i don't care that it's what Schumer and Jeffries want. it's also what any decent person wants. get Graham Platner tf out of here.

The most liberal approach to the Palestinian question from any mainstream Israeli party is that of South African Bantustans, which would actually be a major improvement over the current situation.

I don't care if you think this was baby's first protest for people. It was. Every protest and every form of protesting matters.

Donations have completely stopped because I’m exhausted, and I’am not reach out to anyone asking them to donate, I feel so drained. I am deeply upset. 😔

the end of Military City, USA! my hometown may be free yet.

Newsom and Pritzker are not on Trump's side, sure. But they treat Trump's enemies like their enemies, and they use state violence to defend Trump's crimes. So make of that what you will.

JB wants you to believe he’ll stop trmp when he won’t even stop the Illinois state police from attacking residents

it's not Netanyahu. it was never Netanyahu. the State of Israel needs to be destroyed.

It's fucking nuts that after two years of committing a genocide, the rest of the world acts like it's normal that Israel is still able to exercise total control over Gaza. It's akin to the allies allowing the SS to carry on controlling Auschwitz in 1945.

This year's Nobel Peace Prize winner was an apt choice. An islamophobic Zionist who rubs shoulders with Europe's far-right including Geert Wilders and Marie Le Pen and who has expressed support for a renewed Reconquista. Europe's direction of travel encapsulated.

So ok so public health is gone. The military is trying to kill us and the cops are mostly assisting a masked gestapo that is kidnapping people and sending them to concentration camps. What exactly is the point of the United States anymore?

topical

I've talked about it before, but with my job, we have helped people avoid and sometimes flee trafficking situations. We didn't do it by showing up with guns and marines. We did it by doing boring, behind the scenes tasks. You know how to help ppl in those situations?

I worry how many people on the left are susceptible to fantasies that mirror those of paranoid prepper survivalists. The entirety of this fight isn't something that resembles an action movie, and you're gonna be Jason Statham, and beating up enough people will create the victory we need.

honestly fu** you if you think gazans are only allowed to ask for help to cover their very basic necessities when they’re starving or being killed, calling a gazan a grifter for trying to secure her education proves that you don’t see gazans as humans who deserve to live equally.

And now they've deleted Sahar again. How much sorrow must they create before they are satisfied? How thirsty are they for blood? These monstrous bastards do you know what you do to a woman going through the greatest horror of her life when you take away her only lifeline? They will pay.

In a fight between Pritzker and and police, who is going to win? This is what happens when both parties allowed law enforcement to become one of the most powerful political actors in the country -- a taxpayer-funded political movement that wants to kill people.

The Fraternal Order of Police is on the side of MAGA and against the people they are supposed to be "policing." I think this says a lot to the people who insist local police are going to be "resistance." www.foxnews.com/us/national-...

twice a year the entire U.S. press becomes a marketing extension of a single billionaire-owned retailer, and nobody in any position of editorial power thinks it's weird or gross

Horrific reporting from the AP on the Myanmar families watching their kids starve to death from Trump and Musk’s aid cuts apnews.com/article/myan...

I know there's a lot to keep up with but someone has ALREADY been killed by ICE in Chicago, its not a theoretical question, and folks are dying in ICE detention and being disappeared constantly, when you say "someone's gonna get killed" youre actually washing the blood from their hands 😘✌️

i guess i gotta find my mastodon account again or something.

got a dozen or so complaints, but this is easily the worst one. it's sooooo much harder to reach other language speakers here.

Seven-year-old daughter's rocking back and forth in the backseat singing, "the riverbed will run red with the blood of the saints and the blood of the holy." I didn't expect the Kpop Demonhunter trajectory to finish with Zeal & Ardor, but i will admit that i'm happy it did.

you know what is totally cool to say? It is totally cool to say that every last confederate officer should have been hanged and every last plantation owner dispossessed and hanged after the civil war. It is totally cool to say it. it has no correlation with how you feel about politics in the present

"Why would it bow to antidemocratic pressures by placing a professor on leave without their request, consent, or involvement? That any university would do this is beyond comprehension and is cause for alarm about the future of academic freedom in Canada."

WOW. The lead plaintiff is a Latino man who's been here legally for 24 years. He was grabbed off the street by plainclothes federal agents who didn't even ASK about his status. He was detained overnight and only released once a supervisor realized he had been illegally arrested.

If one cop can get people wrongly caged for TWO HUNDRED YEARS just imagine how many thousands more years all American cops have cost us in the last 249 years of this cursed nation

my heart sinks. remember and honor Assata.

I like Jimmy Kimmel. I really do. I have no issues with him. I'm talking about something very different. Kimmel was only suspended. But he's back now. Karen Attiah and all the other Black journalists are still fired. Y'all do know how to fight, when you want to. But you don't really want to. 🤷🏿‍♂️

GAZA IS BEING EXTERMINATED… BEING PREPARED FOR ANNIHILATION AND EXECUTION THE WORLD HAS NEVER WITNESSED BEFORE… WE ARE NOW IN THE MOST DANGEROUS STAGE OF THE WAR… THIS IS OUR FINAL CALL.

Trey Reed was lynched. Full stop. Retaliation against Black folks is how racist white people make up after their infighting.

i have no interest in using rednote because quite frankly i'm old and never understood tiktok either. but i do genuinely think there's something to be said for the immense damage to american propaganda can be done by learning that people living under "totalitarian" china are just normal people

korean reporting is nightmarish on the conditions Korean workers were contained in

I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Hanan. Before this Hanan was a homemaker and her husband drove a taxi. Hanan asked me if I liked Bayern Munich- because they liked to watch soccer. They’re trying to keep their children Jihad, 16, Rima, 14, Abed, 11 and Sama, 8 alive.

Huh, The Comics Journal doesn't seem to have the images of Joe Sacco's "The Angel Laughs" up anymore... upsetting... Well, here's the full two pages of the comic:

I wrote my own Charlie Kirk obituary, and about valuing truth over manners: www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Elizabeth Spiers from the top rope!

This is what genocide looks like. This is deliberate starving, enfeebling, and spreading disease. Palestinians are being forced into concentration camps to ensure even more will suffer and die of causes that let the world pretend its hands are clean. Anti-zionism is love for children and humanity.

The only way you genuinely believe Kirk never harmed anyone is if you're cis, white, and think human rights are an academic exercise.

Gretchen Felker-Martin despite being an accomplished and extremely popular author getting her book canceled at DC for the lightest comment on a bad mans death is the culture that made me quit comics. Abusive white men get to be celebrated forever and everyone else is struggling to get a story in.

Yes, most Democrats are lapdogs to the Republicans. But don't take my word for it! www.pa.gov/agencies/dgs... www.colorado.gov/governor/new...

The truth of the matter is that if anyone but Charlie Kirk had been killed at today’s shooting, then Charlie Kirk would be out there right now using the shooting as pretext to deliver arguments designed to make sure that the next shooting would happen, and the next one, and the next, and the next.

Ezra Klein: Charlie Kirk practiced politics the right way Charlie Kirk: kill trans, cancel women, jail liberals, blacks are stupid, stone gays, MLK Jr was awful, murder muslims Go fuck yourself

“HE WAS A FATHER & A HUSBAND.” now hes neither.

every time there's political violence discourse i think about how jo cox was assassinated in broad daylight by a fascist who shouted "britain first" as he shot her, and now nine years later her party is dedicating every moment in power to placating the ideology of her murderer
