imagine introing yourself as piss girl on reality tv #survivor #survivor49

Rizo you can hug yourself! #survivor49

Well, at least we’re burning through water and poisoning the Black people of Memphis so we can get more positive representations of, uh

the capitalists aren't protecting the masses from the fascists???????? damn,

Shana Tova khaverim! History shows no signs of stopping this week and neither is Der Spekter as we continue to deliver bundist content for you. We bring in Rosh Hashanah with two pieces this week.

Proof of concept that the US left needs to be better at organizing. Find your people. Join an org (union, or otherwise). Build relationships. Work in solidarity.

Perfect opportunity to relay that one of the best vegan spots in Richmond, VA is GWAR bar.

The city I live in, Washington DC, has one of the largest homeless populations in the country. I work to support the formerly homeless every day. I've lived on the streets myself. Some of my friends do. I can honestly say I care more about the homeless person shitting than the rich person's porch.

People hate homeless people far more than they do the politicians & capitalists that make people homeless in the first place.

Do not assume that everything they set out to do is inevitable. They have been successfully fought on multiple fronts, from courtroom wins that have actually stuck to city and state governments that haven't backed down, to activists in the streets organizing against their violence.

Ok just 18 hours left; PLEASE share. We aren’t asking for anything we aren’t doing ourselves - we have shored up this amount with as much as we can, entire paychecks, to help our friends escape north Gaza. Every 5 helps, I promise. 4231/5000

I’ll put it like this. Remember one of Charlie’s many shocking soundbites, how some gun deaths are necessary for the second amendment? That’s what you sound like talking about not purity testing your candidates. You’ve accepted, some death is necessary because you assume that won’t include you.

The crowd is taking a knee in the street outside of the Broadview Detention Center with their fists up to honor Silverio Villegas-Gonzáles, the man ICE killed last week, victims of police violence, and the people being killed in Palestine.

the department of homeland security released a statement claiming “over a hundred violent rioters surrounded” the broadview ice detention center this morning. what actually happened was ice/cbp tactical teams aggressively threw, dragged, & tear-gassed protesters. one agent literally drew his gun.

get you a congressperson who stands on the frontlines of the real battle

My all time favorite national. Before his second big league season this wild shit happened. www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/...

I think it’s a misstep to say the federal surge has ended. MPD’s control by the federal government has ended. Bowser said they would no longer provide info to ICE. But the feds are still here. Migrant neighbors are still being detained. The National Guard is still here.

צוזאַמען, צוזאַמען. Together, together. This is our only way through this.

🚨ICE Alert 🚨ICE has been spotted at the intersection of 14th St NW and Missouri, with various arrests since this morning. Please avoid the area if possible.

In case you thought Republicans’ interest in DC was anything more than gutter racism

People legit yelled at me for 24 hours when I said it's extremely dumb to RSVP to a protest. Why hand your name over to a group organizing a protest/rally? Do you *want* to have to talk to the FBI? Treat anyone encouraging you to RSVP to a protest as a fed. End of.

if you rent a one bedroom in dc for $2,500 per month, your yearly rent will be 30,000 times what the commanders will pay to rent an nfl stadium from the city ($1). i know the team is putting up money for construction, but then again, so are we as taxpayers. $2 billion in cash and tax givebacks.

In light of today’s news I’d like to remind you that this is a real newspaper clipping. History repeats itself when we don’t stop it.

When they designate anti fascist domestic terrorists you’re in a fascist dictatorship and everyone either stands together as anti fascists or we all fall alone. America as you knew it is dead.

The for profit real estate lobby got our council by the short and curlies. Fucking shameful.

Pretty clear what Ezra would have been doing during the rise of Hitler.

Huge fucking oof. Ugh.

This is quickly mushrooming into a real international incident www.washingtonpost.com/world/2025/0...

A mainstream outlet finally does more than repeat the official BS statement from ICE about the shooting of Silvero Villegas-Gonzalez. This man's death should be a national scandal. Grateful for indy journalists who questioned the official narrative that corporate outlets mindlessly echoed last week.

As all this happens, its worth remembering that if you are not in a union, there is a decent chance you are an at will employee, who can be fired for practically any reason—or no reason at all.

My friends Exilahu and Chaia (Kleztronica) are playing in Vancouver this coming Sunday: "an immersive night of deep listening and diasporic ritual, tracing the echoes of Yiddish culture through electronic music, ancestral memory, and political resistance."

LMAO YALL. So that witch hunt website for anybody who spoke ill of ole boy? Some white man basically said “you got a fucking HOUR to get my name off this shit before my lawyer take everything at your house & load it in a UHaul to mine.” EVERY NAME off that website & the submission form is down.

Feel free to continue arguing over the shooter's motives, but please understand that *it doesn't matter*. There's a organized political movement that plans to suppress, arrest, or kill its political opposition. It it seeking pretexts. Anything will do. If it's not this, it'll be something else.

This is what David Brooks meant when he said a conservative had texted him that Kirk was their George Floyd. They didn't mean that Kirk was a victim of a profound injustice. In the conservative mind, Floyd was used as a symbolic pretext to reorient society. They want to use Kirk that way.

FOP will bleed this city dry and our electeds will let them do it with a smile. Cops are not labor.

This is so fucking absurd.

Every Dem official and centrist who has compared Kirk to MLK or his death to 9/11, or said his work should continue, or otherwise whitewashed his legacy of hate, dehumanization, and harassment has had a hand in enabling this administration's weaponization of Kirk's death against critics & opponents.

This is my alderman's office. The Proud Boys and other fascists also rallied in Chicago over the I-90 expressway on Saturday. Between this shit and the ICE raids, things are scary. Do not forget: ICE killed a father of three last week in Franklin Park. His name was Silverio Villegas-Gonzalez.

Ezra Klein is doing tepid centrism the right way.

Louisiana, the new prison state, has become the hub folks. Trump’s deportation hub: inside the ‘black hole’ where immigrants disappear. www.theguardian.com/us-news/ng-i...

The only difference between people using drugs outside because they don’t have homes & people using drugs inside because they have homes… is the homes. Everyone uses drugs y’all, the difference is money.

Reporters on the ground in Chicago are screaming to be heard over the false narrative that Pritzker defeated Trump there. PLEASE listen to them.

i think leftists who can't accomodate people of faith into their politics are really really making a profound mistake

Hi ICE killed a single dad at a traffic stop here on Friday Today they are disappearing people again in broad daylight, they are everywhere If you have any national platform at all Chicago is fucking begging you, please help us

At a meeting last week with comrades, I remarked that I felt that our collective political & social imagination is stunted and shrunken. They said that they felt the same. Perhaps some of you feel the same. Where are our spaces for collectively imagining what we are FOR & what we want to create?

I like that yiddish has an adjective that very literally just means “armed” (georemt, געאָרעמט) but is used to describe two people who are arm-in-arm, all canoodled up
