A year ago, in solidarity with Palestinians, protesters courageously occupied the engineering building at the University of Washington, which is funded by war profiteers Boeing. Anarchists defended them with a black bloc and burning barricades. This is the energy we need. crimethinc.com/UW2025

Hate to make these kinds of posts, but everything is getting so fucking expensive and i’ve still been struggling to pick up more work. I’m already really worried about my earnings for this month no pressure, but if you’re able to help: Venmo (preferred): @Storster01 Ko-Fi:

this is why mainstream journalism is a fucking joke. it isn't about accuracy or ethics, it's about just trying to get shit out quickly to fulfill an agenda. my hot take is there is journalists shouldnt work for outlets that do shit like this. this piece doesnt even disclose this upfront!!!!

it's a violation of the NYT's own AI policy, and it's also not disclosed that AI was used to report the article. how many other articles at the @nytimes.com contain AI-generated misinformation that's gone unchecked? www.nytco.com/press/princi...

personally I think it's a very big deal that the Canada bureau chief for the @nytimes.com — certainly one of the highest-paid journalists in the country — asked an unspecified "AI tool" what Poilievre said & published its AI-hallucinated quotes in her reporting.

Doing my regular boost of Gazan oomfs, this one on Soad once more. Any boosts or donos help <3

Boosting my friend Heba in Gaz. She's family of my friend Saed, and has been working to fundraise for her family as well. She's trying to get a purchase and some notice as she's running her fundraiser, any and all help will go a long way y'all

Boosting my friend Soad once more. The recent wins are hugely motivating, but costs are still high as Israel refuses to allow aid into Gaza, and with no other ways to earn money, donations are the only thing keeping many afloat

urgh i wanna learn swordfighting but the cheapest queer friendly place i can find is $130/month X.X one day when im not broke....

"Prepare, but don't panic" applies to *a lot* right now.

one thing they dont tell you about being a journalist is how many unfinished stories youll have sitting. i have like, 4-5 stories that i have most or all of the research done that are just Unfinished because they're not nearly as urgent as other works ive had to prioritize

Boosting my friend Saeed in Gaza. Any boosts and support helps and goes a long way y'all, he's trying to support his whole family. His sister recently got in touch with me as well to do additional fundraising

donate to saeed and his family here: chuffed.org/project/1635...

If you make every trans person afraid that the feds are about to bust down doors and put us in camps, that materially harms every trans person. That is why even threats of genocidal actions are considered international war crimes. So my advice is to not play into it. Prepare, but don't panic.

The fear is valid, the threats are real. But also, they have been saying this stuff for months and months now, with only one court case in a deep red state to show for it (Praireville). Mitigating factors include; - the 'deep state' (eg, career staff of intelligence agencies) hates Trump..

This is probably gonna gain traction soon, so I want to ground everyone before the fear that may come. The purpose of memos like this is probably best understood as to create fear. If they had the resources and ability to conduct mass crackdowns on trans groups, they would just do it.

so HUD is proposing a rule that would require shelters to discriminate against trans people the rule proposal is here: www.regulations.gov/document/HUD... the public comment period is open until the end of june please let them know this is unacceptable! comment form here 👇

Me buying chipotle cause I'm tired is not the same thing as Bezos renting Venice

Boosting Soad & Omar again, as part of my regular campaign to boost. Soad's a good friend, I want to make sure they both can survive for the foreseeable future.

I wish more leftists would understand that the idea that fatness is unhealthy isn't some kind of objective truth, but a myth created to make profit for the weight cycling industry, using a racialized, gendered, classed body ideal.

so many people forget that 'just let people spend money how they want' is for poor people justifying a $15 fast food meal, and not a rich person buying a Chanel bag or a Bermuda vacation or $10000 worth of video games, or even like luxury groceries and fancy cars

Nothing remotely approaching a united front against fascism is on offer from liberals in positions of power. As a whole they're collaborating with the regime (quietly or not) or still actively focused on crushing radicals. Often both. So, multi-factional strife in a dying empire it is...

Mexico City activist Razzia Santillán talks with TNN's @thefreeradical.org about charges for using the bathroom, the need for cross-border solidarity among the trans working class, her experiences on the front lines of fighting for trans liberation and more in this wide-ranging interview:

the new star fox looks great, except the character art which is abysmal. sonic movie core. if the character art were simplified/cartoony more this would be brilliant

i was having a really really rough day until friends convinced me to post my venmo earlier. all yall giving ur support just.... it means the fucking world. genuinely, thank all of you so much. im not used to having this level of support from ppl. it means more than i can ever say <3

the unionized staff at A4TE (merged NCTE+TLDEF), need you on this petition. mgmt is making the same mistakes that blew NCTE up in 2019, and they must be forced to resource their program that does the most actual good for the most marginalized of us. pls sign & share: www.change.org/p/demand-for...

If you want to support journalism like this — unrepentantly radical, drawing from the experiences of marginalized, trans working class folks across borders — donate or subscribe to TNN. Edited by @davidforbes.bsky.social

Santillán is part of Mariposas Negras, a trans affinity group active in militant organizing and mutual aid who see the fight for change as coming from solidarity among thise on the margins, rather than trans assimilation into being passive "citizens" in a capitalist regime...

My latest w/ TNN! This one took a while to get out. A very lengthy interview with one of the coolest activists I've had the pleasure of meeting. I highly, highly recommend checking this one out if you want to feel a bit more hopeful about everything

Om Jameel: "Don't leave me to die from the pain in my shoulder.I need injections that cost £200.I cannot take medication because of a weakness in my heart valve. I appeal to you with afragile heart for the sake of my 5 kids who are starving now. donate, even if it's £25." chuffed.org/project/lobnah

she's over halfway to her goal, she's at 80/150!!! lets keep it up :)

gonna boost my friend soad as well here since ive gotten a ton and im not in immediate need or anything. donate to her yall, she needs it. she's a single mother in gaza with a young child whose starving

Soad and her son have survived so much. Please be there and offer whatever support you can ❤️ chuffed.org/project/soad

the twin cities are still under occupation

From the heart of Gaza, amidst the rubble and the fear, we raise our voices to you. We ask for nothing… just a chance to live, just a moment of safety for a child who knows nothing of the world but pain Please, I need $150 to buy vitamins and medicine for my child Soad💔😭 chuffed.org/project/soad

friends have been telling me i should ask for help more so uh ive been looking for a secondary job to pay the bills and coming up dry, nowhere gets back to me. and i dont rly have enough for groceries without draining my emergency savings if u can spare anything, it'd help. my venmos @MiraLazine

Still not getting any calls about work. have put in 32 apps online since Monday. who knows how many of those jobs are real. Going to try to hit some places in person this week. I am down to my last $40 and having to put out the asks for May. V:@/JKNotSoBad C:$/JKNotsobad PP:@/comfortingmoo

Awooooooooooo Donate if you can because our neighbors still need help Awoooooooo www.canmn.org/donate

awoooooooo

if a journalist asks you about DIY or anything you dont want to be public, stay silent. dont say anything. like as someone who works in the industry, they will use anything they can against u if they want to. 'off the record,' for instance, requires the journo to agree. u cant just assert it

a while back a pal had a thigh nerve wild out. i took her to urgent care. it's standard to ask if you've had recent surgery. she said we'd gone to bangkok for her SRS 2mo ago. they wouldn't treat her. i took her to an ER. they wouldn't treat her either it's 100% ok to lie to cis docs if you need to

there is no one coming to save us. we have to save ourselves. organize, support those most marginalized, keep living

it is snowing in parts of minnesota today. may 6. climate change is fucking bonkers. anyone acting like it isnt real needs to look outside it was like 80 earlier this week too

Thanks y'all so much for the support so far. Currently at 860/2000!!!!!!! 🙏🏾🍀🤞🏾 cash.app/$sotreu2 venmo.com/sotreu paypal.me/rikiam #MutualAid #HelpSky #MutualAidRequest

Once more boosting my friend Soad. She's trying to raise enough money to afford basic medicine and necessities for her and Omar. Any help goes a long way, y'all

i've been saying it for a while. ICE is on the up and up, and we're starting to see this again. they're coming for minneapolis again.d ont forget about us.

Boosting my friend Heba as well - she is related to my friend Saed, who I've also boosted previously

Once more boosting my friend Soad. She's trying to raise enough money to afford basic medicine and necessities for her and Omar. Any help goes a long way, y'all
