All of the ones who are doing the new harry potter show and audiobooks, even more so the ones acting like rowling just has a weird opinion in a “debate” when she is funding genocidal hate groups targeting trans people, and telling people to harass us in bathrooms. Also her writing sucks.

You know...I was only half serious when I said that, at some point before the midterms, Republicans would become largely pro-pedophilia.

You mean the company that's currently being struck by its workers and the company that's currently being boycotted because of its terrible DEI policy rollbacks? Why not just call this the Chocolate Mint Racist Scab Frostie?

Watching people who didn't know Alice use her and use her death for their own ends in a way that necessitates the erasure of her agency is really ... fucked.

too real lol

THIS IS BIG For non-academics who might not understand why: 1. Sen. Warren is still a Harvard professor so this is a call coming from inside the house 2. As a tenured law prof, Warren knows it is a VERY big deal from a labor standpoint to call on Harvard to ignore tenure. The bar for this is HIGH.

Five seconds ago we were about to go to war with nigeria for allegedly not protecting persecuted christians and now here comes DHS with OPERATION HO-HO-HEROD

Anti-DEI is just pro white supremacy.

I will be stepping back from my public commitments but I will continue being around teenagers all the time

Trump claims his ICE raids are going after the "worst of the worst". But his own DOJ admits that over 97% of immigrants detained in Chicago have no criminal record. It was always about cruelty, not public safety.

they're going after holocaust survivors

Every major US city is run by the cops. The fact that the public is fine with this is the only issue.

It is the norm.

🎩 Here have a little timeline cleanse. He’s such a proud little Wookiee dog! 🫡

This idea that #metoo was a temporary piece of insanity that happened because America was too woke... Fuck you. It was a temporary moment in time when people decided, for the first time, that 20 women were finally equal to one man.

A significant portion of the Democratic Party does not want to defeat Republicans.

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

This was the most full throated, empathetic and emphatic defense of trans people i've ever seen on national television. Bless you, Alan Cumming 😭😭😭

Remember the recent middle-of-the-night apartment building raid where children were dragged outside naked & zip-tied in the street while black & Latino residents were _sorted by race_ and piled into separate vans while their apartments were ransacked & robbed? That raid? So it resulted in 0 arrests.

I personally know 4 restaurant managers (2 are kitchen, 2 are general) here in Ashevile, and all of them have confirmed they will not be serving ICE at their restaurants and will trespass them if they refuse to elave We aren't a very big city, but we are quite protective of our neighbors

I’m still struggling with the fact that ICE “brown shirts” went to a taco shop and thought they would get served. F that!

I'm sure it's coincidental that most of the *anti-woke* people are also racist.

IMO the US needs a framework akin to the Green New Deal, but for the move to single-payer (New Deal for Health?) Single-payer will eliminate some 2M insurance-related jobs, but if we incorporate a major investment at NIH, we can put people to work improving healthcare instead of blocking it.

Just heard re: some ICE agents who raided a Chicago taqueria, then went back to the same taqueria for lunch the following week and got confused when the owner kicked them out, and I realized "jesus these doofuses really do believe we're all living in a video game where the NPCs have no memory"

Fuck this bullshit: www.npr.org/2025/11/12/g...

A great way to honour our beloved activist ancestors is to mask in public

This should alarm everyone. On Thursday, Florida, by unanimous vote, became the first state in the country to adopt “The Phoenix Declaration: An American Vision for Education.” It was written by the Heritage Foundation, the same group behind Project 2025. THIS IS INDOCTRINATION

There was an ICE watch and rapid responder appreciation event in Rogers Park today, and I wasn't able to attend, but I did send over 20 signed copies of Let This Radicalize You as gifts for my fellow volunteers. There's a virtual appreciation event happening soon, and I will def be present for that.

Folks, I did it. I made the Cooks Illustrated competing pear crisps, and then I made my friends judge them blind.

Iqbal Mohamed, a Your Party organising MP, has publically called Trans women "men" and called for their segregation in public spaces Anti-Trans+ ideology rots political parties from the inside out www.thecanary.co/trending/202... @thecanaryuk.bsky.social

“The rise in high-fronted SUVs poses a clear and growing threat to public safety, especially for children,” states the report. “With no benefit to society, it’s time for lawmakers at all levels to act.” Via @carltonreid.com in @forbes.com. Cap SUV/truck hood heights. And ban unsafe designs.

For the fifty billionth time: I don't want society to shut down. I want you to mask at the fucking hospital, bus, airport, school, and grocery store, if you can. If you cannot, I want everyone else to, to protect you.

Alice is the gold standard of what Twitter was when it was great - how you could just find these brilliant, remarkable people with the kind of voices that rarely get platformed or taken seriously, and hear about their lives in their own words without intruding on them or demanding emotional labor

Autumn!

Fully expecting someone to screenshot my words and mock me for stating this reality but maybe don’t do that while we’re mourning Alice Wong and Leslie Lee. You can always just mock me when you are out at brunch with your friends instead of where we’ll see it. Or you could try listening.

I’m still alive and when you don’t mask you are saying the same thing to me she described: that the terrible thing that happened to me couldn’t possibly happen to you because you’re superior. Or that my ability to exist in public is a burden & I am expendable. There’s no other honest interpretation.

So yeah, if you don’t mask when you share air you are someone who excluded or endangered Alice Wong and those like her from public life. Imagine how much more people can do if we take care of each other and can do it together everywhere and not just behind screens.

I want everyone to know her work. I also want folks who aren’t masking when we share air to sit with what their actions are doing to people like Alice and to anyone who knows they don’t have the luxury of risking infection. Two way masking is best, and Alice’s disablity meant she couldn’t mask.

Respect Alice Wong’s call here: “When I am in public spaces and see most people unmasked either because they think the virus is a hoax, that masking is virtue signaling & a sign of weakness, aren't thinking about it, or that they simply don’t care, I feel like an expendable burden not worth saving.”
