it's just weird to think someone positions themselves as having good leftist even radical politics and then seeing their work in the atlantic

accidentally started a thing that may become a bigger thing (organizing) and we need more big things

i sent the rain as a love letter

If the United States was founded, then it is a fiction. And if it is a fiction, then its story requires tellers and listeners. And if it requires listeners, a public, an audience, then we can refuse to hear, to heed, its telling.

I heard AWP’s in Baltimore 👀 Hit me up to join your off-site reading because I’m a short train away!

there is no limit to my gay

accepted a spring wedding invite. i havent been to Monterrey since i was 19… what a return.

So ICE is holding 3 members of the Oglala Sioux to try to extort a cooperation agreement from them. ICE has no jurisdiction over Natives because we are all automatically citizens of the US. This is just fascist.

I really want ppl w/o Minneapolis connections to understand You might've heard that Mpls public schools went hybrid bc so many families are in hiding. Well, a coworker just told me that today, during his kid's hybrid class, a kid's apt building was raided onscreen *Everyone has stories like this*

my last x only sent voice notes and now someone i have talking to only sends me photos and videos instead what is this

"Here's what doesn't happen in war: there are no wondrous, climactic battles that leave the good guys standing tall and the bad guys lying in the dirt. Life isn't a World Wrestling Federation Smackdown." K.A. Applegate, author of Animorphs, letting 'em know. hiracdelest.com/database/art...

I was learning about lynching at ages when I had a sippy cup & nap time. White people don't know so much about this country's history of terror until late in life. They're not equipped for this moment without the cultural memory. They won't listen to those who have it.

its still very early but chatting with an old friend who i have had romantic moments in the past with is sweet and a good reminder that love is abundant and can look different every time

i hope when i’m dead people will say yes i was stubborn and proud but it was endearing

From @harshawalia.bsky.social, a must read:

i start therapy next week because damn December did me in.

They are pushing *propaganda*, and if you do not counter it with something equally forceful or stronger, then you're going to keep losing. They manipulate information and data instead of pretending that seeing it “objectively” will change hearts and minds. Please understand this.

Fascists won't be explained away to a public that is heavily conservative, uneducated, and propagandized. Playing by the fake rules of objectivity aids the construction of deeper authoritarianism. They know you'll stay fenced in your self-constructed losing box that they can outmaneuver every time.

Once you understand that you're dealing with murderous liars, you stop entertaining what they say as possibly credible and legitimate. The fight against them is about stopping them from terrorizing and killing by any means, not winning debates about your reality versus theirs.

Tyranny doesn’t do term limits. Fascism will not be waited away. Looking for fantasies that are going to make an extremely upsetting situation easily go away is not the best use of time. It’s good to deal with the reality of where we’re at. prismreports.org/2026/01/07/a...

"we have to over and over again rehearse the future that we want" (Ruth Wilson Gilmore) thank you you fucking courageous observers and you courageous resisters and you people needing to hide, your NO is the future we want

whenever someone hurts me i do not seek revenge but i will write a devastating poem for everyone to read

In the colonial era, imperialist war was territorial. In the neocolonial era, imperialist war shifted to regime change. In the era of extra-colonial competitive control, even regime change becomes unnecessary—often counterproductive.

So true

“Because this American government is not the police of the world” 🇻🇪

The same entity that made white ppl think they are the police of everybody

Who needs CBS when Reuters can do state propaganda just as well?

okay i am sorry to be that bitch but the one word you can't use to describe this is "unprecedented."

A lot of people forget how in 2004 the Bush regime kidnapped the democratically elected President of Haiti, Jean-Bertrand Aristide, and dumped him in Africa.

Thinking about Jean-Bertrand Aristide in Haiti this morning as the news comes in about Venezuela. The word “empire” is not an exaggeration. This is how it regularly defines itself.

Hugo Chavez was right, and now all of america smells of sulfur. Far too many Americans tho have decided they like the smell, that its good for them

eventually the price for every empire comes due and we'll have earned the worst history has to offer for this shit

rewatching Tár to feel

A small but concrete task for today: Sameer Project told us on 12/25 that it costs $38 for 1 blanket, which can help keep a family that is in their 3rd winter in genocide (😢) warm. Can anyone join us today in donating the cost of one blanket to Sameer? Can you get 1 other person to join you?

why am i getting so many new followers? if you’re new here it’s free palestine everyday

healing bloodlines is rough

genAI is STOLEN WORK. Using genAI in *any* capacity is trafficking in stolen work, supporting the plunder. Period. These facts aren't even denied by the AI companies, they just find ways to make that plunder seem benevolent. Using their product enables that lie. Stop enabling the theft of our work.

“If your culture is an oral culture it can’t be a lecture. Otherwise, nobody’s gonna remember the stories.”

i want to add that my pov and politics has been greatly influenced by intergenerational friendships, from elder organizers in labor or guerilla movements to youth with no attachments to the traditional ways of doing things

As I get further into my 40s, one of the things I'm proudest of is my worldview didn't change in the way the adults around me during my 90s childhood were certain it would change. Not just "you will get conservative when you're older" but also "you will agree with how we disrespect kids..."

i am of the generation where my mother made all my appointments bc i hated calling a doctor

love completing a task i put off for nine months that took ten minutes to take care of
