“That’s all anybody can do right now. Live. Hold out. Survive. I don’t know whether good times are coming back again. But I know that won’t matter if we don’t survive these times.” ― Octavia E. Butler, Parable of the Sower

I hope white people have plans on what they'll do when the Democrats retake power and do NOTHING about Trump, his administration, or all the people working for ICE

Israel killed an average of at least 47 girls and women per day in Gaza. A new analysis published by the United Nations shows that more than 38,000 girls and women were killed in between October 2023 and December 2025.

In case you haven't noticed, Israel is occupying Lebanese territory with no signs of leaving. The Gazafication of southern Lebanon? "Israel army says it established 'Yellow Line' in Lebanon, as in Gaza." www.lemonde.fr/en/internati...

What I can say with a full throat, however, is that “AI” is a rhetorical, political tool and a set of ideologies built on specious claims. The technologies are almost incidental to those things, and are built to try to fulfill those claims, not the other way around.

I’m watching the new essential film, Ghosts in the Machine, featuring many esteemed colleagues of mine, and noting how many of the great men scientists making claims about the ability for machines to mimic humanity also denied the humanity of women in myriad ways.

Denton County and its economy are built around the University of North Texas. Denton County also went 56/43 for Trump in 2024. That's because most voters there wanted to get rid of immigrants. Now, as international students disappear, the university is collapsing. They burned down their own house.

In their wildest fantasies about Hunter Biden, Republicans didn't come up with anything half as corrupt as what Kushner is doing in front of our eyes every day. He's handling US foreign policy at the exact same time that he's taking billions from the Saudi dictator.

Gonna hold on to this croissant metaphor for the rest of my creative life

Father of six, grabbed in front of his crying children as he was about to take them to school.

hyper-individualism is really killing people.

If US democracy was functional, this would have led to an immediate impeachment and removal from office.

imagine you’re on a spaceship and then some random guy says that all the water and power on board should be used to generate fake sentences and ugly pics

Blue whales are the largest animals ever known to have lived on Earth. These magnificent marine mammals rule the ocean and are upwards of 200 tons. So this says it all 🤣🤣 #SheShed

I'll continue banging the drums about the fact that capitalism has deskilled us in detrimental ways. We need to skill up re: many things like conflict resolution, reproductive health, first aid, etc etc etc

We're ruled by apocalypse fans of varied faiths who are all subservient to Israel and declare it openly. I wrote this in 2021 and they've gotten more blatant since: bsky.app/profile/sara...

In his acceptance speech for award for best screenplay, Ryan Coogler said “when you look at a blank page, think of who you love” and I dunno, that really moved me so I wrote it down and sat it on my desk to look at while I work

everyone loved the tech industry's free music and friendship machines of 20-30 years ago. it's unclear what could be causing people to feel the opposite about the industry's new racism and insanity machine

Just realized it was Akinola Davies Jr., who is Black, who said "Free Palestine" at the BAFTAs. So, the BBC will censor a Black man for saying something that is not violent, while also refusing to censor something that is quite violent to Black men.

I fear that men are about to do what men do. They are about to characterize any sober thinking about power as non-technical and therefore unserious. We have seen this pattern over and over again in tech criticism. Women and people of color repeatedly lead on understanding tech changes.

Your right-wing coworkers and family are going to feel obligated to pretend that watching the Kid Rock thing instead was worth it. The ensuing emotional turmoil is an organizing opportunity

Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

So… @support.bsky.team is it a feature or a bug that “notifications” don’t really work here? I’ll get the little number, then when I check…it’s the same 3 people for a week. Makes me not come in here. 🤷‍♀️

This is a really incredible episode of @revealnews.org, in part bc reporters @artiscuriskis.bsky.social and Nate Halverson are MN natives. Esp love the postal carrier perspective on what has happened to people on his route revealnews.org/podcast/minn...

From the same newspaper that published “did feminism fuck up the work place?”, we now have “did feminism fuck up sex?” The NYT really is desperate to cater to conservative audiences and it’s just getting more obvious and embarrassing.

Firing or impeaching Kristi Noem is just rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic. Dissolve DHS and create paths to citizenship for all immigrants.

This article is fantastic AND those of us who’ve been organizing since early December are oh-so-very tired. Time for the second wave of folks to jump in and take on more so we can rest a bit. If you have capacity, plug in with whatever’s happening in your neighborhood.

I have incarcerated comrades & loved ones who are enduring the daily torture of US prisons. They also continue to make art. They often don't have the proper supplies and yet they make it knowing that it will never make it out to anyone else. But they continue to make art nonetheless. Keep making art

Renee Good's widow shared this statement with us today. It's absolutely heart-wrenching. 💔

Europe Is not letting pedophiles skate by the accusations They are being held accountable American gov. Would like to bury the whole trove of information Redacting their names not victims is their revenge

1. It was not an accident. 2. It was not a staffer. 3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia. 4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares. 5. His base agrees with him. 6. He will do it again. 7. No one in power will hold him accountable.
