Fascinated how basically in every country now rightwingers complain about "woke," using the english word or similar (e.g. "le wokisme"). When you think about it as a specifically anti-African American reactionary movement, you could say facebook's big accomplishment is globalizing the confederacy

But again: don’t expect collapse, but rather an impoverished economy. Think affordability is bad? Just wait until interest rates climb up, bc the world is no longer as inclined to park their money here…

Defund the police cost dems so badly in 2020 they won congress and the presidency “Yeah but they would have won by more”

I think people underestimate how big this is. Like a city-wide strike is not something that has happened in the US for nearly 100 years

Like @brooklynmarie.bsky.social says: Borders keep you in

I grew up hearing stories from my father about how folks abducted by Franco’s secret police would routinely “escape” to the roof of police HQ and “commit suicide.” The obviousness of the lie was itself an intimidation tactic.

In Trump's first term, you saw people just completely not able to notice that the US already had a tradition of banning entire groups of people, and nationalities, from immigrating. A precedent going back to 1882. 135 years before Trump's first term. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chinese...

Americans, seeing fascism, will call it literally anything else: communism, anarchism, Maoism, Stalinism, etc. Like their eyes just glaze right past it, it doesn't process. And even if they do actually notice the fascism, they don't notice its basis in centuries of domestic homegrown tradition.

Gary Larson: In my cartoon I invented Cow Tools as a cautionary tale Cows: At long last, we have created the Cow Tools from classic newspaper comic Cow Tools

When I told her that I was worried she told me to remember: that this too shall pass, but after this many years of this ongoing pandemic I could not stop myself from replying with: but what if it doesn’t?

My friend, the climatologist, told me this year is off to a bad start. My friend, the epidemiologist, told me this year is off to a bad start. My friend, the historian, told me this year is just getting started.

My friend who keeps getting sick says he knows that he should wear a mask and take precautions but he says that doing so is just too inconvenient, and I cannot imagine a better epitaph for humanity than: we could have saved ourselves but doing so was just too inconvenient.

i think this would print ok

here u go i think this could work! static1.squarespace.com/static/5681b...

jack asked if i would sketch up a poster to tell people in nearby neighborhoods about the partnership between flock and ring, and this is what i came up with. it can be printed on an 8.5x11 sheet of paper.

All reposts and no posts makes Becky a dull follow, so here's the pot of tomato sauce I cooked down from my farm share tomatoes I froze last summer. Not enough to bother canning after they went through the food mill, so freezing again but far more compactly.

Yeah, body cameras aren't going to inhibit the goons. Jonathan Ross was literally filming with one hand as he executed an innocent civilian with the other. All body cams will do is free their other hand up for, what, a second gun?

The solidarity between our communities in Minneapolis has never been stronger. You can help by replacing your trips at Target and do your shopping at immigrant owned businesses on our cultural corridors instead. @jchavezmpls.bsky.social @kayforparks.bsky.social

I haven't seen the dunks but I will say that LOCAL CONDITIONS have to determine TACTICS. Folks, whistles are just a tactic and tactics vary according to context. Why waste time on this? If you've organized for 10 minutes, you know this is true. Keep it moving.

It really is a great story, and one I think about when I'm considering how to build community or how to keep my family and community afloat in the coming collapse.

This is the fucking limit. I had no idea that Amazon drivers AREN'T ALLOWED TO SING wat CRUSH this monopoly wtf my levels were already redlining www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

Being required to present proof of citizenship to someone not required to present proof they're actually law enforcement is one hell of a dichotomy

Disabled people don’t survive without community care. So for us to be considered worth surviving, that’s building a world where we all survive by supporting each other.

This is a good lesson, no matter how you come to learn it

More people should know about the day 90% of Icelandic women went on strike, forcing real political change towards gender equality: www.bbc.com/news/magazin...

I wrote this poem as an homage to Baldwin and to hear it being sung across the world or read in protests has been my own guiding light of hope.

Incredibly emotional to hear my poem has been turned into a song of resistance and is being sung in Minneapolis right now. Please do not give up.

1500 regular Army troops Trump is reading to invade Minneapolis are the 11th Airborne "Artic Angels" based in Alaska. They are trained for cold weather combat. They are an offensive weapon against our enemies, urban warfare being one their specialties. US city as training for future attacks

“I think more than 350 of those cameras have gone out and are already deployed in the community now,” he said... www.404media.co/how-one-guy-...

The rule is that if my mutual posts about their niche hobby that I know nothing about, I must like the post to let them know I encourage the enrichment that’s been put in their enclosure

Sweet fucking baby Cthulhu that is .... tetanus is everywhere in the fucking dirt AND is horrible and deadly, just like diptheria and pertussis. The endgame here is for most people to DIE.

sheesh, the only thing worse than getting kicked out of the polycule is finding out via jira ticket 😣

"Many of the deals OpenAI has struck — with chipmakers, cloud computing companies and others — are strangely circular. OpenAI receives billions from tech companies before sending those billions back to the same companies to pay for computing power and other services." www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

I think "Recognizing Satire" should join Freshman Composition as a universal course requirement for graduation.

Marriage equality does not exist for everyone until disabled people can marry without losing their benefits.

It's a great cosmic joke that neurodivergence both runs in families and gets diagnosed based on parent reports. I was diagnosed at 30 because a man who has eaten potatoes every day for 57 years and a woman who collects loose buttons decided I was a perfectly normal child.

If your government thinks the Pope “doesn’t know what he’s talking about” when he defends migrants’ dignity, the world should see the warning sign. The US is no longer leading on human rights. It’s suppressing them.

Reposting because, and I say this with love, some of you are going to see this and go “oh shit, I need to check my bottle” and then immediately forget about it so if this could affect you, go check right now before you even scroll to the next post, I mean it.

reminder to all my trans friends that a man who campaigned with this much support and love for us just destroyed the most machine politician to ever exist in spite of all odds. turns out vocally caring about us is a winning strategy!!

this is a reminder that we dont have to settle for newsom in 2028

GOPs this election night, looking at their losses:

*taps sign*

Trump declares that Republicans have lost the shutdown. Absolutely zero reason for Dems to cave at this point

i hope this election cycle empowers everyone the next time a centrist liberal says to drop pro-trans and pro-immigrant rhetoric to enthusiastically tell them to shut the fuck up
