Attention!! In town for ASA?? Don’t miss these two events organized by Micelio Abolicionista!

currently reading: Aftershocks of Disaster: Puerto Rico Before and After the Storm, edited by Yarimar Bonilla and Marisol LeBron The House on the Lagoon, Rosario Ferre

Apparently, it is negotiable!

pre-writing a devastating obituary for your enemy is god-tier hating of a kind you don’t often see anymore. renaissance haterism. beautiful stuff.

UC faculty have “changed what they teach (or) changed what they research bc they are afraid it is too left and they don’t want to trigger more funding cuts,” Judge Lin said. It's “a classic, predictable First Amendment injury, exactly what the administration intends.” www.nytimes.com/2025/11/06/u...

Still geeked at how the crowd went absolutely wild when Mamdani mentioned Eugene Debs. What a time to be alive lol

Read this incredible conversation between two brilliant people about their amazing books!

💯💯💯💯💯

Get this beautiful book and let it move you as it is moving me. And if you're in one of these cities, go check out the brilliant @drashleydfarmer.bsky.social in person.

The way my mental health depends on Mamdani becoming mayor even though I no longer live in NYC

Cops going aggro on Sunset near Echo Park in LA after the Dodgers Win. Shooting people with less lethals from point blank range, horses running people and press down. Literally minutes before, fireworks in the street

When their kids ask them where they were when the Dodgers won the World Series in 2025, some cops will get to tell their children about how they beat up and tear gassed fans celebrating tonight.

It continues to amaze and confound me how whiteness plays out for white adult men in the US and beyond. "Young boys," who are over the age of 30, are given the benefit of the doubt. While BIPOC (i know people don't like this term) children (or even adults), never have that privilege.

the actual story here, which the media never talks about, is that police in this country have become a discrete right-wing political operation. the story isn't about cops leaving (they're lying about that), it's about the police trying to exert influence over elections.

Even if Proud Boys aren't joining (and here is no confirmation), federal paramilitary forces clearly recruit from the same pool and share overlapping ideological and political goals. As has always been the case, far right gangs and street groups work with law enforcement, not against.

The official government account for DHS appears to be run by far-right trolls deliberately trying to provoke a response by using a term openly associated with ethnic cleansing. They will attack anyone who points this out and express faux outrage at the suggestion. They know what they are doing.

Solidarity with @mark-bray.bsky.social, a fantastic, thoughtful, and generous scholar whose work about antifa is so important in this moment. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

I’ve received multiple death threats + doxing (including my home address) directly following harassment from Turning Point USA, Jack Posobiec, Andy NGO, + Fox News which called me an antifa ‘financier.’ I have been forced to move my classes online. If journalists want to talk, DM me or reply here.

The termination of Tamar Shirinian is an outrage. A clear violation of free speech & penalization of an academic for comments made in an individual capacity on their own time. Please consider speaking out and asking the UT admin to reinstate Dr. Shirinian. www.utdailybeacon.com/campus_news/...

All of these apply to MAGA, and *especially* to tech fascists, so...

🚨 New directive NSPM-7 targets "anti-capitalism," “anti-Christian,” and “anti-American" opinions as indicators of extremist violence, authorizing an army of 4,000 counter-terrorism officers to prevent crimes that haven't happened: www.kenklippenstein.com/p/trumps-nsp...

God, this is so pathetic.

This isn't even a slight exaggeration. He is actively working on destroying the US's entire vaccine infrastructure. The HepB vote will be tomorrow, where they will get rid of the birth dose and recommend it at 30 days, dooming a bunch of infants to chronic infection ft. cirrhosis, cancer, and death.

The math isn’t mathing — “In exchange [for $1.2B settlement], the Trump administration would release about $500 million in stalled research grants from the National Institutes of Health and the Department of Energy.”

Happy Hispanic Heritage Month everyone!

New Tyler Robinson posts leaked to me tell a very different story than you've heard before: www.kenklippenstein.com/p/exclusive-...

The Department of Justice has removed a study showing that white supremacist and far-right violence “continues to outpace all other types of terrorism and domestic violent extremism” in the United States. 🔗 www.404media.co/doj-deletes-...

It’s so cool how the K*rk shooter is likely a Groyper who dropped out and got radicalized online and now people think we shouldn’t get to have colleges anymore.

Nick Fuentes, Enrique Tarrio, Ryan Sanchez, etc… Who is doing in depth coverage on Latinos/Hispanics not only involved with but in some cases leading white nationalist and neo-nazi groups? I know the books Defectors and Racial Innocence cover this but is there more out there?

Report Says Colorado School Shooting Suspect Was Fascinated with Mass Shootings, White Supremacy and Neo-Nazi Views | Since December, Desmond Holly, 16, had been active on an online forum where users watch videos of killings and violence, mixed in with content on white supremacism and antisemitism.

I see we're at the "put Jewish people on a special surveillance list" stage of "combating antisemitism"

The fact that both the WSJ and the Guardian have retracted their trans and leftist stories related to the shooter and now a day later a new one is being formed about a possible "trans roommate or lover" shows how desperate they are to pin this on someone who is LGBTQ+

In a shocking on-air moment, a “Fox and Friends” co-host said homeless people suffering from mental health issues who refuse help should be killed

Reporters talking with everyone who has ever met the shooter asking if the shooter knew any trans people. Healthy society we have here for sure.

This is the first thing I’ve read that really nails the extremely online snark tone appropriate to this whole farce, reporting with lots of links as if it were any other alt-right flame war, horrified that this is what a good chunk of US politics looks like now. www.todayintabs.com/p/groyper-wa...

if youd like to get a bit more background on how young men get radicalized online but don't want to dive into hell facefirst alone i have a book about it (it's five years old, but speaks to methods & human motivations that are still current, i think) www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/talia...

The latest episode of Panic World is *very* good. A must listen for anyone wanting to better understand the role of online culture in the Kirk shooting.

I wonder if all these threats to African American institutions are linked to the flood of Fox News personalities screaming “we need to fight back”? Eh, probably just a series of incredible coincidences

This is extremely low hanging fruit for reporters at national news organizations. Not only can you solicit interviews with TPUSA victims, you can also rely on past reporting to make easily supported claims about Kirk's legacy

Bad Bunny, one of the biggest musical artists in the world, said he avoided the US in his tour because he thought ICE would set up ouside his shows.

Also, these same people made a game, FOR YEARS, of trying to trick the news media into reporting that every single suspected mass shooter was trans. Why would they stop now that they run the FBI?

Shocker

You can write this only if, by virtue of your income, identity, or both, you are utterly removed from the consequences of politics. To pretend that the racist, misogynistic, anti-gay vileness that Kirk spent his life spreading is secondary to the fact that he spread it "the right way" is appalling.

this is just a ridiculous way to describe a guy who built an enemies list of professors so his shithead followers could send them hate mail and death threats

what the fuck is “transgender ideology”

There’s a way to be respectful in reporting on Charlie Kirk being shot while also refusing to whitewash who he was and what consequences his political activism has had. Obituaries for public figures are a part of history.
