choosing to organize society around a system of exploitation and oppression that prioritizes consuming the cheapest trash imaginable at the highest possible cost makes perfect sense if you're a psychopath

Any history of this year is going to have to grapple with the unwillingness of white liberals to hold their own moribund systems of power accountable when they completely capitulated to fascism.

Interacting with rank-and-file Democrats and seeing the ways in which they view Palestinian or trans lives as a thought experiment, merely chips to be traded away, has been deeply radicalizing.

it's easy to get bogged down in the arguments transphobes pretend to be making but in the end they are just people who spend more time thinking about kid genitals than pediatric urologists

And everything these freaks fantasize and legislate about happening to trans kids, they do but even worse, every day, to their own kids, who need to be liberated from their parents along with all our kids who also need to be liberated from those kids' parents

Pulled one of them talking fish what grants wishes out of the old pond last night. He says, “Let me go and I’ll give you whatever your heart desires.” Sorry pal, no can do. If you can grant wishes from a pond you can do it from the aquarium in my den. Now I have cold beer without leavin’ the couch

it's better to think of the useless centrist 'expand the tent but only rightwards' media people & politicians as blockers paid to occupy space that could otherwise be utilized productively by a serious person. their opinions are pre-approved by their donors and will never change

The bi-partisan silencing of the Free Palestine movement was the prototype for the silencinging of journalism and culture currrently underway in the US.

Any given performer anywhere on Earth: Free Palestine 200,000 young people: *passionately scream their lungs out in full approval* Every Western fascist & centrist & neoliberal party: omg that's the worst sound I've ever heard in my life won't someone call the police and the state department

A Black teen named Kalief Browder was falsely accused of stealing a backpack. He spent 3 years tortured at Rikers & died by suicide A wealthy white man named Tom Homan was caught by FBI accepting bribes. He was promoted to a powerful law enforcement position This is what white supremacy looks like

what can i say? i’m good at what i do

Embrace the process! 🤘🏻🥳🤘🏻

Do people really not understand "girls in sports" is just like a poison ... that has entered our collective bloodstream ... and if you repeat it, all you're doing is telling on *yourself* that you've absorbed that toxin. All you're telling me is you HAVEN'T ACTUALLY THOUGHT ABOUT THIS

He's that worst kind of racist - he probably thinks he's not a racist, and by his terms, he isn't... he'd probably never use the 'n-word' or like that, but he is thoroughly steeped in the systemic racism our society has had since its earliest days, he literally can't see the racism.

I love us! Shoutout to #WSSU

He hit that shit 😂

Fuck yes

Listen u know I won't ask u to ever read theory (boring, scary) but what if I suggest you read a critical analysis of Walt Disney's propaganda contributions to destroy communism & manufacture consent for the American war machine esp in the global south lol jk what if I said read a comic book

Are you a writer in NYC? I’ll be in conversation w/Tamela Gordon, author of Hood Wellness, on 10/5 from 1-3p at Bluestockings Cooperative Bookstore to talk writing, process, art, & activism. See you there!

really can't imagine how that would feel

the greatest threat to a free society is not, with a handful of exceptions, the people you find the most annoying on the internet

Fucking sucks to be having to constantly say "it's all connected man IT'S ALL FUCKIN CONNECTED" without even the benefit of being on psychedelics

Yeah okay it's definitely not to keep information out of the hands of some of the most vulnerable people in all of America, making incarcerated people pay for their own newspaper subscriptions instead of having friends and family pay for their newspaper subscriptions

Very cool.

Cop: I had to narcan the chief Chief of police: Yeah, cuz I got fentanyl on my vest Cop: Yeah, when u did all that-- Chief: I cut my arm Cop: Oh right, he cut his arm Chief: And that's why there's fentanyl in my blood Cop: Yeah, that's right, he didn't do that fentanyl Chief: Right

Y’all have to understand and absorb the fact the leadership of the Democratic Party has purposefully defined themselves against this person and what they believe she represents for decades now.

The stupidest thing that people love to say on Bluesky is “it’s not about ideology it’s about fight vs not fight.” The reality is 180 degrees the opposite. When centrists “fight” it’s purely conditional or for a momentary perceived personal benefit.

FYI

Gawd, I fucking hate these apps and cannot wait to get a server for my Plex account

“Ezra Klein intervened personally to help out,” is great and I’m glad that happened, I also cannot recall anytime any of these people have helped out random Black people and I doubt anyone I know could name one.

“We knew Nixon was negotiating with the enemy but we were too principled to say anything.” Good for you here’s a cookie.

Almost inevitably, a white liberal pundit who finds a way to “hear out” or “find commonalities” with white supremacists eventually starts saying depraved shit. I need to understand why that’s not the last strike for white people that it is for Black political observers.

One of my favorite moments of latex ball 2019 I LOVE THE ATHLETICISM MY GAAAWD MIKAYLA AND HONEY

Source identifiers are insidious. Now that I have this information, I don’t even want to share anymore.

“Trix are so dangerous we won’t even give them to rabbits!”

It is very hard for me not to cut and paste passages from my book into posts at this point. I have been told by my editor not to give away the goods. That said. The difference in scale of outrage between Attiah’s firing and Kimmel’s suspension proves a whole point about canaries and coal mines.

Hitler didn’t start with camps.

The Democrats in the Senate and Congress did *not* vote for a "murder is bad" resolution as some are claiming, they voted to *honor* the actions and ideology of a Nazi and grant him a national holiday. Let's not let this truth get twisted.

People are never terrible in only one way. Transphobes are also racists are also megalomaniacs because transphobia is rooted in white supremacy. "Being nice to trans people" is "load bearing" because once you start picking who has rights, nobody has rights.

I'm so tired of this puritanical bullshit. Sex is healthy, sex fantasies are healthy, fiction is healthy. I wish people would stop conflating BDSM and fiction with assault. People have fantasies about power. That's normal! Exploring feeling via stories is what humans do!

In a world where the word is very overused, this is ICONIC.

Authorities - what a lot of people don't appreciate (mostly because until recently it was taken for granted) is that there is (or at least is supposed to be) direct traceability between any order for military action involving the use of force and the authority authorizing that action

I’M. DYING. This is what giving zero fucks and using your white right, looks like . . .😂🤣

Curtis Evans is 65. He's a Marine veteran. He volunteers for the congressional campaign of @katmabu.bsky.social. He was protesting against an ICE detention facility. He's the subject of this photo by @staceywescott.bsky.social, which should be at the least nominated for a Pulitzer Prize. Semper Fi

State Senator Graciela Guzman is out here in front of the facility demanding the release of two of her constituents (who are U.S. citizens), asking to speak with federal agents. No response from them so far. Shes putting on a respirator.

Republicans: "transgenderism must be eradicated." Trans people: "they're trying to eradicate us." Republicans: "Saying we want to eradicate you is violent extremism."

As usual with this issue, Harris is calling for a compromise that already exists. Every sporting body has standards for how long athletes must be on hormones before they can compete as women. The problem isn’t that we’re ignoring ‘reasonable concerns,’ the problem is that republicans are lying.
