Our friend Carey has faced every challenge the colonial, heterocapitalist, carceral systems has to offer, and has come back swinging. Please show her a little love so she can keep thriving! chuffed.org/project/1646...

Every annoying piece of slang or syntax used by people younger than you is fine, you're just getting older.

Elon Musk is producing CSAM the right way. by Ezra Klein

The Jan 6 riot was successful. Maybe this will put to bed the constant admonition that "riots don't work."

Honestly it's not so much the fact that the best lack all conviction while the worst are full of passionate intensity as it is the best have to go to work and shit while the worst have trillions of dollars and control of the courts and social media platforms and news outlets and military powers.

2000 federal mercenaries are deploying in Minneapolis to terrorize and kidnap people. This is the front line of the regime's program to introduce fascism: rule by brute force. But they can be beaten. Study Chicago organizers' guide to grassroots resistance to ICE: crimethinc.com/StandUptoICE

People should let potential recruits know how they feel about their career choices.

Greenland doesn't belong to Denmark or the US or any of these colonizers, it belongs to their Inuit ppl, so does everything else on there including minerals and whatnot. Fuck all of em!

Showing up and being loud outside of hotels where ICE agents are trying to sleep has been a really effective form of action!

A hacker known as Martha Root broke in and deleted three white supremacists websites at the end of a talk during the annual hacker conference Chaos Communication Congress in Germany.

the goal is killing kids and we should say so

As daily goals, "stop fascism," "defeat evil," and "save the world" probably aren't going to get you anywhere, and might leave you feeling overwhelmed and helpless, but "work towards building something good" is always achievable, concrete, and useful.

If your bar for success is "stopping a superpower led by fascists" then you're only setting yourself up to fail. It's a form of doomerism. Instead set the bar at "how can I get 2 of my friends involved to do 1 positive thing together". We win because there's many of us, each playing a small part.

Captain America in an August 1990 in issue, after the last time the US violated international law to invade a Latin American nation and kidnap a head of state to stand trial on drug charges

Hate to say it, but we all have a new responsibility. I don't like it any better than you do. We have to make a good faith effort to find out if videos or images are real before we share, and delete if we find out after the fact that we shared AI. It sucks.

The New York Times and Washington Post both knew of the Trump plan to kidnap Maduro and chose not to publish it to protect US troops. At least 40 Venezuelans were killed by US troops. www.semafor.com/article/01/0...

Borscht Belt comic: Boy I tell ya, the manufacturing economy in the United States sure is dead. Audience: How dead is it? Borscht Belt comic: Why, these days they don't even bother to manufacture consent! *rim shot* (Comic is dragged off-stage by a big hook, deported to a black site)

The casualties already coming in. Grandmothers in their apartments….

Screaming "wtf" and waiting for a spontaneous uprising is going to discourage you. There won't be a spontaneous uprising. That's just not where the people are at. Organize for the long term. Build community. Build resilience. Have a strategy for whatever corner of this thing you're working on.

Don't let anyone tell you that this is too complicated, that you don't have the expertise or background knowledge to understand some obscure nuance. It is exactly what it looks like.

AAaAaaaAaaaaaaaAaaaAaaaaaaaAaAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaàAAAAAAAaAaAAAAAAAAaaaAaAaàaAaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaAAAaaaaaaaAaAAAAAaaaAAAAHhhhhhhH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The frogs are coming for every agent of the state.

ICE: 0 ice: 1

At least we don’t live in a world of staggering class disparity in which a tech magnate attempts to quash left-wing sentiment using sexualized artificial intelligence!

If you have the chance to read this book, you should. It's really fuckin' good. The concluding essay, 'Martyr Culture' by Sara Blum, is moving. There are lessons here that should be absorbed and utilised. @tangledwilderness.bsky.social

The thing about this year is it can be different from last year, just like today can be different from yesterday. We just have to make it different.

Happy 83rd anniversary to the only New Years resolutions you need, written and doodled by Woody Guthrie. Keep hoping machine running Make up your mind Wake up and fight I believe you can do it all in 2026.

If you're reading this you got through 2025. Good job!

It's your last day for this!

I'm getting ads on my podcasts for a service where you pay someone to come do chores and tasks for you. It's pitched as help during the busy holiday season. One of the holiday tasks the ad lists, that you can pay a stranger to do for you, is building a gingerbread house.

“Prevent ICE vehicles from leaving the scene with our community members, fight them if you can, slash their tires ... (turn) an otherwise quotidian reality of life under an authoritarian regime into an event, set apart from the flow of daily existence” 🔥 livingandfighting.net/When-in-Doub...

I know the world is awful, but also it contains bookstore kittens named Pencil.

A Hampton Inn in Asheville just canceled my family's reservation because our address (incorrectly) showed Asheville—and the hotel bars locals within 50 miles. When I asked why, they said, "because of our homeless population," adding that most hotels here have similar policies. This is outrageous.

Sports are sex segregated so that totally average men can walk around thinking they could probably beat Serena Williams, Megan Rapinoe or A'ja Wilson at their sports if they really had to, just cause they're men, in much the same way those same men think they would probably do alright vs a bear.

Also just now posting this great conversation I had with Anna Elena Torres and Kenyon Zimmer about the history, and present, of Jewish anarchism and its role in building an alternative vision for American Jewish life. maiseh-review.ghost.io/re/

RIP Claudia Cardinale. Much like Robert Redford, she was a rare case of a beautiful performer with a filmography full of bangers who did NOT become right-wing later in life. Here she is punching fascist Brigitte Bardot in the face in Les Pétroleuses (1971).

Hear @benpassmore.bsky.social on history, Black liberation, anarchism, martial arts, myths, comics & his new book, “Black Arms To Hold You Up”. + an interview with anarchist & former Belarusian political prisoner Mikola Dziadok, conducted by Frequenz-A thefinalstrawradio.noblogs.org/post/2025/12...

It's no arson, but as long as the goat comes down we're happy.

Goat down! I repeat: Goat down! www.dn.se/sverige/stor...

New shirt alert. Celebrating the nefarious, wicked lesbians who made me the person I am today. Been test driving this bad boy in the wild for a month and men of a certain age do NOT like it. Etsy.com/shop/bumlung

"Did you see what Mark Cuban posted? Oh did you see the clapb—" You shake yourself awake in the cold North Atlantic water. You are not online. It is July of 1858. You are a baleen whale, and you have changed your mind. The future most not come to pass. The telegraph cable must break.

Ending 2025 with the grounded sense of hope I picked up in Chicago, as told here:

Hey everyone! 2025 was a wild year and we'd like to know what you've learned in this year of resisting empire and preparing for disasters of all kinds. And so we've got some questions for you. What topic would you like for us to cover in our This Year segment?

A little public shaming is the absolute least an off-duty fascist should expect to get.

Can confirm.

I hope you all enjoyed your celebration last night. We spent ours in the traditional way; disguised as thematically appropriate ghosts, terrorizing the wealthy.

This actually makes a lot of sense as a combination. Like Santa Claus, clean coal doesn't exist.
