What we’re dealing with is more than just politics, which is an expression of deeper psychological processes. This is an existential battle that will determine whether the world becomes more cruel and more deadly or if we end cycles of abuse and realize a better future. That’s the whole thing.

The hidden basis of so much of what’s happening with rising fascism is about children, namely destroying developed support and even care for them. They’re being exploited, murdered in genocide, starved here and abroad. The education system is being completely destroyed.

embarrass the administration and they will do everything in their power to ruin your life, even if the embarrassment is the result of their own cruel overreach vicious sadistic bullies all the way down

The most maddening thing when talking about sex pests in media is that the genre actually doesn't matter. They're literally everywhere. And they love to form their own creepy networks. But if you respond in kind, somehow you're the problem.

the Epstein files are really devastating because they remind me of how many girls and women miss out on professional opportunities, mentorship and careers because of how many powerful, rich and influential men only view girls and women — and interactions with them — through the lens of sex

Summers in private: endlessly scheming with the world's most famous pervert to get a young female colleague whom he calls by a racist nickname to fuck him at conferences. Summers in public: "I don't see that many women in my field, it must be because they're bad at math"

Look if I let myself start crying about all the women, especially women of color, that I saw pushed out of physics and astronomy by people who subscribe to sexist and racist views, I truly might never stop The things I saw and heard the grief feels enormous and bottomless

I think often of the women in the Louis CK story—how they all left comedy and never went back, but he’s still going. It’s everywhere and it’s such a loss for them and for us—for things they’ll never make that we’ll never see.

Okay but my schadencoin is skyrocketing

There are major federal tasks forces operating still in Memphis, New Orleans, Miami-Dade, Phoenix, South Texas, still raiding homes, kidnapping people, black-bagging people from courthouses. If ICE does controversial things but doesn't *say* controversial things, it disappears from the news.

If you won’t say this, you should not hold public office

one actual lesson here is that some men will believe anything that 1) flatters their prejudices and 2) is said by something that looks like an attractive young woman

Amazing how many golden opportunities women are all talking about having missed because we didn't want to get groped or worse

Campaign strategy charts to help you fuck up corporations. What can I say, I had a cool job

Sorry not to post all day but I had to take care of my kids and do some of my "squalid" organizing, as a dude whose name rhymes with Mancil chose to describe my life's work

Swear to god, ICE could just announce they're leaving a city but not leave and the media will just stop covering that city completely even though ICE never left. It's what ICE and the media did with LA and they're doing it with Minneapolis too

people who are saying it's no big deal to be connected to Jeffrey Epstein are soooo close to getting to exactly what the problem is. "we all are friends with rapists and predators!" — yes! that's what I'm saying!!!!!!!

The glibness with which these people are dismissing what is, fundamentally, an extensive record of elite atrocities makes me think it’s better if I don’t finish this sentence

libertarians and radical centrists bursting through the wall like the kool-aid man to make sure everyone knows they think children can be hot

Oh dear oh no

over the next 3 years, be ready for seeing a lot of coverage of Republican lawmakers, business leaders, university leaders who did absolutely nothing to stall Trump (on the contrary) — about how *actually* they were wringing their hands all along. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/05/u...

Dating myself but I'm old enough to remember that even before 2017 raping underage girls was considered "illegal" and "uncool."

Hey, remember that time I said that pointing out that AI is giving bad data to ICE is missing the point because ICE doesn't actually care if the data is good? Check out how right I am.

I got into Yale undergrad back in 2004 and of COURSE I was going to go, no one says no to Yale. I went to a spring orientation for accepted high schoolers. The campus was plastered with a frat's jokey posters about how we were legally fuckable bc of CT's age of consent laws. I did not go to Yale.

cannot possibly convey how actually crazy-making it can feel, after spending 20 years monitoring all these orgs blaming sex workers and the internet for enabling a vast sex trafficking network, to now see Jeffery Epstein’s inbox

It is really infuriating to see how misogyny really does unite men across the sociopolitical spectrum. And, in so far as the Epstein files go, they sort women into two categories: fuckable or irrelevant. When they near a hint of accountability they complain about not being able to make women prey.

The pivot to video is a tax on women's time and dignity, I will die on this hill.

i will never stop thinking about the intersection of epstein and the shitty media men list

Really, Elon is sad because he is fundamentally incapable of human connection. Humor is a form of human connection. Love, empathy, trust, repair, and genuine affection are, too.

We have tons of information about Miller's white supremacist mindset from leaked emails in 2019. That has totally disappeared from our discussion of his goal of ethnic cleansing. That's why I wanted to speak to Michael Edison Hayden who reported out those emails.

Also exhausting: all the people claiming that the organizers will fail if they don't allow popular liberal men to become their public face, as if the entire purpose of all of this is to simply win elections and not to keep their loved ones and neighbors from being jailed, deported or killed.

I think most of the people talking shit about black bloc really haven't been around one and are just buying right-wing propaganda about violence. Like most of the time they're just polite anarchists standing around and not very scary. People change their minds when things get *dangerous* and

In my dissertation I wrote about the concept of the Golden Cage. People who hoard power are desperately miserable, trapped by their own minds in a system built on the myth that any of this is good for anybody. Anyways he just tweeted it out

These dipshits love to frame things as a binary choice between letting them do whatever they want, or the total annihilation of the human race.

Abolish ICE is too confusing. What we meant to say is that "no masks should be deployed in an arbitrary and capricious fashion."

Democrats caving on the absolute bare minimum? Huge surprise!

I am not exaggerating: Removing this webpage warning against fake autism "treatments" will kill autistic people. www.medpagetoday.com/neurology/au...

Trump Scolds Female Reporter For Being Adult

I fucking loathe these people with every ounce of my soul. Evil incarnate

Some US soldiers dropped Ace of Spades cards to mark kills in Vietnam. It's a move that got picked up by some white supremacist accelerationists, and now by ICE. They are dropping death cards when they disappear people and building concentration camps. We need to be very plain about the severity.

That mask is also popular with neo-Nazi accelerationist groups, which I think is really important to mention. Just like it's important to mention that ICE agents in Denver have been dropping Ace of Spades cards where they've kidnapped people. The white nationalist culture at work is clear.

Trump's constant degradation of female reporters is unsurprising but the press corps' collective decision to treat it as background noise is actually kind of sickening

Kiddies who made it out of the ICE dungeon report sighting a schoolmate. Before this, the school district had no information on their whereabouts. The family has now been connected with a lawyer. Youngsters who escape a govt dungeon are the only way to track abducted children? This is fine!

Really nuts how many men were like "Me Too went too far, and I need to email Jeffrey Epstein about it."

If you're thinking about Washington Post, "well, to hell with them, they did it to themselves," then count yourself on the side of management. Because, no, labor didn't do this to themselves, didn't grind the paper down, yank it right, & rip out its spine. That's capital. Now we'll all suffer.

just seeing some off-base “but activism HAS to be visible and CAN’T be faceless or anonymous” stuff, and it doesn’t seem to consider, well—which parts?

so I spend up to 80% of the time I work on a story on research and reporting, which you don’t see but get evidence of in the published story—which is not unlike the ratio of political education, relationship building, and planning to the action you see that I’ve seen in organizing and movement work

I hope people understand that this dynamic isn't JUST about the joy of harassing a target. It's about silencing critics, especially marginalized people. There comes a point where the target has to block everyone, and is as a consequence excluded from the conversation.

That's really my first time being subject to targeted harassment directed by a big account misogynist on Bluesky, and I gotta say. As much as it sucked, what a change from how that sort of thing usually goes on Twitter

I will just continue to say, opsec does matter, now more than ever. Please do not look to Johnny-come-lately "all the anarchists I don't like are feds, actually" adventurists for opsec advice. Especially when they've spent the past 48 hours saying it's good and virtuous to snitch-record protesters
