If you're living somewhere outside the USA, one thing you can do is pressure your leaders to boycott World Cup and Olympic events here.

So which politician is calling for the dismantling of the probably illegal database that ice & this government is collecting biometric data of protesters?

Nothing happening in this moment is new…it’s just new to white folks whose solidarities have been fickle & disappear when the political climate is safe & favorable for their whiteness. Fascism strips away safety so folks are genuinely shocked bc what has long happened to us is now happening to them.

If it is fascism now it was fascism then but if you were wrong no need to pause to make a special effort to admit your error -- we don't have that much time now, please act right away, get organized, and then tell your followers what you are doing to stop fascism and what they too can do.

In the early 1930s the SA was roughing people up, creating chaos in neighborhoods, seeking to terrorize with the occasional killing. By the late 1930s it had been supplanted by the SS, which was much better trained.

Trust your eyes. Not the lies.

WIRED talks to a postal worker, a teacher, two US citizens detained by federal agents, and six more Minnesota residents about life in an occupied American city. www.wired.com/story/how-ic...

I am in the midst of assisting a family member return an employee back home after they were wrongfully detained and transported to another state, and now have no identifying documents with them. This expansion will mean more situations like this, and we need to have a safe transport network ready.

🧵In my expert opinion as a researcher of vehicle ramming attacks, what has been publicly described in the video evidence does not support the claim that Renee Nicole Good was attempting a deliberate ramming attack when she was shot in Minneapolis on January 7, 2026. 1/7

**content warning** 1- the “bystander” is Renee Nicole Good’s WIFE 2- she was filming the murderer, up close, as he was moving in front of her car right before shooting 3- that asshole didn’t offer any assistance, just told others to call 911 4- he then fled the scene before medics arrived

Add this to the list of horrific decisions. NCAR is a beacon on the hill above my neighborhood, and it is an essential part of our society, and ability to be informed. @colorado.gov we need to move to save NCAR.

A List of Things Said to Have Been Ruined by Women 🧵

Very excited to share our exhibition, ‘It Comes in Waves’ opens this Friday, Nov 7, happy hour from 5-7 pm, at The People’s Building, 9995 E Colfax in Aurora (just a couple blocks east of “official” Denver). We have limited public hours, but I am happy to schedule additional viewings.

This is a great resource in precarious times. Tried it for my city and it pulled up all the things I know about + more I didn’t. It finds food pantries, but also stuff like legal help and housing assistance. For those of us more fortunate, great way to find volunteer and donation opportunities.

BREAKING: Judges order the federal government to use contingency funds for SNAP food aid payments during the shutdown.

Just WOW

I cannot recommend this convo enough. Both enlightening about the policy that is enabling so many of our systems shittier, AND hopeful with actual steps toward making things better. Well worth the time. @adamconover.net podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/f...

This heartfelt and meaningful statement by Portland resident and author Cristina Breshears on another social media platform bears reposting here. I don't think the intent is to idealize Portland but to remind all of us what is important and why. (Posted here with permission.)

Soooo excited for this reboot, with a lovely new host. RR was a central part of my childhood.

Ta-Nehisi Coates on Charlie Kirk and the pundits and politicians sanitizing his legacy.

it's so funny to see America's health insurance companies be like "look. If there's one thing we love it's denying you care. but we ran the numbers - and we cannot BELIEVE we're saying this - and it's cheaper for us to just pay for the vaccines than deal with you going to the ER."

A country is real estate. A nation is a brand. Governance is deal-making. Diplomacy is franchising. Services yield profit. Everything is zero-sum. All relations are transactional. This admin is what happens when everyone majors in business or econ… or runs a car dealership.

I am sounding the alarm on the real crisis we face today. Donald Trump’s overreach is what our founders warned against – it is unprecedented, unwarranted, and un-American. There’s no emergency here that calls for military intervention.

There's a point Arendt makes in Personal Responsibility Under Dictatorship that people who convince themselves to cooperate with the regime in pursuit of "the lesser evil" end up conditioning themselves to accept evil, which the regime then ratchets up. A similar story with the press here.

Pyrocumulonimbus spotted on my flight into Denver. I believe it’s the Little Gerry’s fire in WY. @bianchiweather.bsky.social thought you might enjoy!

No money for Medicaid or SNAP or museums or schools or sidewalks or gun violence prevention or art or libraries. Always money for war.

The American people were lied to about Vietnam, with tragic consequences. The American people were lied to about Iraq, with tragic consequences. The American people are being lied to again today. We cannot allow history to repeat itself.

There’s no sense to be made, but maybe some cents? Well worth a read for one’s amusement.

Remember folks, women are too emotional to be president.

Put two malignant narcissists in a room and what else could possibly happen?

This Sunday, 1-3 pm MST. Multiple doctors and researchers will be discussing their work on Ling COVID. Register for Zoom here: zoom.us/meeting/regi... You can also attend in-person at Artworks in Loveland, CO. Masks are available thx to @covidsafecolorado.bsky.social

A new exhibition at the Artworks Center for Contemporary Art in Loveland, Colorado, showcases 24 pieces of visual art by 15 artists who live with or are impacted by #LongCOVID. bit.ly/3FClqB0

One important motivation that keeps me pushing our project documenting COVID forward is this: the ways the pandemic is misconstrued and manipulated and adds insult to the many, many injuries (and deaths) this virus has wreaked. Well worth your time to read this whole thread.

So grateful to be part of this beautiful exhibition, and hold space for folks living with LC and those caring for them to create, memorialize, and strengthen community. And huge s/o to @thesicktimes.bsky.social for their wonderful reporting and @covidsafecolorado.bsky.social for providing masks.

Common Ground is launching a Resistance Art Walk with local shops and restaurants to showcase Denver’s powerful protest art and community activism. Celebrate creativity, unity, and the fight for liberty. Join us and support local voices! #art #protest #denver

SCOOP: The Social Security Administration (SSA) will be shifting its public communication exclusively to X, sources tell WIRED. This comes as agency plans to cut its regional office workforce by roughly 90 percent.

Yeah I really need y'all to understand that the people currently in power fully know that you can weaponize the values & biases built into "AI" & other technologies, that they fully intend to do so, & that any carping about "bias against conservatives" is a deliberate inversion of their aims & deeds

You cannot make this shit up. Sharing this jaw-dropping story with a gift link -- give it a read.

Tonight an unbelievable **34,000 people** gathered for our Denver rally to take on billionaires and win our country back. This was the largest political gathering in Denver since Obama in 2008. Also bigger than the 2024 DNC. And the largest ever rally in Bernie’s career (and obviously, mine too).
