It worries me that we're losing the war against rightwing disinfo. There is no rational reason the shooting of Charlie Kirk made global news while Melissa Hortman's murder barely made national news & everybody has forgotten they blamed this on the left as well www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

"Today the United Nations commission that I lead is publishing its legal analysis of Israel’s conduct in the Gaza Strip. Our conclusion is stark: Israel has committed genocide against Palestinians in Gaza." www.nytimes.com/2025/09/16/o...

I'm Reem from Gaza... Today I'm still breathing, but I don't know if I'll stay until tomorrow. The bombing is restless, fear devours my soul, and hunger knocks on our doors every hour. Every moment that passes may be the last for me and my family.💔😢 www.gofundme.com/f/from-under...

Fascisms legal phase is accelerating quickly towards building the infrastructure to disappear and arrest anyone they see as a threat to their power.

People still absolutely fucking hate Trump this is not a situation where a fascist dictator has mass popular support he's incredibly unpopular and he's getting more unpopular by the day Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

One pretty foolproof way to know your government is fascist is when your government tries to punish you for calling it fascist.

FOX news host suggests we euthanize the homeless, someone goes into two encampments and starts shooting. 13 people shot and Jacob Frey and the media are just talking about it as the new best reason to clear the encampments

"What are we to make of a man who called for the execution of the American president, and then was executed himself? .. And what of the writers.. thinkers, and.. pundits who cannot separate the great crime of Kirk’s death from the malignancy of his public life?" www.vanityfair.com/news/story/c...

Basically the same moment Trump had after the assassination attempt, but now the lackeys are realizing that they might be in danger, too.

i'm sure A FEW of them (Miller comes to mind) are really enjoying the Bond villainy of it all. And Fox News and NY Post are certainly enjoying the clicks. But I think most of the actual Trump administration is having a real oh shit moment here.

That is actually exactly what I mean when I say they are having an oh shit moment. They're reading those texts and realizing the words they hear libs say aren't always just performative, because here is a guy who said those words and then FELT THEM so hard he killed an elite

Report: You To Be Fired For Reading This Headline About Charlie Kirk

Luxembourg will recognize Palestine next week at the United Nations General Assembly, following France as well as the United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Malta, and Belgium. Reportedly, Japan and Portugal are seriously considering doing so.

The comparison of Israel to Sparta is literally what Hannah Arendt predicted would happen back in 1947.

Karen Attiah, a black woman, got fired for A: accurately quoting what Charlie Kirk said about Black women B: Accurately observing that most white Americans seem permissive of white violence. It's bullshit, but almost expected in this white supremacist country.

National level democrats have either abdicated their positions or are complicit with the fascists plan for violence. No other explanation exists for their capitulation with the violent Nazi rhetoric that is now being normalized across media.

Reporters on the ground in Chicago are screaming to be heard over the false narrative that Pritzker defeated Trump there. PLEASE listen to them.

Please help Diana and Mohammad in these difficult times

I don't see how it doesn't turn into a power war between Johnson and Vance. And I don't see how either wins that one. Trump allowed them to rise *because* they are not charismatic or likeable enough to compete with him for MAGA.

Donald Trump, JD Vance, and Stephen Miller aren't destroying the US. They're holding up a mirror to the US. They are the US personified. This IS who we are. But it's not *who we have to be*.

US military just killed 3 more people in another deadly strike on a vessel in international waters around South America allegedly "transporting illegal narcotics" from Venezuela. No evidence presented. No due process. Understand this fact:—this is a precursor to what he will do to US citizens.

Israel is now invading Gaza City. www.axios.com/2025/09/15/i...

And they are hoping that the Kirk firing stuff will scare people silent when Trump kicks the bucket. Which, lol.

When I was placed on the Professor Watchlist in 2021, people sent death threats about my children. I had security officers monitor my 8yo at school. Where is all the outrage for those of us who have been targeted for years? Where is the outrage for our families? My own colleagues are silent.

the conservative far-right are playing their cards way too fast and this is actually a good thing. JD Vance taking over Kirk's podcast is a major misstep. it's a sign it's all falling apart and the veil is crumbling for them. don't always work yourself up. watch and observe too. be on the offense.

If the fascists categorize antifa as a domestic terrorist organization, anyone and everyone will be designated as antifa. it’s a catch all term that means nothing and has no real backing structure. Anyone they claim will be antifa and subject to the terror of fascist violence.

Welp. So far today's piece is resulting in more cancellations than new subs. That's part of taking risks & stands. If you think my stuff is worth supporting, please do. Because the only way I keep getting to keep saying things that my colleagues mostly can't is if I'm able to stay independent.

It’s long past time that I take responsibility for what I wrote on Israel/Palestine in ON REPENTANCE AND REPAIR. & with the Gaza genocide, our thinking about what amends & healing may ever involve is even more urgent. Even if there may never be “forgiveness” or “atonement.”

Statement from @postguild.bsky.social on the firing of Karen Attiah:

I got this sent to me from a Pascua Yaqui undergraduate student in Tucson who is in a soils class this semester. She said it was so meaningful to see not only women but someone from her tribe up there. I just about cried. This work matters. We matter ❤️🤍💙

No coincidence that the first person he blames for everything is Jewish, George Soros.

In a Hitleresque speech, JD Vance says there can be no unity with the left and vows to use the government to dismantle non-profit NGOs and liberal civil society who he says promote violence and terrorism.

I love my fellow Americans, but we are rude. And no amount of policing and making said rudeness illegal is going to make us polite. If anything, it will make us more obnoxious and belligerent. For freedom.

Like, I hate to break it to his supporters, but when that man dies there will be jubilees in the streets. And the size and number of them will belie the notion that he is a popular leader. Which means that his successor will be left powerless and seen as toothless.

The way they are rushing to crack down on free speech, you'd think Trump was going to die by the end of the week and they wanted to make celebrating the death of a rapist illegal before then. This desperation and urgency are really odd.

Hankyoreh now has an official English translation of this editorial: english.hani.co.kr/arti/english...

Israeli forces raided the home of Oscar-winning director Basel Adra on Saturday after settlers attacked his village and family in the occupied West Bank. One of his brothers had to be hospitalized after a settler ran over him with an all-terrain vehicle.

to all the ppl applauding and fawning over that actress for saying free Palestine, ask yourselves how many fundraisers of Palestinians in Gaza you have donated to or amplified with the same enthusiasm? here are a few pages i'd recommend (more in second post) lifeline4gaza.com

This is a red alert. This bill would give Rubio PERSONAL authority to strip passports from any citizen deemed to SUPPORT “terrorism”—a category so nebulous that in recent decades the feds have repeatedly used it to include nonviolent environmental activism and opposition to genocide.

I saw tons of people retweeting Richard Hanania after this all happened like he was some sort of moderate and not literally a nazi

If these guys genuinely become mainstream there’s just no going back as a country. Trumpism is bad enough. These guys think Trump is too soft. I don’t know if you ever put that genie back in the bottle.

The number of Americans who have discovered names like Jack Posobiec and Nick Fuentes this past week without knowing what they actually stand for is pretty alarming

Today Raven Geary of @unraveledpress.com reports on the spate of kidnappings and violence against immigrants in the Chicago area over the past week or so including a man who was shot to death by ICE on Friday. www.welcometohellworld.com/theyre-kidna...

Every artist I’ve ever known has this itch to create that won’t go away until they create. They have to do it. It’s why I know the “finally, someone like me can make art” AI users are full of shit. What they really mean is “finally, a way to get social media likes without hard work”.

After a morning of violent ICE activity around Chicagoland seen on social media videos, detention vans are rolling in to the Broadview ICE processing facility. We saw people in the vans, currently unclear how many captives were inside. One van has already gone back out.

The media doesn't want you to know that like 92% of Americans died last year from illegal drugs. But we're not going to let them conceal the truth any longer.
