reminder that this directive functionally massively discriminates against Black men and should be understood as part of an ongoing campaign to resegregate the military www.military.com/daily-news/2...

Good morning. The government is shut down because Trump wants to act like a king and steal from you. Democrats have no obligation to support a budget that funds the destruction of our democracy - and DOUBLES health premiums to fund a tax cut for billionaires.

The revolution won’t be televised but the treason sure is

the president of the united states wants to use the american military to kill american citizens on american soil. that's the whole story!

Assata Shakur has "died in Havana, Cuba, as a result of health conditions and her advanced age." She was 78.

Apple has pulled The Savant, its series starring Jessica Chastain’s about hunting down white supremacist cells across America, from its immediate release schedule.

“This was about money. This has nothing to do with principles.” @profgalloway.com says that the economic repercussions of suspending Jimmy Kimmel forced Disney to grow a pair. Watch the latest episode of Pivot on YouTube, or listen wherever you get your podcasts.

Happy birthday @eladn.bsky.social Thank you for being a freedom fighter. Shana Tova!

Shaun King backing up Tucker Carlson that Jews killed Jesus. It is important to state this bluntly (I should actually write a piece about it): Antisemitism is close to getting mainstream. One thing preventing it on the right is Trump's support of Israel, but Carlson and others are pushing it.

I saw that an acquaintance on FedBook has personally gotten over 55 people to cancel their Disney subscriptions. This is a homebound person and she found her lane and is absolutely kicking ass at the moment. People are doing things.

They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.

STEWART: “Comedy doesn’t change the world, but it’s a bellwether— we’re the banana peel in the coal mine… authoritarians are the threat to comedy, music, art, thought… progress.” Nailed it.

The remarks weren’t “about Charlie Kirk,” they were about how this administration is using Kirk’s death as an excuse to shut down critics … and they responded by proving him completely correct.

It’s happening. The takedown of Jimmy Kimmel is likely the start of a campaign to use the murder of Charlie Kirk as a pretext to use the power of the White House to wipe out Trump’s critics and his political opponents. But we aren’t powerless. We can mobilize and organize. Now.

It should be way bigger news that Trump effectively killed any attempt by foreign countries to build new factories in the United States with this idiotic ICE move. Just incalculable long term damage. Trump just killed his "build America" push www.wsj.com/world/asia/c...

These are calls for mass political violence, against all Democrats. They openly call for the bombing of "Democrat" cities and for the jailing or killing of Democratic politicians. They are from some of the most influential voices in right-wing politics. Will anyone say anything?

"On the last episode of his show before he was killed," Kirk told "his audience, falsely, that “one in 22 Black men will be a murderer in their lifetime” and that “by age of 23, half of all Black males have been arrested and not enough of them have been arrested.”

It’s important to understand the extent of the digital bloodlust on X. They’re scraping data from social media sites—including Bsky—to create a searchable database targeting people for perceived thoughtcrimes related to CK. It has 40k names so far, and they’re sharing it with the federal government.

This may explain why there’s an aggressive response to people who merely post Kirk’s own words. It threatens the existence of the alternate Kirk - the motivational speaker that had been marketed to young kids and white Christian groups through selective quotation & clips.

An initiative aimed at boosting Democrats online offers influencers up to $8,000 a month to push the party line. All they have to do is keep it secret—and agree to restrictions on their content. www.wired.com/story/dark-m...

Harvard is systematically removing all of the support for LGBTQ students like the craven cowards they are. www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

It is absolutely ridiculous that Adrienne Villa's death has basically gone unreported in local & national media An anti-ICE protester being held on $1.3 million bail found dead in a courtroom jail cell & crickets from media. Should make you question why they want this kept quiet!

Absolutely incredible video of a woman standing up to ICE. This is resistance 1/2

Justice Jackson is basically reporting live from inside a garbage fire www.ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/nih-c...

A Black Lives Matter activist shares that the FBI will be sending more agents there than anywhere else in the country. Very clear this is a message that the fight for liberation is being targeted specifically where people have been standing up. HT @farrahfazal.bsky.social

One of the panels at Socialism 2025 featured a long-time brilliant organizer and comrade Paula Rojas who said at one point: "Some of us in this room will be imprisoned or killed in the next few years." It was a room full of activists and organizers & it seemed to quiet the room.

Fascism is here. We are not “getting closer” or “in danger of.” This matters because it frames our discussion: We aren’t trying to prevent it, we’re trying to defeat it. It’s not taking over our institutions, it’s taken them over. Otherwise, we’re always behind, fighting a past we’ve already lost.

Happening now: protesters in Chicago are interrupting a hiring fair at the Congress Hotel, where U.S. Customs and Border protection is recruiting today. Banner reads, "stop kidnapping our neighbors!" It's quite the scene in here, and the DHS table has been blocked for several minutes already.

A legal permanent resident researching cures for Lyme disease has been detained by immigration officials for over a week. He has reportedly been denied access to an attorney and his family has not been given a reason for his detention. We cannot become immune to this cruelty.

A spokesperson for the Freedom Flotilla Coalition tells me: “Chris Smalls is still in Givon Prison and despite repeated requests to meet with the U.S. Embassy has been ignored by his country after being abducted by the IOF in international waters.”

Reposting Adeel Manji’s open letter to Pres. Biden warning about the unwarranted, bigoted, smear campaign that derailed his confirmation to a seat on the 3rd Cir Court of Appeals. Emil Bove was confirmed tonight to the seat left open by Manji’s aborted confirmation. static01.nyt.com/newsgraphics...

Even if Hamas is in hospitals, you don't bomb hospitals. Even if Hamas steals aid, you don't stop or slow aid. Even if Hamas is evil, you don't punish Gazans. Even if October 7th was the worst moment for Jews since the Holocaust, you don't commit a genocide.

“I no longer have the strength to work for the media. My body is thin and I can’t work anymore.” The last journalists remaining in Gaza are near death from forced starvation. There is enough food at the border to feed the entire population for 3 months. This is genocide.

Concentration camp

A Nazi owns Twitter, right wing billionaires own the Wall Street Journal and the LA Times, and CBS is run by a right wing nepo baby who just fired one of the network’s biggest stars for criticizing Donald Trump. Here’s why America has a left-wing media bias problem.

Greetings! I’m back in Huntington Park. Earlier, federal agents arrived for the third time. Despite saying they had a warrant, residents say, they never produced one. When leaving, one vehicle’s tires was destroyed. The Mayor of Huntington Park spoke with residents and gave a brief speech.

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

A U.S. surgeon trying to have a “peer to peer” consultation with a doctor at a health insurance company who is hiding his identity as her patient gets denied coverage. And it gets worse from there. You have to see it to believe it. (1/2)

CBS. PBS. ABC. The fall is happening everywhere. This is why our voices and our work on social media matter so much, and why you should not listen to those who downplay its power. With institutions falling, the grassroots needs to stand up and take over at a rapid pace. In media and beyond.

A State Department employee shared with PBS News an image from inside the department. The image includes a piece of paper taped to a mirror with the words, "Colleagues, if you remain: RESIST FASCISM. Remember the oath you vowed to uphold."

Look at it. This is where we are now and this will become a routine thing to see until it escalates and the gas is replaced by bullets. Do not turn away from this. Look at it. Let it sear into your memory as a warning and a promise that state power will only grow more brutal until we stop it.

next time you're in a national park, take some photos of the signage and upload it to help these archivists www.404media.co/save-our-sig...

I wrote about how the Everglades experiment fits into the history of concentration camps in the US and abroad, and how it will connect a domestic network of camps to an international one. We’re watching the imposition of a global concentration camp network.

Absolutely incredible turnout for Budapest Pride! So proud of all the organizers, including some old friends, who estimate hundreds of thousands— major embarrassment to Orban

I DESPERATELY need these fucking people to understand that this relentless “you’re hurting the Jews” rhetoric lobbed at people who aren’t doing that and using “you’re hurting the Jews” as a catch all for any opinion you disagree with IS ACTUALLY WHAT IS HURTING THE JEWS

There is a direct line between the impunity with which Trump and MAGA politicians tell lies about immigrants’ supposed criminality and the way these establishment Democrats feel complete license to smear a Muslim politician with false allegations and insinuations about antisemitism

🚨 ICE disappeared a woman on Wednesday night. She was grabbed by men in plainclothes and taken to an unidentified location. ICE is refusing to say where she is being held. It’s 72 hours later and not even a dedicated team of lawyers can find her. This is WRONG. We can’t let this be the new norm.

Zohran Mamdani is saying things like “poverty is a policy choice and politicians have a duty to their constituents to make their lives affordable” and it is making a lot of politicians very very scared that they may actually have to start doing some actual service in their public service jobs.
