but as part of a mosaic or tapestry of other artists & workers, thinkers, listeners, spectators responding (or not responding) to material reality & suffering, the well-meaning angst of “how can I make art in these conditions” immediately falls to the wayside.

sorry. this will be kind of a rant-y mean thread but the genre of autobio comic that is just: “how can I even think of making my silly art when fascism is a thing and people are being killed right now and I’m so tired”. I hate it so much

Just 9 hours left. A single mom & her kids are facing eviction, and their only other option is NOT an option—going back to a tent in the cold. Refuse this. Refuse this! Anything helps, especially clicking "monthly" (be the first!). Then act. 358/815 chuffed.org/project/savi...

Most people who haven't experienced (or studied) it don't know how expensive being poor is during peace. Or being a survivor of a genocide when 80 % of all buildings are damaged or destroyed and 92 % of housing. And the genocidaires block caravans, mobile homes and tents. bsky.app/profile/divy...

I am Aboud, a child from Gaza, 13 years old I have autism & special needs, and I suffer from epilepsy I need medicine😭 I need medicine😭 I need food😭 My family urgently needs a tent to live in I desperately need your donation🤲 We need $150. Any donation will be a blessing chuffed.org/project/1580...

And I fucking hate the caveats especially "NO CRIMINAL RECORD." People who have criminal records ALSO deserve dignity. OK.

i once read "the rights you think criminals should have are the rights you think everyone should have because the state can criminalize anyone" and it changed how i think about everything

After ICE agents shot people in Minneapolis tonight, a crowd faced them down and eventually chased them away, despite federal mercenaries and police shooting a tremendous amount of tear gas. ICE agents abandoned vehicles in the area, containing IDs, paperwork, license plates, and operational plans.

"20 things you need to know about the protests in Iran." 1. Allegations of “mass casualties” among Iran protesters are not dependable. They come from a group called Center for Human Rights in Iran. The Center for Human Rights in Iran is NOT in Iran. It is in New York.

my new thing lately has been to pivot the conversation to how sports gambling is way more harmful to the intergrety of sports than the three openly trans atheletes who actually exist are

We must act before Palestinian hostages are executed in the world’s worst prisons by Adnan Hmidan

america suffers the same political problem every post ww2 wealthy society faces which is everyone is certain they have way too much to lose from revolting

Having trouble understanding base and superstructure and their interdependent relationship? I wrote a piece that explains in plain language the base-superstructure relationship and expounded on why liberal democracy will not change the world.

🚨🇵🇸 Breaking | Gaza The director of Al-Shifa Medical Complex says more than five children died yesterday due to breathing difficulties, while over 10 elderly people died as a result of severe cold, as freezing conditions and lack of shelter continue to claim lives amid the humanitarian catastrophe.

🚨🇵🇸 Breaking | UK Hunger strikes have entered a critical stage under continued UK government inaction. Heba Muraisi has reached day 71 of her hunger strike, while Kamran Ahmed is on day 64, with supporters warning both now face an imminent risk of death as their health rapidly deteriorates.

I hope we can refocus away from takes and towards what we can + must do. Six families and a camp of fifteen more are facing severe weather RIGHT NOW—most in tents, the rest in window-less rooms. Emergency healthcare, winter supplies, rent & more:

We aren't helpless. You can really help Mohamed, his siblings, & their parents. The rain is back and the cold is worsening, and they only have a tent, which isn’t shelter at all. Winter supplies + more. Give/find their link here.

It's weird watching men who suffer from toxic masculinity and other patriarchal ailments, loudly proclaim that they ARE NOT "emotional", cos they're "logical", and "being emotional is for women", and then totally can't keep their emotions in check cos their favourite sports teams won/lost a match.

🚨🇵🇸 Breaking | Northern Gaza Israeli occupation forces blow up residential homes in Jabalia, north of the Gaza Strip, in a clear breach of the ceasefire agreement.

Please don’t ever do this

“Israel” has murdered over 400 Palestinians and injured over 1,100 more since the October “ceasefire.”

Two-party brain-rot; Some of the people who tried to excuse Bidens genocidal behaviour in Gaza are a lot more vocally angry about Venezuela because they can use the attack to stick it to Trump. There is no hope for you people whatsoever

Two Palestinians were killed by Israeli gunfire in northern Gaza on Saturday, in a new violation of a ceasefire agreement, medical sources said. Read: www.middleeastmonitor.com/20260103-isr...

As illegal Israeli settlements seize more land and violent settler and army attacks escalate, Palestine's Christian community faces a quiet erasure

This campaign has received only one donation since it's been launched and that was 7 days ago. Please come through for this family since they desperately need our help. Even $5 helps in breaking the stagnation. chuffed.org/project/1579...

Growing up in Gaza, I didn't realize that the siege I was living under was unique or that others didn't face a constant threat of death. It was only after I left that I understood I had grown up in a concentration camp, and that it shaped my life mondoweiss.net/2025/12/i-di...

It's like how American blue maga genocidal democrats and liberals don't care that obama was actually responsible for murdering entire Black and Brown families in nonwestern countries, or how kamala harris is responsible for the genocide of Palestinians. None of that matters, cos liberal "diversity."

For some of you, it's still Christmas—this is a way to help numerous families in Palestine survive winter, health emergencies (like lupus and hepatitis), malnutrition...infancy! Not a metaphor! Every ounce helps, especially if you click "weekly": chuffed.org/project/hope...

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Abed. Abed is a dentist who managed a practice. It was destroyed as well as his home. He has been displaced 13 times along with his children Sabreen, 8, Salah, 7 and Ahmed, 5. Sabreen and Salah both have facial injuries that need treatment.

Too little of that happening nowadays

This is an illegal blockade. Calling it a “quarantine” doesn’t change the reality. The US regime is using hunger as a weapon of war to force regime change in Venezuela. Economic strangulation is warfare and civilians always pay the price. The US is a regime of terror.

Billionaires are surrounded by sycophants who do nothing but kiss their ass all day long, so when they get on social media and are forced to interact with normal people, they don't understand why everyone hates their fucking guts.

All we want for Christmas is an "opt out of Al" button on everything.

Kjempeeksempel på hva jeg mener fra Tonje Brenna. Klimakrisa er forsåvidt et moralspørsmål, men mest av alt er det et praktisk, eksistensielt spørsmål. Og grunnen til at folk ikke er med er at politikere har vært feige og unnvikende i mange år. Brenna VEIT dette. Men vil hun lede? Nei. Seff ikke.

“Israel approves 19 new Jewish settlements in occupied West Bank” This is when Starmer & “liberal leaders from all over the West “ assure us they are working to a “Two State Solution” This has always been b@llocks but they still think we believe them www.theguardian.com/world/2025/d...

Israeli Army Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir's statement that the “Yellow Line” dividing Gaza will be Israel's new border shows that Israel's plan in Gaza follows its history of redrawing its borders through ethnic cleansing and land grabs. mondoweiss.net/2025/12/isra... #Palestine #Israel
