Bothers me when people discuss Left movements in the U.S. w/out underscoring the GENERATIONS of repression, surveillance, violence directed at movements. The "Left" is so disorganized is used as a joke but I hardly ever see those same people saying 'THE LEFT WAS TARGETED & DISORGANIZED by the STATE'

Charlie Kirk was a divisive far-right podcaster. Why is he being rebranded as a national hero?

Whether they're blaming vaccines and Tylenol, or selling dubious "remedies," what they're really doing is promoting the perception that families (and especially mothers) can prevent and treat Autism. And thus also the perception that people with Autism and their families don't need social support.

is this not just kidnapping?

Nothing says “land of the free” like armed agents of the state saying “show me your papers if you want your daughter back” bsky.app/profile/nbcb...

Bluesky @bsky.app still on the side of genocide. Remember it

"Is that your daughter? Come here so I can see those IDs," an agent can be heard saying in the video. "Hey, I can give it through the door," a man is heard saying in response. "You can do it right here," the agent says, pointing to the ground in front of himself. on.nbcboston.com/3phHyWE

I have a much different view of Jay’s actions, specifically whether he is driven by science or political objectives. I do not think he is a principled scientist at all. He is an ideological lackey. He serves whatever master will advance his interests. open.substack.com/pub/rasmusse...

In Naperville, IL on Wednesday, ICE surrounded a group of documented workers replacing a residential roof. ICE agents reportedly kicked over the ladders and forced the workers to jump. The episode involved a chase with guns drawn.

“Meta has used back-to-school pictures of schoolgirls to advertise one of its social media platforms to a 37-year-old man, in a move parents described as “outrageous” and “upsetting.” Meta has 100% stopped even *pretending* not to be astoundingly evil. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

On X I used data to show London does not have the highest crime rate in the world. 10 mins later a right winger linked to my book. 10 mins after that I got 40 1-star reviews from unverified accounts (previously 4.9 star avg). Fair play to Amazon - they removed them all. But that's how it works.

So many academics are on HB-1 visas. This is another attack by #RussellVought on universities and scientific research. Stop telling me anything this administration does is in good faith or with any sort of policy goal except destruction.

Far-right and neo-Nazis school shooters have carried out numerous deadly attacks this year - many influenced by and posting on, the same websites - yet the mass media and politicians focus on manufactured fantasies of left-wing violence. www.kunc.org/news/2025-09...

I think this person should get whatever and everything she wants, then some other time let’s talk about how victim’s rights as a concept is reactionary nonsense

the lesson of this administration is that law is fake, government is fake, the constitution is fake, and the country is what we choose to make it, not what some document requires

This 👇🏻 Jess, this!

"- the tribe that never fully surrendered to the American government, despite three Seminole Wars between the United States and the tribes which emerged from the Creeks. The video will focus on the history and culture of the Seminoles, the wars against the USA and one of their leaders - Osceola."

Jesus christ. It angers me deeply how not a single damn person in power who wants to at least pretend like they give a shit shout trans people will read even one damn book about the history of sex segregation in sports, cause you’d see how it’s all just sexist bs. www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

I saw that an acquaintance on FedBook has personally gotten over 55 people to cancel their Disney subscriptions. This is a homebound person and she found her lane and is absolutely kicking ass at the moment. People are doing things.

Jessie Watters is a genericaly evil mediocre white man Just a born with a silver spoon in his mouth rich man whohas never had to struggle Who hates everyone who are not straight Christian conservative white men This is a really great video by @domaindead.bsky.social I would recommend people watch it

It’s demoralizing to see people STILL living in the fantasy land where the Dems r anything more than better mannered partners in crime with the Repub party. At this point propping up this fiction is just propaganda for fascists & big capital.

Of all the stupid things that this regime has done, this is right up near the top. Postdoctoral researchers come to the US on H-1B visas. This will further destroy the US science enterprise. Stupid stupid stupid.

Irish rap group has been denied entry for their alleged support for Hamas and Hezbollah, accusations the group denies.

i would have guessed that playing footsie with reactionaries would have gotten you some kind of exemption -- guess not

Germans feeling guilty that Israel has to commit genocide and that they can't do it for them

As I told @newrepublic.com, "Once last week, twice today, ICE has picked me up and thrown me on the ground. Honestly, it doesn’t compare to what our neighbors who are trapped inside the Broadview processing facility are going through. They’re committing crimes against humanity there."

it’s funny how deep the american exceptionalism brainwashing goes. i know better. i’ve known better for years. i’ve breathed gas clouds just like this one. and yet every time i see pictures like this, i want so badly to say “i can’t believe this is america.” but i won’t. because i know better.

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.

Yeah, because Canadian leaders may sell Canada out to the US

Failing to address climate change is very expensive.

Senate Democrats unanimously voted to give that white supremacist neo Nazi a day of remembrance. Both sides are not the same, but Democrats are not on our side. They’re on the side of Nazis. It is time for a revolution.

My respect for anyone who says they're afraid of voting against this resolution is zero. You are a member of Congress. The country is being dragged to hell. 'People will threaten us.' What did you think this job entailed? Quit blubbering, vote no, and move on.

“This isn’t the America I know” Black People:

This is so apt I could shout. The white folks continue lecturing people online and by doing so putting EVERYBODY in danger. Including themselves. Tips that our ancestors knew were stupid AF even back then.

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.

I appeared on PBS and said Charlie Kirk was our George Floyd. But in my hip hop heart, he was our Biggie. The son of Satan, they say my killin's too blatant You hesitatin', I'm in your mama crib waitin' Duct tapin', your fam destiny Lays in my hands, gat lays in my waist by David Brooks

random history tidbit that probably has nothing at all to do with current events because why would it: weimar centrists (centre party) made coalition with the nazis to prevent the socialists and communists from gaining control of the reichstag, and they eventually voted for the enabling act.

boy oh boy i hate how relevant this one is becoming

These goons and the careerists who roll over for them are the kind of evil you read about in religious texts and bedtime stories.

Rich people, especially rich people in the media & entertainment industries right this moment: The point of having fuck you money is saying “fuck you” when it counts.

For decades anti-Zionists and Palestinians have been fired for criticizing Israel and no one objected. So frankly all of you can sit down and shut up.

👇🏻👇🏻👇🏻

Just to be clear, Charlie Kirk was a racist piece of shit, Israel is committing genocide in Occupied Palestine, and trans rights are human rights, and if a million people file ARDC complaints against me or send me death threats I will never recant any of those things.
