If you plan on going to any protests, please, please, PLEASE implement some personal digital security protocols beforehand and encourage others to do the same. I recommend these checklists (next few posts in thread):

They're trying to prevent the student newspaper from printing news, period. Not just a particular story. "The Media School directed us to print no news in the paper... nothing but information about homecoming — no other news at all, and particularly no traditional front page news coverage."

If you think you know why US newspapers died, this feature documentary now streaming for free on PBS might surprise you. It wasn't the Internet. Newspapers were specifically targeted by vulture capitalists. I composed the score for the film, which features electric cello & Crowfoot guitars.

Election ballots mailed on Nov. 4 may not be counted, state officials warn

Activists aboard a Gaza-bound aid flotilla say the Israeli navy has begun intercepting their vessels as they approach the Palestinian territory.

I have raised £277. I am so thankful. I have found a return flight for £1209! When/if I raise £500, I will go ahead and by this ticket and pray to make up the difference. I so appreciate you all.

Speaking of voices under attack…can we be just as loud about Black journalists and comedians who are silenced, even by our so-called liberal outlets. • Joy Reid • Don Lemon • Melissa Harris-Perry • Tiffany Cross • Jemele Hill • Marc Lamont Hill • Karen Attiah • Amber Ruffin

Republicans, Trump included, are zeroing in on transgender people and blaming us for the looming government shutdown. They are demanding that Democrats cave on transgender rights. Many of them are copying the same talking points in their messages.

"edgelord" is such a great coinage, because it sounds as if it's about to describe something really stupid and then it does

My employer New York Public Radio just announced that it is offering @onthemedia.bsky.social, @radiolab.bsky.social, and other programs to at-risk public radio stations for free! More info: current.org/2025/09/wnyc...

9/ I had launch with Paulina Borsook last month in Oakland. Her life is hard, but she still has a lot to say! She's trying to raise funds to get a new version of the book reissued on the Internet Archive. Some of her friends have a running GoFundMe to support her: www.gofundme.com/f/support-fo...

USE YOUR FUCKING TURN SIGNALS AND NOT 500FT BEFORE, NOR 1 FOOT BEFORE! FFS IT'S 100FT AND BEFORE YOU BRAKE OR 5 SECONDS BEFORE YOU SWITCH LANES AND MY GODS LEARN HOW TO FUCKING MERGE!!

Over 500 of y'all have followed @chrisrabb.com since he posted this video. Can we put him over 1000 followers tonight? Dude's the kind of Democrat we've all been saying we want. Give him a follow and support him in this primary, friends!

fucking awful. The kind of talent that alternative comics and only alternative comics could give a voice to. We're poorer for his loss.

As the president brings the media to heel through coercion and multibillion-dollar lawsuits, we're doubling down on fearless reporting. Through September 30, donations will be matched dollar-for-dollar. That means TWICE the impact to power a non-profit, reader-supported newsroom.

Friendly reminder to keep up with your state/local elections! Those are just as important as national ones, because those laws will affect you faster and more significantly than others. Project 2025/MAGA aims to give a lot of power back to the states, so that’s where you should also be focused! 🙂

For Americans saying “What do we do now?” Part 1: Hurt the economy. Stop buying new, esp. from name brands + chain stores. Avoid FB Marketplace, Etsy, Amazon, etc. Buy used or buy indie-made whenever possible. Buy direct. Do local swaps + trades with neighbors, friends, family.

Transphobia harms everyone and leads to exclusion. Standing up for trans people helps everyone and builds inclusive communities. Every single time:

The new TikTok US entity would be controlled by a consortium of Silver Lake, Andreessen-Horowitz, and Oracle. 80% US, 20% China ownership. One board member appointed by the US government. Existing users would be expected to shift to a new app (lol). Would not be surprised if this nukes usership.

Charlie Kirk was just shot in the neck during a speaking engagement at Utah Valley University. This is will be widely covered by media across the political spectrum. Video clips of this are HORRIFIC and GRAPHIC. Avoid any video clips about this if you can. apnews.com/live/utah-va...

They erased the new Banksy mural in London. But the stain remains.

Penn & Teller covered how vaccines don't cause autism 15 years ago on the show Bullshit! which aired on Showtime. The illegitimacy of Andrew Wakefield and vaccine disinformation has been widely debunked and discredited over and over again with creative analogies and visuals, no less.

Please help Omar and his family however you can. They desperately need a tent

Authoritarians thrive on your silence — be loud — for America.

Thousands of protesters marched in Chicago on Saturday against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and President Donald Trump’s plan to send National Guard troops and immigration agents to the city.

NEW: Mercenary spyware is coming to the US. ICE just quietly unsuspended their contract with spyware maker #Paragon. Remember them? Caught earlier this year being used to hack Italian journalists. This is bad, let's talk about how we got here 1/ jackpoulson.substack.com/p/exclusive-...

For any USAmerican being targeted by the powers that be and who needs this resource—please share this widely so the folks who need it most see it: www.helpmeleave.us

one very real, concrete way to help feed Gaza right now is through donating to World Central Kitchen

Friends outside the US, please, PLEASE start contacting your government officials regularly to ask if they will be offering asylum/refugee status or special immigration programs for anyone coming from the US who is being targeted by the US government.

Friends in the US, we must quickly move to protect more people—trans folks and their families, healthcare providers, immigrants, anyone the regime might target.

Solid advice. Friends, message me if you’d like to stay connected elsewhere online or offline.

I strongly suspect it's not IF, it's WHEN Trump shuts down this site. Establish contact NOW with folks LOCALLY who are organizing against fascism, friends. And set up on other social media sites. (Yes, Mastodon kind of sucks, but it's the one that's least likely to be killed by fascists.)

Let’s be clear: the National Guard troops, federal law enforcement, and D.C. police cannot violate the Constitution or the D.C. Home Rule Act. Understanding your rights can help you make the best decision for yourself if approached by law enforcement.
