Closed primaries and similar nomination processes are another way that the duopoly coercively maintains its chokehold on us.

There’s no need to feed the trolls, and by trolls I mean the NYT.

I still remember my anthropology professor’s favorite joke from college: “What did Watson and Crick discover?” “Rosalind Franklin’s notes.”

Currently reading: Poppy State by Myriam Gurba

Man really do wake up in the morning and then leave the house to go harass women. Knowing that some of us are out here angry, powerlifting, maybe even packing. Wow.

I am loving the new @lesbrains.bsky.social book so much, this is exactly what I need to be reading right now.

Looks like Alan Dershowitz lied. Again.

Second-highest number of rabid bats ever recorded in L.A. County, officials say

There were people who experienced serious and devastating repercussions as a result of #metoo. Those people are the survivors who were encouraged to disclose harm to the public and led to believe that they would be protected. Instead, many of us were punished, discarded and shunned.

What’s even scarier is that there are actual officers who carry out robberies, kidnappings and assaults across the United States…

Listen. I’m so thrilled that one of the very, very few #MeToo perpetrators to face any accountability didn’t weasel his way back into political power.

Also it was racism

What a great big beautiful fuck you to Cuomo.

I hope Ezra Klein will finally STFU

Straight up ? Bad boundaries, religious trauma, and generational issues They desire control in all aspects. So they want public control of the “other” AND interpersonal relationships where the object has the least power possible

i spent today in the hospital. my long covid turned lupus is now eating my kidneys. the pain is awful, do not recommend. please wear a mask.

Dick who?

incredible that the same party that argued rape victims cannot speak out without "due process" for their perpetrators are just...murdering fishermen.

my high school teacher mom is individually raising money to help cover the expense for the kids who are losing SNAP coverage at her school and members of Congress make roughly 2-4 times the income of the average high school teacher in America

In colonial New Spain, those Franciscan mf’ers enslaved Indigenous people and forced them to make wine that they weren’t allowed to taste.

The greatest threat to the Indigenous nations resisting the Mexican state is no longer Spain. The Mexican government is what threatens our Indigenous nations with genocide. This shit is so disingenuous. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...

I'm not offended easily. Birth rate talk pisses me off. Humanity is in NO danger of extinction because of the birth rate. Capitalism, climate change, nuclear proliferation, and humans' addiction to killing each other? THAT should be the concern.

Always honored to serve my ancestors 🕯️♾️🕯️

Ready to receive my muertos 🌹

Note: while not unprecedented, it’s actually pretty rare for a sitting Catholic bishop to participate in a demonstration. It’s just not generally what Catholic bishops do. Thus: Getting the hierarchy involved in this protest outside an ICE facility is no small thing.

Let's get some mad folks in charge of this world. Whip you sane folks into shape.

Y'all need to stop conflating "evil" with "mentally ill"

Does anyone else remember the talking sandwich episode of the Cosby Show?

Okay but this one goes hard. The creativity some of yall have!

Happy Halloween from my neighbors

NEWS: The Trump admin's decision to suspend SNAP benefits due to the shutdown has been blocked. In two cases, both judges found the government action is likely illegal. Although a judge in Mass gave the admin until Monday to reverse course, a judge in Rhode Island issued a TRO from the bench today.

Anti-blackness at work!

Whenever people invoke the Black Panther Party for self defense, I wonder if people know that there are still Panther members currently incarcerated.

There are some days, like today, when I’m so relieved that I don’t have an MFA.

So many people here have developed panic disorder in response to our abandonment...and the landscape doesn’t just “look” apocalyptic. It is.

Excited to read unpublished work with these weirdos tonight!

The more I learn about the Indigenous history of the Americas, the more absurd invitations to “defend democracy” sound.

That reminds me of an USian who once said that the US acquired its land by stealing it from the Indians fair and square…

Genuinely delighted to download a PhD thesis from a university repository where the author has neglected to remove the words "BITCH THIS IS YOUR THESIS" from the filename.

The Jan 6 insurrection was successful, & now it gets to be preserved as a success by this administration it brought to power.

This was just posted by a CBS News producer on their Instagram stories.

The way to prevent these institutions from harming kids is to abolish them. And the violent practices that proliferate in these child-oriented carceral institutions also proliferate in the public school system. laist.com/news/crimina...
