Out of fucking control and if I were an elected Dem or running for office I’d be in front of every camera I could find telling America your prescriptions just got twice as expensive, your health insurance premiums are about to skyrocket from ACA subsidy cancellation, and oh the gov shuts down Wed.

hot take: there is distressingly little material difference between city pigs kidnapping BIPOC folks off the street in 1851 and ICE pigs kidnapping BIPOC folks off the street in 2025. abolish ICE & abolish the carceral state. police have always been the enemy of liberation. acab.

Yeah, and the RCMP was modelled after the Royal Irish Constabulary. The same Black and Tans the Irish fought against, and the ones who policed Palestine until 1966: link.springer.com/book/10.1007...

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

On another note, there are some terrific Communiversity sessions happening this weekend through November 15. You should sign up! www.interruptingcriminalization.com/events/all/c... - There's a youth day on 10/25. If you know 14-17 year old people in the city, let them know!

Microsoft will no longer allow Israel to use its cloud services to enable its mass surveillance of occupied Palestinians – "the first known case of a US technology company withdrawing services provided to the Israeli military since the beginning of its war on Gaza"

This is a good and important move. It was also done only after Microsoft was exposed by the Guardian for aiding the genocide this way, and after Gaza is basically decimated. So the main props here go to the Guardian

This has been such a lovely, encouraging response to my return to video work 🥰🙏

I'm going to leave this here because I even see a lot of leftists regularly speaking about 'what the country wants' when in fact NO. MOST PEOPLE DID NOT VOTE FOR THIS MAN and LESS THAN 50% of people who voted actually voted for him.

Millions of people in this country DO NOT VOTE. They can and should be enlisted in an anti-fascist fight.

gotta remember that no one likes this shit

new scam going around where they hire you for a job but pay you less than the value your labor produced

That last line is something we need to be hammering home. All of this, the anti-trans stuff, the immigrant hate, it's all scapegoating away from the real problem of the people at the top addicted to money and power. They know their system sucks, so they make us direct our class rage at each other.

It’s gone so quickly from ‘boat people’ to all immigrants. So quickly from ‘I don’t mind if they come here legally and pay taxes’ to ‘actually it’s anyone foreign’. We are living in the ‘first they came for’ poem. All to give the population a scapegoat so the super rich can hoard yet more wealth.

register voters. Check in w/ them periodically to inform them of upcoming elections. Help them get to the polls.

Flood Congressional offices with mail: protest every chance we get: boycott all offending companies. SCREAM. #NEVERCOMPLY

It also feels notable that this behavior reportedly alienated all of Jahn's real-life friends. On some level it must be a coping mechanism for some sort of deeper depression or disconnection. These guys are falling an abyss and end up tumbling into weird corners of the internet.

They lie. They lie and lie and lie, they do not care and they will keep doing it. Us pointing out that they're lying is not stopping it and it's not convincing enough people to fight back. So what else are we going to do on top of expressing outrage?

Just got rejected from the Journal of Medical Ethics. It was pretty illuminating in terms of how far society has fallen.

If you were concerned about Kimmel, here's another for you… Journalist Mario Guevara has been detained for 100+ days, ironically arrested as he reported on a "No Kings" protest. The Trump-Vance admin just issued an order of final removal, to send him to El Salvador—where he fled from 21 years ago.

Don’t get me wrong, it continues to be very scary that the Trump administration keeps desperately trying to create Reichstag fires and Horst Wessel Power Hours, it’s just also very noticeable that they somehow keep failing to stick the landing.

what if we kissed 🥺👉👈 on the smouldering ruins of the hierarchical power structures we're all trapped in 😳😍🥵

Saw someone post about how it's really fucked up that we all have to speculate about whether or not the FBI manufactured evidence to back their version of events. The thing is, you should always suspect that about law enforcement—these guys are just more clown-ish and obvious about it.

Easy messaging win for Dems, "you can't have [good thing] because Trump is spending $20B to subsidize the failures of some libertarian clown abroad." And, no, Dems shouldn't support it because it's "foreign aid." It's a right-wing clown bailout. Supporting it trivializes and undermines foreign aid.

NEW: A Beginner's Guide to Psychedelics! We all need healing, badly. And plant medicines are here for us! But they're powerful tools, so go in with cautious curiosity. Here, I give some history and context around sacred plant medicines, and a primer on how to set up for success 🍄

Listen I am all for us reconnecting with one another, I am even on the side of "chatting with strangers on planes is good," but I get 5+ spam calls every single day there's just no way I'm picking up that phone anymore

it's so nice to see what a functioning judiciary looks like "A transgender woman in the East African nation of Kenya has won a landmark court victory in which the judge not only found in her favour, but ordered the government to pass a Transgender Protection Rights Act." fuck yeah

"'Blocchiamo Tutto' ('We Block Everything' for Gaza)." "500,000 participants in 65 cities." "All of Italy's major ports, 90 percent of public transport, and 50 percent of railways were blocked." #Italy #Gaza #Palestine #Israel #Policing #Genocide

I would garden for y'all so hard, and spend my evenings endlessly and happily consulting with people about psychedelic healing

The thing about being neurodivergent is that I Like It. What I don’t like is that the world imposes numerous taxes on me for being like this. I don’t view it as a Me problem.

YouTube removed a channel that was dedicated to posting AI-generated videos of women being shot in the head following 404 Media’s request for comment. The videos were clearly generated with Google’s new AI video generator tool. 🔗 www.404media.co/ai-generated...

Well, at least we’re burning through water and poisoning the Black people of Memphis so we can get more positive representations of, uh

This is a key point: We need to recognize how dangerous, how precarious this moment is - but without perpetuating the Trumpists' assertions of strength and dominance. The gap between their authoritarian aspirations and the reality of American society remains vast. That's where the counter happens.

ftr, the median age of first marriage for women is like 24-28 for the vast majority of the world, these are almost all holdover laws that just did not get updated lol. It is 'weird' to be married before you're 13, let alone 18, in most of the world lol.

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...

i have to say, as a trans journalist who has covered the "trans debate" for about a decade now, there is no daylight between how the trump administration and conservatives lie about tylenol and autism and how they've lied about youth trans care.

today i am challenging democratic politicians, for the rest of the week, to pick one (1) horrifying thing republicans are doing and pretend its as bad as jimmy kimmel being indefinitely suspended id suggest tom homan taking bribes, but theres a few things to pick from if they want

RFK Jr: The Amish don't have autism The Amish:

Eat. Sleep. Exercise. Nurture the relationships that sustain you. Protect your health. Find joy. Don't mistake any of these for the resistance itself. Joy isn't resistance, neither is rest. But you need to be whole to resist for a lifetime.

We're going to be in movement for the rest of our lives, there's a world to win & so much between us and freedom. How do we make struggle sustainable? So ask yourself, what is the best use of my skills and resources. Limit yourself to that work, because you can't be everywhere.

just saying: it's possible that "I'm gonna dramatically constrict my state capacity while plotting dramatic imperial expansion, and expanding my set of internal enemies while alienating most of my foreign allies" is the beginning of a world-historical masterstroke. but also possible that it isn't

I'll continue to be "I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win"-posting, so figure I should address this point that seems to come up every so often Q: "is it still 'winning' if only *some* good things happen in the near term instead of total planetary eco socialist revolution?" A: yes

This is fucking insane and I am astonished at how irresponsible Global News upper management is being with this. They’re risking the credibility of all their journalists and for…what? Canada’s worst nepo baby?

Two Indigenous women say the growing spread of residential school denialism is the reason they a wrote a book on the subject. Decolonization and Me was released by Phyllis Webstad, who started Orange Shirt Day, and Métis scholar Kristy McLeod.

Hell yeah, chipping away at the post-PhD to do list I made two years ago

"This concession shows that student campaigns do have an influence ... It also shows that these ties cannot survive transparency and public awareness. Student action is not meaningless; despite increased repression, it is more important than ever to resist genocide."
