AOC’s biggest problem if she runs for president is that the white men who control our media ecosystem will not so much put a finger on the scale to stop her as an entire hand it can be done (see: Zohran) but it’s going to be blatant and it’s going to be infuriating

Please watch the entire video. It's long, but perfect to have on in the background while you game or clean or work. Near the end she speaks again about how she was treated by her own party when she was first elected, and it was honestly not surprising. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vvqw...

REP. @aoc.bsky.social : “It’s important to remember there’s more of us than them — every one of us can be sand in the gears of an injustice.”

Haha 🤣

from the perspective of someone who might want to be president, the best time to run for the white house is now, not later. so if AOC is thinking about it — if the white house is her ambition — then her best bet is to throw her hat in the ring

The worst case scenario for an AOC presidential run in 2028 is that she’s setting herself up for 2032 or 2036. She is going to be president someday—it’s just a matter of time.

Thanks to @jeffvandermeer.bsky.social I will always think of Control when I see rabbits.

It’s February 11, 2026. Is a pedophile still president of the United States? Yes.

Abolish ICE, Abolish the Border Join @harshawalia.bsky.social, @silkys13.bsky.social, & @reallandsend.bsky.social of @deathpanel.bsky.social for a discussion on the brutal enforcement of immigration policing in Minneapolis and beyond. Thursday at 7 PM ET events.haymarketbooks.org/events/hayma...

😬

WRONG. I-205 administrative warrants are not issued by immigration judges. They’re signed by ICE officers. And EVEN IF THEY WERE issued by an immigration judge - they are executive branch employees, NOT judicial branch. JUDICIAL warrants are needed to enter a home without consent.

Every accusation is a confession.

fundamentally Zohran is making a bet that voters will respond well to being treated like adults and I think it’s a good one

⭕Ce gars est un génie 😂

“One of the greatest advantages of our species is our ability to spread out amongst disciplines and gain and share specialized knowledge with each other that no one person could accumulate by themselves. However, it feels like there are strong cultural forces that seek to attack and diminish

Thinking about this video a lot these days. #solarpunk www.youtube.com/watch?v=HhNL...

ICE is now responsible for 66% of the homicides in Minneapolis this year.

EMERGENCY ACTION happening now. If you’re in the area event being held by MIRAC. Another community member has been shot. Join us for a vigil and rally this afternoon. 📍 E 26th St & Nicollet Ave S

Thread. [the shorthand about her that is often uplifted on social media always does her a disservice and also does Rosa Parks one too. Glad for this thread]

A few months ago, ICE hired me I didn't sign and submit any paperwork. I almost certainly failed the drug test. I'm real outspoken about my opposition to the Trump administration, and I am extremely googlable And yet, there it was, in plain English. "Welcome to ICE!" My latest for Slate

I know people on Bsky know this but I hope it filters out: The feds are OCCUPYING the Twin Cities. This is a blockade, a siege. They are shutting down economic and civic activity. They are conducting "papers please" stops. They are criminalizing being a bystander/witness. You could be next.

Can’t ye see the world where you stand?

AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

Turns out we can have nice things with the right, courageous leadership.

🔥 @markruffalo.bsky.social : “I gotta be honest, I’m not feeling so great. Renee Good was murdered... stormtroopers running around terrorizing. As much as I love all this, I can’t pretend all this crazy stuff isn’t happening. We have a president who says laws don’t apply to him- this is crazy.”

Jeff Chang points out that “cultural change precedes political change.” This is correct.

"Cyborg writing must not be about the Fall...Cyborg writing is about the power to survive not on the basis of original innocence, but on the basis of seizing the tools to mark the world that marked them as other." Donna J. Haraway, from A Cyborg Manifesto (1991) 💙📚

Still in awe of the people of Chicago. Trump and his party spent so much time trying to get them to give him some sliver of fake reason to do the insurrection act, and there was so much discipline from the Chicago area: sustained resistance, while not giving trump what he wanted Truly impressive

Here’s to 2026

"In the tradition of 'Western' science and politics-the tradition of racist, male-dominated capitalism; the tradition of progress; the tradition of the appropriation of nature as a resource for the productions of culture; 💙📚

"Liberation rests on the construction of the consciousness, the imaginative apprehension, of oppression, and so of possibility. The cyborg is a matter of fiction and lived experience that changes what counts as women's experience in the late [20th] century." 💙📚 Donna J Haraway, The Cyborg Manifesto

“For various American ideals to be fully realized, the country will need to recover its ethos of building, which I believe will solve most of its economic problems and many of its political problems too." From Dan Wang's Breakneck (2025) #booksky 💙📚

@yanisvaroufakis.bsky.social I finished reading Dan Wang's "Breakneck," and I'm curious to hear what you think about his position that China has rejected "advanced technology with American characteristics." He goes on to say that China is leaning into hardware manufacturing over virtual tech.

NO FUCKING SYMPATHY. Sloppers be sloppin' through the slop.
