It's not a national suicide because the perpetrators don't believe they will die. In fact, they are seeking their own immortality in multiple ways that we can see and not see.

“In October 2025, both her SSI and Medicare benefits were halted, and she was told her immigration status was under review. Although Rakestraw was born in the U.S. and has never once traveled or lived outside the country, federal officials still raised questions about her legal status.”

Oh come now. Where is your whimsy?

Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs

Hard to come away with three elections in the Post-Trump Era and not side eye Dems for having no other plan moving forward but "You're going to accept whatever we do, or you're going to fawn for it while an erstwhile school shooter addicted to human blood nukes places at random."

So I get the impulse here— I'd love to Not Be Dealing With All Of This But what's the point of this The Dems' refusal to deescalate in Gaza under Biden caused *both* Harris's loss *and* laid the runway for Israel to expand its aggressions even further.

Not reported by the NYT, but in 2023 Goldman’s wife also liked a tweet asserting that rape is “rooted at every level of the Arab society.” Constituents raised the alarm at time but were ignored and dismissed.

Stripping anonymity from the internet would constitute one of the most sweeping rollbacks of civil rights in recent history. It will allow for unprecedented levels of mass surveillance and censorship. Call your congress people TODAY

People obsess about the Epstein files like they're some weird mystery to be solved, but will not grapple with the societal norms and power structures (i.e. misogyny) that give abusers license to do all manner of ish every day. No conspiracy needed, friends. This is the society we openly live in.

Ah yes, the real victims in all this.

RIP to hundreds of Iranians and one American vacation

I saw a comment the said we aren’t “angry enough.” But all we are is angry. Our veins circulate it like acid. It cracks our sternums. It poisons and paralyzes us. We hiss and spit at each other, all impotent, helpless rage. We don’t need more anger. We need more direction.

Now how did I miss that she passed??

Size 10s are better to stomp you with. 🥰

Me! 🙋🏾‍♀️ My recipe uses half what a typical one would. Perfect balance for me.

Art is valuable…and not solely as reactive “self-care” as a “reward” for doing “enough activism” on a seesaw ad perpetuum.

One of the repercussions of ppl not viewing artists as ‘workers’ + viewing art solely as frivolity is when fascists come for artists (via gen ai and other exploitation), so few people seem to care, including many people who’d otherwise declare themselves progressive and critically engaged on labor.

People overseas love their kids just as much as you love yours. Your kids aren’t more special just because they were born on US soil

Welp, once again. Like clockwork.

When a company in an industry built on hype tells you that a use case is a bad idea—and actually dangerous—that means it’s a *catastrophically* bad idea.

you do not have blanket permission to treat people like they're subhuman because they have more followers than you, a verified account, or bylines in a specific publication. we are also people. we have feelings & opinions, which are sometimes wrong. that doesn't mean you get to behave like animals.

i'm a black freelancer and a lot of my internet friends are black writers -- and black women & femmes. you all hate us. you talk to us like we're beneath you, contemptible, and complicit in our own oppression and yours. and then you're confused when we don't want to engage with you.

Please remember to support independent journalism so there'll be real media out there not owned by the Ellison empire or by Bezos. It's no panacea, but it's vital. We've built @boltsmag.org as a place to cover the bricks of local power without that corporate oversight.

Investigative Post obtained this video of Border Patrol abandoning Nurul Shah Alam, the nearly blind Burmese refugee who was found dead www.investigativepost.org/2026/02/26/t...

When you realize that Warner Brothers said "Delete that shit" and the BBC chose to keep it...baby this is why I'm not debating nothing about modern racism. Full grown adults made a lot of choices

Honestly, this is the kind of organic messaging @prisonculture.bsky.social was talking about earlier. We don't have to wait for the media to take up these issues on their own. Make it all about these issues.

The utterance of "A.I.'s inevitability" is one of the most stark pure performatives I've seen in my time working in higher ed. Every time it is uttered, it is clearly not reporting a fact about the world but instead actively trying to create the reality it narrates. We can and must refuse.

Y’all, this is AI. 🙃

Delroy Lindo told Vanity Fair that he and Michael B. Jordan “did what we had to do” while presenting but that he also wished “someone from BAFTA spoke to us afterward”

“You’re so gracious™️ when enduring racism!” = “Thanks for making me feel comfortable about something I’ll never experience; my comfort is always most important at all times; assessing your behavior and responses—without regard for what harm you internalize and die early from—is fun for me.” - 🤡

You, an individual, cannot "fix" the whole world. You can act at the scale of your life. You should act at the scale of your life.

Not so fun when the rabbits got the g/n

Not enough liberals understand that anti-leftism helped get us in this political mess.

For the love of god if you're asked to be on a jury for a powerful psycho don't admit you hate him. Pretend you don't know him or are neutral.

DOCTOR Rümeysa Öztürk has earned her PhD!!

“I have this [unpopular] hot take: that post-Omicron variants are more dangerous than previous variants... I'm not talking about…acute respiratory failure. I'm talking about cumulative damage to your health. Because the more times you catch…Covid… the more hits you get—it's a hit to your system…”

“They keep telling us it's milder. Maybe in terms of acute disease…because it does have a weaker tropism for the lungs. So it doesn't attack the lungs as much as previous variants, but unfortunately it attacks the blood vessels just as much, and it attacks the brain maybe even more than before…”

Important to note that many people’s immune systems never recover and a single Covid infection (yes even if ur fully vaxxed) can leave you with permanent immune damage for life and there’s no cure for it.

I hope New Yorkers will challenge Mamdani about this. Too often, people feel they need to be absolutely for or against a politician — ignoring their missteps or throwing them out with the bathwater. You can like and/or believe in someone and still challenge them to deliver on their promises.

TikTok truly does not care when I tell it I’m not interested in any live streams. Completely ignores me every time. 🙃😭
