Felix Gonzalez-Torres's Untitled (Death by Gun) is a stack of posters listing the more than 460 people killed by firearms during a single week in 1989. Viewers are invited to take a poster as the stack is constantly replenished www.moma.org/collection/w...

The Trump-Vance admin has been committing illegal strike after illegal strike. They're trying to normalize it. They're counting on you to lose track, to be too overwhelmed to remember the gravity of what they're doing. But we're keeping track of every single strike. So far: 22 strikes. 87 killed.

Oh this is a really great idea and generally those are "use it or lose it" so what a great way to use it!

this is a general warrant and it's specifically the kind of warrant the framers passed the 4th amendment to outlaw

***REPOST FROM SAMEER PROJECT*** 🚨🚨WE NEED YOUR HELP🚨🚨 The rain and flooding from Storm Byron has wreaked havoc on Gaza. Families are without shelter, without warmth. The death count is now up to 14 people in the past 24 hours. Preventable deaths!! chuffed.org/project/1491...

Oh. Cool. Just as the President is using every power he can to suppress dissent and stifle speech, @whitehouse.senate.gov and the @judiciarydems.senate.gov are trying to hand Trump a new tool to suppress speech online. What a joke.

For 1.5 million Palestinians living under plastic sheets, Storm Byron means more than bad weather.

Using climate collapse to “cull the planet” was always the fascists plan for dealing with climate change and if the world does not wake up to that reality we will be crushed underneath the world they are attempting to build on the ashes of democracy and shared humanity.

America is the only country actively trying to kill its citizens while also asking them to feed as many words and images of themselves into a program before death so their avatars can be owned forever in a data center poisoning what was once their people's land.

Grieving loss is one of the things that is fundamental to the human condition and a necessary activity to process and accept loss; creating opportunities and technologies to delay or deny experiencing grief (or loss itself) is deeply anti-human and anti-reality.

I was gonna do that thing where I repost this and just say "Oh". As in here is some important info that is fucked up but ultimately unsurprising. Then I realized my neighborhood is actually featured in this piece. 😔

KOSA is back along with 17 other dangerous censorship and surveillance laws that congress is trying to ram through. CALL UR REPRESENTATIVE TODAY AND TELL THEM —no KOSA —do not repeal Section 230 —no online digital ID laws —no age verification laws CALL NOW!!!! We are about to lose the internet

I need y'alls help with another toy drive. This one is for the children of incarcerated parents. Can we bring some joy to these families?

Just heard disappointing news that @warren.senate.gov will co-sponsor the Kids Online Safety Act again despite overwhelming opposition from LGBTQ, human rights, abortion rights, and racial justice groups. This is a horrific betrayal of her constituents, particularly trans youth and their families.

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.

BREAKING: At least 373 Palestinians have been killed and 970 wounded since the start of the ceasefire in October, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/ro90fr

MyTaxReceipt shows you a breakdown of how your U.S. federal taxes get spent — enter your Zip code and the amount you paid in Federal taxes (or you can use the default average for your Zip code). It generates a receipt-style summary showing what portion goes to defense, healthcare, interest on debt..

Today, in Understory (a support group for activists that I co-facilitate), we talked about the writing exercise I created to help folks get oriented for the year ahead. I don't think we can balance caring for ourselves, tending to our relationships, and taking action by accident in these times.

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque: "This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

Do what you can to end suffering.

Amnesty International released findings from its investigation into the Everglades Concentration Camp (Alligator Alcatraz), which was built by the Florida Division of Emergency Management. They found evidence of torture, among other human rights violations. www.amnesty.org/en/documents...

CNN found that IDF shot starving Palestinians trying to collect flour. The IDF bulldozed their bodies into shallow, unmarked graves. Left to decompose, scavenged by dogs, and never documented. Families may never learn what happened to their loved ones. www.cnn.com/2025/12/03/m...

This week is the annual SMFA #art sale that supports the financial aid fund, and I'm delighted to have this painting available! The sale is today, December 5 (10am-8pm), and Saturday, December 6 and Sunday, December 7 (10am-5pm), check it out #Boston folks! www.artworkarchive.com/profile/smfa...

there are unique aspects of this new immigration detention regime, but as someone with an incarcerated sibling, many of the tactics are, sadly, familiar. international humanitarian law, supreme court rulings, federal rules and regulations, basic decency — all are optional in our prison system.

People expect miracles from medicine, but refuse the miracle that would let them avoid needing emergency care in the first place

Online age verification is a tempting idea. I'm a dad, I get it, but what's being proposed isn't just an ID check, it's a list of your kid's faces and data. A list in the hands of increasingly totalitarian governments, tech companies, and dysfunctional AI. It's not protection, it's surveillance.

What's happening with the Chicago Public Libraries right now is terrible. The proposed budget of the city would CUT 89 CPL positions. Importantly, 78 positions were lost LAST year. That would be 167 positions in 2 YEARS while COPS KEEP GETTING MORE MONEY. ENOUGH. SAY NO.

COVID denial assigns blame for the mass sickening to anti-vax quackery, predictable as the right-wing framing won in the on-going pandemic. To recognize the reasons for why people are sicker—long COVID, less vax uptake generally—will be the only way to fix this. And they won't admit being wrong

How about we worry less, as a society, about whether individuals might be cheating to get a disability accommodation or some help buying food, and more about whether extremely wealthy people and corporations are paying their fair share of taxes?

ICE's cruelty has broken yet another family that relied on the U.S. for safety and protection. That's why we need to take action to reunite them ASAP. You can call NY elected officials now to demand that they pressure ICE to release Fei and Yuanxin immediately! ☎️: www.instagram.com/p/DRvaYb9DYD...

Policing is defunding Chicago.

Wrecking young people's reading, writing & analytical skills during their formative years is an economic imperative for AI companies. For many of us who learned these things without AI, slop can't pass for news or entertainment. Destroying standards is essential to the industry's growth & survival.

i’m genuinely so convinced all of this has been a planned operation by the student and her mother (who is commenting on this publicly, and associated closely with the republican party), and big far right propaganda account going all in on it. this is designed to oust trans people from public life

OU alumni and others, you call leave a voicemail with the Office of the President at (405)325-3916 letting them know you disagree with the admin letting this political witch hunt be rewarded. I just did and the voicemail is not full.

It's very helpful to remember: we organized and we won a lot of good shit. That scared entrenched power shitless, and this moment is that hierarchy's struggle to reassert itself. If we beat it back and demand a rebuilding that is liberatory, we can win even better shit.

This AP news story is incredible from front to back but I wanted to flag something super serious and wildly illegal that may have flown under the radar. It’s called parallel construction and it’s when intel is washed from spy agencies and used by local cops. apnews.com/article/immi... 1/

Last Saturday, artist Megumi Nakazawa showcased her work at the Harriet Tubman Center in LA. Her projects “Faces of Mass Incarceration” and “Faces of Palestine” put faces to the those we’re not supposed to see.

I was able to donate 50. It was doubled. Who can join me? Please.

For my fellow New Englanders, here's a thread of local Indigenous orgs to support: bsky.app/profile/tutu...

The problem with ICE is not that it's targeting people who aren't criminals. The problem with ICE is that it's an unaccountable secret deportation police. It cannot be reformed under a better president. It can be made less terrible, but the instrument of repression remains for the next tyrant.

Every year around this time, I ask folks to consider doing something in support of Native people. This year, please join me in supporting the Native Organizers Alliance as they build grassroots power, defend Native voting rights, and equip our people for collective struggle through skill-building.

Israel has killed two Palestinian children in Gaza every single day since the so-called ceasefire

NEW: ICE has torn up its $180M cap on a proposed immigrant-tracking program and is now guaranteeing private surveillance firms at least $7.5M each, with potential payouts reaching $281M per vendor. The change signals a shift from “pilot” to full-scale outsourcing of street-level investigative work.

Tapping the sign again

On Nov. 22, Vahid Abedini, an Iranian Studies professor at University of Oklahoma, was boarding a flight to attend the Middle East Studies Assn mtg in Washington, D.C. when he was detained by ICE. OU Prof Joshua Landis says "he has been wrongfully detained because he has a valid H-1B visa."

A mother and her 15 year old autistic son are reunited after nearly 50 days apart. Emmanuel Garcia went missing, and rather than check missing person’s reports, Houston PD called ICE. ICE sent him to the Office of Refugee Resettlement and his mom has been fighting to get him back ever since.
