“As a reasonable centrist, I think the paramilitary death squads need better training.”

What's Shaun King up to these days? Has he finally grifted his last grift, or have I just blocked enough people that I no longer have to witness white people falling for his scams firsthand?

Hey everyone, We literally just added 100 more trans girl scouts to the trans girl scout cookie list. The list is bigger than it has ever been in EITM history. Go get some cookies and make a trans scout's day!

I've been paid three compliments within the last 24 hours, so for everyone's sake, please keep your distance from me until my ego has returned to normal size

I really need some of y'all to stop fat shaming the nazis and focus on nazi shaming them.

I don't know what the deal is with the white supremacist ICE shooter's Filipina immigrant wife, but some of you are getting extremely indignant on her behalf in a way that's starting to feel a little weird to me

In Minneapolis this afternoon— Hundreds are streaming across the snow and ice into Powderhorn Park for a rally and march demanding ICE leave Minnesota. It is bitterly cold. There are hardcore Midwesterners out here making their way in with trekking poles.

A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you." The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?" "Learned what?" she asks Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

The decision has been made to break an American city. It is an experiment. We must do all we can (legally) to help Minneapolis hold on.

ICE has murdered THIRTY TWO PEOPLE in detention centers. Four in the last week. www.msn.com/en-us/news/c...

like there are a million things you can do here is a list www.lifeisasacredtext.com/goodtrouble/

there's a self-protective instinct that causes so many people to defend the state in moments of terror. it's so much easier to think renee good had nefarious intentions — or even made an unfortunate mistake — than it is to think "they will kill without reason, and they would kill me too."

big day for redacted thoughts

I’m at the spot where ICE murdered Renee Nicolle Good today, along with my daughter and her bf. Still lots of people here at 11:00 pm. (Avoiding getting anyone in the picture) It’s beautiful, surreal but still mostly enraging. Abolish ICE.

NEWS: In a heartbreaking video, after ICE shot and killed a woman in Minneapolis, a woman who was in the same SUV cries out: “They killed my wife. I don’t know what to do." “We stopped to videotape, and they shot her in the head,” the distraught woman sobs. www.advocate.com/news/minneso...

ICE has shot and killed a community observer in Minneapolis. Sending all of my love to the people of Minneapolis and the folks defending their neighbors there. This is heinous, and I am so sorry. To everyone else: REMEMBER ICE LIES ABOUT EVERYTHING. THIS IS DOCUMENTED.

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.
