Fellow Asian Americans: your imagined and desired proximity to whiteness will not save you.

Yep, definitely will not be voting for @rephaleystevens.bsky.social even if she is the democratic nominee in Michigan. 2026 is the year I vote based on the quality of the candidate, not on which party they belong to because it's clear democrats do not represent my interests.

If @jocelynbenson.bsky.social is the nominee for MI governor, I'll be sitting out this election; just like I'll be sitting out the senator's race if the nominee is @rephaleystevens.bsky.social No more voting for democrats that put corporate and foreign interests first. #NoDataCentersInMichigan

@slotkin.senate.gov why are you endorsing giving $50 million of our tax payer dollars to a mining company for a project that could contaminate our Great Lakes? How much money have you taken from them? You never answer your constituents but you have all the time for lobbies and Israel.

Religious studies nerds: have you watched andor? Have you all watched andor? What do you think of this for my online asynchronous race and religion class:

Every democrat that supports bombing Iran needs to be primaried. Every democrat that takes a cent from Israel needs to be primaried.

Yet still nothing to say about the new private ICE facility in MI? And still supporting genocide in Palestine? And still no answering of your phones or returning messages? You know who answers phone calls? Tom Barrett. You are trash - resign.

This is what happens when PoS politicians (the pretend to care but don't) like @slotkin.senate.gov and other @democrats.org take money from genocidal nation-states and corporate PACs. Primary them all, and let's start planning now for 2030 to primary Slotkin, Gallego, etc...

@slotkin.senate.gov why don't your staff answer the phones? You know who's staff does? Tom Barrett - the republican that replaced you.

@michigandems.bsky.social @juliebrixie.bsky.social #SamSingh @gretchenwhitmer.bsky.social Why don't democrats answer the phone or return phone calls anymore? And why are you allowing a private deportation facility (really they are concentration camps ) to open in our state? #SHAME

@slotkin.senate.gov Your tweet is a lie. I have called numerous times and left many messages and not one call back. Anyone else having a hard time getting a hold of the people that should be working for us, not aipac, private prisons, crypto, or corporations?

W.E.B. Du Bois on Robert E. Lee: “Either he knew what slavery meant when he helped maim and murder thousands in its defense, or he did not. If he did not he was a fool. If he did, Robert Lee was a traitor and a rebel–not indeed to his country, but to humanity and humanity’s God.”

A bag of flour should not cost $300 but this is what happens when empires force famines. This is no different to what the British did in India and Ireland. Please donate if you can ♥️

If you want to understand the horror and tragedy of our current moment - you have to watch #andor The heartbreak that emerges is that we all know deep down this genocide was preventable, but there are more Dedras and Cyrils in our galaxy than Cassians and Bixes.

One of the reasons I stay over there is to follow Palestinians and I keep hearing that Bluesky is erasing Palestinian accounts? Anyone who law hear that? Is there a Palestinian starter pack on here? A space that calls itself progressive that censors anything about Palestine is not progressive 🤷🏾‍♀️

My obituary for Pope Francis @pontifexes.bsky.social

hey Maryland folks (@twolemonades.com, @swilua.bsky.social, anybody else I'm forgetting) trying to find short-term housing in MD for an Afghan refugee family they had resettlement money and were applying for asylum but, uh, I guess asylum is canceled? and so are their resettlement funds?

It’s not a prison but a concentration camp. It’s not deportation, it’s abduction.

So many heartbreaking stories from this tragedy in the Dominican Republic.

NEH awardee friends: this is important information.

Thank you @corybooker.com You have made my job easier and safer - by speaking up on this specific topic of history, you've given cover to those of us that are demonized for teaching this history. I am truly grateful.

The co-director of the Oscar-winning documentary NO OTHER LAND, which still has no distributor, is missing. I look forward to seeing people make excuses for this as Israel is bombing hospitals and killing children.

Are signal chats foia-able? Asking for a friend

For all the people blaming Michigan Arabs for Harris's loss, riddle me this: how was Zionist slotkin able to win and not Harris? Answer: white women Stop being racists and let's tackle white supremacy together

I'm about to go and teach a class on race, gender, and class. I'm scared and anxious that I might get reported. I'm gonna do my best to be brave - this is that moment that history prompts us to imagine but I never thought I'd actually be here.

This op-ed explains how to start an ICE Watch neighborhood program in your community. ⤵️

Not just a nation of immigrants - a nation of settler colonizers.

My article on the #latinx vote just came out today @hammerandhope.bsky.social hammerandhope.org/article/lati...

Every time I see a post about this, I think about doctors performing surgeries without anesthesia in Gaza. Even if you cannot get yourself to care about others, at least have the understanding that what happens “there” opens doors to horrors here.

we all need to hear this

A lot of people are upset that folks are making fun of a dead insurance-company CEO. These same people have been indifferent, if not gleeful, about the ongoing genocide in Palestine. Spare me the outrage.

If you see this post, can you please help spread this information? #ASafeChoice is a referral network of physicians who provide medication abortion services ACROSS THE US. People everywhere need to know about this option. These doctors have capacity to help more women! Let’s spread word! ❤️✊

Be better @michdem.bsky.social Please don't let a Canadian firm mine and pollute the UP And no more money to corporations, esp. nestle - we've already given them too much of our water. Be for the people not corporations.
