Rojava, the largest actually-democratic project in the world, has entered what might (or might not) be a last desperate stand.

“i want back my rocking chairs, / solipsist sunsets, / & coastal jungle sounds...” A poem by Renee Nicole Good, who was murdered by ICE earlier today. lithub.com/renee-nicole...

Two queer women with a 6 year old in school today stopped to film ICE and for their bravery ICE agents murdered one before the other’s eyes. The grief in the survivor’s voice is a knife to the gut. Destroying people and their bonds is what ICE has always done.

I'd just like to point out how weird it is that places with hundreds or even thousands of reporters — the NYT, WaPo, CBS, NBC, AP, etc. — are all getting pummeled on every major story by the dozen computerboys at Wired. To fumble the bag this consistently is, at some point, cowardice and a choice.

When heatwaves blow through the Midwest, I try to stay positive and look at the silver lining: this is the coolest summer it’ll ever be for the rest of our lives…

It’s genuinely staggering how many people have seemingly memory-holed the lies and propaganda that launched the US invasion of Iraq. Simultaneously, it’s infuriating to see so many dubious people who seem to think this is going to be WW3 or be a 1:1 repetition of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

…this is such a stupendous self-own, I don’t even need to bother saying anything.

No gods, no masters. No kings, no presidents. No cops, no prisons. A better world is possible.

They want to throw a new generation of working-class people into the meat grinder of war for access to shipping lanes and rare earth minerals. Fuck these war pigs. apnews.com/article/hegs...

Re: the big No Kings protests this weekend, remember that the corporate media, politicians, etc are obviously champing at the bit to be able to force a “good protestors vs bad protestors” narrative to discredit the anti-ICE/anti-genocide movement. Do not let them. Embrace a diversity of tactics.

leftists: that thing you teach us in school to be terrified of is happening historians: that thing is definitely happening star wars: here is a beat-for-beat breakdown of how the thing happens, but with pew pew lasers. we know you watched it news outlets: these protesters are out of control

Today is Int'l Day of Solidarity w/ Long-Term Anarchist Prisoners. To remind us of our comrades held by the state & to reinvigorate our struggle alongside them until every last prison wall crumbles. Turn your attention to @supportmariusmason.bsky.social‬ @freepeppy.bsky.social‬ & others like them.

Happy May Day everyone. Here is a drawing I did of August Spies, one of the haymarket martyrs, addressing the court after being sentenced to die.

Biden and his administration are liars and genocidaires, and they laid out a red carpet soaked in blood for their neo-nazi successors. May they be remembered for their evil and violent hypocrisy.

Living in a dying empire sucks.

Thirteen years god-free.

You know the *only* reason he got out so fast was a reporter live posted about this for hours. And, a large amount of public pressure. Every time someone gets grabbed, there has to be a robust public response immediately.

Whenever I hear the kids singing along to Turnstile, I feel like I won as a parent.

If you read one article today, let it be this one. It unveils the harror of russia's mass abduction of Ukrainian children and reeducation camps, showcasing bravery from kids that surpasses what most adults could muster, and miraculous tales of rescue. www.politico.eu/article/save...

I am an art snob about precious few things. Fine line tattoos are one of 'em. Why, for all that is good in this wretched world, would you get a tattoo that is simply not going to hold?

Must read: Mahmoud Khalil speaks out for the first time since his arrest by the Trump administration in an exclusive letter, dictated over the phone to his family, from ICE detention in Louisiana.

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.

BREAKING: Hundreds of Jews and allies have taken over Trump Tower chanting “We want justice, you say how. Bring Mahmoud home now!” and “Fight Nazis, not students.” The civil disobedience is spawned by the ICE arrest of Palestinian student Mahmoud Khalil.

It’s illegal to deport people for political speech, but that’s exactly what ICE is trying to do to this Palestinian Columbia student. interc.pt/3Dvhxgk

The disappearing of Mahmoud Khalil, a person with permanent legal status in the US, should be a red line that everyone should recognize. They knocked on his door and vanished him into an authoritarian system without a trace. Your door could be next. jaredyatessexton.substack.com/p/so-it-begi...

SCOOP—Emails obtained by @zeteo.com show Mahmoud Khalil reached out for help from the Columbia administration *one day before* ICE detained him. He said he couldn't sleep from threats he was receiving. He even wrote that he feared ICE "might come to my home."

Robert Pattinson is going to devote the rest of his acting career to just playing the freakiest lil guys.

I am utterly mystified that there are human beings on this Earth who don’t like Hozier. Bizarre. Untrustworthy, even.

Amazing that the same book has been used by priests and nuns to explain their moral imperative to die protecting socialists being hunted by CIA backed militias and also by dudes in McMansions who think the creator of the universe considers it a priority to beat neurodivergent 8 year olds

Hype. youtu.be/AE4wxt70aUM?...

D&D rips.

Started “Severance” the other night. @radplantmom.bsky.social and I are hooked. The show is just as good as everyone says it is, if not better.
