I'm here for people who want liberation Not people who want Democrats

The loss of community institutions, affordable third places, and time not consumed by caregiving or a second job are not men’s problems. They are American problems. What’s different is how the male version got branded and pumped up with emotional steroids.

MY LATEST: "If there’s no right to obtain damages when a racist postal worker refuses to deliver mail because he’s big mad a Black woman owns a couple pieces of property, then the postal service has no financial incentives to stop racist employees from tossing Black people’s mail into a river."

Learning isn't a job. It isn't about what you produce, how much time it takes you to finish an essay or an article. It isn't about the grade you get on your homework. It's about you - your brain, your mind, the data in it, the connections, the processing.

I think the real story in Texas tonight is Republicans have poked a bear. Almost 2 million Democrats voted today in a red, red state. 🔥🔥🔥

The way sitting politicians can say this stuff about Muslims while facing zero consequences is an indication of just how entrenched Islamophobia still is in our institutions and culture.

One of my favourite sides of politics/media.

What an answer. Damn.

I'm hearing reports that the elderly despotic leader is now afraid to reenter the capital and is attempting to establish a functioning government in a gilded palace located in a remote southern part of the country.

Former Harvard president Larry Summers will retire with the title “president emeritus” after scrutiny over his ties to Jeffrey Epstein — a soft landing that, one economist argues, underscores academia’s tolerance of powerful, sexist men. theconversation.com/former-harva...

"The forces we are up against have made peace with mass death" is about as stark and truthful a phrase as I have read since 2016, and I wish someone had said it years ago, not that the sensible people would have listened then either.

The key paragraph from @naomiaklein.bsky.social & @astra.bsky.social's powerful piece describing the urgency of our present moment. They are right, and we better move quickly.

The reality here is that universities would love to hire visible and capable conservative scholars. That they have to create separate centers, and then hire people who would never make it in an open search, underlines the fact that its not anti-conservative bias, its a lack of strong candidates.

My other take is that any Justice who writes for anything other than full birthright citizenship should be impeached for that ALONE because that's such a flagrant violation of their oath of office that they cannot be trusted with anything ever again.

once again reiterating my genuinely-held political position that health insurance companies failing to provide people access to medically necessary care in a timely manner should result in a million dollar fine paid out to the injured party and earn a felony + jail time for the CEO

Defund the police is very specific. The issue is the Black youth that articulated the position were met with eye rolls, even as they laid out their plan for an abolitionist movement. I've spoken to many of them, specificity isn't a problem, will is. Much like abolish ICE.

How does he sleep at night?

Hell of a lot of respect for @chrisrabb.com for clearly stating that hate crime legislation does not keep us safer. "we need to stop confusing cages with care" Do you know how rare it is for a candidate to say this out loud? PA-03, please vote for Rep. Rabb! www.instagram.com/p/DVJ4HITiSCE/

my boss at the southern reach told me expeditions keep going missing in area x so i asked how many theyve sent in and my boss said they just find new people afterwards and i said it sounds like theyre just feeding people to area x and lowry started crying

Because cops don't actually know the law and just do what they're told to do, or arrest ppl that irritate them (not an arrestable offense), or just lie like they always do. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Public un-redacted files via Europe

Alysa Liu has an incredibly distinctive look and they still confused her with someone else.🤬

Studying abroad for a year, even in a place as similar to the US as Scotland was, was absolutely radicalizing, if only because it got me out of the US media bubble. Especially as I was there during the run up and launch of the Iraq Invasion.

i know who i'd vote for if i lived there

HELL no. Your own hometown newspaper (which in better times for the paper I used to write for) gets your identity wrong with a racist photoswap in a post about the biggest night of your life? A paper serving a majority Asian American metro population? Apology, retraction, sackcloth and ashes.

"The spokesperson attributed the inaccuracies to a “glitch”..." i.e., they got caught lying. 🤷‍♂️

Normalize laughing derisively in men's faces when they deserve it.

People get online & see all these folks they silo themselves from expressing themselves in their sight for the first time & say well leftism must have been invented on the internet & exist only on the internet. No it’s real! You’re centuries late to the game & pitifully underexposed & indoctrinated.

How do you meet half way with people that want to kill you and burn your memory.

so this is really scary, and it’d be nice to have some support from cis people it won’t stop with us; compromising with these nazis is just wiping out your bench before the game like one thing you can do is STOP GLAZING GAVIN NEWSOM since he is helping them

They're coming for adult care and they're explicit about it.

A prominent Bluesky elder already hosts Jeopardy

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

DID YOU KNOW: The oldest known computer was first owned by Adam and Eve! It was an Apple, had 1 byte, and then everything completely crashed. Soon after, biblical tech would improve as it was Moses who downloaded the Ten Commandments directly from a cloud onto his tablet. Hotchachachacha!

We are a nation in which thousands of Black people were "legally" kidnapped with the assistance of the federal government & sent back into slavery. We are also a nation in which thousands of white & Black people organized in their local communities to try to stop those kidnappings. "We" are both.

You turn up with your unwashed ass and your 50 pull requests generated by your shitty slop code generating machine you bought off the internet and you want some unpaid volunteer on the internet to wipe your ass and pick through the garbage code you've generated and be grateful to you contributed.

I mean. Why do you think they wanted the blanket back so badly they fired a dude?

CBP didn’t give her or anyone any water; she asked 3 times accg to other reports. CBP killed a 7yr old. “8 hours after the girl & her father were taken into custody, she began having seizures & her body temperature was measured at 105.7 degrees by emergency medical technicians. shorturl.at/d2OTJ

Let's do it and see. Bring it on. The biggest threat we've ever faced is squatting and shitting in the White House NOW.

The GOP blocked the Epstein files from being released. They blocked Congress from working and prevented the deciding Epstein vote from taking office for over a month. They overly redacted the files. Now they're trying to move on without any investigation. WHAT IS THE GOP HIDING?

this country hates women, children, and families so much

Gandalf really is heroic when you consider that there were originally five wizards and one of them turned evil, two of them fucked off and went out east to have orgies, and one is just super into talking to gophers. The one last hope of free peoples was the stoner and that crazy mfer did it.

Alternatively: We are imposing new requirements to private businesses that will discourage them from serving people on SNAP.

Impeach, arrest, and prosecute them all. Anything less is being complicit.

Friends from Minneapolis reporting to me that things are at the point where folks are being hidden in other people's houses and we are in the "again" part of "never again" which the "never" was supposed to preclude
