“I saw someone refer to the IRGC as the resistance because it opposes Western imperialism. So let's just be clear here. The resistance is the people. The resistance is the doctors who were given death sentences for treating wounded protesters…” IG: mahtab.loves.you

I genuinely have no idea what’s going on with the whole Timothy Chalamet situation or however you spell the guys name…

GENDER-AFFIRMING CARE IS HEALTH CARE. Thank you to the NY Attorney General’s Office for affirming our community.

Did I want Khamenei to be taken out by Israeli or American bombs? No, that gave him exactly what he wanted. At the same time, I am not going to be in mourning for the man who authorized the execution and torture of my relatives. Messy days ahead.

BREAKING Islamic Republic state media has confirmed that Ali Khamenei has been killed. HE IS DEAD!!! Long live the great, courageous, and noble people of Iran!

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is dead, Iranian state media reports.

I will not fully celebrate news that Khamenei is dead until regime announces it on state media, not because I consider them trustworthy, but because that moment is the closest thing to seeing the body. That is how I have always closed the chapter on death of a regime figure, from Khomeini to Raisi.

Just when I thought I was beginning to understand the weather...

The Guardian has identified the Columbia student abducted by DHS as Ellie Aghayeva. She posted the IG story below: www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Saw this in Discord and it’s amazing

Another Chelsea Neighbors' United protest! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ph2P...

The headline does not convey how completely batshit this story is. The Archive Today (archive.ph etc) admin weaponized the site's captcha to attack a blogger who wrote about them and *altered archived screenshots* as part of the attack. arstechnica.com/tech-policy/...

Venezuela's acting president has signed into law an amnesty bill that could lead to the release of politicians, activists, lawyers and many others. The approval marks a stark turn for the nation. n.pr/4rroPFz

I don't know what is going to happen. But I would recommend not getting your hopes up about Texas. I speak from experience.

Oh, did the invasion of Ukraine end and we've not been updated? 🤡

YouTube is down… damn

youtu.be/UUKYhn8KhC8 A lot of birds were flipped that day… deservedly so. With special thanks to @riseandresist.bsky.social and @50501newyork.bsky.social for organizing this amazing event!

yeah, sorry, but whatever their many flaws (and they are many tbc), the dems - to their very real credit - have held up pretty well on trans rights. lot of that "left" people jerk off to in europe would be infinitely better if they could even get halfway to the average dem position

this does not mean that dems are perfect or that they haven't made strategic retreats or whatever. but they have voted down anti-trans legislation and challenged anti-trains legislation in court. the dems are pretty damned pro-trans

youtu.be/BtC5kPqob4w Organized by Chelsea Neighbors United with an appearance by the Rude Mechanical Orchestra, Target was targeted with an anti-ICE protest after not standing up for themselves against a certain bully. For more context see apnews.com/article/targ....

I was back in federal court today. They’re still prosecuting me — my trial date is May 11th — but we’re pressing for evidence discovery. Because someone is “unreasonably obstructing the usual use” of the immigration court at 26 Federal Plaza. But it’s ICE, not me. And the evidence will prove it.

Update: In the past week we've learned ICE has secured property to build human warehouses in Merrimack, NH and Williamsport, MD *as well as* Surprise, AZ; Upper Bern, PA; and Tremont, PA. Facts that bear repeating.

Two brothers of longtime Coloradan Renee Good told Congress they took some consolation in the hope that her killing would bring reforms to ICE, but it has not.

PUNXSUTAWNEY, Pa. (AP) — Punxsutawney Phil is said to have seen his shadow, predicting 6 more weeks of winter weather.

As Black History Month begins, we honor the generations of Black New Yorkers who built this city into the “gorgeous mosaic” we call home. Today, we reflect on the words of Mayor David Dinkins: our city’s first Black mayor (and a democratic socialist!).

SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Judge orders US to release father and 5-year-old taken into custody during Minnesota immigration crackdown.

Day 430 of #GeorgiaProtests 1. Further isolation of the regime, a Russian proxy and sanctions evasion enabler, pro-Iran, pro-CCP; 2. Further targeted sanctions; 3. Aid to CSOs and independent media; 4. International investigation into chemicals use against protesters; 📷 MOSE

The City’s Budget is our future. And you deserve to know how it works.

I changed my handle because I saw an article from @gregpak.net and it reminded me to do something I should have done a little while back. So thank you Greg!

new: Minnesota Timberwolves chaplain and activist Matt Moberg FaceTimed me from an ICE blanketed parking lot about his empathy for Anthony Edwards, Wemby's provocative statement about the Spurs, and the value (if any) of athletes speaking out. we ended early because ICE tried to arrest his mom.

I cannot tell you how much doubt was consistently directed at the Gaza Health Ministry’s casualty numbers and how much pressure was put on news organizations to couch those numbers as unreliable. Biden himself said they were fabricated! www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

get their fucking asses rep crockett

Texas has two legit Dems running for Senate right now (Talarico is the other) and I wish they weren't competing with each other and had figured out some other way to divide the pie. But having somebody forceful inevitably on the general ballot is gonna be something.

They tried to bully Ms. Rachel into not supporting humanitarian relief in Gaza and not only did she not back down but she's now leading new efforts www.artnews.com/art-news/new...

Pro tip, that person you're denouncing may be motivated by their stated intentions and you are just going to turn them against you by calling them an anti-Semite bsky.app/profile/kant...

Every single one of the bastards responsible for this should be prosecuted and imprisoned. Nothing less will suffice.

Top of the charts at my house today

In our lifetime: Iran will be free! 💚🤍❤️🦁 Ukraine will win! 🇺🇦 Georgia will be free! 🇬🇪🇪🇺 Belarus will be free! ❤️🤍❤️ Venezuela will be free! 🇻🇪

You have to be genuinely fucking stupid to leave your battle plan in a car and run away. Genuinely. Then again, that's ICE.

a reminder, again, that AltNPS is a grifter account run by people who have no affiliation with the National Park Service and indeed who never did have any affiliation with the National Park Service. They have no sources, they have no information, they are purely there to scam you.

New York City turned OUT. @handsoffnyc.bsky.social ✊❤️

I’ll admit I didn’t know Ms. Rachel is a New Yorker. Damn… I mean I didn’t care and I might be entirely wrong about this but if she’s a NYer? We really are taking over the world…

lmao

With the exception of Tankie types, no one on the left is mourning the downfall of Maduro. They’re angry about the recklessness, the risk taking, the legal issues, the occupation, and the inevitable corruption.

Maduro is a brutal and oppressive dictator of Venezuela. Trump has no legitimate legal basis for military action against Venezuela under United States or international law. Both of those facts are simultaneously true.

BREAKING Zohran Mamdani has been sworn-in as the 112th Mayor of New York City.
