Asking someone to play by 'the rules' on a tilted playing field while the other side is literally stealing the winnings and rewriting the rules on the fly is ... a very privileged take from someone who does not feel threatened.

it's absolute cognitive dissonance

Reading this, I'm seeing something I call the swerve there are people, usually with a high level of in-born privilege, who *will not see certain things.* They just *won't.* And if you put it in front of their faces they will do ANYTHING to insist it's not there. Klein keeps swerving.

Our current apocalypse is entirely driven by the fact that billionaires have convinced people that there’s not enough in the world to sustain us all and so we must fight each other to hoard and survive. In fact, there is more than enough to sustain us—it’s the hoarding that’s the problem.

oh yes the war-ravaged streets of PDX long terrorized by independent coffee roasters, bespoke donuts, hoppy beer, billowing clouds of pot smoke and thc gummy vending machines on every corner (I wish); robust civic arts funding and MFA programs corrupting youth to recruit them into antifa... 1/2

a howling night

Y'all, maybe (just maybe) the reduction of every terrible idea and rancid bigotry into mere "personal differences" and "deeply-held beliefs" to endlessly "have a conversation" over was really bad and paved the way for fascism. Maybe the way out involves rejecting that.

I rarely defend Americans, but we shouldn't forget that American GenZ started the student protests in 2023, were beaten to a pulp by police, got thrown out of school, lost scholarships, had their degrees revoked, etc. An Egyptian friend of mine joked "those kids were Arab Springed" Funny but true.

art doesn't necessarily topple empire on its own as a force. but it is a danger to empire because it enables us to collaboratively imagine, envision, and dream how to build a better world together. I'll always insist on art's importance to our collective humanity. we need that now more than ever.

You're telling me that when the majority of books under attack are books by and about BIPOC and queer identities, and that this present wave of bans is an attempt to erase marginalized representation entirely, that ALA chose to theme Banned Books Week around George Orwell's 1984?

Felix Gonzalez-Torres's Untitled (Death by Gun) is a stack of posters listing the more than 460 people killed by firearms during a single week in 1989. Viewers are invited to take a poster as the stack is constantly replenished www.moma.org/collection/w...

Leave it to libs to rhetorically cede the victory at hand in advance lol

"I just don't want to see death camps" bet me neither that's why we have to abolish "troubled teens wilderness camps" and juvie and jail and prison and ICE camps and Gitmo

I'm so tired of hearing "oh no fascism is finally here" when ACTUALLY it is that global fascism is in its extinction burst era, it's just death throe-ing so hard that regular people are waking up to how much room there actually foundationally is to do fascism in the USA

The victims were detainees, not ICE. Pass it on. These assholes are creating a fake race war so their supporters will start a real one.

DHS itself has confirmed that the victims were detainees but Noem and Vance have already jumped to reframe the attack as anti-law enforcement violence.

Bullies really do not know what the fuck to do when you finally stand up to them

A brief thread on alt-text. Alt text is descriptive text that conveys the meaning of an image. It's designed to make visual content accessible to people with vision disabilities. When a person uses assistive technology such as a screen reader, the screen reader will read the onscreen text aloud 1/7

Do any of the professors or journalists or teachers also get their jobs back or nah

Too late, Batman. Once this Tylenol floods the city's water supply, my wiki won't run out of editors ever again

A statement from Tylenol

Thanks @mudede.bsky.social for keeping it real and surreal this morning

I feel pretty sure that this administration is fixing to pull the US out of the UN

Some of us do.

super excited for Tylenol Spice lattes

happy rapture day to all who celebrate 🪽✨️

i couldn’t think of anything more eloquent www.thehandbasket.co/p/ice-death-...

l a e r s t' i t i h s oh

The best place to view the rapture is out in the middle of the ocean. 👀

sounds uncannily similar to the group that stormed the Capitol building on January 6, Turning Point USA, Professor Watchlist, etc etc

“Antifa is a militarist, anarchist enterprise that explicitly calls for the overthrow of the United States Government, law enforcement authorities, and our system of law.” Sounds kinda cool.

I'm once again searching for a space in NYC where I can curate a month-long exhibition (Fall 2026 or Spring 2027). Putting it out there because I sometimes get some great space connections from folks on here.

dear Tylenol please sue the Trump administration into absolute oblivion

first of all, Miller stood up there and levied a curse at everyone who doesn't fall in line, making the political spiritual. secondly, the use of the word "republic" instead of "democracy" is deliberate--Kirk was known for making the argument that the US was never meant to/shouldn’t be a democracy.

Zohran hosting a Wu Tang and GWAR double bill trying to pitch his message about free buses while behind him on stage Ghostface is drop kicking a space slug and Method Man and Blothar The Berserker are taking hits from a 12 ft tall bong that's fired up with a flamethrower

the whole thing was designed to incite violence, and that was clear

I want the ghost of Bob Ross to come paint little trees for me when I'm sad.

Jimmy Kimmel was taken off the air after our government threatened a private company with retaliation, marking a dark moment for free speech in our nation. More than 400 artists across our nation signed on to say: We refuse to be silenced by those in power.

Don’t worry! If you need a scholarship, please send an email with “Scholarship request” to [email protected] This summer, we were able to fund more than 40 scholarships for Race, Media, and International Affairs 101. We can’t promise funds for everyone but we will try!

long live GWAR

regardless of whether or not Jimmy Kimmel airs again, it doesn't change the fact that our government attempted to intervene through censorship via the FCC and direct coercion through the administration. this fact remains relevant, and our government still needs to be held accountable for it.

J pod is traveling to places they haven't been in 50 years, like Penn Cove and Vashon Island. They lost a baby, and now have a new one. They're so small, yet so mighty.

Christian nationalists are of course part of the MAGA coalition and embedded deeply in the regime, but part of what makes Trump so successful is his ability to keep his distance from an overt religiosity that makes a lot of voters, especially younger voters, uncomfortable.
