There is something about a micro that I find so haunting. Maybe it's because as readers, we're invited into the story in such an intimate way. Each reading excavates more of the story. I love this horror micro by @matthollingsworth.com in Sudden Flash. yoursuddenflash.blogspot.com/2026/04/a-le...

An action you can take against Dear Leader's disturbing rant about banning mail-in voting and "nationalizing elections" is to call your state's Attorney General and tell them hard no to collaborating with federal criminals, as per Article I, Section 4, Clause 1 of the Constitution.

The people of Minnesota have executed one of the most impressive civil resistance campaigns I can remember: - Organized a city wide general strike - Maintained nonviolent discipline amidst violence - Mobilized 10,000s in subzero temps to protest and watch ICE - Flipped public opinion against ICE

ICE killing #AlexPretti should remind you of police killing #PhilandoCastille. Both men had concealed weapon permits, did not draw their guns, & were killed in Minn. These homicides are the price of unaccountable policing. These deaths are variations on the same fatal theme.

"I am Puerto Rican," she says. "I send my kids with their passports to school. I'm having conversations with them about safety: Am I safe at school? A week ago we had an incident where there was a school bus with the STOP sign open and kids were getting on the bus and it was surrounded by ICE agents. And this is 7:20 in the morning and - just - you get that fight-or-flight response." At first her 9-year-old was carrying her passport in her backpack; now it's in her back pocket. "I have to prepare them for it if they get stopped," she says. "I said, Do not engage. This is not the time to be cussing at anyone. But she said, Mom, if I create enough noise, my friends can get away."

Every time a health insurance claim is denied or a premium is increased, a billionaire CEO gets richer. They don’t have to worry about medical care. They get the best care money can buy while denying that right to everyone else. Universal healthcare now.

#3157 A helpful tutorial
A digital drawing of one of those drawing tutorials that says 'don't do this, do this.' 
The drawing is of an almost naked middle-aged man doing a flying kick. The 'Don't do this' one has a bunch of areas circled and a cross under it. The 'Do this' one is exactly the same but without the circles and a tick instead of a cross.
The text reads 'Needlessly adding red circles will ruin your art' and a smaller bit of text at the bottom reads 'Bonus tip! Add a tick under all your art so people think you did it right.'

Alice Wong fought tirelessly against institutionalizing disabled people. She understood that we deserve autonomy over our care. That healthcare is a basic human right and people should receive the support they need to remain in their homes & communities. Fight for universal healthcare now!

Many disabled people won’t go to the ER unless they’re literally dying (or forced against their will). We’ve dealt with too much trauma & consider it an unsafe place. That trauma is compounded in the US by agonizing over whether you can afford the bill. Healthcare should be a human right.

RFK wants to start his autism registry. A huge red flag to those of you not paying attention. Indeed, they aren't new in the US - NJ and Utah have them off the top of my head. And they aren't a good thing. A similar idea to RFK's was attempted in the UK and halted. We must fight.

The full quote from RFK, Jr. is truly disgusting and this is 100% him calling for institutionalization of autistic people. This is horrifying.
“These are kids who will never pay taxes,” Kennedy declared. “They’ll never hold a job. They’ll never play baseball. They’ll never write a poem. They’ll never go out on a date. Many of them will never use a toilet unassisted. We have to recognize we are doing this to our children.”
