It's not fascist to call fascists fascist. It's not "dehumanizing" to say that terrorizing entire groups of people - which ICE does - is evil. No executive order can change these facts. However, people *can* mess things up for fascists by standing up for community and truth. Like this.

They are all of them thugs

the people who want fiction to be manuals teaching you what to think or feel about politics/life aren't artists. you're thinking of propagandists.

✊Today, hundreds of New Yorkers shut down the streets surrounding 26 Federal Plaza to make it clear that they will not stay silent as ICE commits violent & unlawful actions against our immigrant communities. Join us today at 6PM at Foley Square to demand #ICEOutofNY!

BDS works! also, they're still letting the IDF use their other cloud services, but they're starting to move on this, keep pushing.

Giorgia Meloni, Italy's PM, is a far right fascist who supports Israel, but the general strike Italians carried out 2 days ago scared the shit out of her. Strikes are the most effective way to get politicians to do what you want them to do. Shut down profit and they stand to attention.

Never thought this would blow up as much as it did and that so many people would offer resources. I can’t express my gratitude enough

The fascist scum at ICE just heard “gotta catch ‘em all” and never bothered to remember it concludes with “you teach me and I’ll teach you.”

Need. Now.

Just heard a new anti-subway surfing ad featuring Cardi B. Interested to see how this one pans out

Dolls stay winning

You cannot trust information coming from Kash Patel's FBI. You cannot trust information coming from ICE. You cannot trust information coming the Trump administration. You cannot trust information coming from Republicans.

This mfer showed up to the party thinking he scored Joseph’s coat

Chappell Roan’s show was awesome. She’s definitely a lot more at ease with superstardom than when I saw her last year. Her band brought metal vibes but highlights might’ve been the ballads (tho maybe that’s just what I needed to hear). Also, wardrobe showed us Chappell’s chaps 😰

As someone who just moved to a neighborhood with one of the highest concentrations of foreign-born NYers, I feel like I need to be involved in community organizing that isn’t just sending money or going to an occasional protest. Any Queens-based orgs ppl recommend (preferably Jackson Heights area)?

Personally, I believe that anyone misdirecting the attention the attention of women and children away from very real threats of sexual predation (cisgender men) is actively complicit in the sexual abuse of women and minors

rapture happened if you can read this you are gay

We won't be silent in the face of inhumane, illegal violence against immigrant New Yorkers. We won't stop fighting until we get #ICEoutofNY. Join me and others this Thursday, September 26 at 6:00 PM in Foley Square.

In the twin cities, it’s CW.

Oh no, I’m out of chai! [heats up dal makhani] Ah, I’ll just drink this warm cream

Every few months:

I have a rule where the second I see the word “irreversible” in discourse about trans kids (& adults too!), I bounce. I know what shit you’ve been reading

Hey at least it’s in Times Square so Friends fans will be kept away from people who actually live here

#JUST_IN | Dua Lipa has fired her agent David Levy after he signed a letter asking KNEECAP to no longer perform at Glastonbury due to its pro-Palestinian activism.

the trans music archive has announced a residency for 2 trans bands/artists at their recording studio in NY, plus a $1000 stipend www.transmusicarchive.org/residency

I will day this, the Disney Adults have proven themselves much more ready to meet this moment than any Harry Potter Adult has.

And I’m the self-hating Jew because I’m against colonialism and genocide? This guy’s why I don’t publish under my real name. Too many fucking jokes

If you’re an H1B holder impacted by the new Trump executive order there are several lawsuits brewing. This is one, and there are others working in this as well. DM me if you need a connect to pro bono lawyers. redeaglelaw.com/lawsuit-inte...

The free Syrian flag is now raised outside of the Syrian Embassy in Washington, DC -- an imagery that so few thought could be possible in their lifetimes. 💚🤍❤️🖤

To everyone who blew up my alerts today for quoting Andor, here’s the critical follow-up

Important thread. I almost had a panic attack at the headline. Still not good news but thankfully not what it seems in totality

Matt Peters reviews Dr. Werthless by Harold Schechter and Eric Powell www.graphicmedicine.org/comic-review...

At the risk of seeming gauche by quoting Andor, remember “The imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks. It leaks. Authority is brittle.”

cancelling Disney+ and Hulu is well and good but it’s not a huge hit on an individual level but Disney adults? people who spend real money at the parks? you guys can make a dent, call ‘em up and tell them your vacation is postponed until they pull their heads out of their asses

I just spoke to NYC Comptroller Brad Lander as he left police custody following his arrest at immigration court. Here’s what he said:

🧵 To apply for a library card at NYPL, Brooklyn or Queens, you only need to live, work or pay taxes in New York STATE. There are also cards for residents of the tri-state area, & visitor cards for everyone else. You do NOT need to be a citizen. The library will not ask about your citizenship status

This is one of the most important posts of the day.

Gorillaz say FREE PALESTINE

Awful and dangerous to hear the Mayor echo the transphobic bigotry coming from the Trump administration. It's completely at odds with the values of our city and another reason why his single, disgraced term in office cannot end soon enough.

One thing I'll say about DC not only canceling Red Hood, but recalling the first issue and refunding stores for buying it, is that you can still get Neil Gaiman's work through them. They still work with Otto Schmidt. Eddie Berganza worked there for years AFTER the formation of a policy that no women

"Porn bans" ALWAYS lead to trans bans Michigan bill seeks to lock up trans people for posting selfies.

Normally I avoid this stuff, but something tells me this is gonna get our of hand quickly. Regarding the rumors around “Kpop Demon Hunters songs are written by AI!”, this appears to come from an unverified translation of a now-deleted tweet that may be contradicted by other sources

I mean yeah she’s a fucking Amazon and he’s a Jewish kid who moved to the big city while adopting the most goyische name you could think of

Escapism as it is defined by a reactionary fandom doesn't work for me. I can't retreat into a fantasy world where problems don't exist. I need one where those problems are beaten back or overcome. I don't want ignorance. I want hope.

Right: “We need to exterminate their entire subhuman species!!” Anyone left of center: “Will you chill the fuck out?” Right: “They used swear words. I am under attack.” Centrists: “I can’t believe what the closed-minded Left is doing to our society.”

Worth noting how rare it is, especially for a professional politician no less, to simply admit that they were wrong and apologize and express regret. How many will do that about Gaza in the grand scheme? I think very few.
