The problem isn’t just historic inequality and how it creates imbalanced systems or destroys capitalism through contradictions. It’s also what intentional precarity as a weapon does to people mentally and emotionally.

A trans teen in Iowa completed suicide after severe bullying by classmates and teachers. "Miles’ death came a day after a substitute teacher refused to use his preferred pronouns." It's the type of bullying @thefireorg.bsky.social and @aricohn.com support. www.thepinknews.com/2025/11/17/m...

This is a brilliant for of protest and can and should be adapted to many other uses. This is really really smart protest.

Trump gets: $5 billion in crypto deals, a $400 million plane, a $300 million ballroom, millions in deals from Facebook, Amazon, CBS.  Everyone else gets: higher prices for health care, electricity, and groceries.   Corruption, plain and simple.

In particular, I wish this part of history was more widely known. Two major forces tried to stop the Stonewall riots: the police and the gay establishment of the day. Both, in different ways, had to be fought and defeated to get anywhere. This is incredibly relevant today.

The part where they threatened to break a judge’s car windows should be a bigger story … they feel comfortable treating judges this way, which means they are being told that they can do literally anything to nearly everyone

For like ten years now but nobody listened

Simply put, capitalism has reached a point where such abusive things are necessary to continue the project that it rewards individuals willing to hurt anyone and do anything, creating a toxic feedback loop where the worst people are continually given the most wealth and power.

while I’m being cranky, access journalism needs to go. When the president does his “I’m alpha because I insulted you” thing somebody needs to fall on his sword and say “what the fuck is wrong with you, old man?” on a hot mic. the hero of the wizard of Oz is Toto.

Listen to the corporate centrists. They do not care about people. Their only priority is protecting the capitalist machine that feeds them. They’ll sacrifice anyone, normalize fascism, do anything if it means the checks keep coming in.

This short doc felt like a gut punch but it's very much worth watching www.youtube.com/watch?v=qLY_...

timeline cleanse

It has always been so obvious that the backlash to MeToo isn’t about whether the abuse is happening but whether people are allowed to want it to stop

Does Lake Superior know it’s a lake? 😎

President Trump walks past the flag at the White House, which has fallen to the ground 🇺🇸😣

Things are about get really night of the long knifey it appears.

1. The Trump administration has just quietly updated the State Department website to indicate that it may invalidate transgender people's passports. This comes a week after a SCOTUS ruling blocking lower rulings allowing trans people to update them. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Oh wow @reuters.com got the photo here:

For those who still think Chuck Schumer is merely incompetent or "out of touch"... nah, he's actively working to hide and reward a coup www.huffpost.com/entry/senate...

Ooh, @bigthink.com this exchange between @joscha.bsky.social and Jeffrey Epstein is so eugenics-smeared. Contemplating using climate change and involuntary euthanasia of infirm and elderly to cull the population… I think I’m going to be ill. From HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_026413

Everyone knew the fascists would eventually turn to open support for pedophiles, but man, that was quick.

The goal of the republicans plan is to create a socially Darwinian society that allows the most at risk to die without being seen or heard. It’s all social murder at scale and eugenics all the way down. The republicans are building the tools of mass death and painting them as public health.

Professors need permission from the g government to discuss anything related to race, gender identity, or sexual orientation. You know, like a free country like Stalinist Russia would do.

I've made it a point to live my life with joy as the best way to beat these people. I spend a lot of time with friends. I hike with my partner on weekends and soon will be skiing. I've been learning advanced cooking techniques. I've picked up playing the cuatro. These people only have Twitter.

Politicians from both parties work for the same "mafia state" and have essentially the same corporate donors; they work for those donors, not their constituents. Read everything this young woman has written.

Instead of paying for display ads, I’m going to hire attractive men in nyc to publicly read advanced copies of my next book

Ugly ass Hank Hill looking bitch 😂😂😂😂

please call your local dracula and tell them you dont support them feeding on your loved ones!

Chuck Schumer and the corporate Dems aren’t just not up for this fight, they have no intention whatsoever of doing anything that will actually address the material conditions that gave rise to fascism. More people are waking up to this and that’s hopeful, but that recognition is everything.

Still think Democratic leadership isn't just controlled opposition? To cave with no concessions the same week Democrats crushed the GOP in elections?

"Welcome home" Joe Biden to Donald Trump in January 2025

LET ME BE PERFECTLY CLEAR: DOJ DID ALL OF THIS TO TRY AND STOP PAYMENTS TO PEOPLE UNDER AN ANTI-HUNGER PROGRAM.

Voters tonight said fuck this fascist shit. With Mamdani, they showed incredible courage to believe in change and a better future. The work doesn’t end here, but everything begins with courage and if we are going to get out of this mess it’s going to take courage to believe in better.

Reverend David Black has a Bible open and is preaching to the police now, inviting them to join him in standing with the persecuted inside the detention center. "Which side do you think Jesus wanted his followers to be on?"

At some point sooner than later federal aviation will be impossible due to cascading failures stemming from staffing shortages and the ongoing shutdown.

Oh and for the liberals who didn’t see genocide for three years you actually don’t get to complain people are going to be doing things you think are wrong to survive and it’s time for you to the shut the fuck up or be labeled as collaborators.

You didn’t see anyone stealing food You didn’t see anyone stealing formula You didn’t see anyone stealing sanitary supplies You don’t see anyone stealing baby cloths and other items In this new fascist reality you didn’t see shit.

Give to your local food bank. Build mutual aid wherever and however you can. If we’re going to make something better it’s going to depend on reinvigorating a sense of interconnectedness. We’re all in this together and the fight depends on recognizing that.

1. A new guide has been released by some of the top names in Democratic politics encouraging Dems to act more like Republicans on "identity and cultural issues." It becomes clear exactly what that means: queer and trans people. I argue against it in my latest. Subscribe to support my journalism.

just circling back on this, ana

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice. This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

With More Perfect Union, we helped research this new, searchable list of the favors given to more than 150 top donors to Trump's inauguration and White House ballroom. Search by name to see regulations axed, cases dropped, and ambassadorships doled out: >> perfectunion.us/trumps-corpo...

The US Administration's private propaganda wing is now, also, a casino.

they enjoy generous salaries and free healthcare on our dime while doing nothing

NEW: we tested Zenni's anti-facial recognition glasses coating. "ID Guard" adds a pink sheen to the surface of the glasses that reflects the infrared light used by some facial recognition cameras. www.404media.co/zennis-anti-...
