Hard to express to those not in the weeds just how much the current state of the immigration detention system is just utter chaos.

this is the most chotinered a chotiner interview has ever chotinered

Come support trans youth writing!!

A month after a sprawling oil and lubricant facility exploded and rained down slick black droplets over a predominantly Black town in rural Louisiana, the forests that once sheltered the small town are turning brown.

I keep thinking of all the soft boiled liberal defenses of this genocide from 2 years ago, how many smart people i saw on here defend it, the lies, the rationalizations, all of it. It was obvious within days and I wish this humility would actually leave a mark upon those who dutifully defended it.

absolutely fucking heartbreaking. there are links below so you can give money to his family to help them try to survive. please also do every part of BDS that you absolutely can, and raise hell in every institution you're a part of.

They held a child hostage. A child.

The answer? More autism 😎👉👉

“Over half of the ice detainees held in New York jails between January and July — and 62 percent in Nassau County — had no criminal charges or conviction, the federal data shows.”

This gets a paragraph, if that, in high school US history.

i simply did not have the disney adult antifascist reading list on my late capital declining democracy bingo card and that’s on me

Breaking news: Thirty-one journalists were killed in Israeli airstrikes on a newspaper complex in Yemen last week, according to a new report by the Committee to Protect Journalists. They say it was “the deadliest strike on journalists in the Middle East.”

Brooklyn Public Library giving their annual book awards to a trans writer who loudly supports palestine (emet north) and mosab abu toha while nypl can’t allow staff to do displays of Palestinian authors….I do know where I want to work next

a chilling warning to america from 2004 !

This happened the same day Canada announces a new law, Bill C-9 "the Combatting Hate Act", so it's pretty obvious who they are threatening here. I wonder how long until we're all jailed for pointing out the basic fact that all settler colonial projects are genocidal www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/9/...

"The retired general told a community meeting in southern Israel earlier this week that more than 10% of Gaza’s 2.2 million population had been killed or injured – “more than 200,000 people”. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

As much as I hate these people and wish each and every one of them incalculable suffering, this is so querulous and desperate I visibly winced reading it.

Those on an H1B cannot return to the US from tomorrow (Sunday) unless paying $100K. This is an out-of-the blue presidential action. We’ll see software engineers stranded abroad. One easy to predict outcome: those on US visas will travel less… for work, for conferences etc.

I hate Israel with all my heart

Then on the 22 I am in Boston at All She Wrote Books at 6:30 PM talking to Fin Leary, who has a great story in the upcoming anthology THESE BODIES AIN’T BROKEN

Signing up for the vaccine on the CVS website you just click a button near the end confirming you are eligible. OTOH this is a small thing but the amount of political capital it cost them to fuck w/ vaccine availability, and the largest corp in the business basically refuses to enforce

The Gaza Soup Kitchen run by Hani Almadhoun and family is currently feeding 3000 people a day under the monstrous conditions of the engineered famine happening before our eyes. You can help feed at least a few people. Please donate: gofund.me/e37b4bae

Average American Friday night: - more purges of national media - more purges of immigrants in the cities - high skill immigrants must now pay annual bribe of $100,000 less they never reenter/be detained at the border - illegal murder campaign in foreign waters enters its third episode

this is the most important fight right now, the fight against ICE and the struggle for Palestine are one

To whomsoever much is surrendered, much will be seized

By the way, apparently one of the key tactics activists used to get the NHS to stop doing conversion therapy on gay men was publicly disrupting meetings of psychiatrists and managers by loudly confronting them with difficult questions. Food for thought.

DHS agents arrested 70 New Yorkers outside 26 Federal Plaza on Thursday, with an additional 12 elected officials including NYC Comptroller Brad Lander arrested upstairs, after they had attempted to enter the building to assess the living conditions of immigrants detained there.

A vaccine panel just tabled a vote that would have delayed universal use of the Hepatitis B vaccine for newborns. For now, nothing has changed on use of the vaccine, which is safe and credited with saving lives. But how did we get here? My latest for @19thnews.org: 19thnews.org/2025/09/hepa...

A trans woman was murdered by a man who kept taunting her for not being a woman. This is exactly the kind of hate that has been incited by Matt Walsh, JK Rowling, and Chaya Raichik. They got exactly what they wanted, a dead trans person killed because of hate. wtop.com/dc/2025/09/d...

hey so I’m hearing from a librarian in San Diego that a media company contacted the libraries to put up anti-human trafficking posters there but the numbers on them redirect to ICE hotlines and the media company was hired out by DHS. Not sure if this is happening elsewhere in SoCal, but be advised!!

what a fucking jackass.

This was from banning trans girls from girls sports. Just so you understand the reality of what's going on here.

I don't think pointing out the fascists' 'hypocrisy' is a good use of time. It's not hypocrisy, it's hierarchy. They actually do believe that they have the right and obligation to dominate you because they are superior to you. They are using their power not being hypocritical.

The Walter Mehring Variety Hour has been cancelled; a tribute to the martyr Horst Wessel will air in its place. This is not censorship or fascism and you're not allowed to say otherwise.

personally I care way more about this than jimmy kimmel but hopefully people who care about kimmel realize how it’s connected to mahmoud

A reminder: Israel has mandatory military service. Conscripts from foreign nations are volunteers. There are people from your countries who volunteer to go to Palestine on behalf of Israel to shoot toddlers in the head. Ask yourselves why. Ask yourselves what kind of people do that. I’ll wait.

LOL Germany

This essay, by an Egyptian-American former New Yorker staff fact-checker, is an incredible read And incredibly damning Huge recommendation

In light of today’s news I’d like to remind you that this is a real newspaper clipping. History repeats itself when we don’t stop it.

They really have nothing on this guy if they’re accusing him of doing “student politics” when he’s just stating facts

hard to really take a lot of this kimmel shit that seriously, especially from people who were lockstep behind bringing militarized cops and paid goons down on college kids for calling a genocide a genocide. the horse has been walking very slowly out the barn for a while now
