Today’s xkcd made me cry. In a good way. xkcd.com/3172/

Please stop using language that suggests that people with criminal records are appropriate targets for this administration's violence. One in three adults has a criminal record. Stop playing sacrifice games with fascists. Stop surrendering entire categories of people in your own mind.

I just don’t see how we can pretend even for a moment that anything involving our federal government is remotely normal when the president is covering up his involvement in a child sex trafficking ring. Like, what are we doing here

Hi everyone!! As the holidays approach, it is time for a mass boycott! Just imagine the impact if people didn’t flood Amazon with holiday orders this year?? If the economy didn’t boom these last two months with billions in sales as it usually does?? Please share this everywhere!!!!

If you haven't signed up for a migra watch or legal observer training yet time to do it comrades

I would laugh if this wasn't so true 😭

There's nothing illegal about ICE block. This is solely about Apple appeasing the Trump regime. With Google removing sideloading next year, these companies will have total control over what runs on your phone. www.businessinsider.com/apple-iceblo...

Some stories you may not be aware of if you’re not inside the circles where tech industry workers talk to each other: the groups at Microsoft that have been organizing for years to stop providing tech to enable genocide scored their first massive victory last week. www.theverge.com/news/785733/...

As you cancel streaming services, here is a casual reminder that only 16% of Americans read for pleasure anymore, and your local library has hundreds or thousands of books you haven't read. They would love to see you stop by and renew your library card.

I crocheted Patti Smith’s Horses cover

The entire global economy is currently so over-leveraged on "AI" that if we don't find a credible use case for it, and fast, we're likely to tumble into an economic meltdown of 2008 proportions, so please, your corporate overlords beg you, use "AI" to write that fucking email

The administration plans to attack public festivities in Chicago around Mexican Independence Day (which may include this weekend's parade in Pilsen or related activities) because they want to attack folks in settings where people will try to protect and hold onto community members.

Happy Labor Day! We labor too much! I wrote on the beauty of not working. jacobin.com/2025/09/we-d...

I think one of the things people misunderstand about being anti-ChatGPT and related products is that they are being forced into institutions and other products and services in ways that affect all of our lives whether they work or *not* and we will all have to deal with the consequences

One cool way to solve homelessness that isn’t an authoritarian take over of a city is to give everyone homes

We view hoarding as a mental disorder except in the one very specific case of money, and it’s killing the planet

America constantly tells teachers that they’re supposed to do it for the love of the job, not to get “rich” at 50K. But then you’ve got members of Congress making almost 200K acting like they’ll starve if they can’t do insider trading and manipulate the stock market

A very good thread from one of my favorite posters about how good, useful mental health care and police culture aren’t complementary or compatible

When you strip away humanity

I think some people have trouble seeing fascism as anything other than 1940s Germany. But I think 'people going to a comic convention needing to have a plan in case the government's goons show up to disappear people' is a pretty good demonstration of what it can look like in 2025.

Very instructive thread 🧵

This is correct. Any candidate cynically “triangulating” on trans kids is a non-starter, and now is the time to say so. There’s still so much time to advance candidates that DON’T suck.

I think talking immediately about how it's too bad Zohran can't run for president or how Lander should run for Congress is missing the point. we don't need to elevate individual heroes as high as possible, we need to find as many principled people as possible and empower them everywhere

Do it, lady. On the left, start it. On the right, start it. On the left, I suggest, while we’re left, start it. Btw she’s arguing with a family friend who’s also a lawyer.

Yall asking Grok questions like it’s not pumping out 1000 cubic meters of poison gas into South Memphis every 15 minutes all so MFs can get a corny ass screenshot to dunk on.

ZACH DE LA ROCHA: some of those that work forces are the same that burn crosses SOCIAL MEDIA: wow, "some"? way to hand-wave the complicity of the power structure. unbelievable. never meet your heroes I guess. do better

I wish private equity could buy climate change so it would stop working

Why am I squeezing in a conference before I go on medical leave? Because it's my favorite conference of the year. These are the people I want to be with when so many things are going wrong. For those of you who aren't at @socialismconference.org, here are some remarks I shared today.

ICEblock, which allows users to alert others to the geographical location of ICE officers, is the top social networking app in the App Store right now after Karoline Leavitt condemned it from the podium yesterday.

There is plenty of stuff even rich people aren’t allowed to own. You can’t have a nuclear weapon. You can’t have a mountain gorilla if you’re not a licensed facility. Expand the list of shit no one is allowed to own or use.

it’s even more demoralizing when the history you’re repeating is history you were around for the first time

I suspect that fact that the vast majority of LLM users don’t seem to have received this (really very simple!) message is because the AI companies have a vested interest in us not understanding it. “ChatGPT is smart, it just makes mistakes sometimes” is much more marketable than the truth.

I still can't get past the idea that people in America are now supposed to accept that this is a valid form of law enforcement and just assume it's fine when random dudes in groups with face-coverings, no ID, no warrant, & no uniform grab people off the street and force them into unmarked vehicles

Hey if you're in San Francisco, the wonderful @sourcherrycomics.bsky.social has a ton of copies of the marvel pride issue right now, including variant covers. I strongly encourage you to go over there with fistfuls of cash in your hands

I encourage everyone to consider attending one of the many demonstrations planned for tomorrow across the country. Show up. Demand accountability. Peacefully protest. Find the rally closest to you: NoKings.org

@prisonculture.bsky.social and I have been encouraging people to read chapter six of our book, Let This Radicalize You, which deals with the question of "violence" in social movements. We have decided to share the chapter publicly, to offer some context and grounding for the current conversation.

ICE is a criminal organization willfully carrying out illegal orders and the people of California are right to resist this. respect to the fighters and power to the people
