this is genuinely wild

#NYC update: The current hotline # is not secure. Groups are meeting soon to come up with a city-wide hotline #. I took the number out of the zine. Report to @nycicewatch on IG and to Tish James' office. (NYC is WAY behind the curve here! LA had a hotline last Jan.) drive.google.com/file/d/1I9AT...

🚨BIG changes happening -- ICE leadership is being purged tonight. The old guard, which prioritized targeted enforcement operations aimed at people with criminal records, is being replaced with Border Patrol and Gregory Bovino's "Midway Blitz" style. Think things are bad now? It'll get worse.

The German company that makes the mechanical ladder used in the Louvre heist has used the image to advertise, with the text 'When you need to move fast' 10/10 response, no notes

This is essentially a notice for people to monitor spaces highlighted by TPUSA propagandists on the anticipation of ICE showing up.

yesssss

You gently run your hand through the rack. You can feel it—pure cotton, rich wool, Irish linen. The plump buttonholes are handsewn; the buttons attached with a firm shank. You flip the price tag over. It's affordable You buy the jacket and go home, which is only 15 mins away. Your apt is $600/month

Holy crap Kara Walker chopped up a Stonewall Jackson statue and revealed a monster

Cops go to protests to brutalize protestors. That is their job. It’s what they’re for.

block this shit

JD Vance has sought to downplay reports that leaders of an organization called the Young Republicans sent thousands of virulently racist and sexist text messages— saying they are “kids” doing “stupid things,” despite the fact that they are 24 to 35 years old.

she’s not and that’s why she’s so mad

Kristi Noem, while governor of South Dakota, supplemented her roughly $130,000 salary by secretly accepting $80,000 donated to a political nonprofit she was affiliated with, records show. She never disclosed this income on federal ethics forms. (Published June)

An easy example: Bill Burr Bill Burr’s schtick is that he’s comedy woke uncle. He gave Beyonce so much shit for going to Saudi Arabia over a decade ago & performing at a PRIVATE PARTY for a PRIVATE CITIZEN where she then gave the money to charity. He JUST went over & told yall to die mad about it

I’m so excited to host the @justicecommittee.bsky.social annual party fundraiser #JusticeStateofMind! Make a donation to help JC support families whose loved ones were killed by police & organize for change for decades to come: tinyurl.com/f7d33f8w. I am matching all donations up to $1,000!!!

It sucks the way the humanities are being eroded & labeled unimportant. For every rant against a “new identity,” there is an ancient poem or painting or song or or or that tells us there is nothing new under the sun

Yes I will be fighting back against the unjust firing by @washingtonpost.com. I have filed a grievance and will be represented by none other than the amazing @katiephang.bsky.social and an incredible legal team. Journalistic freedom is a bedrock of a healthy society and is worth battling for.

“DEI” for these people just means integration and the enforcement of civil rights laws www.nytimes.com/2025/09/22/r...

i have seen exactly zero evidence to suggest that peter thiel is anything other than a dumbass who got lucky once

fuuuuuuck this

1,100 people killed on 9/11 in New York City have not had any of their remains identified by authorities. The medical examiner's office is using new technology to identify more people.

"Political violence" is a term that exists to suggest a moral distinction between "violence against politicians" and "violence by politicians" - so that one can be condemned while the other can be normalized. Obviously, no such distinction exists in reality: violence is violence.

When you publish a website that posts the names and photos of scholars who have written or said things you disagree with and encourage people to surveil and harass them, you are not, in fact, a “free speech” organization.

What actually would be useful, though, would be to point out that Kirk’s embrace of violence *was* practicing white conservatism “the right way“—in the way it has historically been practiced. That dynamic would be helpful for people living under fascist state capture to grasp.

Bruh he promoted the very violence that ended his life, but for others. Use your brain parts please & thank you.

I have two professor colleagues who have faced threats and harassment due to the organization Charlie Kirk built, and they were not alone. We can denounce and loathe political violence without hagiography for its victims. This is dangerous nonsense.

US political violence overwhelmingly comes from the right - the side that calls for, glorifies, & literally pardons it

The Heritage Foundation released the following words from the organization's president, Kevin Roberts, about the death of Charlie Kirk: “His martyrdom must be a turning point for our country.” Yes, he said "martyrdom." Remember, we don't even know who killed the man or why.

These conservative movements used both legal & extralegal violence constantly & wove them into the laws & practices of governance that defined the country. Here I talk abt how lynching & voter suppression efforts worked alongside legal suppressionist tactics.

I've written so much abt this, from the relationship of white conservative election violence & suppressionist tactics to those we see today, to broader public-facing pieces on the ways this violence shapes the country we inherit.

These people genuinely know nothing of the history—white conservative state & vigilante violence has been arguably *the defining feature* of U.S. history. They apparently also know very little of the present, in which, again, the very opposite is the case.

Enough.

As stated earlier by others, it does not matter what you post or do not post here. The right wing has their narrative they’re going to push, because they understand they are at war with democracy and that propaganda *works.*

I mean. It doesn't matter if people celebrate or not. Fascists are gonna do what fascists do. They never actually need a real reason.

For everyone saying political violence has no place in this country… Remember two Democratic legislators were shot in Minnesota just this year. And America shrugged and moved on.

I have no idea what white people are talking about right now. The warnings that the fascists will "use this" to do more violence. WHAT WON'T THEY USE? You've watched them deploy the US military on US soil using bullshit pretexts. What even are you talking about?

The context for a lot of the "why don't people make conservative students feel more welcome 😔" contaversies is that a lot of those students see themselves as active enemies of the institutions they're part of.

oh wow the editorial board of WaPo has been totally destroyed

The troubling rise of concentration camp euphemisms

The sitting American president wants to deploy armed troops, acting at his direction, into “every” city in the United States run by members of the opposing political party. The White House admitted this, out loud, as if it were normal. It’s not. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...

getting fired from your job because some dipshit student who missed their calling in the Stasi filmed you talking about gender in a class about gender

if i had the opportunity to ask a question of anyone in the administration, given this "war in chicago" messaging, i would ask them how many americans the president intends to kill in his war

one sign that the “unitary executive” is less the restoration of an older constitutional order and more the imposition of a radical new one is that allowing the president to act untethered from most legal or congressional limits has largely just served to plunge the country into disorder

In 2013, as councilmembers @nyccomptroller.bsky.social and @advocate.nyc.gov @jumaane.bsky.social fought alongside orgs + NYers to create the OIG-NYPD to provide independent oversight of the NYPD. It's deeply troubling (but not surprising) that it has been gutted under NYC Mayor Eric Adams.

trump very clearly sees any attempt to hold a criminal head of state accountable as a threat to his own standing

James Dobson suuuuucks

one question to ask the editorial board is whether there is a minimum bar for what constitutes "american democracy." if most people in most states are gerrymandered out of effective political representation, is that democracy?
