i know that this is an unpopular take, but everyone starting their own newsletter as a revenue stream is not a sustainable model for writing and reporting or for people who love and want to pay for media.

Once again: Focusing on their lack of training is a mistake. With "better training," their violence would simply cost more, and they would still kill whoever they wanted, but make it look more professional — to make people more comfortable, the way many of you are at ease with local police violence.

Incapable of understanding how "abolish ICE" was silly but arresting 5 year olds is public policy

everything of this empire actually has to go for the peoples and the earth and the birds to live, and the going is not going to happen by appealing to its keepers

if mary and joseph set off to bethlehem today they'd cross 15 israeli checkpoints and a 30ft wall

this story is actually wilder than the headline or pulled quote suggests. it ends with his wife saying that she generally supports the detention and deportation of immigrants--as long as they are criminals. but not criminal like her husband.

Hey look, Israel broke the cease-fire, twice, in two different ways, within 24 hours - again.

as always i encourage u all not to post things that may attract the attention of an authoritarian secret police with unlimited power to surveil american citizens at this time

Zohran is the Gujarati diaspora nepo baby icon we all need

I think what I’m most offended by is that Democrats and pundits spent the last 135 month and days arguing about whether or not trans and POC People were divisive And still are Meanwhile the unhinged racists are sta Tying WWIII and shooting protesters and democratic legislators

A official homeland security communique links to THE NEW YORK POST reporting on nonprofit organizations receiving funding to help immigrants with legal cases

Unbuild Walls by Silky Shah, for anyone who wants to see concretely how Democrats are literally responsible for so much of the bad shit happening right now

I truly believe that we should all fly our sexual freak flags as we wish—as long as everyone is consenting, etc.—but “Zionist in the sheets” means someone is not consenting

I would love for someone to please explain to me journalism’s obsession with past perfect tense

We all make mistakes organizing, it’s normal. But if you find yourself systemically dismissing student activism as silly or naive, and believing you know better, then it’s time to retire. You’ve lost the plot.

Do genocide next

“States must act now to end the violence or bear witness to the annihilation of the Palestinian population in Gaza – an outcome with irreversible consequences for our shared humanity”

May it be so

It’s very wild to me how much using Wikipedia was demonized as “not a legitimate source” relative to how much generative AI has been celebrated

On ethnofascism and the role of liberal normalization: “Whereas the political and social foundation of Hindutva had been laid by Hindu nationalists, it was the Congress party who had helped normalize the ideology.” - Azad Essa, Hostile Homelands: The New Alliance Between India and Israel (2023)

It's been three months + 1 day since Elon Musk did a Nazi salute, twice, at the inauguration. If you're still focused on pro-Palestine protestors as a threat to American Jews, then you don't really care about us. If you're still saying that cancel culture by the left is a thing, you're full of it.

In Gaza, thousands of children have become malnourished, and most people are barely eating one meal a day as stocks dwindle, the United Nations says. religionnews.com/2025/04/18/t...

Yes, this is exactly why I have been living on a completely different planet than everyone I love for countless years and the difference continues to exacerbate

You should care about Palestinians because they are people but you should also care about them because what they are doing to them is what Western governments are seeing if they can do to all of us in the future

ONE HUNDRED PERCENT “Biden’s slander of pro-Palestinian activists helped splinter the Democratic coalition during the 2024 election, giving Trump a potent wedge issue.” ONE HUNDRED PERCENT CORRECT Don’t like it? Complain to your mama www.thenation.com/article/soci...

palestinian accounts on here this is a good thread to help you fundraise effectively and avoid a spam label!! please please read this

sorry to report that many in the university are much more comfortable recording and tracking abductions and deportations that they are willing to get in the way to stop them

I signed up for this and am very excited!

“Note 57: They acknowledged that the lives of people (not them) were at stake. And yet they equivocated. They half spoke, they unspoken, they decided not to speak…this note repeats into our present.” - Ordinary Notes, Christina Sharpe (2023)

Remember yesterday when people were excited about c*ry b**ker?

The long tail of obscuring how much of our technological “innovation” was public research gifted to the private sector as a way of pretending the profit motive drives progress as opposed to socialist forms.

THIIIIIIIIIIIIISSSSS

I just hope the lesson people learn from this is not “stan democrats more,” all but a few of them who do anything now **still** enabled a genocide AND the crackdown on student protests that are getting kids abducted right now

It has long been legal to incarcerate and kill immigrants in this country without due process. It’s long been a bipartisan effort, that has just grown and grown. Yes prisons in El Salvador, and snatching people off the streets is a harrowing departure. But this didn’t come from nowhere.

Abolish ICE is not an absurdity statement. ICE was created in 2003 as a response to 9/11 - we do not need it. We already established that following orders isn't an excuse.

One thing I will say as a person who has stopped attending large protests is that at least Tesla Takedown people have a *better* understanding of what it means to plan an action with specific targets and demands

I simply cannot imagine being on a university campus right now. It already was impossible to be unsupported and forced to continue working in 2016-2017, again in 2020-2021. Now, to be told to continue with “your work” and during a genocide, and then to watch your colleagues be detained by ICE???

Can we just put on the table that Columbia doesn’t WANT to resist , that it’s using Trump as an excuse to harm departments it always wanted to harm ?

‘No Way to Please Everyone’ Says Only University Where Students Are Regularly Kidnapped

I just feel the need to say that every inane observation I make on this website is situated against the absolute horror we live in right now. i can’t help it but I continue to think about the Venn diagram of my period and beet pee / poop and compulsively need to tell you about it.

The writing on the wall that free speech on Palestine would eventually become an immigrant rights issue

seeing vapers mobilize at the state capitol to mobilize against a Big Vape bill with posters that read “I Vape, I Vote” is really the uncanny valley of what people mean when they say “fight for your passion”

BREAKING: Israel has resumed bombing Gaza, at least 30 Palestinians have been killed in Israel’s attacks.

I worry about the normalization of cruelty, and not just among Nazis.
