This is a really important episode about what it's like to have the deportation machine used on you Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

me when i start infodumping about cloud formations and categorizations in the middle of a road trip date with my girlfriend

doing a boost for my friend soad in gaza, and her son omar. im trying to find someone who can help out with fundraising like i have, and hopefully raise enough to keep them alive and get them out. if you can do this, please let me know www.gofundme.com/f/providing-...

god i just want this nightmare to fucking end

reposting this rn -- a lot of people are panicking lately, and i get it. truly, i do, i've been there. ive been on the streets with nothing but what i could carry while all institutions failed me. but no matter how hard it gets, there are still solutions. build solidarity

no, do not panic. *organize.* panicking is how you get people taking rash individual actions that just hurt themselves and their loved ones more than anything. organizing and building collective solidarity is how you fight in the long run. panicking does nothing. organizing is how we survive.

Forever disturbed by the way the cops are at the beck and call of the most irritating white person you've ever met as an armed hall monitor

getting multiple mad dem stans. here's my official position for y'all - dems are just as bad as republicans, they just take longer to do the same things and do it with a nice enough face so upper middle class gentry fucks can feel okay about ignoring societal ills + dislike every politician

"the PERSON" "them" We get it, you're a transphobe who loves defending the supposed "opposition" joining the fascists in spreading transphobic lies like the collaborators that they are Trans people were her most solid voting demographic, yall despise your base and still ya wonder why you lose

There’s no actual data to support this point! When this claim was first made people showed that those ads didn’t meaningfully move the needle! Harris is definitely familiar with those data! She’s promoting this fascist propaganda narrative because she wants to!

strangely, everyone who stans kamala is silent. wonder why? almost like she never gave a shit about u and that she just was doing what was electorally viable. if she won, the right would've doubled down on project 2025 and made it project 2029. capitalism always decays into fascism given time

here comes the cereal airplane buzzing towards your face again to feed you another spoonful of Oops! Always Right

At the Broadview ICE "processing facility" outside Chicago. Earlier today, federal agents unleashed chemical weapons on protesters, elected officials, a local congressional candidate, and a local mayor. Defiant anti deportation activists remain. Another protest is planned for 7pm.

Hey are you ever going to call for the abolition of ICE again after they fucking murdered a father two days after Kirk was shot or is the only life that matters white supremacist life? Was that Abolish ICE stuff from 2018 just bullshit to get you elected? Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

My respect for anyone who says they're afraid of voting against this resolution is zero. You are a member of Congress. The country is being dragged to hell. 'People will threaten us.' What did you think this job entailed? Quit blubbering, vote no, and move on.

"her path is challenging" the party had her primary opponent bow out and the gop candidate in the general raised $14k. she ran functionally unopposed. if it's so cool to vote to honor kirk's legacy why didn't you do it?

Fact check: Axios reported leadership was NOT whipping for the vote, even though they did support it. You can tell this is likely the case because many Dems (like CBC) voted No. McBride is talked about because she acts like she represents trans people, and constant demeans our efforts. Very simple.

okay aoc here's my question for you: why did 95 of your colleagues vote to honor the legacy of a fascist that wants immigrants & trans people dead? why do you claim this was from leadership even tho the vote distr disagrees? why are you using taxpayer money to defend ur colleagues voting for this?

jesus christ this is pathetic. grow a fucking spine and read the room you gentry fuck

Federal agents hurled tear gas and pepper spray into a crowd of about 100 protestors who attempted to block vans from entering and exiting a U.S. Immigration and Customs holding facility in Broadview on Friday. 📝 @ckubzansky.bsky.social and Rebecca Johnson www.chicagotribune.com/2025/09/19/t...

first, focus on taking care of your own base needs and do whatever you can to get yourself to the best state currently possible. if u cant afford therapy, this siteoffers some good self-help resources, dbt.tools. additionally if OCD is a concern, check out guides developed by experts to treat urself

panic and despair is what they want. im not saying don't have emotions, and im not saying do nothing! just slow down, take a deep breath, and use your head. panic and despair are not productive.

Including gillick competence in the heritage paper attempting to define so called trans motivated violence as terrorism is a huge tip that some british knobhead wrote it. Gillick isn't an American thing, it's a UK thing.

you should be fighting but you shouldn't be panicking

ughh, that's annoying that she's doubling down on telling people to panic. i'm trained in chaplaincy and am also training in crisis care/situational awareness... two things can be true: it's really bad out there AND don't panic.

it extremely broadly first, which will make it less dangerous because they don't already have the plan to do the crackdown lined up. Whatever happens it's imperative to Organize, not panic Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

I think the thing about Black Identity Extremism as a concept is that it's not very well understood the extent to which it was originally developed to go after a very specific group of activists and then kind of got broadened over time Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

no, do not panic. *organize.* panicking is how you get people taking rash individual actions that just hurt themselves and their loved ones more than anything. organizing and building collective solidarity is how you fight in the long run. panicking does nothing. organizing is how we survive.

The FBI has been doing this kinda extremist labeling to Muslims, animal rights activists, and anarchists for decades already. It's nothing new. Is it bad? Yes. Is there a fed sitting in every group chat? No. Just use signal if you're worried. Is it the Kristallnacht? No. Don't fucking panic!

Once more. Also: stop assuming our enemies are all-powerful and all-seeing. It's laughably false, especially now.

regular boost for my oomf in gaza, btw. ive been working on trying to find her someone who can do a more effective fundraising campaign than me, but its taking time

also donate to my oomf in Gaza, Soad. she needs help, she needs support, she's facing a genocide. go help her. www.gofundme.com/f/providing-...

I think liberals (recovering or otherwise) interpret radicals pointing out "we tried to tell y'all," etc as crowing or scoring points. It's really not. Along with the above: if other political worldviews were way closer to the mark about what was happening, they're worth listening to more closely.

one of the reasons i cover such a broad scope of topics - e.g. gaming, politics, protest/movement journo, genocide, sports, technology, just to name a few - is because these issues aren't independent of each other, at all every issue is interconnected. here's why that should give you hope. 🧵

The most insane part about Charlie Kirk dying is that the President of the United States is a pedophile who is actively aiding and abetting a genocide that is taking place in Palestine.

This ain't "ha! Us leftists and anarchists were right." it's about learning. How you're perceiving, organizing and fighting needs to be based on reality, or it will suffer badly. I don't ask anyone to reach all the same conclusions I have, but if your view of society was widely off, reckon with why

If you genuinely believed what you were told about the nature of the American state and its institutions, and you are in horror at what's going on now, consider why you believed something that turned out to be this false. What illusions need to end? How does the way you see society need to change?

All the institutions that were supposed to (on paper, in the myths we were told) stop what's happening now folded like wet cardboard. Communities? Random people? Those radicals y'all were all told to dismiss? They're the ones actually fighting back. There's a lesson in that.

Reading this on loop today.

got plenty of more stories coming soon gang. just remember - no matter what, there still is hope, and there still is time. we will be okay. we band together in our local communities, nothing can stop us

Duck Duck Coffee will be doing a directed donation drive today - please bring t shirts, underwear, ibuprofen/acetaminophen, shorts, drinks, and especially SHOES during business hours today!

the casual punishment of unhoused people is so, so much worse than you think.

and when the State runs out of us to brutalize, it will come for you.

I fucking hate doing this stuff with all my body and soul but I genuinely wonder if a way to get through to the you have to sign up for the protest liberals is to ask them if they would sign up for a protest in Russia against Putin Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

People don’t like it when I say it, but the main place you’ll be pressured to participate in fascism is work. Especially if you work in a battleground space like government or academia. None of your weekend organizing can ever make up for active participation in the fascist project at your day job.

Mainly two things: * Fear. Fascists sow a lot of it. It's their first weapon before anything else and they get far, far weaker if it starts to crumble. * Compliance, at this point especially from liberals and centrists. They're getting a lot of this from other gentry and establishment media...

To review: * The fash are weak on admin from gutting the state bureaucracy. * The fash are weak in otg numbers. Controlling even one part of any major city is a real challenge, especially with any resistance. * The fash are weak on legitimacy. They are increasingly, widely hated. So what's left?

BREAKING - Israel is now arresting and abusing anti-Zionists for putting up anti-Israel stickers around their neighborhoods, according to an exclusive interview Free Radical did with an Israeli anti-Zionist who was arrested earlier this year. Thanks to @ryan.staticnoi.se for editing this 🧵

seems like the shooter was likely lefty, according to new evidence im seeing shared around. and once more, nothing changes in our day to day life because the right didnt need evidence to make this conclusion, they just decided it as they always do

boosting for all minneapolis followers - i do work with SSD, they're all good people. right now we had shootings at encampments that killed 13 people, and the city & mayor jacob frey are using it to target the encampments even more. give them support and resources folks!
