Im more convinced than ever that not a single fix to any problem will exist in my lifetime. We’ll never get healthcare. There will never be true equality. There will never… there will never…

GOP is good at the Luntz method of strategic word choice: selecting language carefully designed to trigger emotionally charged, intuitive responses that powerfully frame issues in ways beneficial to their political agenda (estate tax ➾ death tax) We need to do that with Medicaid Work Requirements

I hate depression. It really distorts my view of people. At least I think it does since I believe that most people enjoy causing and watching people suffer.

The obsession with the Signal chat and not that the administration bypassed Congress to drop bombs is the perfect illustration of the Democratic Party’s disconnect.

Sending Americans to outsourced labor camps. This is not designed to stop at immigrants. Some of you may not want to hear this, but the assault on immigrants didn’t start with Trump, it simply accelerated.

This garbage needs to stop. Jews do not face any institutional hurtles whatsoever, and comparing them to “blacks” as a derogatory is very telling about both the writer and the overarching system regarding anti-black racism.

Cutting Medicare and Medicaid is wildly unpopular. That's why they're trying to jam these draconian cuts through right out of the starting blocks, before the American people tune into what's happening. We need to buy time.

It’s wanting to abolish Section 504, wanting to cut Medicare, wanting to get rid of DEIA, wanting to stop people working from home. All of this will kill disabled people. When we tell you that pandemics lead to fascism, this is what we mean. When you excuse our deaths, these policies are pushed.

Makes sense, and many movements have neglected other oppressed identities, including labor movements. I think class consciousness could further our understanding of the way identity is used by capitalists to divide us. Class consciousness hasn’t been fully realized without understanding identity.

Another example: Climate change. The planet is dying, but corporations keep polluting because profit comes first. The contradiction? We need a livable planet, but capitalism needs endless growth. The two can’t coexist forever—something has to give. And we know corporations won't give in freely.

Example: Look at capitalism today. Billionaires hoard wealth while millions struggle to eat or pay rent. People have to work to survive, but the more they work, the richer the ruling class gets—while workers stay broke. That’s an "internal contradiction". That’s why capitalism is a huge failure!

I've been asked if SSI/SSDI payments are in jeopardy now that DOGE demanded access to "sensitive information" forcing the resignation of the career civil servant who was acting administrator We've seen how they've smashed their way through other agencies; DOGE is a threat to SSI/DI payments 🧵

Hundreds of asylum seekers from around the globe are being trapped by the US in a Panama hotel where they'll eventually be sent to a camp in the jungle. One Chinese man said “I thought: America is a free country with respect for human rights. I had no idea it was like a dictatorship.”

They arrived at the United States
border from around the world, hoping
to seek asylum. Instead, they were
detained, shackled and flown by the
U.S.military to a faraway country,
Panama

They were stripped of their passports
and most of their cellphones, they said,
and then locked in a hotel, barred from
seeing lawyers and told they would
soon be sent to a makeshift camp near
the Panamanian jungle.

At the hotel, at least one person tried to
commit suicide, according to several
migrants. Another broke his leg trying
to escape. A third sent a plaintive
missive from a hidden cellphone: "Only
a miracle can save us."

In one window visible from a sidewalk
below the hotel, a woman clawed at a
latchless glass pane in an attempt to
escape. When she noticed journalists
below, she held up a piece of paper that
read "Afghan.

She made hand motions that indicated
an airplane, then her head falling off.
The message seemed to be clear: A
flight home meant death.

To call it a bulb was generous. It does seem to have that covering though. The flowers (I haven’t seen in years) are red, maybe orange, I can’t recall. This plant hasn’t died b4 (had this plant for over a decade), but I’ve been a neglectful mom for 2 years. Is there any way I can bring him back?

Andie @mssmartypanda.bsky.social · 17/02/2025

I think it’s a clivia. Though, the flowers aren’t in clusters. From the ones I’ve seen, they are generally just a single flower on a single stem, but this could be because of poor plant parenting.
