first being enacted against non-citizens.

Hundreds of international students have just received an email telling them their visas have been revoked.
The ‘justification’ is campus activism or social media posts.

“That this sociopathic posting style is coming out of this administration—that it has been so thoroughly mainstreamed by the right—suggests that the cultural architecture of the internet has changed. There is still a fever swamp, but now the White House sits on top of it.”
The worst norms of the extremely online took over the halls of power.
Instead of authority figures acting as a bulwark against reprehensible behavior, they recognized that this stuff captures attention and enthusiastically adopted it as a way to galvanize the base.

I wrote about the White House X account — which is steeped in the sociopathic posting style of far-right extremists — and seems to get more sinister and cruel with its posts each week of the administration. www.theatlantic.com/technology/a...

“The intake began with slaps. One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, “I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.” I believed him. But maybe it’s only because he didn’t look like what I had expected—he wasn’t a tattooed monster.”

The good people of Nebraska don’t fuck around when they’re pushed up against a wall.
No, not Democrats being “bused in”—just regular Nebraskans waking up to the fact that their Social Security is on the chopping block to fund tax cuts for billionaires.
