A lot of people want the far-right reactionaries around them (conservative neighbors, family members, police, ICE, etc) to have a change of heart so bad. Even if that were likely, the space between that change and where they're at now is filled with a bloodlust that will get you and others killed.

Good. CSAM by Grok must be a bridge too far. Period.

Obstructing an investigation. They should all be charged

Please go let them know

"I will not be f*cking gaslit by these people. I will not calm down the rhetoric and tone it down....Jonathan Ross murdered her." @timmiller.bsky.social on the new footage of the Renee Good shooting:

Jfc

it is impossible for mayors or cops to learn positive lessons about protest response because they all have two immovable beliefs: 1. it is evil and childish to hold police officers accountable for violent acts 2. cops must be present at all times during protests

A gentle reminder in your grief that Renee Good was out there to protect her Black and brown neighbors from ethnic cleansing. That is still the mission. The focus should remain on slowing down the ethnic cleansing campaign and on protecting Black and brown families and communities from destruction.

Does anyone know a group already working to push MSM on these things>?

I fumbled the link, but its kagi.com & we loves it

Really great poets rip your heart out & show it to you for you to assess & see how your humanity measures up.

Absolutely worth your time. Spread this as far & wide as you can. ***If this isn't SHTF, what is?*** youtu.be/XDIg3-bZobY

Donald Trump and JD Vance and Stephen Miller and Kristi Noem and Tricia McLaughlin lied. Renee Nicole Good died.

The government is saying that violence rules. That snatching foreign leaders and territories, and shooting US citizens in their cars at point blank range, is justified. That resistance is not only futile, it is dangerous. They can say these things. But they cannot force us to believe them.

I reshared @siembranc.bsky.social's excellent toolkit "How We Dealt with Border Patrol" in NC just this morning in my newsletter before this horrible killing. It's worth people reading and then acting on: docs.google.com/document/d/1...

More student endorsement for tech-free teaching #pedagogy

Why would anyone choose this LMS? “When you create “content” on Canvas…you grant Instructure a…perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, royalty-free…right…to use, license, distribute, reproduce…Your Content (in whole or in part) for the purposes of operating and providing the Instructure Properties.”

The timing is especially good, since my institution is weighing whether to switch to diabolical Canvas as we speak.

If the US holds Venezuela, we will seize 17% of oil -- yesterday's technology. If China uses this precedent to take Taiwan, it will own 60% of semiconductors -- tomorrow's technology. See what happens when you elect evil & stupid at the same time? Really American FB

"Their idea of improving this state is being a parrot for Trump. I'm not going anywhere. You can make your requests for me to resign. Over my dead body. I will fight this thing to the very end to make this state better. And the Q I think they need to decide is when will the guy in the WH resign?"

Pepperidge farm remembers when sex workers said their images were being stolen and nobody cared because society in general thinks that sex work isn't a real job and sex workers arent deserving of respect or labor rights. It would have been a good time to curtail AI.

If Dems talked like this regularly, we wouldn't have to focus on "how to win close elections in difficult environments." We would have a lot fewer close elections, and a lot fewer difficult environments.

1). The US is in the middle of the worst flu season in a decade. 2). Pertussis cases are the highest they have been in 20 years. 3). Measles has rebounded and elimination status has been lost. RFK.Jr. has not recommended vaccination, instead he is aggressively rolling back vaccine policy.

Ended up moving from Spotify to Qobuz using the guide and it was quick and easy, I'd highly recommend it!

NOTHING RECEIVED IN 15 HOURS, PLEASE HELP, THIS FEELS INSURMOUNTABLE AND SCARY RIGHT NOW. 💕💸

This is so spot on!

This, but for Labour

They're still fighting over who gets the 20th Century, and they're burning the 21st Century for fuel to do it

WTF

"The chances are that the fed. government is not going to do this themselves, that they're going to contract this out to an independent contractor. That independent contractor will be subject to your zoning laws," she said. More towns should be proctively enacting new zoning laws. #CommunityPower

In 2026 I want all of the decent people to remember one thing. You aren’t meant to be this disciplined, this self-sacrificing to survive. The environment is supposed to support good living. We can have that. You are not a failure. That is politics. That is all.

Question: But the president’s statements that he believed the election was rife with fraud—those are statements protected by the First Amendment, correct? Smith: Absolutely not. If they are made to target a lawful government function and are made with knowing falsity, then no, they are not.

"But of all the three hundred statues of Demetrius of Phalerum, not one acquired rust or dirt; they were all destroyed while he was still living; and those of Demades were melted down into chamber-pots." – Plutarch

🧵 Our mutual aid hub has been a HUGE draw for our immense volunteer base, many of whom have never wanted to be involved politics before now. This model isn’t just about the immediate impacts: It’s about showing our values, building a community, and reaching voters — without selling our soul!

Kalen Dion is not wrong. 😳👇

“I voted once for Trump in 2016 — I’ve learned right wing media is just a propaganda machine… ask yourself if the principles of this administration are actually in line with the teachings of Jesus. All they’re doing is exploiting the poor for the benefit of the billionaires.”

Ding ding ding

Super. Super important. Also, has anyone done a zine for this? I'd love for area kids to start passing these out at school

😒🚘 so it’s a coffin with wheels? #tesla

one of the critical things here is that 90 percent of journalism has been destroyed, and the remaining 10 percent is what was once the top 10 percent, highly status-driven, highly opinion-driven, and intensely New York/DC centered. there's no ladder to come up as a journeyman left.

Fun fact: You cannot play this video on YouTube anymore, but if you drop that YouTube link to ytdown.to/en2/ you can download full video.

"We see slop because the people making it are a class of losers who like slop. If they didn’t prefer slop, we’d have different outputs. So when anyone with taste and judgment accedes to slop, we concede power to people who don’t give a shit."
