I worked at a charter school for 4 years and let me tell ya……. they intentionally kick out children with disabilities to improve their test scores (since their charters are often contingent on the results).

i think writing long threads about how your employer---already reviled by several online constituencies for various wrongdoing---shouldn't be considered complicit in the epstein stuff is kind of like jumping on a rake as hard as you can

We can probably stop posting NYT headlines, pretty sure we all know they're dogshit by now.

I watched Presence and while I liked the plot, I was startled with how terrible the writing was. Then I looked it up and it’s the same writer as Jurassic Park and Death Becomes Her and more. What the heck

all of us praying for fetterman to kick the bucket

🧵On Nov. 18th, South Carolina will hear S.B. 323. If passed, S.B. 323 will create a total abortion ban. This ban attacks our free speech, bodily autonomy, privacy, and ability to support our communities in making their own healthcare decisions.

I wish everyone would stop being so shocked and precious about how cruel conservative people are. Many of you clearly didn’t grow up with ultra conservative parents. Their cruelty has no bounds, it spares no one, not even themselves, and there is nothing you can say or do to change their mind.

John Fetterman fell down in what authorities are calling an “ogre mishap”

#BREAKING | UNRWA reports that more than 30,000 Palestinians have been displaced across the occupied West Bank since January 25, 2025.

1. We are ruled by a group of pedophiles that I refuse to call a cabal because cabals work in the fucking shadows, this was all out in the open. The entire ruling class knew what was happening they talked about it openly and none of them cared. Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

AMAZING NEWS!!!!!

BREAKING: Oklahoma Gov. Kevin Stitt stops the scheduled execution of Tremane Wood today, commuting his sentence to life without parole. In doing so, Stitt accepted the recommendation of the Pardon and Parole Board. This is Stitt’s second death-sentence commutation as governor.

The root of a lot of this is hatred of children. Our society wants to punish and enslave children. That’s why Miss Rachel is so fucking refreshing, because she’s modeling that children should be loved, respected, centered, and empowered.

don’t you talk shit about my beautiful and favorite drug, ibuprofen.

The media no longer functions at all. There are independent journalists still out there trying to do the holy work, and bless them, but the entire media establishment is corrupt and broken, having never really worked to begin with. They are confederates of one of the worst cover ups in history.

📌 Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya, director of Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza, has now spent 320 days in Israeli detention after being seized during the army’s raid on the hospital last December. His family notes he is being unjustly held, and rights groups report he’s been denied medical care...

The GOP and a small group of Democratic senators have cleared the path to taking away your edibles

“It’s a hard world for little things.”

that the parents are protecting the teachers made me cry. community.

NPR REPORTER: “I’m in Gaza for the first time after two years of war, looking at this devastation up close… We are here accompanied by Israeli troops — more than two years after the war began, Israel is not allowing journalists into Gaza independently.”

More than a dozen Israeli soldiers spoke to ITV for their new documentary Breaking Ranks: Inside Israel’s War, about how their army’s two-year campaign in Gaza involved shooting unarmed Palestinians en masse, using teenagers as human shields, and flattening entire neighborhoods without pretext of...

Guys. DNA shit like this is largely speculative junk science. We need to stop with this shit. Read Fatal Invention by Dorothy Roberts.

I’ve been having an anxiety attack for about 2 days straight now

The U.S. lost an average of 11,000 jobs every week in October, per CNBC.

Ms. Rachel wore a dress designed by Palestinian children in Gaza while being honored at this awards ceremony. "Rana made this beautiful drawing, she lost both of her sisters in the genocide." (AJ+)

One of the things we* learned from the genocide livestreamed from Palestine is that the obvious, indisputable starving of children is not enough to move the American political class. The brutal revocation of SNAP is no different. Been thinking about how far this says we are from the horizon.

John Bolton, Hellraiser, 1988

Israel has destroyed more than 1,500 buildings in one month of "ceasefire." Gardens, homes, entire neighborhoods turned to dust www.bbc.com/news/article...

THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU FUCKING CAPITULATE. NOW THEY WANT TO IMPOSE MORE ABORTION RESTRICTIONS www.nbcnews.com/politics/con...

I’ve basically been having an anxiety attack for 12 hours

what if I don’t get a liver transplant, what if I just let the cysts keep pushing on my heart, what would happen? So I can’t bend, so what? Pain will get worse. I’ll continue to lose my appetite. Have a harder time breathing. but I’ll be alive. what am I swapping my symptoms for? Other symptoms?

Did I go to the bar and make a Lisa Frank-themed social media ask for an organ? Yes. benefits to donating: - temporary break from work and responsibilities as you convalesce - badass scar - you grow your own organ back, that’s kinda cool - good karma - you save my life (please share)

John Fetterman is out on Twitter/X trying to use @pghguild.com’s win to launder the personal and political reputation he rapidly squandered by outing himself as a genocidal loser who pulled a bait-and-switch on his constituents once his term started

joyce carol oates writes some fucked up books. i am not surprised.

My ACA current plan is going from $385/mo to $821/mo.

HUGE NEWS: @pghguild.com members at the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette have won! For 3 years, workers showed incredible solidarity and strength in the face of relentless and gross union-busting. Now, a court has ordered their contract restored. https://bit.ly/484XIc6

I don't actually care if Schumer resigns. The whole Senate Democratic Caucus is terrible. All of them.

history will ultimately decide this but i think joyce carol oates might have just landed the most devastating burn in human history. like the death star trench run of posting

this is literally never not accurate

Alright. I’m re-watching Kairo/Pulse (2001).

Uncomfortable truth about US politics is we’ve been in a constitutional crisis this whole century, and there is no way out short of a revolution. Kind of a midwit thing where the super low-info voters get that and the polisci professors get that and everybody else is like, Dems gotta try harder!!

Senate Dems are not afraid enough of us, and that's ultimately our fault.

That game where you take turns saying penis in public louder and louder, except you're saying guillotine

COVID was the ruling classes experiment to see if people would give up on the social contract to prioritize themselves, once they saw people were willing to let disabled, elderly and poor people die for their own convenience, they have slowly taken the mask fully off day by day and now we are here.

we should go protest the houses of democrats, yes, even the ones you like

To repeat: I have studied a lot of cases of autocratization over the past 15 years. Wrote about them, taught about them, consulting about them. I do not recall an opposition so apathetic, ignorant, and inept as the @democrats.org. They cling to their power, rather than fight for democracy. Shame.

“We are at a moment right now where people are asking themselves why can’t the Democratic Party defend this assault on democracy . . . and I would submit to you that if you can’t draw the line at genocide, you probably can’t draw the line at democracy.” -Ta-Nehisi Coates
