"I, John Brown, am now quite certain that the crimes of this guilty land will never be purged away but with blood. I had, as I now think vainly, flattered myself that without very much bloodshed it might be done."

Paypal is now playing harder ball on artists, going after anyone even mentioning commissions. Artists, send invoices. That way, no one has to say what the money is for on Paypal's paper trail. Customers, SAY NOTHING about commissions. Just say "thanks" on donos. Everyone: INCREASE THE CALLS.

I see protest discourse is hitting the feed again ahead of No Kings—idk man, go, don’t go, …but if you do go make sure to link up with an org that’ll help you get into longterm organizing and if you don’t go, make sure to link up with an org that’ll help you get into longterm organizing

the president using the office to punish americans that didnt vote for him should really be one of the biggest scandals in americas history

Greta Thunberg's story is entirely consistent with the four Australians reported by @deepcutnews.bsky.social. If the IDF inflicts such deliberate cruelty and degradation on briefly detained foreign nationals, no wonder we are getting such horrifying accounts from recently released Palestinians.

One of the best things you can do for yourself is embrace the fact that some things you like aren't very good and may even be trash

just found out that about a week ago, while george santos has been in solitary confinement, that he wrote that due to the inhuman conditions he is facing he is now pro prison reform. just unreal stuff honestly

there is more socioeconomic inequality now in America between the haves and the have-nots than before the Russian and French revolutions. All of human history is a struggle between the haves and the have-nots. The gestapo is shooting have-nots in the street. how long do we hold our breath?

This is the exact example you should be bringing up when calling and writing to your representatives about digital age verification

Good reporting on the South Shore raid from South Side weekly here. Confirms one thing I was told but didn't put in my own piece because I didn't have a second source and it seemed too insane: border agents segregated arrested residents by race southsideweekly.com/federal-agen...

Aleta is just over half-way to her goal of $400!! shes a cool black trans creative struggling to get heating paid for in their place as the autumn/winter months roll in. genuinely would go a really long way to helping her quality of life if people could kick a few bucks over ko-fi.com/thefinalstar

I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win

seen a few 'they clearly haven't thought this through' comments wrt stuff like this & no no, they have. racists being able to go around hassling & attacking people on a whim is the goal of these policies, this is what they want

Found this on the AO3 subreddit, and I'm about to let it change my whole life (or at least work really hard to internalize it wrt my writing).

TERRORISM EXPERT HERE: This statement is a clear example of what is known as “State Terrorism”: When the dictatorship will order all instruments of its state security & intelligence apparatus against its own citizens to terrorize the population.

happy snoopy day to all who celebrate

there’s no other way to put this other than full military invasion into america

this is a state sponsored terrorist operation being laid out on an american and every one in ICE needs to be treated as if they are terrorists after trumps regime is over

I'm serious email your representatives and link this article RIGHT NOW tell them this shit sucks and is going to put everyone's ID/data at risk to hackers online. the proof is right here US- www.congress.gov/members/find... EU- www.europarl.europa.eu/meps/en/home CA- www.ourcommons.ca/members/en

The word has always been meaningless but ICE truly does deserve to be designated as a terrorist organization

Let’s give these motherfuckers bribing and kidnapping children as much attention as possible

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) previously told Truthout in an email that Guevara was in custody because he entered the country illegally in 2004, which is false. Guevara came to the U.S. on a B1 visa, is authorized to work in the United States, and has a social security number.

This week, the Global Sumud Flotilla tried to deliver life-saving aid to Gaza. Instead, 461 people—including New Yorkers—have been detained by the Israeli military. They must be freed at once. And the deliberate starvation of Palestinians must end now.

State of Illinois now doing the goons' job for them.

@govpritzker.illinois.gov owns every arrest and act of violence against protesters this morning. He is aiding and abetting Operation Midway Blitz by allowing state cops to do this. He tells us to film ICE. His cops have shoved me around for filming this morning.

BREAKING: Our client Mario Guevara, an Emmy-winning journalist detained by ICE in retaliation for livestreaming law enforcement activity, will be deported tomorrow to El Salvador. Mario and his family are being punished for his reporting. This cruelty is meant to stifle our free press.

Look here if you can't find your reps! Call them, *especially* your red ones, and tell them trans healthcare will NOT be used as a bargaining chip to end the shutdown. Intimidation with numbers guys

She is one of our true elders and there are so few left. She deserves the best healthcare available, but this is America. Full story: www.advocate.com/news/stonewa...

Al Jazeera reports on Israel intercepting the global sumud flotilla, boarding boats & detaining people. Those boats were in international waters & what Israel is doing is piracy and kidnapping. Where is the condemnation from our govt?

I wish I had something more substantial to say about it but I hope the flotilla makes it through. I don't think there's anything more worth our attention at this exact moment

🏳️‍⚧️ mutual aid request 🏳️‍⚧️ if anyone has the means to spare, even a few bucks, olesky could really use the help right now. it's looking really tight for her, and anything would help give her a little help on making sure she can stay fed and homed it would be kind if ppl could help boost !! 🧡 love yall

Spent the last decade reading conservative blogs use the word "Orwellian" more than they used the word "the" and now they're literally just saying "War is Peace" out loud in front of everybody.

be firm. threaten to take away their precious votes. make it abundantly clear that you would rather the govt shut down than throw trans people under the bus

if you have democrat rep/senators i recommend calling and reminding them you will never vote for them again if they bend the knee on this. shutting down the government is the correct choice. that is the exact phrasing in my 3 calls and it took 5 min total bsky.app/profile/pink...

ICE is one of the most well funded military force on the planet, entirely used internally on it’s own citizens, and completely loyal to a far right fascist dictator. if democratic politicians are not on board with abolishing ICE, they must be replaced

this business model should be flatly illegal taking on a bunch of debt to buy a company and then burning the company to the ground to service that debt while paying yourselves huge fees is a purely destructive practice that has never once had a positive outcome ban it completely

this is christian nationalism on full display. this is the most consequential moment in our countries history. this cannot stand, if it does america is finished

For-profit age-verification providers are now pushing for "continuous biometric monitoring" — AI scans of your face, your voice, your behavior — while you're online to protect children. Every session. Every website. Every keystroke. Monitored and recorded.

Feelings don't care about your facts

the fact that so many people frame autism as “a problem that needs to be solved” is a constant reminder that being “not normal” isn’t acceptable to a large amount of the world. it’s the same reason there’s a trans panic right now too. they think people are defective

It's all fun and games until a cop handles a Tylenol gelcap with no gloves and within seconds their socks are bothering them.

I think it's pretty funny that the DHS can post an atrocious video to their official government twitter and the only person whose face is unblurred is an extremely copyrighted anime character
