The last known caterpillar that could have become a Sacramento Mountains checkerspot butterfly has died. The term for an animal that is the sole survivor of a species is endling. In a sense, we are all endlings—each the last of our kind. All life is precious, irreplaceable. crimethinc.com/endlings

Altman’s whole self-admitted business model is, he needs to steal*our* IP for his product to work & he also needs bailouts for his product to continue to exist. And he also needs consumption of his product to be mandatory. He’s just the world’s biggest welfare recipient. And he’s all of them.

The victim was a 19 year old transgender woman. She was stabbed to death in the laundry room of her student apartment complex. Seattle police just released these pictures of the suspect. If you know who he is, you can call the tip line at 206-233-5000.

I'm seeing a lot of hurt and fear from my trans friends on here, so let me just say: @distributeaid.org and I have your back. We're not afraid to materially support trans folks, especially in the south where most of our work happens.

"The ultimate goal is to bring about a situation in which everyone is at liberty to do what they most wish to do and can share the fruits of their activities with everybody else without need of compensation. This is what we call a gift economy." crimethinc.com/Revolutionar...

When people try the "product of their times" excuse, remind them that there are always abolitionists alive at the same time as enlavers & even if the colonizers didn't know it was wrong, the people they were oppressing sure as hell did. At the end of the day, morality knows no era. HFB to the GOAT

I wish more leftists would understand that the idea that fatness is unhealthy isn't some kind of objective truth, but a myth created to make profit for the weight cycling industry, using a racialized, gendered, classed body ideal.

Tomorrow is my birthday. Today I received a birthday card in the mail from the most consistent entity to send me such a thing since my last grandparent passed over 8 years ago. That entity is the office of my State Farm agent. What is life.

Hello Sharers. What have you shared with your neighbor, community, family lately? In April we traveled to @Georgetown to introduce and promote a future Library of Things on campus & program director, Tom Llewellyn, shared knowledge to set the context for LoTs. #shareable #LoTs

Late night “making it about me” post (forgive me): back when I actually had opportunities to do these things, I turned down major labels, I turned down tv commercials and most tv show syncs - it STILL SUCKS, financially - and all these people have to do is not go to a ball “in honor of Jeff Bezos”

That they are breaking the law cannot be the rallying cry. Slavery was legal. Every person who freed themselves and others was breaking the law. The law will not save us.

I think some people have a very specific, outdated idea of what Left organizing looks like, and if it doesn't fit that schema, they don't see it. Some of the most visible Left orgs are grifters, cults, abusers, or just ineffective, but they're by no means representative of the entire Left.

The way that Spirit Airlines was instantaneously shuttered, ending the jobs of 17,000 employees, flights for 1000s, many unrecoverable, and cutting off customer support altogether, this is what we should be prepared for with many companies in the coming months, private and federal.

Damn, today has just been a day of bad news for AI users and companies... MORE!!!!!!!

Wherever you are, whatever your means, you can help to make May Day a step in the proliferation and intensification of resistance to all forms of tyranny. This May Day bingo card circulated ahead of May Day 2020. crimethinc.com/WhatWeWant2026

"Surveillance has expanded accordingly. Law enforcement agencies increasingly rely on digital monitoring, facial recognition, and data aggregation to map networks of activists. The technology may be new, but the intent is not." Latest from @alissaazar.bsky.social www.wewillfreeus.org/mayday/

The fight we’re having over jobs, tech, and immigration already happened. And we know how it ends.

As long as we think of success as an individual achievement rather than the thriving of our communities, we will remain isolated and alienated, like the billionaire sociopaths we seek to emulate. Mutual aid transforms us, enabling us to act and dream together. crimethinc.com/Revolutionar...

Many people are talking about a general strike for May Day. How do we shut down the economy in 2026, when it functions much differently than it did in time of the original general strikes? Here, we propose some some starting places for action and offer a handbill promoting them.
