One of the things that goes unremarked in these stories is that they rest on relentless armies of fascist goons who will harass and torment ordinary people for years on end, with no recourse for their victims, and that everyone treat as normal. Cops support it. Gamergate is the law.

The reason you're having trouble concentrating if you are here in the US is because we're basically being chased around by serial killers and being asked to disregard the fact.

Today's action is the single largest mass-illegalization event in US history. 350,000 people woke up this morning with legal status, living and working here with official permission. They'll go to bed as undocumented immigrants facing deportation.

Good morning! 🪶

the new york sewer rats have finally elected a new rat pope

“the law won’t allow that” “what’s he gonna do, fire everyone?” “none of that will happen, he’s too stupid to do it.” the myths and fairytales of the willfully ignorant.

“I mean, what were we thinking, letting children paint murals on underpasses? Handing out grants to novelists with weird names like Marisol or Devin? Some of them were using metaphors. OPENLY.”

someone just shared this with me and it is beyond appalling. sharing in case some of you post ideas / thoughts on Reddit. it's an AI tool where they take a Reddit post / thread and generate a newsletter from it. it directly takes the ideas / work of someone else and passes it off as their own.

this is real 💀

Any day is a good day to repost this reminder that Marc Andreessen's view of South Asia is that he, explicitly, wants to colonize it. Fortunately, Indian activists were able to stop Facebook. In Myanmar, they weren't so lucky, and Facebook enabled a genocide almost immediately upon its arrival.

🧵

Based on what I've seen credibly reported over the last 2-3 hours, it is fair to now call this a full-scale war.

As I said, they’re going step by step. A mayor now. Labor activists a few days ago. And we’re only a few months in. The answer is not retreat, but further commitment to the fight. Or they will keep taking more.

New York Times just called the mayor of Newark a “protester” for attempting to maintain the law.

Trump sycophant Stephen Miller says the White House is considering suspending Habeas Corpus. As a human rights lawyer, let me be clear: Due process & habeas corpus is arguably the last line of defense before fascism takes permanent hold. I cannot emphasize enough how dire this is for our nation.

what accurate reporting would look like. language matters.

please watch - clear breakdown on what happened.

Rümeysa Öztürk has been freed!!

no words can adequately convey how much i despise him

Buddy, you are going to have to pull a Chris Van Hollen right now. This letter is looking real Schumerish. Go down there and put your rich white cishet masculinity to good use.

They’re trying to equate it with Jan. 6, I have no doubt that was a very deliberate choice of wording

Disappearing an elected official.

This is an important detail as well. They're not legally allowed to stop Members of Congress from inspecting those facilities. So if those members say "he's with us", how much right does ICE have to question them about it? bsky.app/profile/news...

Also let’s all acknowledge how fucked up it is that propaganda spin of the word “protest” has given it such a negative connotation that the fascist propagandists are now using it to paint a govt official as an extremist. And the media is playing along.

This isn’t accidental it’s a lovely wya to enforce a segregated society by demanding marginalized people have to play increasingly escalated triangulation games for safety And while no there isn’t an Oppression Olympics …. Pretending you don’t know the escalation by now Is a CHOICE

When my parents got married, their marriage was illegal in seven states. That’s how recent this shift is: my (still living) parents could not visit some states for the first four years of their marriage.

fantastic analogy 🧵👇

I SAY THIS EVERY DAY: THERE IS AN ILLITERACY PROBLEM THAT IS ONLY GETTING WORSE. death to chatgpt for exacerbating the issue.
