I personally think everyone who said trans people were groomers owes us all an apology. Turns out it's the billionaires and politicians who were telling you it was us.

You can always check here to find some bail funds to support: www.communityjusticeexchange.org/en/nbfn-dire... - not all bail funds are part of the network but all who are part of the network are vetted.

I remember this from the run-up to the 2016 election. we were apoplectic that there was no coverage of this case in the NYTimes or CNN. They buried it. #RapeCulture

No need to imagine. The country incarcerates children as young as 9 years old daily in youth prisons and jails. Those children are routinely sexually and physically assaulted and also emotionally tortured. They are fed terrible food and given barely any education. This country has done this for yrs.

the feds gassed kids and old people in portland today

Mayor Mamdani names criminal justice reformer Stanley Richards as NYC’s new Department of Correction commissioner Richards is the first formerly incarcerated person to lead the city’s jails system @gothamist.com @wnyc.org gothamist.com/news/mamdani...

Epstein is the most garish and harrowing manifestation of this but oligarchy makes life miserable in a thousand other ways. A core point of democracy is that no one should have so much power that they can make themselves everybody's problem. We should have a political party that believes that

Crunch Fitness issued guidance to their employees to not interfere with ICE raids, to not hide people, and to roll over and do everything ICE says. They don’t even say to verify that they have a warrant. Fuck ICE and every cheesedick on their payroll. 😘

Audre Lorde, in a 1989 commencement address, said, "Remember this, despair is a tool of your enemies. That rumor, 'You can’t fight City Hall,' is circulated by City Hall. Facing the realities of our lives gives us the motivation for action, it gives us the power to change. You are not powerless."

Wow, buckle up. The early vote just came in Tarrant County, and Democrat Taylor Rehmet is up 56% to 44% in the special election for a Texas state Senate seat. This is a seat that went for Trump by 17%. This would be a huge upset. This is already 45K votes.

Bitch ass Nazis need to wear masks but I spent two years dealing with people threatening to kill my family because I posted on main that people should get a COVID vaccine.

These were the people who held the careers of female scholars in their hands . This is who was shaping or epistemological world

I would love to take a course like this

ok this is pretty fun

LMAO sound UP

My friend can’t admit to employers that she’s a former sex worker but every rich asshole on the eastern seaboard took turns vacaying on Pedo Island

This is so fucked.

Hundreds of Bellingham cyclists braved the rain Saturday to ride in memory of Alex Pretti, a Minneapolis cyclist who was killed by federal agents earlier this month.

In 2023, CBP killed a young Black girl that they imprisoned by incarcerating her and failing to provide the needed medical care for her sickle cell anemia You cannot reform this apparatus which kills people no matter which party is in charge Anadith Danay Reyes Alvarez, who was 8 years old

Elon is still claiming this morning he never went to Epstein parties despite emails showing him begging to attend Epstein parties on his island.

Another BIG story that’s only not a huge headlines because of…EVERYTHING ELSE. And Trump gets a gold FIFA statue and a peace award as a thank you.

Dude. We read the email. You were begging for an invite to the next “party.” You “cleared your calendar.” The mendacity. I hope there are some folks posting the email on X.

This is such an excellent article. One that Democrats need to read if they want Doug Jones to win.

@rikiwilchins.bsky.social 2026 Jan 31: J Michael Bailey, author of the notoriously transphobic The Man Who Would Be Queen is recruiting parents/kids on social media for a study that would back the infamous "they grow out of it" & "80% "desist" pseudoscience myth. Shame on you, Northwestern!

Abolish ICE

Kansas has passed a bill that would revoke trans people's drivers licenses, forcing them to surrender them for replacements. It also creates trans bounty hunters that can sue trans people for money. It goes to the gov, who will veto, but R's can override. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Hospitals in Gaza said Israeli strikes killed at least 30 Palestinians including several children on Saturday, one of the highest tolls since the October ceasefire, a day after Israel accused Hamas of new truce violations. https://to.pbs.org/4qbkUv9

Today seems like a good day to re-up my cheat sheet on understanding complicity in the Epstein files open.substack.com/pub/asharang...

"Don’t let them lie to you about how a strike happens: the many hours of organizing to build trust and capacity among a group of workers, and the collective decision that leads to that green light."

One thing I realized is the timing of the pol board being opened after the Epstein meeting is that it occurred one month into the occupy wall street protests that 4chan played a role in promoting and organizing. It's like the oligarch class wanted to takeover that ability to serve their interests.

The public library is an essential component of a 21st-century left political project as an example of both what is already available to us and what can be improved upon in the future. The library is a public good, and it is free as a public service. I want more people to make the connections.

A few pages of Jeff Sutton telling Chad Mizelle to shove it — repeatedly — is definitely a good little read that all the more clearly illustrates how unfit Mizelle was for public office.

I remember sitting around in college watching my friends fuck around on 2chan, the Japanese message board 4chan is based on. It was like, a message board about anime and porn and anime porn. It was not taking down nations. If I had a Time Machine, Past Me would never have believed Current Me

St. Peter Minnesota's police scorecard is better than most police departments in the US. There is no racial disparities in killings by St. Peter police, because... St. Peter police haven't killed anyone in the last 13 years.🤷🏿‍♂️ And St. Peter has a higher percent of Black residents than California.

Cities like Cork, Dublin & London have continued to have massive peaceful marches in solidarity with the Palestinians, whose genocide is the worst human rights crime of the 21st C. London has consistently turned out 1m ppl marches so regularly that police & govt tried to stop them.

Worth reading the very short 3-page order, especially for the image & text the judge added below his signature.

Collective action works. Sustained pressure works. Reminding them who they work for WORKS. @resist.bot @5calls.org make it easy to contact your congressfolk.

In Skagit County, more than 100 Burlington-Edison High School students left class around 1 p.m. Friday to protest ICE actions in Minneapolis and across the country. Around the same time, hundreds more Western Washington University students in Whatcom County did the same.

Thank you to everyone showing up everywhere. We the people 💜💜💜

I don’t know if this is true, but it is true that lawyers are a different kettle of fish than lots of professions, because on top of any matters of conscience, they have to worry about bar discipline and contempt, which are at least somewhat external to other official power structures.

Somewhat like "literacy tests" in the post civil war south
