🧵I posted before about Kirk & the Seven Mountain Mandate This cannot be taken lightly Kirk was deeply associated with the Christian nationalist “dominionist” movement, which asserts that Christians have been called to exert God’s will on society The last part of this thread sums it up with Trump

In May, Kordia’s legal team told reporters that she hadn’t had access to halal meals, which meant she had lost nearly 50 pounds since her arrest in mid-March.

Now, she is using her platform to bring attention to the plight of women in detention, like 32-year-old Palestinian Leqaa Kordia, the second Columbia University protester arrested this spring, who has since been dubbed “the forgotten prisoner” while sitting in ICE detention for nearly six months.

I’m no fancy politics guy, but i’d say any country where you can’t put a man in prison for accepting a literal bag full of cash in exchange for favors from the government is not, in fact, a functioning state.

THIS IS A BFD

It is a long running bipartisan position that ‘terror’ suspects can be killed without evidence or process and that ‘drugs’ are a major problem that require a military solution. Both wrong, but this is how we got here.

Arrested because a white woman demanded he change the way he was sitting and when he didn’t, she complained to the conductor about his posture. His posture.

remembering this untouchable pair of comments

Get in losers, we’re grieving

This is murder, ordered by Trump, plain and simple.

It’s not just that the President of the United States posted a video of eleven people being murdered in international waters it’s that the President of the United States ordered the murder of eleven people in international waters so he could post a video of it.

The first time Trump made the national news was 1973 when Richard Nixon's, (Richard Nixon's), justice department said he and his dad violated fair housing by having managers write C for colored on rental apps, so they would know not to rent to blacks or Latinos.

It strikes me that quite a lot of people knew for the last year that the guy running our horrific deportation squads took a bag with $50k in cash from undercover FBI agents investigating corruption, and it didn’t get out until now.

Wishing everyone a great Fall.

"Fifty-three percent of Democratic voters said they preferred politicians described as similar to Sanders, Ocasio-Cortez and Mamdani, while 33 percent favored those similar to Schumer, Jeffries and Pelosi. Fourteen percent didn’t choose."

“The Horst Wesselification of Charlie Kirk” sounds like a Philip K. Dick novel en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horst_W...

What if we kissed next to the Wu-Tang coffee table

To be clear: this entire “we’ve got to run more pro-lifers” insanity is because literally a week ago polling showed that Democrats would prefer politicians like AOC and Mamdani over Jefferies and Schumer by, let me emphasize this, a 20 point fucking margin. www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

At the Nuremberg trials, Karl Dönitz was convicted of war crimes for the sinking of civilian vessels. This is not a complicated question, it's been illegal for centuries.

Do you remember, the 21st night of whatever?

My daughter, an hour into this movie: they shouldn’t have bought a zoo.

A fun fact about McCarthyism is that just two and a half years after he was condemned and censured, Sen. Joseph McCarthy drank himself to death at 48. Fevers break. Petty tyrants fall. Censorship and persecution drive good people to stand together and fight back.

this storm system looks like a bad AI drawing of goggles

Oxford is giving their students and staff technology that doesn’t work. www.computerworld.com/article/4059...

So. Again: There's no such thing as a "Generative AI" system that doesn't generate bullshit, because the processes whereby bullshit is generated are the exact same processes via which "Gen AI" do anything at all. And this was obvious from even a broadly theoretical understanding of their operations

But I've said all this before.

I have been saying this for 3 years now; it is evident from even a theorerical understanding of these systems' operations. But ppl keep claiming it's not true or not important, or could be patched over, & so I keep hoping each time an "AI" company CEO comes out & admits will be the one that sticks

"I exist" whoa slow down why are you bringing politics into this

Bob Iger needs to publicly apologize to Jimmy Kimmel and then step down. Disney needs a CEO who won’t completely cave under pressure.

New: Sarah MacLachlan, Jewel, and more musicians scheduled to perform at tonight's premiere for Hulu's ABC News doc LILITH FAIR have all pulled out after Disney scrapped the red carpet. First notable talent consequence of the Jimmy Kimmel situation.

Keep in mind there's nothing preventing the US from doing nonlethal searches and seizures. The Coast Guard and sometimes Navy often does this. In the time between the 1st and 3rd deadly US strike, sailors from the USS Jason Dunham stopped and searched a ship. The strikes are a deliberate choice.

Y'all, please call, email, and/or write your representatives, then share WIDELY what this administration is doing to scapegoat, oppress, and violently erase trans folks. We need EVERYONE in on this.

While ppl are boycotting Disney a reminder that Sinclair and Nexstar are also the problem. They started this. Canceling Disney subscriptions hurts Disney but does nothing to Sinclair/Nexstar. We also need to boycott companies that advertise on Nexstar and Sinclair stations.

You guys, so many Romance girlies are reading "On Tyranny" that they've broken the Goodreads recommendations algorithm. 10/10; no notes. #romancelandia

“Morally speaking, there is no limit to the concern one must feel for the suffering of human beings, that indifference to evil is worse than evil itself, that in a free society, some are guilty, but all are responsible.” ―Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel

NEW: Australia, Canada, and the United Kingdom announced today that they have all recognized the State of Palestine

The fossil fuel industry floats on the biggest public subsidy in human history.

Much of the cardboard and paper goods strewn about our homes are sold by a single private company, with its name, Uline, stamped on the bottom. Many may not know that a multibillion-dollar fortune made on those ubiquitous products fuels far-right candidates across the country. (Published 2022)

🐶🐼There's particular delight in print review & MA|DE was lucky enough to experience that this week thanks to reviewer Matt Boylan, writing for @theampersandreview.bsky.social. Boylan has many insightful & laudatory things to say about ZZOO @palimpsestpress.bsky.social, including:

Willie Nelson’s son Lucas talks about farm app (jd vance) on Farm Aid. Making it convenient and easy for private equity to scoop it up while they put family farms out of business with their bullshit tariffs.

Your regular reminder that cities aren’t loud. Cars are loud.
