IMHO, it is important that Woke 2 be deemed "excessive" by historians, "sweeping too broadly" with "punishments too severe." It cannot be merely a course correction, it must be an overcorrection. Nothing less will serve as an adequate deterrent against the fascists and their collaborators.

Damn right

Just fyi these nice folks are the source of this video. You can toss them a couple of $$ and keep these kitties rich in cardboard.

Good Night fellow organisms.

I expect President Trump to raise the issue of immigration during his State of the Union address. I want him to know that his mass deportation campaign is breaking children like the little girl who gave me this drawing while I inspected the trailer prison he reopened.

Other Dems should have followed him out

Eh, you can get this everywhere in NY.

fuck

Ashley Fairbanks @ziibiing.com launched Stand With Minnesota standwithminnesota.com, a mutual aid repository supporting residents under ICE's siege, in early Jan. in the weeks since, it's facilitated covering people's rents and flown folks detained back home from Texas. she can help you do it, too.

Just a reminder while this is a victory, it's not over yet until Discord completely gives up on the age verification nonsense. Don't resubcribe to Nitro immediately.

If somebody attempts a coup, and then they’re not held accountable by elites and institutions, the public will draw the conclusion that it’s not a big deal.

Painful to read this and think about the 2021 coup attempt, which was as blatant as it gets. An utter failure of US elites to seize the moment when everybody saw the threat right in front of their eyes. If we have history books in the future, they will be unkind.

Now streaming.

Please call every CO rep you can And your own reps too.

This is also a story about caste! Hindutva apologists are far more likely to buy into this kind of MAGA-adjacent eugenicist horseshit if they are also caste supremacists! (Special fuck you to Gavin Newsom for vetoing the bill that would have banned caste discrimination in California.)

“the largest act of mass murder of this decade, and of this century so far, was not perpetrated by militaries or militias, but by the world's richest man in Washington D.C.'s Eisenhower Executive Office Building.” @mckay4senate.bsky.social www.liberalcurrents.com/what-elon-ha...

lol

Please call. We must not submit to this fascism.

This is 1) incredibly stupid 2) very bad

I have some thoughts about women - of all ages - leaving evangelicalism. 🧵 First of all, of course they are! I wrote about how women have spent the last two decades (and really longer) calling out alienating, unbiblical evangelical rhetoric and politics. 1/x www.baylorpress.com/978148131893...

beside the point but if your church is putting mothers with babies behind a wall then you need to focus on your own damned problems first

So, uh, video isn't necessarily the most optimal method of disseminating information. It is the easiest to measure metrics about, however, primarily due to a lot of investment in doing so. So you gotta be careful—there are millions of failed videos for every successful frame.

I am STILL using forums. There often are no replacements.

Hasan is now glazing North Korea. abolish all streamers tbh. i guess it shouldn’t be a surprise that the type of person who thinks that they should broadcast their entire life to the world is a narcissistic weirdo with unhinged politics

I unironically agree with this.

You don’t hear it much, probably due to corporate capture of media, but this is what FDR did that got the ‘33 Act and the ‘34 Act passed. generational anger at corporations funneled into aggressive legislation that would have been unthinkable ten years earlier.

This is such bullshit

something abled people don't get is you can have just one day a week where you are too sick to work, and that's enough to disqualify you from nearly all full-time jobs. it doesn't take a lot

"You now live in a country where volunteers deliver babies at home, in secret, off the books, because mothers fear that if they go to the hospital, they will be abducted by masked, armed agents of the state while giving birth. This is not a hypothetical."

I get why it's useful to say this "we need to unite right & left" sort of thing when you're trying to win Republican votes but in a Democratic primary, voters should crush anyone who dares talk that way

She is a hero

This is a violation of Democratic norms

This is sickening So sick to do this to the child and child's family, to whom you have a duty to care for.

Look, now that we're trying for real consequences for the Epstein files, maybe we should also take another look at the Panama Papers

Entire Republican leadership should be investigated at this point.

lmaoooo @selina3sticks.bsky.social you'll love this one

leopards eating faces

YES YES YES

He should have been president

there is a whole ton of low-hanging fruit for prison reform in the United States - like, literally just getting rid of policies that exist for no other reason than cruelty - and we should get those done first.

Incredibly dumb move

ICE officers often tell people tracking and watching them that they are breaking federal law in doing so, but legal experts say the vast majority of observers are exercising their constitutional rights. n.pr/4qPmLGr

A theory, like gravity is a theory. Poor kid :(

The tech oligarchs pushing AI do not care if you can afford a computer, because they do not truly love the computer. aftermath.site/ram-prices-hdd...

Is she ok?

This is really good PR messaging.

Scary

I'd prefer it not have taken decades but personally I like blows being struck against elite impunity and would like that for us in the US very much
