At EFF, we were proud to publicly and loudly support the legal profession and, most importantly, continue to do our work challenging the government’s erosion of digital rights—work that became even more critical as many law firms shied away from pro bono work. eff.org/deeplinks/2...

Printing postcards for the Borikén Mail Club (prev. my Ko-fi Monthly Supporters) is one of my favorite things. Not just seeing the colors come to life, but the sensory feel of the fine art paper is so satisfying 🖤 There's still time to sign up this year! → destinytoro.com/join-boriken-mail-club

The smear campaign against Mustapha Kharbouch -- falsely accused of the Brown shooting and MIT murder by powerful politicians, pundits and plutocrats -- is a prime example of how pervasive racism has become. It's also a story largely ignored by the mainstream media www.thenation.com/article/poli...

Please do not purchase Luck be a Landlord on Xbox. I will be making a $10,000 donation to The Palestine Children's Relief Fund to (hopefully) help offset the revenue the game has generated for Microsoft.

I’m planning a column about women and games next year. I want to discuss how stories about women are told/received in games, and how does womens’ criticism exist- where/what is it? If you are a woman game writer/dev/critic and would like to share your thoughts, dm or email [email protected] !

A slate of Palestinian American children’s book creators reflect on the need for more books that represent their culture and heritage buff.ly/lw3sAbU

It's not sustainable to pay for every newsletter and Patreon you want to support. I subscribe to MANY and I am going to have to unsubscribe to some because it is costing me thousands of dollars a year (over $3000). More collectivist options need to be developed.

Israel has kept attacking Gaza during the first phase, so what will the second phase bring?

Israel hunted a 70 year old lady down with a gun drone and then hoovered above to make sure she bled out next to her dying son. They both join almost 1,000 Palestinians Israel has massacred or maimed in its genocide during the "ceasefire". www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/12...

"Our analysis shows that in the aftermath of extreme weather events, lower-income neighbourhoods are less likely to rebuild and do not return to their pre-disaster state, whereas higher-income areas rebuild and tend to improve...highlighting increasing disparities in their built environments."

Our 2024 analysis of EPA data found that, in every census block in the country, the risk of getting cancer from exposure to formaldehyde in outdoor air over a lifetime is higher than the EPA'S ideal limit of one cancer in a million people projects.propublica.org/formaldehyde....

NEW: Last year we found the acceptable level of exposure to formaldehyde set by the EPA left people at risk for cancer. Now the Trump administration has roughly doubled it www.propublica.org/article/epa-...

The time for neoliberal diaspora poetry, fiction, nonfiction is over. Thos is the home country. This our home, and language is a blade. The time for rage and blades is now.

Former Philippine President Duterte awaits trial in the ICC for using the pretext of a drug war for his murder campaign.

"A nation that cannot face its own history cannot repair its present." "A country that denies genocide cannot claim justice." "A society that clings to myth will repeat the violence it refuses to see." #USA #Genocide #Incarceration #Deportation #EthnicCleansing

These are screenshots from an actual DHS press release that just went out offering "self-deportation" as a "gift" to "illegal aliens" this holiday season. This administration is truly repugnant.

¡Wepa! Un pequeño #shamlessplug. El miércoles 3 de diciembre voy a estar dando un taller sobre podcasts narrativos. Es un incentivo para que te unas a la membresía de Guardianes de la corilla de #9Millones. Lee todos los detalles aquí: bit.ly/9Mstudio2

I’m tired of human rights violations, atrocities, colonial crimes being framed as “forgotten” or “unknown”. They’re not, there’s testimonies, documented evidence, survivors still alive. That you who is member of the perpetrators’ country were not taught that does not mean no one else knew about it.

the primary thing that TPUSA provides to young conservatives is a blueprint for weaponizing the abject cowardice of university administrators against individual teachers and instructors, and university admins should take a long look in the mirror and think about what that says about them

Javier Sanchez Mendoza Jr. helped Sofi secure an H-2A visa, promising a job on a Georgia blueberry farm. When she arrived, she was not sent out to work in the fields like the others. She was forced to live at his house and sign a marriage license. By @maxblau.bsky.social

Does make me wonder if Slotkin, Kelly, and the rest of Congress were hearing stuff prompting the video they made about not following illegal orders

Look forward to Bari Weiss asking "has identity politics gone too far?" while studiously ignoring the most virulent identity politics driving American government

Brazil approves the first vaccine against dengue. The disease killed 6000 Brazilians in 2024. This is a really remarkable achievement. I got dengue in 2015, and even with the mild case I had, it was a really miserable experience.

"Miles said her son and uncle were both detained by ICE agents who initially did not accept their tribal IDs before they were eventually let go."

⭕️ Palestinian resistance leaders told Drop Site that a total surrender of weapons is “not up for discussion.” But, as Jeremy Scahill notes, “there’s nuance in the position of Hamas and Islamic Jihad on this issue that never gets reported.” PIJ’s chief negotiator, Dr. Mohammad al-Hindi...

Ban on Palestine Action is repugnant and should be lifted, high court told

In this week's guide: a Palestinian epic, an anti-capitalist nature doc, a must-watch five-and-a-half-hour doc about resisting fascism, a doc about a retirement home for musicians in Italy, a Kelly Reichardt film that didn’t get its due during the early days of the pandemic, and Native Nonfiction.

🔴 Breaking: At least 9 Palestinians have been killed in 5 separate attacks across Gaza on Wednesday. ▪️ Beit Lahia (North Gaza): Two Palestinians were killed after Israeli reconnaissance drones struck west of the yellow line. Israel has confirmed the strike; video is attached.

The problem with ICE is not that it's targeting people who aren't criminals. The problem with ICE is that it's an unaccountable secret deportation police. It cannot be reformed under a better president. It can be made less terrible, but the instrument of repression remains for the next tyrant.

Themed crowdfunding months provide creative ways to bring together associated tabletop creators and raise consistent money. But as the trend spreads, the calendar is beginning to feel mighty crowded.

1/ THREAD: This year ICE has sent a record 600 immigrant kids into federal shelters, more than in the previous four years combined. Data suggests some are being separated from their families. For one 15-year-old, it began with a cracked windshield 👇

DriveThruRPG's new Partner Shipping Program has drawn criticism from several corners of the tabletop industry, with professionals calling it "a half solution" and an “outright a bad deal”.

MÖRK BORG: Heresy Supreme's alpha demo not only nails the aesthetics of its source material but also introduces a satisfying roguelike loop, says @crapstacular.bsky.social.

The Trump administration has pardoned several criminals, many of whom who have broken the law again. This woman stole money from an employer as a college student. That was 24 years ago. Since then she started a business and a family. Now she is hauled back to country she left as a child in shackles.
