Throwback to these little Moo Deng drawings from last year. 💜

This is also an extremely common cause of death for incarcerated Americans in federal & state custody, btw. All of these systems are connected.

Low effort meme-ing.

always thinking about how sex-segregated toilets can be traced back to victorian england only designating public restrooms for men as a way to control women's ability to be out in public away from the home and the anti-trans backlash has convinced ppl that sex-segregated spaces are a win for women

A trans woman publicly accused Epstein of sexual assault when she was a minor in 2007 and everyone treated it as a joke. nymag.com/intelligence...

right like it seriously needs to be reiterated a billion times that the incidents here aren't conspiratorially unique but a machinic form of patriarchal violence and violation that occurs in fractals and scales at all levels of society. sexual abuse is the glue of structures of exploitation

You can always check here to find some bail funds to support: www.communityjusticeexchange.org/en/nbfn-dire... - not all bail funds are part of the network but all who are part of the network are vetted.

O cool The hypothesis that the elite were trying to segrigate trans people from society purely to keep us as sex slaves was real, but only for trans women since they see trans men as undesirable for sex and want them eliminated which is EXACTLY THE POLICIES AND RHETORIC WE'RE SEEING HAPPEN RIGHT NOW

the kids are alright

Kenneth Zucker, one of the researchers on this study previously published a research paper where he asked adults to rate the physical attractiveness of children. Just to give you an idea of the types of people behind this m

A new statement from Epstein survivors: "Once again, survivors are having their names and identifying information exposed, while the men who abused us remain hidden and protected. That is outrageous."

You don't have to have your gender figured all the way out to transition. You can just fuck around.

A Minnesota woman observing ICE agents in her car was cornered on one-way streets. An agent approached, called her by name—citing facial recognition. Days later, her Global Entry and TSA privileges were revoked, with no explanation.

The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.

a lot of gender here, but the big one I see: as soon as we stray from the charmed circle of white women’s innocence by having a contrary opinion and standing up for it, we are made monstrous, traitors who get off on what they insist are merely fantasies of our own degradation

people talking about a non-binary person: "she- i mean them- oh i mean they! gosh it's so hard to remember 😥 and confusing! cause plural?!" people talking about a trans woman: "oh i met them last week, they seem nice. yea they go by she/her... themishly..."

ICE is now buying e-commerce warehouses to convert into jails. www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

getting into journaling is fun cause you try to do it at the end of the day and it's like "eh my brain is mush better do it in the morning" then you try to do it the morning and it's like "welp nothing's happened yet better do it later"

ICE has been holding a disabled Black man for a year! Rodney Taylor is a double amputee who was days away from receiving new prosthetic legs when ICE took him. He’s been denied his prosthetics & placed in solitary. His health is declining. Public outrage might save his life. Say his name:

TikTok immediately banning one of the bravest and courageous Palestinian journalists (still alive) during a genocide tells you all you need to know

Absolutely wretched garbage. If you're wondering why Aranofsky is doing this, his company has a contract with Google DeepMind to continue to push this AI shit that honestly looks terrible. I wonder if "directing" for him just means "I directed people to input these prompts"? What a joke.

🧵 2 neo-Nazis arrested buying machine guns as part of an alleged scheme to launch a paramilitary DEATH SQUAD Timely announcement as ICE has announced they are surging Springfield, Ohio. Ryan Christopher Patrick of North Carolina aka “Finnegus” was a member of Blood Tribe (Neo-Nazi groups).

Just started doing new data analysis and I know I keep saying this, but: I really, really don't think people appreciate how much this moral panic was a deliberate and extremely expensive invention.

if MN Dems had a spine they'd impeach him for saying this lol

liberals freaked the fuck out at this take and did their usual "pretending not to understand things" bit to attack Jessie, but it was absolutely true.

Dudes Rock

The ICE agent who murdered Renee Good was part of Trump’s ICE, Biden’s ICE, and Obama’s ICE.

noticed a trend this week where both the right and some liberals have been like "just realized the left actually means what they say about stuff"

this is why they invented the whole notion of "virtue signaling". they wanted it all to be empty posturing, they wanted to denigrate the act of standing up and be seen doing something virtuous, all because genuine virtue and bravery are completely alien to them.

One small thing you can do today: ICE is ramping up in Maine. Food For All is delivering meals to 300 families that can't leave their homes. They need $7k a day to continue operations. The Culture Study community is raising enough to cover a day—join us? Donate directly: givebutter.com/Scx87A or

About a week before federal agents shot him to death, Pretti “stopped his car after observing ICE agents chasing what he described as a family on foot, and began shouting and blowing his whistle.” ICE tackled him to the ground and broke his rib. “That day, he thought he was going to die.”

If you're a nail polish person, the MN-based small polish maker Atomic Polish is selling Ice Out, and 100% of the proceeds of it are going to the Immigrant Rapid Response Fund

I think the discussion at the end here about the relationship to global capitalism is important. Whichever term we pick (neo-feudal or neo-royal), we need to consider contemporary authoritarianism as enmeshed with and facilitated by the existing global economic order, rather than threatened by it

Literally my entire state--BEAUTIFUL NEW JERSEY--qualifies as "the border" and it is the most densely populated state in entire country. This is fucking nothing.

It is hard to grasp but large masses of Americans are both racist/xenophobic AND not racist/xenophobic enough to applaud what Trump is doing. It's goldilocks shit, they want a level of racism/xenophobia calibrated exactly to their personal preferences, and you just can't make that policy. Don't try.

Democrats may think they are softening the message when they say things like "Abolish Trump's ICE" but this is a mistake. The qualifier of "Trump's" shows a deflection of Dem responsibility for perpetuating this agency and funding it.

One armed goon loses his shit at an observer who's backing up, and then several more armed goons tackle the observer to the ground, and then even more armed goons form a protective shield around the armed goons handcuffing the observer for hurting an armed goon's feelings. This can't be "reformed"

It's really distressing the extent to which in all of this Silverio Villegas González, the first man to be murdered by ICE in the streets, has been almost completely forgotten Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

in a red dead mood

"Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect." - Frank Wilhoit Now you understand the difference between Rittenhouse and Pretti.

just gonna throw out a quick reminder that in America police kill a yearly average of 3 civilians per day, routinely in situations very similar to these ICE killings, and decades of explicit support for police impunity by US politicians is why ICE feels theyre able to get away with this right now

Facts. The playbook is older than all of us. "Black people don't ACTUALLY want to be treated as equals, they're just Soviet-trained commie agitators" used to be the line.

Thinzar Shunlei Ye, a activist leader from Myanmar, also talks about her perspective on what's happening.

36-year-old Nicaraguan national Victor Manuel Diaz died in ICE custody on Jan. 14 at Camp East Montana in El Paso. The Texas Nicaraguan Community on FB reports that his mom last heard from him on Jan. 6, when he told her he was planning to go to Minneapolis to start work in a restaurant. 1/3

let’s be primitive horses with mama

NEW: Dozens of detained immigrant families braved the cold outside the Dilley, TX facility to protest conditions and long detentions, sparked by the recent arrest of 5 y.o. Liam Conejo Ramos. A detainee said the boy & his dad briefly participated. apnews.com/article/texa...
