It would seem that spending a year and a half vehemently supporting the brazen censorship of young people crying out against genocide didn’t prepare the Democrats to be steadfast champions of free speech in the face of a consolidating neo-Nazi dictatorship.

I think the time and study is probably more stuff like facilitation training, operational security training, civil disobedience training, direct action training, and spending time building cred in above ground organizing than like knowing what Kropotkin had to say about bees and soup

just learned that one of the people in the feminist caucus meeting objected to a rule change that would allow delegates to say their pronouns without being out of order because "it would alienate rural Minnesotans" and what are we even fucking doing. Stop assuming rural = ignorant or bigoted.

I also have a case right now, I am not joking, where another attorney argued - and a judge agreed - that a Muslim litigant should not be able to reschedule a deposition noticed for Eid because it's not a court holiday and none of the attorneys are Muslim. Things are getting BAD.

Christians seeing someone else having a different religion as discrimination is just so on the nose.

I got called a kapo and an antisemite this morning for not lionizing Kirk, and then I read this, and I guess American Jews not being fascists means well just redefine "Jew" to include him and not us, huh

they don't want you to joke about a man's death but then they're out there saying things like this

NEW: Australia, Canada, and the United Kingdom announced today that they have all recognized the State of Palestine

I joked the other day that all the Post's editorials are just "what if this bad thing were actually good," and will you look at that

Okay so this guy does not appear to be one of those parental alienation nutjobs. He is however a former CO who alleged wage theft and was put on paid leave for two years before being fired and started an org called The Whistleblower Project and shows up to public appearances in a referee uniform.

Tomorrow we'll be formally announcing the Charlie Kirk Remembrance Day Art Contest. Remember, you don't have to be good at art to remember Charlie Kirk the way he truly deserves!

none of my posts have been as mean as this painting is

Today, Canada recognises the State of Palestine.   My statement: www.pm.gc.ca/en/news/stat...

The UK has officially recognized the state of Palestine, Keir Starmer announces.

if you model @safety.bsky.app as nazis trying and failing to play coy, you will make accurate predictions of their behaviour

there's only one sort of person who interprets the photo of Mussolini hanging as a death threat, and the CEO of Bluesky is one of them

I’d completely forgotten that Homan spoke at the Moonie offshoot church that worships AR-15s. Remind me again, why did we stop calling them weird?

My statement formally recognising the State of Palestine.

I love when I post good political shit and I get followed by sex workers as a result. Incredibly validating for my politics

Just thinking about the people who see “the Haitians… are raping your women and hunting you down at night… and they will become your masters" as a legitimate exercise in free speech and “From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free” as impermissible incitement to violence. May they be healed.

Reminder that generative AI, particularly in the arts, isn't a long-term inevitability just because billionaires want it to be.

Self-serving politicians may want you to believe that violent crime is rampant and repeat offenders are to blame – but two things to remember: 1. Overall crime rates are at historically low levels 2. 74% of all jail bookings are for charges that are not "violent"

every poster whose skeets get read in court should be required to have a username that is this funny, at bare minimum

Why didn't the Biden administration pursue the case further? In part, it's because much of what was previously considered fraud and bribery is now legal, thanks to the Roberts Supreme Court. Way more here: www.nytimes.com/2025/09/20/o...

More than that. "The FBI ***recorded*** Tom Homan taking the money "after indicating he could help the agents — who were posing as business executives — win government contracts in a second Trump administration."

I just want it to be clear that every time I share an express disapproval of a bad thing a politician has done I, personally, am incredibly surprised it occurred. My model prior to this was that no bad stuff happened and politicians/journalists always mean well. So really I'm quite put out of sorts.

Update: A Green Party of England & Wales spokesperson tells me they've just broken 78,000 members Which means the party has jumped 5,000 in less than 5 days. Picking up a lot of Your Party backers no doubt And it's up by 10,000 - about 15% - since Zack Polanski was elected leader. A big cash boost

Ben Franklin:

This is what happens when you hire a bunch of conservatives as editors and writers.

To be more specific: Ezra Klein not only said nice things about Charlie Kirk but *made up nice things* to praise him for. Kirk was an open white supremacist who spread “great replacement” conspiracies and claimed that the end of Jim Crow via the 1964 Civil Rights Act was a mistake. Klein is out.

A typical photo of Irish ProLifers: Old white Christian men, intent on forcing women back to the role of subdued, obedient breeders. With no say in what happens to their own bodies nor lives. Wake up and smell 2025 FFS 🤬🤬🤬

Geographically challenged wars rarely get off to a good start.

It seems fitting that when authoritarianism came to the US, it would express itself in the form of mad libs.

Hell yeah, fucl Lazio!

This is what I mean when I say they can't fix it. it's not broken, it's structurally indifferent to truth It's built on "likely" Sometimes likely = true Often it isn't

Hell yeah fuck Lazio

"Lazio fans are going to be really disappointed if-" Oh go tell them to sacrifice a goat

I genuinely, earnestly hate to say "told you so"

New film follows five years of Alaska Native families seeking justice for murdered loved ones, reports Corinne Smith for the @alaskabeacon.com

Fuck those Lazio fascists

“With a single post or video, we can influence thousands of guests to try a food, drink, or experience in the parks,” she says. “I couldn’t, in good conscience, keep giving them free publicity knowing they don’t support free speech and are willing to bow to fascism."

The lightbulb is burned out at the Washington Post

This is why there is no such thing as a "trans exclusionary radical feminist" – there is no way to define a woman that isn't telling women what to do

you can't excise trans people from society because transness is an emergent property of free will. if you divide the world up into men and women and say men do this and women do that, some people are going to say that sucks, fuck you, i do what i want. it doesn't get more complicated than that

When a manuscript has serious concerns raised about its scientific validity and integrity, it should be carefully examined, particularly when it’s being used to justify anti-vax quackery.
