Notice how the papacy's good acts are all statements and the horrific ones are actual actions and policies with serious resources behind them? The Catholic Church has a massive healthcare network and inflicted a total trans care ban there last year. They're an enthusiastic part of trans genocide:

ICE is reportedly attempting to transfer lead strike organizer Martin Soto. A call is now circulating for people to mobilize to Delaney Hall to stop the transfer, with expectation of being met with teargas and force. Via: www.instagram.com/p/DYvLhASkQZ7/

I talked to @danielharper.bsky.social about the San Diego Islamic Center Attack, Neo-Nazi accelerationism, and more unpleasant topics on the latest episode of I Don’t Speak German. You can find our conversation here: idontspeakgerman.libsyn.com/145-the-atta...

This is pretty shockingly evil. Wild (if not surprising) that Washington does this while maintaining that Cuba is a threat to the USA.

A young teen organized a march yesterday against two proposed AI data centers in Vancouver, which is facing water restrictions & housing crisis. The first project will be at former Hootsuite headquarters. Hootsuite is also facing opposition for a pilot ICE contract. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

MUTUAL AID REQUEST! Recently, Eva was assaulted and her jaw was broken. Some of you may know I have also suffered this same injury and it has impacted my whole life for decades, so I know that it's very important that Eva get good care. If you contribute $50+, I will send you signed book plates.

Tennessee plans to execute a man this morning. And if that happens, it will be an absolute travesty. theintercept.com/2026/05/20/t...

Hey yall we still need between 2-300 today if possible, things are pretty messed up. I have managed to temporarily get Verizon to chill on the bill but it’s just gonna rollover to next months bill. Anything helps.

Political expectations are below ground. I understand. But we absolutely need to raise our expectations. That needs to be the default position. HIGH EXPECTATIONS.

“The implication of the jury's ruling will set precedent that ripples across the nation,” morrow said. “We are calling all of you here to help raise awareness and to stand in solidarity. Our community will not let Jac, Justice and Bajun fight this alone.” www.rangemedia.co/photo-essay-...

RFK Jr and Musk killed funding to programs that had the best chance of doing this

If Democrats had the political instincts and media machine Republicans do, in 48 hours 95% of Americans would know Andrew Paul Johnson's name and be LIVID that the government is getting ready to give him some of your tax money

I'm a week late learning this but Ohio AG David Yost is resigning to join bigot lawyers Alliance Defending Freedom, to the surprise of no one. abc6onyourside.com/news/electio...

TPUSA was promoting an anti-trans event on Juniper's campus when she was stabbed to death Sunday. I'm pretty well-informed + I only heard about this today on the "It Could Happen Here" podcast. Violence against trans and nonbinary people has skyrocketed in recent years. Media coverage is dismal.

When the National Guard opened fire on a large group of students at Kent State in 1970, killing 4....the world stopped. When city and state police did the same at Jackson State, an HBCU in Mississippi only 11 days later, killing 2, it wasn't until 2021 that the an apology was granted May 15, 1970

This This and This ... are not 3 things... they are one thing

all month, @akpress.org is donating $2 from every item sold to help Marius Mason re-enter society after almost 20 years in prison for his work trying to defend the earth. This includes both both books they publish and also books they distribute. I'll link some of my own and others that I like:

I've said it before, and I just said it again to a guy at work, but workers need to stop playing with these tech freaks and seize the means of computation. I don't need a bad update to threaten the lives of people on the street or in hospitals, I need the working class to have the means to compute.

In 2017, Criselda Vasquez painted this portrait of her parents and titled it "The New American Gothic." Last month, her father, the man in this portrait, was abducted by ICE after being in the US for 30+ years. The family is now struggling with bills. A GoFundMe has been started: gofund.me/456d8a193

I’m a broken record, but it’s facially insane that the SCOTUS’s position is that the interest of a political party—an entity with no special constitutional protection—in gerrymandering is more important than black people’s right to vote, which we have several constitutional amendments addressing

Feeling overwhelmed with all of this. LISTEN. Another Louisiana resident (Marshawn is the only name we have) testifies against the state’s racial gerrymander, speaking truth to power up and down the hearing room and predicts how this story will end. Speak your truth, fight and believe.

Remember a few months ago when “AI uses too much water” was broadly derided as ignorant and false? They can literally steal water and not even pay a fine, while residents are told to cut back. It’s an industry built on lawlessness.

Before being tapped to serve as acting director of ICE, David Venturella oversaw contracts for detention centers at GEO Group. It could not be clearer: what Trump calls "the largest deportation program in the history of America” is calculated to enrich his allies in the private prison industry.

It is wrong and criminal for government agents to kidnap someone, send them to die in a concentration camp, and disappear them, regardless of immigration status. But it's still worth noting she has a green card. The government doesn't even pretend this is about deporting undocumented people.

Last year, it only took five of us showing up and making public comment at a city council meeting to get the council to restore library funding that the mayor’s office had cut. Just a few people showing up can make a huge difference.

Did Musk buy this site while I was at work or something, who are these babies?

They spent at least $50 BILLION over 2 months to bomb people in Iran. I don't want to hear a single thing about what can and cannot be funded in this country. Ever. The End.

“A revolt and race war” is honestly perfect. Even now, generations later, the specter of the Haitian Revolution causes these people to quake.

They're really stopping an election that's already under way to erase my people from the map.

ICYMI: We spoke with long-time journalist @letsgomathias.bsky.social about his new antifascist spy thriller, "To Catch a Fascist," and discuss what's changed since the deadly Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, the role of anti-racist researchers under Trump 2.0, and much more.

"We need to demonstrate that it is possible to take action together—to show that action can be a basis for connection, rather than a final rejection of hope. The fact that people are increasingly desperate makes it all the more pressing to send a message to the disaffected—that they are not alone."

Entire discourses about “civility” and “political violence” (punching Nazis, comments about Charlie Kirk, being rude to senators at restaurants etc) but stuff like this - the systemic mass murder of hundreds of thousands - is coded as somehow apolitical, not deserving of consequence or punishment

As an Ohio resident our primaries are today so I double checked my (D) sample ballot, compared it to the R ballot. Nearly double the candidates as well as a candidate for positions running uncontested. I'm not a poli-sci guy or sociologist, this is just a gripe about OH politics sucking dog shit

If you’re mad about Louisiana, you can do something to help us in Louisiana. I literally grant write and fundraise alone so I can put women & girls through school, pay their rents, & provide them menstrual products. Don’t talk about us in Louisiana like we’re dead. tpfwoman2woman2026.funraise.org

We do as big of a sale as we can afford for may day

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...

Elon simply CHOSE to consign a million Africans to death for really no reason but the pleasure of it and it’s barely in the public consciousness

The Most Lethal(ly contagious) Fighting Force In The World!

Had to take a scifi break after some brain benders and listened to River Solomon's Model House. Legit internal screaming as I got to the climax of the book. Someone needs to tell River to calm tf down before they give me an panic attack lol #books #booksky #bookclub #horror

Lol Lmao

i love when all the worst people you know are fighting

I've had a niggling suspicion about Professor Jiang but seeing him do a panel with Aleksandr Dugin and Sneako is enough to confirm that he's likely a piece of shit.

I have not seen a better explanation of what this figure is supposed to be and I'm rolling

Everyone in this administration has brought their own destructive project to the unraveling of the US state, as it was, but the global threat created by RFK Jr's dismissal of health science for private "wellness" interests is a crime that requires exemplar punishment.

Hell yeah

Book update: the world is maybe worse than last post. Somehow I've accidentally, or subconsciously, chosen a string of books with themes of empathy, explicit or in part.

For you “what have you been doing besides sitting on your phone” people

I think people are allowed to draw conclusions about the American people based on their decision to put this man in office bsky.app/profile/pear...

This is essentially a declaration of dictatorship.
