The Hampster Dance website in 1999 This website was one of the earliest examples of an Internet meme and it was created by Deidre LaCarte in 1998. #InternetHistory

was talking to someone who generally thinks of themselves as well-informed the other day who had zero idea about like, the worldwide assault on trans civil rights. none. it was totally shocking to them. not sure i have a point here but it was really baffling and i can’t stop thinking about it lol

Call it the beginning of the stripping of civil rights to come next inmho. www.commondreams.org/news/scotus-...

The average home price is up 433% since 1983. Today, the average price of a home is $405,300. In 1983 that number was just $75,900.

This is the result of decades of organizing in the conservative legal community that’s been allowed to flourish in plain sight as anything but a committed ideological movement.

HAN SOLO: Wait a minute, this is interesting... Trogdor. LEIA: Trogdor system? HAN: Trogdor's not a system, he's a man. A dragon man.

please tell me this has already been discussed to death & i’m just hearing about it now?

On January 23, over 300,000 people withdrew from the economy in the Twin Cities, carrying out a general strike to exert leverage against the ICE occupation. Ahead of May Day, it's worth revisiting this example of how to wield collective power—and what can hinder it. crimethinc.com/2026generals...

It has been 3 days and the attempted assassination has basically been forgotten, that's gotta be a world record for an event of that sort. Apart from a brief discussion processing it all, it was seen as stale non-news out the door.

Fucking partisan hacks. They just Shadow Docketed a reversal of a District Court saying Texas was racially gerrymandered (with tons of evidence showing exactly that). The difference? In Texas White People were the intended beneficiaries.

The south is pagan, queer, and Black and I do not cede it to the cishet white Christofascists It belongs to the Indigenous peoples anyway LANDBACK

Did Google end up crushing the Alphabet employee union? I hear so much about the former cracking down in internal dissent and virtually nothing about the latter despite the fact that it was a huge deal that they unionized a few years ago.

MAY make it illegal? You mean the Rotenberg center is still up and going?

Y...ay. But good lord.

if almost being assassinated for the third time in like two years actually made people like me even less I'd contract a fourth one to come get me myself

One amusing pattern I've learned is how there were songs in the 1980s that were basically ladies talking about how they wanted to get laid, but between using metaphor and having a music video that supported a different interpretation; they got the song aired in real time with no pushback.

1. Colorado is on the verge of passing a new conversion therapy ban. And it's clever. Borrowing from a Republican tactic of using private right of action to get around SCOTUS rulings, now Colorado will allow survivors to sue their conversion therapists. All that is left is the full Senate passage.

So it seems to me that since they would be met with massive opposition from the tech right anyway, there is no opportunity cost for the next Democratic President to undertake the greatest seizure of wealth from oligarchs and redistribution to the American people we've seen in history

Even having them explain the basics of how Chromosomes work (they are "Zip Files" for DNA) would throw them for a loop. They take on faith their chromosomal makeup and have a 4th graders idea on what sex chromosomes even do (and even less for what the 22 autosome pairs do).

So a question for the political theory nerds. Does Mao Zedong's 3 worlds theory still hold up to modern material conditions (assuming who is in which "world" has been updated appropriately).

Presumably, one goal of the airstrikes targeting small boats in the Caribbean and Pacific is to (further) accustom US military personnel to murdering civilians. Trump has already designated an unknown number of people members of a "terrorist organization" ("antifa"). crimethinc.com/sacrificialv...

BREAKING: The Supreme Court struck down a Louisiana map that fairly represents Black voters, gutting Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act. This devastating attack from the Court majority destroys protections for voters of color across the country.

The court’s ruling in Louisiana v. Callais follows cases that have narrowed federal voter protections, like Shelby County v. Holder and Brnovich v. Democratic National Committee. Together, these cases have made it harder for voters of color to challenge discriminatory voting laws and practices.

Are qwhite people understanding this moment now??? Do you understand what you are creating in this country? Do you understand the amount of damage that will never be repaired in your lifetime and maybe that of your kids?

If the Voting Rights Act is rightly seen by many of us as the real beginning of American democracy, then it is fitting that a Court hell-bent on undoing democratic rule, including granting the president king-like powers, would seek to dismantle it.

White America keeps fighting to the death to stay dominant by force of law, cheating whenever and however necessary to keep all its historical privileges. Subtle as a brick through a window.

worth remembering how short and simple the 15th Amendment is, as well as how sweeping its grant of congressional authority is. the idea that this doesn't cover a ban on racial gerrymanders is transparent horseshit

nearly 40% of Mississippi residents are Black…

there's a lot of pessimism around whether Dems will actually be willing to take on the court, and it's justified in many ways, but I think this is accurate it is possible to push this far enough - and I think the current Republican party probably will - that their hand gets forced

most major legal scholars on the left are in on court packing or some similar reform at this point, you are seeing more elected officials talk about it... this is a classic slowly, and then all at once issue and when it happens it will happen fast

There's a lot of alarmist coverage of the Supreme Court. Rick Hasen does not engage in it. This isn't stuff he'd write lightly.

Take less advice. That’s what works for them, not necessarily you.

I would honestly appreciate seeing bigger clitoris on cis girl characters too. (Not just trans men) Mine was big even before I started taking testosterone and the lack of variety of vaginas in porn art made me insecure long before I even realized I was trans ( I was actually completely ashamed )

#savespeech #notodigitalID The Greek government is pressing ahead with a plan to ban anonymity on social media www.euractiv.com/news/greece-... GREEKS! Yell at your reps. Tell them to vote NO on this. They are terribly misinformed. www.hellenicparliament.gr/contact/

We need to re-legalize the very cheap, bare bones housing that keeps people off the street. More broadly, we need policymakers to be ok with letting people build types of housing that they would not particularly want to live in.

if i’ve learned any lesson in the past couple years it’s that if you see a poly lesbian having a lot of great sex and being a hot woman, and secretly envy them, you can literally just become a poly lesbian having a lot of great sex and being a hot woman and the only thing stopping you is yourself

The evergreen opinion of reactionaries and now SCOTUS.

Under the Roberts Court, only white racial gerrymandering is allowed

SCOTUS rules 6-3 against a majority Black district in LA represented by Black Rep Cleo Fields, holding that the district is a “racial gerrymander.” This is systemic white supremacy. Next Dem pres & Congress must expand the Court, impose term limits & prosecute corrupt justices. Complete overhaul.

In my career, I’m mission focused. I want artists to win. I want artist-driven productions to conquer soulless billionaire-run slop. I want to tighten the connections between the art and the audience and build worlds fans can better escape in to and immerse themselves in.

This is like remaking Death Note and changing the ending so that Light repents and finds Jesus at the end instead of dying scared and pathetic in an abandoned warehouse begging for the supernatural power he's been gleefully wielding against everyone he sees as beneath him to show him mercy

interesting to see the anti prison abolition types still pulling out the "but what about rapists" as a gotcha My sibling in christ, nobody in the epstein files has been arrested and only 1 guy from the rape academy has been arrested Clearly the rapists aren't in prison, they're walking among us

i like my women like i like my women, women

I coined it the return of Jim Crow back in Biden's term when universities started using crackdown on protest to roll back DEI. Then Trump came into office with a mean vengeance for seeing Black folks oppressed spreading & normalizing bigotry & getting it into policy. The Supreme Court's in on it.

Officially done my psychotherapy Masters degree!! 🎓🎓🎓 I cannot thank everyone enough for supporting this project while I paid my way through school! Naked Therapy ended up being a way for me to practice my counselling skills, while supporting men around the world in finding connection and care 💛

Literally sitting here trying to do mutual aid but the nerve pain is so bad everything from my knees down is on fire and I can only stand for a few mins at a time, with a lot of pain $200 / $500 for medical debt $0 / $500 for wheelchair 🧑🏼‍🦽 we are passing 50% on! thank you so much! 💜🫂

From their perspective, it's actually a good use of government resources. Harassing protesters is useful for the government.
