Corey O'Connor having to get back up on the milk crate he stood on for that very cocky "we are ready for the snow" press conference to admit that the city plow fleet was actually not ready is pretty funny.

❄️ We are SNOWED IN here in #Pittsburgh.... And honestly? There's something uniquely freeing about it. Because big snow means: ✔️ Less cars. ✔️ People reclaiming streets for activities. ✔️ Feeling closer to our neighbors. ✔️ Getting a new perspective.

Resisting the might-makes-right order, in solidarity with the peoples of Palestine, Venezuela, Cuba and Greenland. Boycott, divest from, or exclude from contracts these complicit US companies.

There are people trying to stop others from using whistles, and next they'll say it's ableism. As your disability advocate friend, I will be the first with serious sensory sensitivity to say that I would rather be in pain than someone get abducted, or shot. Block/mute this argument, it's an op.

I been chilling with the Augur of Dunlain every Fredas afternoon for the last month or so. There aren’t many games to play without hands and he’s infuriatingly good at trivia however he loves it when I toss empty mead bottles into his cosmic maw, he says it tickles

not productive: "here's all the reasons you should be understanding about why I was wrong." productive: "I was wrong. you were right. how can I help now?" and then STOP trying to get people to stop being mad at you. they're going to be mad a while. that's okay. just eat it and try to do better.

“Resign, bitch” I think with all my psychic powers at fetterman and mccormack

those who predicted authoritarianism were both dismissed, & deeply misunderstood, by the media my latest for @newrepublic.com newrepublic.com/article/2042...

i think a lot of libs and progressives don't really realize that a lot of conservative gun owners did see this and were like shit man this is exactly why i have a gun, it's because of what ice did to that guy, it could have been me and that's fucked up

y'all, Black folks have been telling you to stop using "rest in power" for Renee Good and Alex Pretti and I'm gonna reiterate: stop using "rest in power". that ones not for us. there are plenty of ways for us to honor Good and Pretti, without co-opting a phrase made and meant for Black folks.

A flaccid and milquetoast response from the guy who, in 2015, was so pleased with ICE that he gave a major award to the director at the time. I'm so surprised. 😒 www.washingtonpost.com/news/powerpo...

Moist Critikal’s (a gun owner himself) video breaking it down and shredding the administration is up to 2.3M views in 15 hours. Charlie’s generally apolitical and his audience contains a lot of young men, many of whom are disconnected from politics. The truth is spreading

ALT: Bold white text on a black background. It reads, "If you think empathy is a sin, you are probably a horrendously evil person."

BA in German Studies here. This is true to an extent. There was White Rose and plenty of resistance in occupied territories, but in Germany proper they were always very willing to use violence against dissidents and started up the concentration camps largely as a way to kneecap their opposition.

I'm not that well-informed, but all reliable sources I'm finding are saying mostly the same thing: While some resistance groups and plots were formed, community resistance by everyday Germans during the Nazi regime seems to have been exceedingly rare. Can someone please verify or refute this?

Every single artist that posts on BlueSky should have this saved to their computer because so many of you are posting character torsos all day. (created by @/whey.party)

This isn't satire. This is just the news.

I really hope white leftists aren't so arrogant with white supremacy that they think some Europeans invented leftism. The darker people of the globe were practicing these ways, & Europe's capitalism came along & fucked it up for everybody.

DHS has shot 12 people during immigration enforcement operations since September:

getting the feeling we made a mistake installing a philosopher-king. he locks himself in his tower and only comes out to say shit like, “I cannot disprove the idea that I am but a brain in a jar?” wow holy shit man, that’s crazy. did you have any ideas about the fucking grain shortage

The regime and many of its supporters are surprised to see so many people in America define "Us" as "my neighbors, my city, my state, my country," rather than as "my race and gender." And they seem to have real trouble processing the idea of taking risks to help others and stand on principle.

Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.

If you don't think you can run a campaign on "Abolish ICE," you shouldn't be running for any office.

If you're aware of the fact that using a delivery app is going to assign a random dude who is likely going to be targeted by ICE as he does his job to deliver a burrito to you, fucking don't. Get in your car and drive to Chipotle. Or just cook for yourself for Christ's sake. Don't endanger people.

This. Alex Pretti could've been a raging piece of shit and I still wouldn't want to see some federal LARPer executing him on the street.

With a catastrophic ice storm about to hit the majority of the southern Unites States, here's some tips on staying warm, courtesy of our community moderator, Neptune. Keep yourselves safe out there.

Face reveal; wrong answers only

It breaks my heart that this man was also recently murdered by an off duty ice thug and has gotten barely a fraction of the attention

The people who spent years defending and even lionizing Kyle Rittenhouse and Ashli Babbitt now want us to believe that an unarmed mother in her car and a disarmed nurse were domestic terrorists who deserved to be murdered by law enforcement.

I keep thinking “my god the people they’ve killed seem like exceptionally good folks” and I think the lesson there is that they’re not exceptional, but that wonderful people abound and that a baseline distrust in humanity is a shitty conservative trope that privileges power over collective strength

There Is No Such Thing As Failure*

Listen to your disabled neighbors here: Dinner don't gotta be fancy, folks. Peanut butter, crackers, cheese, nuts, canned soup... get some reasonably healthy-ish calories in ya if you can. But if you can't manage "healthy-ish" then any calories will do.

“Get it all on record now — get the films — get the witnesses — because somewhere down the road of history some bastard will get up and say that this never happened.” Dwight D. Eisenhower, after visiting liberated concentration camps in April 1945

Solidarity will break them.

Politicize the fuck out of my death. Build a trebuchet and launch my body at the capitol building, or leave it on the front steps and don't let anybody move it but decay

With Donald Trump’s actions in Greenland, Minneapolis, and Venezuela, a foreign enemy could not invent a better chain of events to wreck the standing of the United States.

share this! Do it now!

for years us white folks have been willing to turn a blind eye as people of color were shot dead in the streets by cops for any reason or no reason. our whiteness would protect us. what we are finally now seeing is that whiteness is revocable. we must learn to tolerate this brutality for NO ONE.

Further context: I have been organizing for 15+ years. I've worked with unions, reformist orgs, anarchists, and revolutionary parties. I have been tear gassed by cops while cracking the skull of a Nazi. And without a doubt yesterday was the strongest step toward revolutionary change. We can do this

Tom McGovern for anyone wondering, the craftsman of creative chords, the bard of bangers. I also recommend "What the fuck is happening here"

my gut tells me american politics are about to shift radically within the next few days, as this rubicon crossing event occurs with both sides heading toward snowstorm-induced isolation and online algorithms

lmao just kidding, bots can't attain sentience
