It's not the point of anything but every photo and video of Kash Patel is hilarious, he perpetually looks like a muppet that was just unexpectedly turned into a real boy by a malicious fairy and has no idea how to use a human body to blink or fart or breath or any of it.

Us Brits shouldn't be complacent, by the way. Look at the way Starmer has been labelling Palestine protestors terrorists. Do you think he'd stand up for them if the Met executed them in the street or do you think he'd defend the Met and talk about domestic terrorism?

Reminder: only 21% of Americans voted for the current administration. While trying to convince abuse enablers that abuse is evil can serve some purposes, it's a very slow process. We might want to focus less on arguing and more on organizing the other 79% of Americans.

“Are you okay?” What words to die on. What a life to have lived, that his last words were concern. Not for himself, but for a stranger. May we all live with such honour. May no more have to die with such honour.

At the end of the day, the Black Lives Matter era was about whether people should be killed in the street, and lots of people decided yeah and put those little blue flags on their cars. It spread to everyone because it stopped for no one.

If you want something to ward off doomerism, look to Minnesota. Americans are capable of standing up to oppression. Organization, community care, and a stiff upper lip. Also I'm reminded I need to sign up for rapid response training.

The visible streetcorner stuff is incredible, but the underground networks of grocery deliveries, laundry orders, and other home-to-home actions are truly incredible - I don't know a single person in town who isn't plugged into something in some capacity.

Sixteen years ago, the Supreme Court decided that corporations are people under the First Amendment. Today, sold-out politicians block progress on all fronts to appease their corporate donors. Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day.

Anywho, things are messy. We are both complicit in terrible things while also being subjected to horrors. We perpetrate harm and also experience it.

the best time to disentangle our relationship with the world superpower led by an insane right-winger was 20 years ago, the second-best time is now

Accepting that the just world falacy is false leaves people in the middle open to serious psychological harm. The fact that you and your way of life are in existential danger is terrrifying, so people who lack the tools often hide from it to avoid the damage and stress this knowledge brings. 1/2

If people don't actually use the shitty AI we keep violently thrusting at them, the bubble will pop, and our wasteful investments into water guzzling, anti-human infrastructure will bankrupt us. Despite spouting shit about free markets/consumer first, we have decided you WILL use our slopgorithms.

This is what you do when you’re running death camps

Also hate "this is not about politics." Sorry people, you have to GROW UP. EVERY DAMNED THING IS POLITICAL. Everything. The word people are searching for is PARTISAN.

ngl I’m really missing my emotional support rules-based international system and weighted western alliance blanket.

When we said NATO wasn't working we were derided. When we said a nuclear weapons system relying on the US is dangerous we were called stupid. The truth is the establishment are more interested in kissing US feet than keeping the UK safe. It's time for a rethink.

Celebrating little victories. I've had a samefood for the past few months that is very bad for me, gives me headaches and can only be bought fresh from one store. The samefood cycle broke today! It's disgusting! I don't have to eat it again for a very long time. Please clap.

So nice that the Wangland Greens want to be more like the Scottish Greens. Long may it continue

also to folks who think it's ok to use AI in any capacity: our electricity bill went up several hundred $ and we were barely scraping by already. Im thankful not to be near a data center, but we're still feeling it. youre not the only person thinking "but it's just one image!"

people on line are acting like convincing americans that trump is bad will make him stop warmongering and i gotta say we do already know he is bad because we do live under his government and it sucks shit

I’m seeing lots of people on here misunderstand the purpose of ICE watch. It’s de-escalation. And it’s grounded in the social science of violence. 🧵

if it took "oh god, they could come after someone like me" to finally get you to a place of action, welcome you are going to be asked to sit with that and reflect, and that's okay! it shouldn't offend you. it should motivate you to expand your analysis on other current events as well. that's good!

We worked together internationally to stop acid rain, the ozone hole and y2k bug.

Gas cap in the finn. High beams next to the clutch. Gears on the column.

Remembering today that having your heart broken is a necessary step on the path to becoming fully human. Whichever heartbreak is your first, it’s probably critical that a state break your heart so that you can develop a political imagination. If this is your first, I’m sorry and also welcome.

Trump started it. Reform and Tories are at it too. And Labour already heading in that direction. All cruel, potentially deadly and does nothing to fix the cost of living crisis.

I cannot emphasize enough the importance of finding one constructive real world offline thing you can do to use your particular skills in service of fighting fascism as a psychological defense against the constant drumbeat of fuckery

Hard to believe that the government, led by a former DPP, doesn’t know this. Which would mean, if James is right, that the UK government is turning a blind eye to the production of child porn rather than risk upsetting Musk and the US government. And that would be an extraordinary scandal.

Domestic violence is such a clear and consistent indicator of extremism and further violence that it should be considered basically the greatest moral failing and social crisis of our time

the lack of air filtration in schools is not just a bad idea, people in charge should be held criminally responsible since in most of the world not sending your child to school is a crime and school-borne viruses, especially covid, are causing extreme amounts of damage to children and their families

head of chiquita banana wanting to ask the forbidden question now that trump is overthrowing governments for oil companies

Starmer and Farage both drape themselves in flags but once again it's really clear where their loyalty really is. It's Trump first. They will always be on the side of the super rich and powerful - no matter how heinous the crime. This is not patriotism. It's subservience.

Today is a great example of why we need a gloval Magnitzki act...the ability in each country to specifically sanction and seize the property of the LEADERS who carry out crimes against humanity, war crimes and corruption. Trump International Balmedie, Turnberry, Trump International Doonberg...

im used to waking up to insane news but "the us kidnapped the president of venezuela which we are now at war with" kind of. tops it all? im not really sure what to say? except that giving a madman and his cronies a huge army was a bad idea.

When I went before Aberdeenshire Council to defend elderly residents from forced removal, I disputed the narrative provided-with written evidence that the chair was aware of process issues for 5 years. The chair warned me to watch my language and tone, voted to 'evict', and wonders why she's hated.

It's 630 New Years day. My 3 year old just requested and made a green salad. I'm feeling a mixture of pride and guilt at the pile of halloumi fries I ate for dinner

Happy New Year to my fellow Radical Left Scum 🥳 Let’s be even more feral and unholy in 2026 🥂

Score one for “fuck you, make me”

Someone new to my village lost their budgie this year (flew out an open door). It took a week, but we tracked it down. We also know the names of the little shits who are stealing the dog poo baggies. No cameras, no HOA fees, no dystopia, just community...and a lucky damn bird.

This mornings nap is dedicated to all those people who are successfully recovering from surgery for long-term illness, make important plans finally, and then get taken out by their other longer-term disability. Celebrating 6 weeks post op with a functioning digestive system...and a migraine.

Jon Stewart and the pod save guys have one value to society- they present what the far right, right and spineless centre are talking about so you dont have to waste your time/mental space. They're terrible when it comes to things like having progressive values or solidarity with marginalised folk.

Not to be controversial but I think we should use tools and resources to make people's lives less miserable instead of more

Let's choose kindness in 2026. youtu.be/lopMMkz0law

Madcap plan has shown my genius-to the three people who live in my home. My bi-annual cupboard/pantry/freezer clean and stock take was not going to happen while recovering from abdominal surgery with a hyper 3 year old at home. Till I realised-do you know who likes to empty cupboards!

Mass deportations don’t protect working people—they weaken labor standards, silence organizing and empower bad employers. An attack on immigrant workers is an attack on ALL workers. @jimmy-iupat.bsky.social

Just me, eternally screaming about Just Transition fails. Instead of handing cash to private firms for itty bitty job promises, buy the damn firm, use it to support community/smaller projects, use it as a training ground for high-skilled jobs, expand and re-invest.

every article about Elon that doesn’t start with the fact that he starved thousands of children to death is malpractice this man should not be walking around free let alone as a respectable member of society

Currently home recovering from surgery 4 weeks ago....but living with a virus monkey who likes to sneeze on my face...so I've got something. But I can still function decently-for someone recovering from surgery. How does one tell whether THIS is their bout of monster flu, or if it's still coming?

Look man I don’t think the people being poisoned by data centers really care if you remove the generated assets before shipping, and I don’t really care if you “only” use the machine that stole my shit and convinced teens to off themselves for internal PowerPoints. Cool motive. Still bullshit tho.

The older I get, the more my politics mature from childish, naïve beliefs like "the world is complicated and leaders have to make hard decisions" to more serious, adult principles like "hurting people is bad and helping people is good."
