if you're asking pritzker or any governor to send state cops to arrest federal cops may i ask the strain of cannabis you're smoking

The US has blocked a UN Security Council resolution for an immediate Gaza ceasefire and full aid access. It was the sixth American veto, with 14 votes in favour. The resolution also demanded hostage releases. #Gaza #USVeto

Not gonna vote for him for dog catcher much less president so you all better find someone who isn't a heartless asshole

Why am I never going to shut up about how terrible Gavin Newsom is? Because I don't like this cross-platform inorganic effort to shut people up about how he much he sucks. I'm not letting a bunch of bots tell me what to do. It's pure oppositional defiance. Lol

Gavin Newsom's policy on homeless people is exactly the same as Trump's policy on homeless people. I won't ever vote for anyone who sends armed men after my peaceful neighbors. That's as low a bar as I can manage, truly a bare minimum of democratic representation.

The enemy of my enemy is often also my enemy and it's cool when they hurt each other

I hate how when rich people lose elections, they get to buy a do-over.

There are some gay guys realizing gay marriage is under attack and talking about indivisible lgbtq solidarity, who need to reflect on why they weren't saying the same thing when it was just trans people's rights in the news.

Sweeping homeless camps and arresting the residents is just as fascist when Gavin Newsom does it as when Trump does it.

I love it when everyone suddenly gets mad about something I've been mad about for decades. Fuck payment processor censorship / discrimination!

Everyone deserves to know if the CEO is screwing the head of HR because that's super unethical, I don't care who's married

Zohran Mamdani doesn’t need the New York Times to succeed and Donald Trump still does

A judge ruled last week that the city could clear the encampment as long as it gave residents 72 hours notice.

When Star Wars Ep1 came out, we all knew a lot of plot stuff that'd have to happen before Ep4 just for continuity. But Friday came out 30 years ago, and with two sequels I still have no idea how they plan to tie it in to Friday the 13th. That's how you build suspense.

primary all of them. fuck this noise

Just hook it to my veins!

Y'all are going to have to realize that using the word felon as an insult doesn't do what you think it does. Most people in for felonies are not dangerous or bad, they just got caught on the wrong side of a fucked up set of laws. Many/most with felonies are decent, if unlucky, folks in your class.

I get kinda annoyed at people who say "all this because people didn't want to vote for a woman!" Sexism was part of it, but also Dems consistently caved to Netanyahu and continued writing blank checks to support Israel's aggression despite pressure from voters. Nobody ran on "let's not do that".

Please do not call the police when an ICE raid is occurring. It is highly unlikely that they will do anything to protect those being targeted, and much more likely that they will escalate the situation or allow it to continue. Their work is entrenched in systemic racism and oppression.

I made this video six months ago. It's very relevant today #skrmetti

If the police are breaking the law (or helping ICE to break it), then calling 911 is unhelpful. Passing more laws is also unhelpful. We can't fix it without acknowledging that we have a police problem.

In case you are wondering what started some of the protests yesterday. It's so important to be witnesses to this, and to call your representatives to tell them that this is NOT what Americans want.

Berkeley is destroying the possessions of people with nowhere to go again. No shelter available. Everyone will still be on the street afterward, even more desperate than ever. Why are we doing this?

Workers could be seen dismantling structures at the encampment around Eighth and Harrison streets Wednesday morning.

"The hallways...were absolutely lined with ICE agents. And immigrants were scared to leave, even though their cases were still open. What happened was that ICE agents then stormed into the courtroom, kicked out the attorneys, and detained everyone in the courtroom over the judge's objections."

Kansas just saw the first-ever private lawsuit under a state age verification law—filed by the mother of a teen who accessed adult sites on her laptop. Backed by anti-porn group NCOSE, they're demanding in $14M in damages. This case pushes the limits of AV laws —and the open internet.

Jan 6 rioters were bad because they fought for fascism against the results of an election, not because they used force against the government. I'm sick of hearing how bad it is that they fought against police. It's bad that they fought against democracy.

If you've got the income and the continued existence of queer porn is important to you, it's literally NEVER been a better time to pay for it, buy it, subscribe to it, and talk about it with your friends and followers. Across the board, I'm hearing signups are down and cancellations are up.

People keep looking for a saviour leader to appear among the candidates you can vote for but just as most successful career politicians lack substance (because looking good without delivering on substance is the optimal career talent) changing the world substantially doesn't come through voting.

Just a thought I had the other day: autism etc often thought of in terms of trains etc, but never makeup, doll collecting, interior decorating etc though these things will often have to BE EXACTLY RIGHT or the person will MELTDOWN and I wonder why* that is "Not Autism" exactly *bit rhetorical, eh

People are like "actually it's not radical to suggest that ICE are bad people, radical would be to take legal action against them!" while the radical thing to do is obviously to fight them with violence. Anything other than that is a moderate approach, which is preferable only if effective.

Okay it’s true that any attack on porn is an attack on LGBTQ+ people and sex ed but also porn is good and should not be attacked.

When it comes to watching smoke, I have to say, Coogler's version is way more entertaining than the Vatican's.

"Unless everyone has due process, nobody does" also applies to police killings

It's kinda shocking how many people's hot take right now is that the reason we have a fascist government is because some people tried to use voting pressure to discourage the government from genocide.

Simply put.

The people saying "everyone is telling my son he's bad just for being a man!" are the same ones who will hit a crying boy and say "be a man!"

There is a narrative right now that boys/young men are feeling super criticized by feminism. It's true that feminism will now shame you if you act misogynist. The problem is that patriarchy will still beat the shit out of you if you don't. The strongest social pressure on boys comes from men.

There's no point trying to become self sufficient as individuals or households. We can and should become more self sufficient as communities. You can't grow your own food and feed your whole family. But you can grow your community's direct relationships with food producers you know and trust.

Pet peeve: "this group I identify with actually has no bad people in it. The definition is secretly super nuanced and excludes anyone bad, so those bad people aren't really associated with us. In fact this identity is defined to encompass everything good as is therefore the key to saving the world".

That moment when you're alone in the house belting out the most embarrassing karaoke, then you hear your neighbor cough (through two open windows) and realize you have no choice but to move.

I love how pissed everyone is about how bad it is to be imprisoned for BS gang accusations. I really hope we extend that energy to our staggeringly enormous domestic prison system, where citizens accused of gang activities are used for slave labor. They have trials, but often not fair ones.

As an atty who used to represent kids in school discipline & court & had to deal w/"gang task forces" all the time, I do want ppl to know it's always been easy for the govt to accuse/label someone (esp a kid) as a gang member w/no real evidence & then treat them as such ongoing—that part is not new.

I dreamed I was watching a tennis match and then one player started beating the other brutally. The announcers were speculating whether this aggressive style of play was strategic, and whether it would increase viewership. A tennis expert explained how it could ruin overhand volleys if allowed.

Ex-Biden State Department official says even the Israeli military expected the US to only let them bomb Gaza for weeks, rather than unconditionally for a year and a half:

My pet peeve is poetry that would be stronger as prose but the author is hiding their voice behind line breaks because they'd rather be a artist than a loudmouth. If it would hit harder as prose, it misses the point of poetry.

Palestinian workers have always been the backbone of the Palestinian struggle for freedom and justice — fighting against Israeli apartheid, occupation, and calling for the end of settler-colonialism. www.middleeasteye.net/news/palesti...

When I was in school, the only thing considered cringier than enjoying nerdy stuff was enjoying queer stuff. Nobody cared about politics, bullies just fucked with people who made them cringe and were thriving. Let people make you cringe. If they are doing harm, name the harm.
