"But in the words of Jayesh Bhai, who I learned about through my comrade Sonya Shah, we’re trying to “act with the urgency of tomorrow and also with the patience of 1,000 years.” This project is a long-term one." prisonculture.substack.com/p/abolition-...

One of my favorite fun facts is why the TMNT are named after artists (it’s because the type of turtle they are is a “painted turtle”). I told my nephew about this and he immediately replied that there should be a Bob Ross turtle. So rather than explain the renaissance movement to him, I-

Trump: don’t take acepitoemponoene RFK Jr: *moth crawls out of mouth* A nude man is in the background, only referred to as “the colonel” Person watching on tv: well if they say so

Too late, Batman. Once this Tylenol floods the city's water supply, my wiki won't run out of editors ever again

These attacks on vaccines, tylenol, fluoridation of water, masks, etc is to keep everyone so distracted that nobody has the energy to ask - why are so many lacking access to medical care? - why is gun violence #1 cause of death in kids? - why is life expectancy falling? - why are meds unaffordable?

what if trans people were worth as much as a talk show host, collectively if not individually, as a treat

sorry but calling a condition “full-blown” will always be a little funny

Because for the Right, women must either be all-sacrificing heroines who will subject themselves to pain in service to a cause, or if they refuse this, blamed for all the “bad” things in the world

“Why tylenol?” Because it’s the pain medication that pregnant people can take. That’s it. That’s why.

The second portion of this great convo is now available!

My book, The Future That Was, is about the extraordinary rise of global research on women. It also about the attacks on & starvation of gender research today by universities who leave only the shell intact, dismantling entire fields of knowledge built by women press.princeton.edu/books/hardco...

Everyone in academia should read this piece about our dear, brilliant colleague @durba.bsky.social www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

Holy shit RFK Jr just used the idea that we should "believe all women" to defend the idea that vaccines might have caused their kids' autism, I am INCANDESCENT with rage

Kimmel is back because everyone fucking hates Trump and the bourgeoisie are more scared of losing the money of everyone who hates Trump than they are of Trump himself Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

TIL my street is probably designed to land a space shuttle on

The Strib doesn’t mention that the U administration advised faculty to hold classes online today instead of on campus

Only some Colleges advised faculty to hold classes online today, after many many people asking them to reschedule the event or deal with how they invited the right into campus

A key reminder right now, from @prisonculture.bsky.social: "We are actually in a consistent battle to unleash and free our imaginations in the face of unrelenting oppression... Imagination is an important terrain of struggle." prisonculture.substack.com/p/abolition-...

if any magazine defines the new trans fiction and poetry of the 2020s so far it’s Imposter. if you’re smart you’ll submit to them

Girl, I am losing my mind

dudes rock

The "terrorist reclassification" was an extreme over interpretation by Ken Klippenstein that circulated purely as a headline and is active disinfo, there are a whole gaggle of left/lib journalists right now who have found their niche getting massive engagement by scaring the shit out of trans people

In English: It pisses me off when these US gringos say that Brazil is showing the US how democracy really works, in a tone that suggests “until five minutes ago, we were the benchmark for democracy.” No, darlings, for anyone in the Global South, you were NEVER EVER a benchmark for democracy. Next.

Roddey Reid’s book, now revised and expanded, is the best text I have found that not only grasps the full meaning of Trump, but places him in the context of American business culture. Be afraid. roddeyreid.squarespace.com/new-book-1

my mom is out of the halfway house and needs some cash to get on her feet in her new living situation. she already has a job. for those who don’t know, she got out of jail pretty recently and was facing deportation this summer. the goal is $2000.

"Thirty one journalists and media staff were killed by Israeli strikes on newspaper offices in Yemen last week in what the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) said on Friday was the deadliest attack on journalists in the last 16 years." www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

Folks we are SO close to meeting this short goal to evacuate several families in Gaza - please donate if you can! ⬇️

a chilling warning to america from 2004 !

Deleted the below posts out of an abundance of caution. Despite the words of the Proclamation, an unnamed White House official told New York Times that they intend to apply the $100,000 only to new applicants only. If that is correct, the implications are not as urgent.

Also saw ABC had planned to release a Charlie Kirk documentary on Friday, but just quietly didnt do it. The fash cant even keep the institutions in line for a whole 7 days. Things are bad but the fash dont have the fucking juice. People dont like and dont want to enforce their policies. This matters

They don't have it. As @miawong.bsky.social said ICHH, the reason they're pushing so hard so fast to consolidate power is because their shit is extremely unpopular, breeds resistance and resentment and largely demobilizes even their own base. They are bad at this.

The findings “suggest that medical AI tools powered by LLMs have a tendency to not reflect the severity of symptoms among female patients, while also displaying less ‘empathy’ towards Black and Asian ones.”

The ACIP has voted AGAINST requiring a prescription for COVID-19 vaccination. With a vote of 6 yes and 6 no, the decision went to the ACIP chair, who voted no.

PLEASE at least spread the appropriate amount of panic ppl

this is the most important fight right now, the fight against ICE and the struggle for Palestine are one

The widely accepted narrative that Trump "chickened out" on Chicago is completely incorrect. ICE's incursions are getting worse here every day.

Anyone aware of an existing Bluesky list or starter pack of mutual aid orgs in Minneapolis? I want to help folks stay up to date on community needs and actions. For now, or going forward, I'm adding to this list. Share orgs with me that post here! bsky.app/profile/did:...

In light of the increasing prevalence of pepper balls and tear gas at the Broadview site, I just want to reshare this toolkit from Vision Change Win, which includes best practices for treating tear gas and pepper spray exposure. You can also find this info in the appendix of Let This Radicalize You.

And that's another genociding colonizing failson of England fallen

They need you to be actively afraid because they no longer feel confident in your consent or your tendency to do what they need you to. This is a turning point in the class struggle and we need as many bold, brave people as we can get, taking care of one another, fighting, living, imagining better

This thread was about Shymaa. It turned out she was shot by a quadcopter, and she may lose her leg. Im so so scared for her and her baby, I really need yall to support her if you can

I wrote recently about my more than 20 years in higher ed: "The biggest change I have observed is that I, my colleagues, and our students are intensely surveilled in the hope that we can be publicly shamed, fired or expelled if we say or do something wrong." donmoynihan.substack.com/p/how-the-hi...

A group of local tow truck drivers are offering to tow people's work vans to work sites without charge if they're afraid of being taken by ICE while driving, which is a neat spontaneous community response to all of this

Heard from a friend at Disney+ that there are multiple levels of freakout internally, both from internal dissatisfaction, concerns about subscription cancelations, and of course the big one: concern about a boycott spilling over into parks and cruises.

Y'all realize, of course, that if they do this successfully, there's absolutely nothing stopping them from listing gay people, Black people, or people under 5'6" as violent extremists, right? This lets them brand entire demographics as terrorists under FBI labeling if it is not stopped.

Some of us tried to make this clear. We were ignored. I do not like being a Cassandra.

If people are doing direct actions like this in WHEATON in the long run they are cooked. They are going to imprison and torture and murder enormous numbers of people they are going to irreparably damage things we haven't even thought of yet but they are going to lose Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

ppl who are canceling disney+ but buying andor on dvd from walmart..... u know u can pirate stuff right

I'm gonna just say this: if you are a trans person, you need to have other trans people in your life that you can co-regulate with and you need to talk to them more than you talk to Bluesky. This app is a firehose of terror and bad news for us and it's going to tie your amygdala in a damn knot.
