Have you heard of Little Blue Market? "a place where conscious consumers can buy directly from vetted, progressive small businesses that believe in equality, democracy, and freedom"

Court can't go on like this. The Constitution as plainly as possible says people who were born here have an unequivocal right to citizenship. Four people whose ONLY job is to read the Constitution for the rest of their lives just tried to overturn it because they're tired of brown people. Pack it.

MAKE AN EMERGENCY DONATION to Trans Continental Pipeline right now.

They are a Colorado based org that helps trans people relocate there and they are overwhelmed with requests. CO borders KS, and TCP has the infrastructure to help get people out.

THE OPEN ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF GRIEF IS A POLITICAL ACT.
One of the things that genuinely shocked me as I read through surveillance logs for the police is how much of their energy and attention is dedicated to shutting down vigils and other ceremonies of remembrance.
Anyway ICE was filmed desecrating Renee Nicole Good’s memorial & doing violence to people who found that distasteful. Might be too soon to say if this falls into some kind of pattern of behavior if you’re the stupidest motherfucker on earth.

Having a cat is so cool. There is a little creature in my bed who loves me and vibrates like a tiny motorcycle and is so fuzzy and wants to snuggle. How could I want anything else

Parents need to get better at teaching their kids that swear words aren’t actually bad, they’re just only appropriate in certain contexts. This little girl at the grocery store just held up a bag of cauliflower rice and said “WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS” and she deserves a fucking Oscar

🚨Now is the time to prepare. When Trump’s presidency ends, we must be ready to hold every enabler & everyone following illegal orders accountable. Build legal strategies, support rights organizations, and organize your communities. Justice can’t wait, and we must be ready to act on day one #3E

What a contrast:

On the one hand, one grandiose spectacle in the nation's capital, a panorama of propaganda put on by an aspiring autocrat.

On the other hand, thousands of assemblies of free citizens across the nation, authentic celebrations of the proposition that here the people rule.

If you’re struggling today, take a moment to remember that the worst people you know, the racists, the transphobes and incels, are currently losing their minds on twitter as their overlords fight. Let that comfort you 🙏🏽

Genuinely has anyone *ever* been owned so badly as a man who converts to a new religion as an adult and sorta makes it his whole thing only to see the literal head of that religion rebuke his entire deal and then they choose the NEXT head of the religion specifically because he doesn't like you
