Pretty clear illustration of "you may as well stand up for what you believe in, they're coming for you anyway."

the kimmel thing is bad but as long as they arent rounding people up indiscriminately based on race, building concentration camps and talking about eradicating those they deem sexual deviants, i think we’ll be ok

If I were editing a column about Charlie Kirk’s political genius, I would tell the writer he needed to quote Kirk’s actual political beliefs. If the writer responded that doing so would weaken or distract from his argument, it’d be a pretty good sign that the column was not ready for prime time.

Oh whilst we're on the subject of political violence, it seems appropriate that today is 9/11. Because Gitmo? Extraordinary rendition? Black sites? Abu Ghraib? The invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan? The way this country treated Muslim and Arab people after 9/11? All political violence.

The term 'political violence' exists to manufacture an artificial distinction between the violence of capital and the state against the working class and any violence against capital and the state, expressly so that the former can be tacitly endorsed while the latter is condemned.

This darling is helping me get ready for zine fest!

these teams are so hilarious and so, so good. they spend about 75 minutes trying to beat each other up and bait the ref, then decide to play soccer and trade highlight reel goals until 3-3.

Mad game this Copa America Femenina! Crazy goals. Stupid goals. Silly actions. Rubbish play. Stellar skills. Everything in one. Only thing missing is a red card.

This Brazil v Colombia Copa América final is wild. The commentator said this as we went to halftime. It is a MOOD! #woso

Guess what??? I have a drawing in this zine! 😮

The scariest Nazi Germany-adjacent thing happening right now is the courts treating the Trump administration's legal-ish justifications for power grabs, subversion of basic rights, and militarism as good-faith legal arguments, despite overwhelming evidence that those justifications are ruses.

Quelle surprise.

Jaw-dropping reporting by Haaretz www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

It’s not enough for Israeli forces to bomb Gaza relentlessly. It’s not enough for them to starve Gaza, deliberately withholding aid. These war criminals insist also on firing at Palestinians lined up to receive aid. And they do it all with support from my government and my tax dollars.

I wrote this poem and carved this stamp. Free Palestine!

I really do think this might be the worst Supreme Court of all time, which is saying something for an institution that coexisted with slavery These motherfuckers are even worse imo bc they are *also* out here using antebellum reasoning and pursuing antebellum goals but well post bellum!
