Remember that study where kids and teachers both felt like calling on girls 30% of the time was gender parity and ~48% was only girls ever getting to talk?

All the lib homophobia is disgusting, but ALSO I do find the blowjob nonsense funny in the headcanon it tells wherein we're being ruled by a very small set of disconnected monsters and all the giant boots that are thudding down on us are just derived from their mundane interpersonal sex drama.

there is no one single way to achieve your goals. a diversity of tactics is core AND those diverse tactics need to be used AT THE SAME TIME. non violent protest AND black block are complimentary to each other. each person's abilities to fight fascism are unique and highly valuable to everyone else.

@nlg.org Director of Mass Defense, Xavier de Janon, and members of the DFW Support Committee speak about the Prairieland Case and the Trump administrations ongoing threats against the left and "Antifa" thefinalstrawradio.noblogs.org/post/2025/11...

"don't call them ICE *agents,* they're not REAL law enforcement, they're thugs that come out of groups like the Proud Boys" okay but what if I told you that "real" law enforcement came out of those groups too, from the local to the federal? there's a reason people said "abolish cops" in 2020

British and Australian chemists have discovered a powerful new antibiotic called pre-methylenomycin C lactone, hiding in a well-known soil bacterium. This molecule kills drug-resistant bacteria without triggering resistance. buff.ly/YlXaONo #ShareGoodNewsToo

Spain, an EU member, has, as I'd often said, the second highest number of bodies (+120000) in "known" mass graves after Cambodia. But, often forgotten, we we don't know how many in mass graves from Maoist China, Stalinist Russia, Suharta's massacre of Indonesian Communists, Congo etc

The reason this doesn't happen is that the Trump administration has so effectively dehumanized non-white people (particularly suspected immigrants) that the media and public don't view this incident as the atrocity it is.

I'm sorry, I'm still having a hard time getting over that the owner of the NY Times is in the Epstein files thing and they haven't even acknowledged this in any reporting.

a specter is haunting the libs of bluesky, the specter of anarchism

About today’s “GenZ protest” in Mexico: foreigners please be aware that this was not rooted in the movement that originated in Nepal, this was a narrative takeover by the Mexican far-right. Not a protest, not a social movement: a display of the political rot within a deeply disenfranchised society.

Every attack on Protestantism these days is "it's tacky shit by low-culture people just winging it; insufficiently hidebound to tradition, hierarchy or scripture." ...which is, annoying, because it amounts to a serious hardcore defense of Protestantism.

If women are underrepresented in STEM, it's at least partly because men like this offer mentoring, then embarrass themselves by assuming their mentees must be into them, then decide the best solution is to cut ties, which sends the signal to other faculty that the mentee must not be good enough.

Anyway, it’s been an open secret for a long, long time that significant numbers of the mostly men professors at Harvard not only harass grad students but undergrads as well. They hold their power over students heads to try to coerce them into going along with the harassment, & sometimes also assault

I mention sometimes how investigating local governments turned me into an anarchist. This is a major example. Black community tries to get a pool fixed? "Change is slow," multi-year process then never happens. Chamber of commerce wants something evil and costly? Happens within months, even weeks.

FINALLY—HYPERPROTESTANTISM

The emails have Summers reporting to Epstein about his attempts to date a Harvard economics student & to hit on her during a seminar she was giving.

"There is, I believe, a substantive sense in which fascism really did emerge from (individualist) anarchism, and that’s as our antithesis." - @rechelon.bsky.social c4ss.org/content/56480

UPDATE: A grand jury has returned a superseding indictment, adding seven new defendants to the Texas "antifa" case, including six charged with providing material support for terrorists, in addition to two who were already indicted. 1/2 www.justice.gov/usao-ndtx/pr...

Listen to this Border Patrol agent cry about how he's going to be DOXXED after being arrested for drunkenly barging into a woman's restroom with a loaded gun, demanding a date from the woman inside, and then punching the arresting officers.

Yes, the man is manifestly stupid, but he's also consistently acting like someone whose advisors have assured him all meaningful resistance has been defeated and permanent rule until he dies of old age is a locked in fait accompli.

When an "abolitionist" non-profit's "visioning" weekend retreat would pay for 4 months of our jail support program... But a key part of organizing is letting go of resentment, right? Fuckin hell.

nature is bad and aristotle was wrong

abolish the family, abolish fathers in particular, abolish the social category of sex, children are an oppressed class, liberation will not be achieved while the social class of cis Manhood is allowed to exist, abolish whiteness, destroy the state, destroy capital, kill god

I've always wanted to try an Irish Spice Bag (veganized) and finally did! It's correct. I regret ever having any doubts.

“Many of the women say that they were pressured to have unwanted or unnecessary gynecological procedures while in the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement”

On Nov. 15, 2015, Minneapolis Police killed unarmed 24-year-old Jamar Clark. The community responded by occupying the police's 4th Precinct for 18 days before the encampment was evicted. Featuring unreleased footage and a timeline of events is Unicorn Riot's documentary, 18 Days - Coming Dec. 2!

BREAKING: The City Council voted unanimously to pay $17M to a man who spent 27 years in prison after he was convicted of a double murder he did not commit, bringing the total cost of settling 9 lawsuits naming disgraced former CPD Detective Reynaldo Guevara to $112M, records show. @wttw.bsky.social

Identifying fascists is a thorough, methodical, and verifiable process.

To be fair, as a Pacific Time patriot I can't be fucked to know which way the sun rises or sets or what other time zones even are. Everyone knows if we had the throne of the empire, we'd be similarly callous. GMT? Sounds made up.

patton oswalt has been suspended from bluesky for saying that megyn kelly should be fed to a woodchipper for justifying the sexual abuse of minors

Justice for Ava.

My *MOST* woke opinion?? In many deep ways the word "fuck" functionally means "rape" -- it signifies sex in a violent denigrating way. "Go fuck yourself" "get fucked" etc. Thus to casually use "fuck" as we do is a reaffirming, however miniscule, of rape culture. Less woke: it's probably fine tho.

We are going Super Social Justice Blue Hair and Pronouns. We are calling things "gay" and "queer" as compliments and honorifics. We are proudly being buzzkills and harpies and feminine and vegan and giving a sincere fucking shit about the environment and climate and well-being of the community.

"my least woke opinion is---" That's enough. We've had enough people indulging in the "thrill of a little conservatism", as a treat. Of considering reactionary thought to be a salacious and taboo in a world descending into reactionary mania. Give me your MOST woke opinions. We're bringing it back.

leftists who mock youth liberation end up sounding indistinguishable from reactionaries very quickly because opposition to youth liberation *is* reactionary (see also: anarcha-feminism backlash) most people who consider ourselves on the left are just playing a team sport with no deeper principles

I do not understand how anyone goes through life without this reality just completely poleaxing them from time to time. I mentioned it to my brother once and he was "fuck Beth, that's grim, you need to go outside" and it's just like "this is outside too!!!" How the fuck do you turn aside???

when you understand that patriarchy views children as sexual property it all makes sense. there's no hypocrisy. exposure to queerness & transness threatens to "corrupt" the father's property, to "lead them astray" into self-determination, to taint their future sexual value. CSA is permissible as >

remember that the OG "PC run amok" chattering class moral panic was in part outrage over the novel concept of *date rape* & expansion of consent violation to include emotional distress & nonphysical abuse of power ie they were upset "political correctness" was now defining the dennis system as rape

In a court victory from the 2021 resistance to Line 3 pipeline construction in MN, a federal appeals court ruled that police officers who use excessive force on protesters are not entitled to qualified immunity and cannot use excessive force to prompt compliance. unicornriot.ninja/2025/federal...

In a scientific debate, I do not need to give you a *convincing argument* to accept the truth. Whether *you* are *convinced* is immaterial. What matters is who demonstrates the better evidence in favor of their claim, and who the scientific consensus embraces. Your obstinacy does not matter.

SCOOP: In text messages sent in 2017, Jeffrey Epstein appears to position himself as a middleman between president Donald Trump’s administration and Microsoft cofounder Bill Gates. He seemingly represents himself as passing on information directly from Trump to Gates through an intermediary.

"Lastly, there is the Sokal Hoax, wherein many different nonsense papers were sent to continental philosophy journals." What is even happening here? The "vibe" of this history has so completely diverged from anything like a factual accounting. benthams.substack.com/p/is-contine...

The notion abusers need to resort to conspiracies and subterfuge is more comforting than the truth that many people will readily look the other way when confronted with sexual violence if doing otherwise would even slightly inconvenience them

New York Times social media guidelines prohibit expression suggesting partiality on things like ICE, execution of foreigners in fishing boats, or whether law is a thing. However, tipping off notorious serial pedophiles about other reporters is absolutely fine.

broke: the state exists to protect people from the worst among us bespoke: the state IS the worst among us, given codified power and the monopoly on legitimate violence

we live in rape culture. children are not, despite a powerful discourse of "taboo sex crimes," exempt. they are the most powerless class of people in a social system were power us expressed and practiced through sexual violence. this is the norm, not the exception.

it's because the notion that child sexual abuse is some uniquely taboo universally reviled übercrime for which men can easily get their lives/careers ruined is a myth and always has been. it's always been tacitly permitted, winked at, ignored, excused, and downplayed across all sectors of society.

Today is a good day to remember, and to say, that the #MeToo movement was right, and was righteous, and has been vindicated over and over again. There was no overreach. There was no excess. There was no they-went-too-far. So much work remains to be done.

Look if you don't want a ruling class made of pedophiles the easiest way to do it is to make sure you don't have a ruling class! It's just that simple! Moreover, ICE must be destroyed
