this kid was spirited away to a "short-term residency program" owned by Bethany Christian Services, an evangelical adoption agency connected to Betsy DeVos

Disunited, the workers are nothing. United, they are everything.

Just saw a billboard for the abstract concept of "bears" (the animal)

Forensic Architecture and Earshot have found in a joint investigation that Israeli occupation soldiers fired over 900 bullets within two hours, with 780+ of them directly aimed and at least 8 point blank, at a humanitarian aid convoy on March 23rd 2025.

ALB Volunteer Thomas Page talks about his determination to fight amid the difficult conditions in Spain: "You give it everything you possibly can. You want to win...It was cold in Spain, very cold, but you want to win." #BlackHistoryMonth

I don't understand why people think this is a negative

I think a shorter version of this point is: Catholicism predates capitalism. Catholicism predates the printing press. Trying to interpret it through the lens of present day American political factionalism doesn't really work and erases many of the forms of oppression that it has perpetrated.

my five heads of marxism? garment factory wimmin, wimmin raising children on a food service job’s wage, childcare workyrs, lesbian mechanics, and call center workyrs

Liberalism and liberal values can only be truly and completely achieved through total social leveling and a ruthlessly enforced egalitarianism of outcomes. What ideology is this?

Let's all grow in holiness with mama

As long as we're all living and care about living we've got to live together. Everything we do should be about facilitating living together, for *everyone*

Maybe talking about Christianity is pointless. Either you think the manger-cross-empty tomb has meaning (whether or not you believe) or you think it's a crock. And with history and all, lotta good people can't have any truck with churches no matter what. Can't blame them, really

Even the concentration camps for Japanese-Americans had ample rec space. These are torture camps

Opportunism means sacrificing the permanent and essential interests of the party to momentary, transient and minor interests.

I have had alcoholic beverages that, God forgive me, I've enjoyed, but I've never had an alcoholic beverage that was pleasant to drink

I find this recent trend of "grandparent names" to be rather off-putting. Now, if a small child dubs one "gramps" or "mimi" because they are small and can't pronounce big words that is cute and should be adopted. But why are old people adopting childishness themselves?

Cattle aren't stupid. Stop calling those you find unintelligent cattle. Cows are actually really smart. #NukeTheBeefIndustry

Queen Elizabeth's brooches but real

Just found out that otters are not only a protected animal in the DPRK (designated by the state as a living natural monument), but they also have a large otter reserve in Poptong County with deep valleys and many streams full of catfish, minnow, loach, crayfish and crabs for them to enjoy 🤎

This situation must change. It is the task of the people of the whole world to put an end to the aggression and oppression perpetrated by imperialism, and chiefly by U.S. imperialism.

right, fascism is a mass politics. not a conspiracy that is placed upon an unwilling and reluctant people that secretly rejects it, but it's the transformation of social relations into something that instrumentalizes the whole people to serve the nation at the expense of "undesirables"

Hope lives

Flock surveillance camera sabotage has been reported in at least five states: Oregon, California, Illinois, Connecticut, and Virginia. In Suffolk, Virginia, one man, Jeffery Scott Sovern, singlehandedly dismantled 13 Flock cameras over the course of 2025. s

"Shirsho Dasgupta, a Miami Herald reporter who found that, as of late August [2025], about two-thirds of the 1,800 immigrants who were held there in July have gone missing from ICE’s online database, with their families and attorneys unable to locate them."

🔴 NEW: More than 75,200 people were killed during Israel’s military campaign in Gaza between Oct. 7, 2023 and Jan. 5, 2025 — roughly 25,000 more than the 49,090 violent deaths reported by Gaza’s Health Ministry for the same period — according to a new population-representative study published in...

Truth bomb

In my continued descent into petty bourgeois idealism I'm becoming increasingly fond of Billy Bragg's version of The Internationale. Someone launch a rectification movement against me please

“The National Lawyers Guild has likened the Prairieland case to the post-1945 Second Red Scare, the FBI’s persecution of the Civil Rights movement, and the Green Scare of the early 2000s that targeted the radical environmental movement, arguing that a modern “Antifa Scare” is playing out”

children should stay within the lines when filling out coloring books imo

Generally speaking one of the main things you want in order to ensure success when planning a military operation is a goal. Any goal at all. But in this case, bombing Iran *is* the goal, because a bunch of dudes have been edging to this possibility for 5 decades, with no thought of *why*

There is a cognitive dissonance at play where because people understand that something is illegal and horrendous they do not understand that it is also ubiquitous and common.

On all sides, at every step one comes across problems which man is quite capable of solving immediately, but capitalism is in the way. It has amassed enormous wealth—and has made men the slaves of this wealth.

I don't think that I've ever left a movie theater mad. I was very depressed after seeing The Sound of Freedom, if that counts

And to be clear, the "no plan" isn't a mistake, the lack of plan is the plan. We don't want even an authoritarian pro-Israel/pro-US junta akin to KSA or Jordan ruling in Tehran. We want (as we have explicitly said over and over for 2+ years) the destruction of the Iranian national entity.

Interesting position rn where Iran could wipe most of the US operational air force within about 20 minutes with a preemptive barrage of <100 missiles w/submunition warheads. All those aircraft are just parked in Jordan, Saudi, and Qatar. They won't, though.

I am awake for no good reason

I'm basically an anarchist but the sort of anarchist who believes in a bureaucratic and centralized authority capable of coordinating and directing every issue of social life in service of the people in service of the ideal

Why is clothing so irrational. Why is there such a deluge of things

Gaza this Ramadan, 2026

I suppose I get that moral OCD is undesirable but my gut feeling is that it's a lesser evil than not thinking about your/others actions and thoughts at all

mercy and grace to the living; pardon and rest to the dead

Who?

This is the kind of thing white supremacists have been doing to Emmett Till’s memorial for decades. It’s wild to see them do this to a white woman who the entire world saw extrajudicially murdered.
