Everyone, please remember to stretch and warm up properly before "circling back in the new year"

An aim of the global far-right is to rehabilitate and legitimize the colonial project.

Literally a publication for eight-year olds 40 years ago

Can't help but feel like this is one of the reasons why the Constitution says If a dude in office does an insurrection, don't let that motherfucker hold office again Bc clearly they cannot be trusted with power & control over the levers of government, & they do not care about democratic constraints

Nigel Farage expresses support for Trump's "unorthodox" breach of international law - on grounds that they may "make China and Russia think twice" But the main impact on Russia and China will be to help them to legitimise aggression in cases like Ukraine and Taiwan, citing Trump/US as analogous.

If your position is that regime change should be forced on countries where the president does not respect democratic norms and regularly kidnaps opponents using an officially sanctioned paramiliatary, have I got news for you about your position on the United States

you don't need to add caveats agreeing that the head of state abducted is a bad guy before opposing abduction of a head of state by military force. If the rule was any head of government is fair game then the entire world would be a series of decapitation strikes and show trials in foreign courts.

Three million people live in Caracas, five million in the metro area. It's one of the densest cities in South America. Remember this in the morning when they try to spin this as anything other than a cold-blooded attack on a major civilian center.

this = the problem w/ X. by turning it into 4chan w/ virality distribution the platform turns everything into a meme. so it must strip away almost all context & imbue it w/ intense amounts of nihilism or so many layers of irony that there's no humanity anymore. it's a great dehumanization machine

Socialism doesn't mean you gotta stop being a bad bitch

The lights of sharia law were so bright above the city last night

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?

I don’t mean to sound extreme, but I don’t think we should have torture camps for people with criminal records either.

Congress’s three favorite lines: 1. Sorry we can’t do anything, we’re in the minority 2. Sorry we can’t do anything, we need a supermajority 3. Sorry we can’t do anything, our party’s in the White House and we have to support the president

Where those Harper’s Letter folks at

please help my friend hammam & his family. it’s him, his mom, and his brother who’s special needs. he shouldn’t have to beg to survive.

Of course, there are many good reasons — justice for victims highest among them — for us to have access to the files. But libs needs to hang it up with fantasy of the “gotcha.”

The obsession over the Epstein files *as* a mechanism to “get” Trump is a mystery to me. How many “smoking guns” has there been since 2016? And how many times have MAGA followers shown that they *don’t* care? Grievance doesn’t care about hypocrisy.

If ICE gets to decide against all evidence that your documentation is fake, just because they say so, then there is no law. For anyone, but especially for Black and brown people the Supreme Court has declared are warrantless arrest targets.

Pre-orders are open until the END OF TODAY for Crown Heights Mutual Aid's holiday cookie box! (I'm baking 2 of the 10 types of cookies in it!) Proceeds go to supporting our immigrant neighbors, making this a delicious way to say f u c k y o u to 🧊 and everyone else trying to terrorize our community.

Turns out Suzanne Collins writes nonfiction

They booked a bunch of 14 year old models to come to a Mar A Lago party, told them to dress sexy and tried to ply them with alcohol.

Passing this on from folks who are not on Bluesky: If you're in NYC, Bluestockings is having a final closing sale. Come celebrate and grieve the closing of the store, and the sunset of Bluestockings Cooperative. Books, appliances, merchandise, furniture-- everything is going. Masks are required!

This is an important moment, and we need to explain to the public why it's important. An agency with the power to decide who gets to broadcast is supposed to be independent from the president so it won't abuse that power. If it's not, then we are letting the president seize the power to censor.

Some say the world will end in fire, Some say in AI

If you use GenAI, you’re not welcome here #NoAI

Like you hear these congressional reps, especially republicans, talking about how they're scared to vote against the party line because they might get hurt and Ahmed al Ahmed literally ran at a guy with a gun because he felt his duty to his fellow humans was to try and sanctify life

"Whatever access Epstein provided"—The nature of that "access" doesn't matter! Don't even worry about it! Stop asking questions!

Finally looking at marketplace health insurance plans, and my options are: 1) earn less than ~$62k and qualify for cheaper insurance, but not be able to afford my total expenses + debt 2) earn a penny too much in an attempt to afford my expenses + debt, and owe $10k more in premiums 3) die, I guess

I refuse to let this era be defined by the sick villains and spineless cowards. We are surrounded by everyday heroes and they will keep emerging.

7News Australia reports that the hero who jumped and disarmed one of the terrorist shooters His name is Ahmed el-Ahmed A 43 year old married father of two He owns a fruit shop in Sutherland No experience with guns He was walking past He has two bullets in his arm

He could state that it was Islam that moved him to protect human life and it would still not make any difference to the dominant political discourse

Talking to teenagers all day necessitates great linguistic care to remain chill and relatable without veering into millennial cringe, and today I'm equally ashamed and proud to share that I dropped my first "what the helly" into conversation today and got away with it

Do it, you won't

all i'm saying is that there were better options

He knows exactly what he's doing here. The hotties are becoming sentient and must be stopped

It’s hard to exaggerate how bad the situation is in the UK. There are eight people on hunger strike and David Lammy recently claimed he wasn’t even aware of it. That hunger strikers may actually die is barely even news.

For East Coast millennials of a certain age, "drinkin outta cups, bein a bitch" will never die

I’m running for Congress because we need leaders who will fight, not fold. I recognize this moment, and I’m ready to meet it. #FightDontFold #LanderForNYC #LanderForCongress

Every science fiction writer who did things like call the evil corporation The Corporation needs to recognise their role in creating the horror that is Olivia Nuzzi's writing

Extremely weird to compare Heartstopper—a show for teens starring teens based on a coming-of-age webcomic about teens—to adult romance novels featuring multiple explicit sex scenes, and maybe this reviewer should question his need to condemn queer media for kids that isn't sexy enough for his taste.

Me at McDonald's: I would like a Big Mac. McDonald's: That'll be $5.75 Me: *sigh* paywalled
