Growing up is realizing that all the atrocities you learned about in history where “at the time, nobody knew better” certainly included tons of people who did, in fact, know better, but were silenced, ignored, and forgotten.

this is an embarrassing thing for this guy to say in public but also touches on something that constantly rankles me, which is the vague idea of "feeling unsafe" as a problem that someone else needs to solve for you regardless of whether you are actually unsafe or not

🚨 SOUTH PHILLY: ICE was spotted on 7th & Snyder at 9am this morning; their two unmarked Dodge SUVs (one gray, one black) are heading South on Broad as of 10am. Community members have eyes on them—alert your neighbors! KKF 7661 gray Dodge SUV LTM 932 black Dodge SUV

They had their passive voice filter still set to Israeli.

🚨 ALERTA PHILLY 🚨 Hearing from a very credible local source that there may be ICE action tomorrow (Sunday 6/8) in the following areas: 5th and Washington Ave 7th and Snyder Ave 5th and McKean/Wolf Chinatown Let your neighbors know to stay safe and be vigilant. Be ready. Be water.

having spent my formative years under the obama regime freaking out abt when the other fascist boot was gonna drop, i can promise you, they absolutely do (and i hate them for it)

do US liberals go into hibernation during democrat administrations or something. the ferguson protests happened under obama & last year under biden we saw police attacking student gaza protestors all the time

Happy 🌈

I get this question a lot. I don't have strong views on how transmasc people should dress, but since I often get the question, I've thought about it a bit. Will share some thoughts in this thread. 🧵

It's breadsday my dudes

I 100% would have used ChatGPT for homework when I was in school, because homework sucked ass. However, if I hadn't been forced to bullshit a lot of essays 15 minutes before class I wouldn't have learned that I enjoy writing. The moral is to destroy both ChatGPT and homework.

Gen X: The forgotten and ignored generation I have to read opinions about every single day

“Sex worker” identity isn’t rly just based on labour status alone as the identity persists long after one has ceased performing it. It’s a category of labourer, but also on an intersection of class/caste/gender

Turning 30 is actually not bad because you actually spiritually turn 30 at age 27. By the time you hit 30, you've already been 30 for three years.

Guys, I love all of you, but the answer to RFK, Jr. is not that autistic adults hold jobs, pay taxes, and get laid, it's that everyone deserves to live even if they can't work, pay taxes, or get laid.

“Viv there’s more to life than serving cunt”- lies and defamation, who told you this?

Yup! And tech CEOs kids have access to a wide arrange of tech including laptops, Alexas, Apple Watches, and a slew of other tech. For many poor kids a phone is the only word processor and communication tools they have. The entire smartphone moral panic is about control, not kids wellbeing

The thing that most people aren’t realizing is that the thoughtcrimes don’t have to be current for you to be on the Tyrant’s list. Op-ed articles from a year ago, social media likes from two years ago, hiring decisions from 2017, tattoos from a decade ago: justifications for persecution today.

I love being a human artist and creating something never before seen, out of my mind’s eye. I love making every decision with care. I love trying and failing. I love noticing mistakes and fixing them. I love it all.

only silver lining thus far

RIP USAID — all remaining 900 employees will be fired.

Why do so many people still suggest "calling your Congressional office or the White House" as like the go-to form of "resistance." Just saw this in a comment by Nicholas Kristof, the NYT columnist, but have been seeing it all over. I thought it was clear that was deader than dead as a useful thing

ITS NOT ENTIRELY BECAUSE THEY ARE STUPID ITS BECAUSE THEY ARE OWNED BY CAPITAL DO YOU THINK THESE PEOPLE KEEP GETTING OUTSMARTED BY DONALD FUCKING TRUMP WAKE UP

i'm not sold on this. the dems have tv networks, newspapers, all the celebrity endorsements they like. it's not that the right have some huge infrastructure advantage, it's that the message the dems are pushing is shit

the fascism we export to the global south will always come home to roost

By the way it was the whole party, those ten are just whose turn it was

American liberals be like: "You people have no idea what you're cheering for. The collapse of the dollar as world trade currency, would be catastrophic for the liberal world order." Me: "Please don't threaten me with a good time. The liberal world order needs to crash and burn, like right now!

American fascism's sprawling network of ICE detention camps and its jackbooted enforcers was all created very deliberately by presidents who 'acted constitutionally' and 'respected democracy.' Until American liberals start reckoning with that fact you'll get nowhere

the sheer magnitude of Yelled At i have been over the years for this take, and now here we are, too late for anything but the things we aren't allowed to talk about

People convince themselves that animals can’t feel or think but desperately believe that a computer program that spews out summaries is something magical and intelligent

A YES on cloture is a YES for the bill. Do not let anyone play games with you.

"Car dealership that disappears political dissidents" really does feel like the form America has been building to this whole time.
