I want more folks to know about libro.fm as an alternative to Audible or Spotify or other shady corps. It’s 100% employee-owned and works like Audible, except your credits support an indie bookstore of your choosing instead of Amazon. Go listen to a disabled author for Disability Pride Month! 💙📚

Same audiobooks. Different story.libro.fm Libro.fm makes it possible for you to buy audiobooks directly through local bookstores.

If this resonates with you as an expert in your field, please feel free to hit me up on how to pitch an op-ed to MSNBC dot com

Where are the columnists who are experts in specific fields, breaking down what the Heritage Foundation + Trump want to do to each individual federal agency? E.g. I read the section dedicated to our intelligence agencies, and had to stop, since I was starting to feel a little nauseous.

After the civilian rescue ship #LouiseMichel rescued 37 people in distress at sea, it was assigned the port of Pozzallo in Sicily for disembarkation. Due to the bad weather, the ship sought shelter near Lampedusa and was eventually authorised to bring the rescued people ashore on Lampedusa.

Johnny McEntee, one of Trump's most loyal deputies who is in regular contact with him, is literally one of the people collecting resumes for staffers who would implement Project 2025. Shame on any journalistic outfit who takes this "truth" at face value.

Today in "Trump didn't write this, someone on his campaign staff did." I don't know if Kellyanne Conway is working for Trump these days but this feels more like her style, voice, and syntax than Trump or those posting on his behalf recently.

So hey, here's a thing I don't think a lot of folks know: That whole "Patient Zero" thing? The French-Canadian airhost who supposedly spread HIV all over America? That's not real. That's not what happened or how it happened.

Someone pls talk me out of listening to That Podcast. Help me touch grass. I beg you.

Over at the Bad Place, I made a tradition of posting Douglass' "What, To The Slave, Is The Fourth of July," and I intend to carry on that tradition here. Since most versions you read in classes or in textbooks have parts omitted, the link below has the full text of the speech.

A viral story that alleges Ukraine's Olena Zelenska recently bought a rare Bugatti car in Paris is the work of an AI-powered disinformation operation, run by an ex-Florida cop now based in Moscow, that pumps out a network of fake news websites aimed at Americans. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Just heard NPR pundits straight up praising the destruction of DOJ independence. I thought I was numb to DC brainrot but I’m having flashbacks to Jan 6, when a normie Dem friend who does political fundraisers told me totally sincerely, “well no one could have seen this coming”

"Posts show Bayswater members describing how they destroyed their children’s possessions, restricted their internet access or sent them to conversion therapy – all in an effort to ‘stop’ them being trans." www.thebureauinvestigates.com/stories/2024...

‘One day they may thank us for that “abuse”’: Inside the Bayswater…www.thebureauinvestigates.com On Discord, parents discussed destroying their children’s belongings and blocking access to Childline to ‘stop’ them being trans

See also: trans ppl and POC. The most vulnerable are also the least likely to find refuge internationally, and will have to contend with new oppressors wherever they land. No shade to exiles; I’m trying to emigrate as well. Just my managing expectations about outrunning the global far-right.

*lowers voice* As others have pointed out, you cannot necessarily even emigrate to Canada, your neighbour, if you are disabled or have evidence of 'undue' healthcare spending, for example (real life example unfortunately) receiving treatment in the adult psychiatric care system... involuntarily. 🙃
