This administration's immigration policies has ensured that I will never stop fighting for a workers' revolution to overthrow the Epstein class. The new 'rule' they just announced today, requiring green card applicants to return to their home countries, is complete BS. OUST TRUMP.

Not surprising, but completely disgusting. SSI payments are already way below what any adult needs to survive in the United States; people can only survive on it without being homeless if they're in public housing or have friends/family to rely on for housing. This hurts people who have the latter.

A new rule change will allow the government to count having a place to sleep as income, and deduct it from SSI payments. progressive.org/latest/got-a...

Not surprised to see Israel making the Eurovision final. The entire contest is basically just a platform for pinkwashing Israel and pretending the genocide didn't happen. 🙄 #BoycottEurovison

Today in creepy AI bus ads in San Francisco: I'm pretty sure that this AI Uncanny Valley woman stole my soul while I was waiting for the bus... #fuckai #sf

Everyone, we have a new champion in my search for the Doucheist AI advertisement in San Francisco! Yes, why hire a real person to be a receptionist when you can hire an AI chatbot that has the uncanny valley image of a RealGirl doll and who can't sue your douchey CEO for sexual harassment? 🤢🤮

The number of obnoxious AI company billboards in San Francisco right now almost feels like an attack on the non-tech workers in the city. Nobody wants to see your smug corporate executive face at the bus stop, bro. #FuckAI #AIFail

I can't get over how much the latest statement from Iran sounds like something from Mean Girls. Which is fair. I just can't help but picture a Regina George snap at the end of this. 😅

Wearing a t-shirt I got today at the People's History Museum in Manchester, England. It's a great museum if you're ever up there. The shirt commerates the 40th anniversary of the great Miner's strike, and the LGBT committee that helped raise money for their strike fund.

This is just an apolitical post. Respect to this restaurant for pre-emptively evading the Karens and Chads who I assume have called them in the past.

Okay, even reading the Guardian during this illegal attack on Iran is annoying because they just liveblog propaganda from US Central Command. Does anyone have recommendations for alternative neutral sources that have live updates? I've tried TeleSur but their website isn't great.

Not sure what I can add to the No War Against Iran conversation, except to say that my best childhood friend, Pfc. Adare Cleveland, was killed in Fallujah in 2007 for absolutely no fucking reason except for US government imperalist bullshit. We don't need a repeat that will be 10x worse.

New hoodie. #FuckIce. I know showing solidarity with clothing isn't much, but I hope it's something. I can't run from the cops during protests like I used to, but I can try to make my opinions known.

I'm not sure how many followers I have in the UK, but I wanted to share this. I've visited Manchester twice, for a total of about 3 weeks, so I think I've spent more time there than the Reform candidate. I'm encouraged by how the Green Party is growing there.

Meet Hannah Spencer - Green MP candidate for Gorton and Denton, and the only vote to stop Reform.

Feeling in a mood to #AbolishIce today. Not reform them, which is apparently as far as Democratic leadership is willing to go, but smash them into little pieces.

Fresh ink today. I chose to get a phoenix because it's symbolic of so many things to me; the hope that Palestine will someday rise from the ashes as San Francisco did; my connection to Greek mythology/religion, and personal rebirth. I like how it turned out.

Hey everyone, I'm super sick right now with flu onset, or else I'd be at a rally denouncing the US attack on Venezuela. The era of yanqui Imperialism should be over. Fuck Trump, and solidarity with the people of Venezuela.

So, ugh. I left Spotify over ICE ads and Israeli government contracts. I went to Pandora. Then I found out they run ICE ads. So does Youtube. I've heard now that Tidal is an alternative - does that check out?

Just a couple beautiful San Francisco photos. We're all lucky to live here. San Francisco may not be the greatest city in the world, but I'll fight NYC and its terrible weather for, "Eh, best you can do in the States" 😛

I'm someone who has gone through the immigration process, and is waiting for it, for mi prometido, and...you see these things of people pretending to care about issues that are not relevant, and it's infuriating.

So October 23, 1995, as an 8-year-old kid with cerebral palsy, I underwent an orthopedic surgery which put me in a body cast and left me immobile for 6-8 weeks. I was pulled out of school for the year. It was an incredibly dark time, but it gave me an understanding of freedom can't be replicated.

Reported 50 ICE cars & 100 agents are swarming Little Tokyo, Los Angeles. It’s right outside Gov. Newsom’s press office. Intimidation tactics & propaganda are hallmarks of fascism. Fear and compliance keep them in power. CA MUST BE FREE FROM THIS DICTATORSHIP!! #FreeTheBear

missionlocal.org/2025/08/habe... There aren't enough immigration attorneys in the right place at the right time for this to work across the board, but it's good to see that the right of habeas corpus still exists in the United States. For now.

missionlocal.orgAn old legal procedure is getting asylum-seekers out of ICE detentionOn Friday, a 20-year-old asylum seeker walked into immigration court at 630 Sansome St. As has become routine, he was arrested and detained.

We'll have to see if a viable movement emerges for this, but I gotta say, with the actions of the federal government over the past few months targeting California communities, if there was a referendum on secession, I know how I'd vote.

Nazis plan more Nazi shit. Let’s get out of this dying fascist empire so we can protect our children, families, communities from their fascist terror. #GeneralStrike until all Feds leave the California Republic! #LiberateCalifornia #FreeTheBear #AbolishICE!

One of my pet peeves in disability language, behind the absolutely cringe-worthy "differently-abled," is the term "living with HIV." HIV is inside *your* body. You aren't its roommate. You're its landlord.
