A year-on update for my GoFundMe: still raising money. To recap, foundation repairs I knew would be needed turned out to be more extensive than I thought. The cost is (at least) $10,000 higher than the largest loan I could take out. Anything helps. #MutualAid www.gofundme.com/f/3jwdqs-hel...

“Once you decide that a single vulnerable minority can be sacrificed, you’re operating within a fascist logic,” they said. “That means there might be a second one you’re willing to sacrifice and a third, a fourth. Then what happens?”

Was out last night and listened to a dude describe the entire timeline of 70s white separatist/supremacist movements from Ruby Ridge to the Waco siege to his date

Outside of the obvious, you can tell all the people in Epstein emails are sociopaths because they apparently loved getting and sending emails

Just referred to Marx and Engels as the Statler and Waldorf of economics and let me tell you it was a hit among the buds

NEW — Rashida Tlaib and 20 other members of Congress have introduced a resolution to officially recognize Israel's genocide of the Palestinian people. It notes that between 10/23 and 11/25, the US sent $21,700,000,000 in military aid to Israel and authorized $30,000,000,000+ in new weapons deals.

Anyway: pornographic art and performance is good, people have a right to the vast majority of their kinks, and it is ridiculous that consenting adults are finding those rights strangled by big tech and payment platforms

I don’t know, America’s military guys have always known most the time what they’re doing is bullshit, is wrong, shouldn’t be happening but imagine being told by the dumbest man alive to go kill fishermen. There’s no way to rationalize that. Not even in the normal bullshit “we fight for freedom” way.

Wild to me that these people obviously have no plan except Kristallnacht 2 and make money with magic

This woman had a whole movie made about her sexual harassment case. White supremacy brain is wild, man

I love the flavor variety for baby carrots: normal carrot, bad, cigarette

Saw Predator: Badlands last night and stoked Trachtenberg got to give us more traditional Predator with Prey that fucking rules before sending the series off in this new direction that also fucking rules

Winter is a bad season for me (can no longer comfortably blast the worst music you’ve ever heard driving with the window down)

oh my god

Starbucks workers this Thursday 11/13 are starting a long strike to win a first union contract *** NOBODY SHOULD BUY ANYTHING FROM STARBUCKS AS LONG AS WORKERS ARE STRIKING ANYWHERE IN THE COUNTRY*** Consumer boycotts are very powerful when combined with workplace militancy

Lots of shit for this but it absolutely makes sense that the guys writing this for Amazon would take the Bond history literally. I personally would love to see them human centipede each incarnation into whatever pro-colonial department of war crossfit version they’re cooking up

“Excuse me for libbing out” you’re not excused. Please stop

ahem

The best thing you can do for yourself next year is to join an organization if you can.

“Leftists hate America” brother I hate imperialism and genocide and the police state and endless war and watching people reduced to the value of what their bodies can produce while the dumbest shit imaginable is elevated by the worst people alive. America currently embodies this.That can be changed

The level of normie involvement and investment in Chicago in what is essential a city-wide* decentralized grassroots mutual aid program of resistance to ICE/CBP — it is truly a remarkable inspiration in these otherwise awful times.

“Vote blue no matter who” is a psychotic strategy that was only ever gonna breed the worst possible people to be in power at the worst possible moment. A generation of the most feckless cronies who stand for nothing in an already feckless system whose only interest is wealth accumulation

Amazing moment in time right now where people who yelled at us for sticking to genocide as a red line are now also disgusted with Democrats and threatening not to vote for them. So your health insurance becoming more expensive was your red line?

Effectively telling your leaders “I will vote for you whether or not you represent my values and beliefs and fight for those things on my behalf” perhaps wasn’t the best strategy

What did you think they would do to you after you told them genocide was okay? You watched them sponsor the terror and slaughter of the people of Gaza. You saw it livestreamed on your phone. You saw children carrying their siblings' body parts in bags. And you sent them donations and endorsed them.

And I've been doing politics for long enough to know clearly that the entire Senate Democratic caucus agreed to this decision to fold. Open your eyes. The 8 who "broke" did so with the complete blessing of Schumer and their colleagues. You don't have to play along because this is not a game. The end

At some point you either allow yourself to be radicalized and we all do the collective hard work of building something new, or you wonder why a system in which the opposing party votes to allow the reigning fascists to take away healthcare because their planes were delayed doesn’t ever get better

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer. He is a computer safety researcher. And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine. In under 1600 words. aphyr.com/posts/397-i-...

at some point you’d think people would see the pattern here but I don’t know man

Me and the boys all hanging out at the brewery outdoor seating area with our copies of Blood Meridian. Not a big deal, ladies

I particularly hate the suggestion there's some sort of grand bargain in which trans rights are given up in exchange for _______. No one is offering such a thing. No one would change their vote to Dems after that. The argument exists solely to justify throwing trans people under the bus.

He’s gonna post about a book he never read in 24 hours
