The editorial team at the Mississippi Free Press discovered we published a column written by a fake author using artificial intelligence. Here’s what happened and what we're doing to prevent this from happening in the future. www.mississippifreepress.org/editors-note...

Wonderful to see Joshua explain, to a large and ideologically aligned audience, the petrodollar: how it's helped fund US imperialism, how it's helped reproduce US political hegemony, and how the current threat to its existence may help create conditions for more effectively fighting against both.

RIP. I will never forget the police brutalizing him — and then that one cop stopping the other cop from helping him

"An extremely invasive surveillance capability such as this should require the strongest judicial oversight and confirmation that such intrusion is necessary and [a] proportionate response to the crime being investigated," EFF’s @cooperq.com told @npr.org.

I never post or share generative AI content knowingly. If I ever post some community destroying, Earth killing, collective intellect necrotizing, propagandist & delusional boomer loving filth I invite you to publicly call me out, don’t gently call me in.

I think about this a lot, too. I wrote about some of the things that I think have shifted for parents here...

Did they ever apologize and make amends for firing their employees for wearing Palestinian Keffiyehs?

At Gender Liberation Movement’s Dinner, Trans Identity Wasn’t Just Visible—It Was Celebrated @genderlib.com in Vogue www.vogue.com/slideshow/ge...

We all know this is fascism.

as always, the Left is held to account for the most inane statements by people without any institutional power and the Right is a collection of smol beans who don't represent the larger movement

“Rowling has made it abundantly clear that she thinks attacking transgender people via the legal system is a worthwhile cause and a good use of her vast personal fortune…there’s no way to watch this show without supporting Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting…”

Digital security at No Kings! Step 3: If you want to help get the word out about good digital security practices, we made flyers! activistchecklist.org/flyer Honestly, having something to do at the protest other than march makes it a lot more fun.

Headed to No Kings this Saturday? 3 steps for your digital security! Step 1: Do our protest prep checklist 👇 activistchecklist.org/protest (This may be a low-risk march — but practice now, for when things heat up.) Step 2: Remind your comrades. Security is a team sport. Share this around.

In the final days of Women’s History Month, I am not interested in admiration. I am interested in use. Audre Lorde and Octavia Butler did not leave us language just to quote. They left us a way to see, to think, and to live without dividing ourselves to survive. simplyedynandco.com/blogs/archiv...

We could just scrap TSA and go back to having airports & airlines be responsible for their own security. We wouldn’t have this chaos when there’s a government funding gap, and as a nice perk we’d ditch a lot of time-consuming theater that adds little meaningful security benefit.

I appreciated reading this. nymag.com/intelligence...

A Palestinian woman who was the last person still in immigration detention after the Trump administration's 2025 crackdown on pro-Palestinian activists has been released.

Columbia University has a hell of a lot to answer for.

Democrats are working to quash leftwing protests even harder than the Trump admin — even as Trump’s DOJ deploys a previously unused subsection of federal law to unleash sweeping indictments on First Amendment-protected activity. New from me for @prismreports.org: prismreports.org/2026/03/11/n...

Nothing bad ever happened after a government demanded a list like this, right?

Where did all the "I need guns to protect against a tyrannical government" people go 🤔

“In fascist society, everyone is educated to be a hero.” — Umberto Eco

lets fucking goooooooo LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOO

Connecting with the people nearest to us can be a great place to start, but sometimes, those people suck—or at least, aren't going to warm up to anything quickly. It's okay to look for people you have reason to believe will respond well and start there. Just start *somewhere*.

Talked recently with someone who has some shitty neighbors, and was daunted by the idea of reaching out to those people for hyperlocal organizing. I asked if there were people with anti-ICE or other good window signage who lived nearby. They said yes. I suggested they try to meet those people first.

Seriously, get off of X. Don't post there and don't spend time there. You will get exposed to propaganda and bullshit that will nestle into the corners of your brain EVEN IF YOU KNOW IT'S BULLSHIT. Stay away.

“direct your anger at trump not the democrats” buddy you are severely underestimating the amount of anger i have available to me

New — I spoke to eight trans people in Kansas about the new state law that invalidated their driver’s licenses overnight, what’s it’s like to live there right now, plus details of two DMV emails exclusively obtained by The Handbasket that shed light on the law’s chaotic and cruel rollout:

Reducing human value to what we can be trained to do is straight up technofascism. Every fascism has its suhumans. To technofascists, humans are the subhumans.

Marian Hassan finds strength in memories of her father’s resistance.

Libraries are among the few public institutions that represent the kind of world we want to live in. They must be fought for.

The bottom line is that NYC Public Libraries need increased and most importantly STABLE funding annually. Mayor Mamdani promised both and this preliminary budget is a BROKEN PROMISE. There’s time for him to rectify this. NYC library patrons expect that he will.

I hope New Yorkers will challenge Mamdani about this. Too often, people feel they need to be absolutely for or against a politician — ignoring their missteps or throwing them out with the bathwater. You can like and/or believe in someone and still challenge them to deliver on their promises.

Between this and the story about the ice agents who ate at a Mexican restaurant and then arrested some of its workers when they were done, it's a reminder that these people reject even the most basic social agreements of hospitality and of helping others. They're sociopaths.

The Project 2025 author is using millions of dollars in USAID money for his own security detail. It is estimated that 762,000 people have *already died* as a result of Elon Musk and Russell Vought’s obscene murder of USAID, including more than 500,000 children. Vought is a mass murderer.

The Border Patrol agents lied. They always lie. And they lie to destroy other people's lives for fun. www.huffpost.com/entry/border...

He literally says in this clip that ICE will keep in Minnesota “quick reaction forces” — a military term — to go after “agitators.” Remember that those on the ground in MPLS have spent more than a week trying to tell everyone that Trump’s prior “deescalation” was a ruse and ICE is still operational

A Dakota prayer camp has gone up across the highway from Whipple Federal Building to protest U.S. immigration enforcement. Organizers draw connections between current practices and historical injustices.

still reeling over the guy that brought up potentially losing global entry at the constitutional observer training. I know people don’t want to give up comforts but please

“Free” surveillance is a trap. Vendor trials, private donors, and federal grants hand police no‑cost tools that quietly build massive databases on all of us and feed ICE and DHS pipelines. Cities can and should refuse the bait. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

That the illegal destruction of USAID will kill more than *20 million people* in the next five years, & has ALREADY KILLED 600,000 in just one year, is a world-historical crime that Americans aren't being told about in the terms & with the repetition necessary for them to believe it.

Super Bowl viewers Sunday speculated that 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos appeared in the halftime show. In fact, he has been in hiding with his family. “He can’t sleep well at night. He wakes up three or four times a night screaming, ‘Daddy, Daddy,’” Liam's father Adrian Conejo Arias, said.

NEW: Police in riot gear arrested up to 54 protesters on Feb. 7 at the Whipple Federal Building following a day of actions that culminated in protesters throwing hundreds of dildos. [Videos] unicornriot.ninja/2026/dozens-...

some things are actually getting worse here.
