I know there’s the war and the files, but 🧊 is still out there kidnapping citizens and terrorizing our communities. #burlington #vermont #us #news

Jon Thurston, y'all.

So apparently grammarly stole my fuckin identity

I have so many thoughts about lifting / strength training / putting on muscle as a Black woman-- especially because I *WANTED* to get bigger. I always hated being skinny and being read as "weak". (1/2)

Remember the mystery a few weeks ago, about how and why xAI was spitting out people's government names, even people who have only *ever* used a pseudonym professionally?

Solidarity with the workers!

No more Maine data centers for now, lawmakers say

this is not an amount of money any individual or household should be able to have and we have to abolish both billionaires as a group and the economic system that makes them possible

Like Bluesky sucks for various reasons (banning of Palestinians, censorship of trans users, etc) but it’s definitely not an “echo chamber”. There are plenty of people who disagree with me and who I disagree with on here.

on this team and gonna keep saying: behind the extremely thin veneer of concern and responsibility of anti-Bluesky takes is the desperate attempt to portray something that is obviously their problem as though it were our problem. nice try. go with God, have a blessed day

Per The Economist/YouGov, half of Americans support ABOLISHING ICE. Literally, "abolishing." yougov.com/en-us/articl...

#OtD 3 Mar 1991 Rodney King was brutally beaten by police in Los Angeles. Despite it being caught on film (almost unheard of in those days), the officers were acquitted, and the city went up in flames in what were the biggest riots since 1968 stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/1021...

Please take a moment to read about the absolute horror inflicted on a Tehran neighbourhood by the US/Israel in a double-tap strike against civilians. 20 people murdered. www.dropsitenews.com/p/tehran-ira...

If you like pretending like you were born yesterday, you work at the NY Times. If you like pretending like everyone else was born yesterday, you work at The Atlantic.

complete and total vindication

There’s this idea among liberals- that I blame Nate Silver for but it is older and more widespread- that if a thing polls bad the only thing you can do to succeed is abandon it- and it makes them seem like they have no moral compass and also shows that they can’t lead people to a better place

Okay…….. so why is he walking free I don’t think an apology is a get out of pedo jail free card

This is what the WNBA was taking chances with last season when it repeatedly allowed players to return to games following blows to the head that landed them in concussion protocol afterwards. Begging non-football sports to learn some recent NFL history and do better.

stay union strong, portland 😎 CONGRATULATIONS to Starbucks workers at the Sylvan Retail store, who just won their union!!! 💪

Meanwhile, British state media was fine with two Black men being called the n-word on live TV.

please support my work 🙏

A common fictional narrative shows people with nonconforming identities finding self-acceptance in towns and cities. This #LGBTQHistoryMonth, archivist Lottie Wood explores how author E. M. Barraud found the opposite, through rural work and the Women’s Land Army. merl.reading.ac.uk/news-and-vie...

This is really interesting and echoes some of the arguments about spaces of possibility in the “rural turn” in LGBTQ histories of the USA eg Skidmore’s “True Sex” nyupress.org/978147987063... 🗃️

"We owe conspiracy theorists a huge apology" No we fucking don't. They were talking about a secret conspiracy of gay trans Jewish lizard people. The Epstein files uncovered a conspiracy of rich, straight, white, right-wing Christian men, which these motherfuckers never even considered.

"The beatings will continue until social cohesion improves" Poster seen in Sydney denouncing NSW Premier Chris Minns who ordered a brutal police attack on Palestine protesters this week, justified under the totalitarian mantra of "Social Cohesion". via @radicalgraffiti.bsky.social

Some of these men engaging in Epstein files discourse make no pretense to be doing so because they give a shit about survivors of CSA and SA. I genuinely do not understand why men act like this. What do y'all get out of it? Does thinking you have upset a victim make you feel powerful?

DHS is demanding tech platforms identify people behind accounts that document ICE or criticize the government. EFF and ACLU are calling on the platforms to resist complying while court challenges play out.

While we’re at it can we please stop it with this Red State vs Blue State horseshit? That’s just another tool they use to keep us at each other’s throats instead of theirs.

billionaires should not exist and i don't care whether we accomplish this by taking their money or by doing the other thing

The thing is people don't have to start hyping Newsom now. Spend now looking for better candidates, not arguing over whether you're going to vote for someone who's not even a candidate yet. For fuck's sake, make it clear to the Dem establishment we don't have to take the mediocrity they give us.

I've been a curling fan for 25 years. In the years I've watched, there have been friendly rivalries, sometimes some gamespersonship, tons of excellent shots, but almost never beef. By the way, the two teams still shook hands after the game, as is the custom.

Listen, I came up in Lotrips & I even wrote RPS as recently as The Untamed, but it's one thing when it's on AO3 & LJ (this is how old I am) & quite another when you are putting it out there where it's causing harm to the people involved.

This is a truly sick list. Every single person represented on it actively and enthusiastically chose to participate in genocide.

There are more NFL Owners in the Epstein Files than attended the Super Bowl.

A 16 year old San Antonio kid was essentially killed by a football coaching staff during an offseason workout. Players were subjected to punishment drills and repeatedly noted the distress of their teammate, to no avail. After he collapsed, the rest of the team was compelled to continue the drill.

STOP KILLING KIDS this should not be controversial

Looks like Los Angeles high school students are scraping with Feds downtown today 👀👀 hundreds of students surrounded a group of fed pigs an forcefully made them retreat back into the detention center garage. Solidarity with the youth! 🖤

The reason that the evil fucks who run this world keep pulling evil shit is because… Who’s going to stop them? It isn’t any elected official I can tell you that much right now. If they were going to, they would have. A long time ago.

And then the asshole got away with killing her.

Don't ever feel regret about going "no contact."

ICE and CBP bastards are still in Maine. Yesterday, CBP arrested seventeen workers in Skowhegan, Maine. (Graphic from Maine Solidarity Fund's IG.)
