In a sick, violent way, they have more faith in the possibility of a new world than a lot of people on the other side. They are willing to reimagine all of it. Many of us cannot imagine getting rid of payday loans and they’re like eff it, let’s see if the Pope’s still got the juice.

Hey if you're a young adult in the US pay very close attention to the moment because in shockingly few years the popular account of who did or said or supported what right now will be at times unrecognizable. Don't let that break your brain or just you, as a person.

This is a sick civilization. An open call to genocide. It is clear that Gaza is how we got here- tolerating genocide in one space begets another. Generations of our ancestors have worked to build something different, toward the preservation of earthly life. I hope I live to see this re-orientation.

sometimes I feel like such a flop I wonder how I will ever make it all happen... and yet in flopping I affirm the gift of life... I flop because I am not yet done....

I think a lot of us get hope wrong. Hope, I do not believe, is an emotion. In fact, hope makes space for lots of emotions to exist alongside it. You can DO hope scared, angry, sad etc... Hope doesn't find us. We make hope through action and struggle. It's a practice of living and is re-made daily.

Not coincidentally this is a pretty good list of Most Important Companies to Unionize.

watch out

a key reason they see an opening for such a blatant speech crackdown is that they already did one to Palestinian and anti-genocide activists and it got enthusiastic bipartisan approval

great news! you're not actually seeing karl rove, john yoo, and david frum criticize the administration's lawlessness more stridently than dem leadership. you, reader, were infected with rabies by a brown bat 36 hours ago and this is all just the virus working its way through your nervous system

What's your secret to being online all the time without contracting computer madness? For me it's being pure of heart

This is class solidarity. In case you’re at all confused.

I said something last week that is more broadly applicable today: Calling for empathy is not neutral or apolitical when only one group of people have been socialized and brutalized into having empathy.

P.T. (2014)

i like how in the current popular framing women's loneliness/desire for connection is not a topic of concern because there's no accompanying threat of violence

W…hat do they want help with…exactly? I mean, they have all the parts, I assume. What is it we are supposed to do for them?

Me, as a leftist, on how straight guys can get laid:

had a telehealth session with a new client this morning and everything was going well until jonesy figured out how to open a cabinet door in the kitchen and then otis saw the cabinet door swinging open, ran over and started barking at it like our lives were all in immediate danger

Truly, it’s the racism.

A U.S. surgeon trying to have a “peer to peer” consultation with a doctor at a health insurance company who is hiding his identity as her patient gets denied coverage. And it gets worse from there. You have to see it to believe it. (1/2)

"GOOD FUCKING RIDDANCE"

After the Tree of Life massacre we went to shul and as we lined up to go through the metal detectors a huge crowd of Muslim folks stood outside with signs chanting their love and support for us. It was one of the most moving things I’ve ever seen and it’s a testament both these NYC communities.

look at this doofus

this is where i’m at financially

passed my social work licensing exam!!! i’m officially a licensed therapist let’s gooooo

This is still one of the best ways to limit deportations. Stop collaborations between ICE, local police departments, sheriffs, and county jails.

It’s weird to presume this administration will follow the legal rules around invoking the insurrection act. They don’t need to “provoke violence” if they can define any act of collective resistance as “a riot.” Their immigration “policy” is based on a lie. Why wouldn’t invoking the IR be the same?

being intimidated by bluesky is so funny. yeah i keep getting my ass kicked every time i go to bath and body works

my friend got me to start a watching andor after some aggressive evangelizing and now he’s getting important updates re my viewing experience
