fucking insane that Dworkinites have won this particular war on human sexuality and expression, in concert with their beloved evangelical christofascists

if jimmy kimmel's show getting cancelled is what ends the ruling class consensus around trump i am going to lose my little mind... until next week when it will be forgotten entirely

They just tear-gassed us. They tried to run us over in a van holding a peaceful protester. They shot us with pepper balls. They dragged another protester into the facility.

In the 2010s, this country's elites were thrown onto social platforms with everyone else and could finally read what we all think about them and it caused them so much psychic damage that they decided to destroy both the internet and democracy to make sure nothing like it ever happened again.

I guess it makes sense that american fascism's would-be Horst Wessel was a grifter whose claim to fame was being annoying

lol these guys don’t have the power to rule with an iron fist but they do have the power to destroy a few decades in QoL gains by ensuring entire swaths of this country are always roiling somewhere between sporadic terror and The Troubles

chicago, irving park: ice spotted at home depot at addison/kimball

Keep picturing Patel dropping the casings in terror after reading “if you read this youre gay”

A McDonald's flag flying at half-mast in Guantanamo Bay for the death of a fascist grifter is maybe the most American event I have ever seen

Losing my mind by reading the cursed tome, that blasphemous work written by a madwoman seeking to make others a compatriot in her insanity, a most unholy text: code I wrote more than a year ago

Got permission to post this; one of the trans women who was assaulted last week by a gang of anti-trans creeps has a gofundme up to help her with medical and survival costs while she recovers from a concussion. If you're able to help, please do. www.gofundme.com/f/help-a-tra...

This is America. You can murder our children en masse, you can kill our state legislators, and commit sexual assault to your heart's content... but if you kill one of our hatemongers? Buddy, you better get ready for vengeance: we'll harass marginalized groups you aren't a part of!

I don't remember any details about the day at school but I do recall that when I got home I was frustrated that the news coverage had preempted Digimon

Just got handed some notes: the crank conspiracy theory we're running with is "his wife did it."

That both of Turning Point USA’s founders are dead from public health crises their organization worked hard to enable is a parable for our time.

This is what I find fascinating; Charlie Kirk was just some schmuck who served as the face for Rich Bastards Who Want Our Schools to be More Fascist 501(c)(3). Why is that more significant than assassinating a Minnesota state rep? I guess because Kirk posted a lot?

From a lifelong Minnesotan: fuck you very much

"This is going to be an incredibly destabilizing moment." Girl, Charlie Kirk is not Franz Ferdinand. He's an also-ran right-wing media grifter, a discount Ben Shapiro. America is already well into the descent into fascism. There isn't a powder keg waiting to go off; the explosion already happened.

if you're wondering why an endless procession of nazi mass shooters can kill an unlimited number of schoolchildren without the right facing consequences while one fascist getting shot makes the left "the party of murder," it's bc they don't consider children's lives to matter

It’s gonna be so weird watching establishment dems be performatively sadder about this than they were about the colleague and her husband and dog who got shot and killed

I really enjoy the clever and eclectic work Dishsoap Quarterly puts out and I’m so proud they liked this story! Here it is, if you missed it: dishsoap-quarterly.com/5-13-25/tomo...

Don't just read the headline. Take a moment to watch the video. It's short.

Northern Ireland man from Lisburn kidnapped by Trump’s Ice raids because he “looked like a Mexican”. He had the correct visa, all his documents. He’s never been in trouble with police. Held in terrible conditions. A fellow captive couldn’t get his medication and dropped dead of a heart attack

the distinction feels like splitting hairs but is important. HIV preyed on everyone in the community and around it largely at random. some people were hit harder than others - largely addicts, hustlers, the desperate - our enemies know this & counted on uncontrolled covid to cleanse lumpens as well

im plopping some money into Chicago orgs today. join me if youve got some money burning a hole in your pocket!

I need people to also understand that faculty have been harassed like this - specifically with staged protests and secret recordings- for decades The ESCALATION (and this matters!) is the president so pathetically caving and firing the dean and department head

there have been times in my life where i have received push-back for simply not dismissing accusations of sexual abuse out of hand. people are all too eager to defend the sex pests in their lives to preserve a negative peace

Reporters from across newsrooms in Chicago are collaborating to collect visual evidence of federal agents detaining people & using force in Chicago. Send videos to tinyurl.com/chicagojourn..., or get in touch via email [email protected].

It’s time

we’re going to have to throw a lot of people in jail after all this is over

Metroidvanias are either Protestant or Catholic. Castlevania? Catholic, of course. Metroid? Protestant. Blasphemous is Catholic. Dead Cells, Protestant. Hollow Knight is Protestant, but Hollow Knight: Silksong is Catholic. That's why people are complaining the game is hard. Cause it's Catholic now.

An ICE watch zine (Chicago edition) being handed out today.

It's just a sports ban. It's just a bathroom ban. It's just a healthcare for kids ban. It's just a military service ban. It's just a federal jobs ban. It's just a university housing ban. It's just a passport & visa ban. It's just one Constitutional right. It's just your status as free citizens.

The face of a definitely young woman who is being responsible and working at her desk instead of playing the hot new video game everyone else is posting about!!! Aaaaaa!! Please let me play it!!! I will still get my work done later!!! I won't play it for 10 hours straight, I swear!!!

The Minnesota shooters initial target was going to be a trans furry DIY venue & changed focus literally because of trans women gun ownership. Just a horrifying fact to consider with the reported administrations justifications btw

Everyone’s grown so used to abortion bans and most experiences are out of sight and out of mind, but they’re terrible. Every day I interact with people who have been degraded and abandoned. Not sleeping, suffering. Handing me their last dollar. Driving for hours. Sick.

It's odd to me that instagram is such a popular platform for event planning because the app's architecture seems antagonistic toward that purpose. Am I missing something?

Illinois Gov. Pritzker ahead of Trump National Guard deployment: "To Chicagoans... Look out for your communities and your neighbours. Know your rights. Film things that you see happening... Authoritarians thrive on your silence. Be loud for America."

This shit sucks man. Medically proven and effective treatment that would save trans youth a lifetime of pain and discomfort in their own bodies thrown in the trash because our country enables the most evil people imaginable.

Every other day there is a headline that might as well read, "Economy to Collapse Completely Before 2026's End"

If you are okay with this, if you think this is justified, if you think people living on the street have brought this upon themselves, if you think this is good leadership, you may be able to fool yourself that you care about others but you don’t fool me

Hey, babe? I can tell by your movements that you're overburdened with mitochondrial challenges

I've been rolling my eyes at all the posts reading, "Look at Trump's bruised hand! They're giving him an IV! Death's door!" but this does me think he's not going to last through 2028

While out on a walk, I saw a woman wearing a tshirt that read "Future MILF." She was pushing a baby stroller, which really changed the meaning of the shirt.

This is true and nothing at all was done about it. The significant & visible Black figures in the BLM protests were systematically & covertly murdered.
