At some point I'm going to truly internalize that @sarahkendzior.bsky.social has been right about all of this from day one sarahkendzior.substack.com/p/servants-o...

I was suspended right before the Epstein emails were released. If the BlueSky search engine works, you will find a wealth of posts from me about the people in those emails, who I wrote about in my books HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT and THEY KNEW. This is the work I feared would be erased on Twitter.

Today I wrote about Zohran Mamdani's historic win, the energizing power of holding to shared principles of decency, and a taxonomy of the endlessly intertwined relationship between shame and vision. www.the-reframe.com/the-extraord...

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day. certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

if you want to know what happened to Teen Vogue yesterday, my work wife @allegrak.bsky.social — who ran our politics section for 6 years until this past June — said it all in this. can't even pull out a favorite part til I sign my separation letter lol, just read the whole thing.

This is hawt🔥🔥🔥 (But in a different way from my friends’ thirst postings😜)

@blazinghell.bsky.social hey my alarm just went off. Have you eaten, drank and taken your meds?❤️🥰

please someone who makes videos, especially in the field of dispelling AI misinformation get out there and try to let people know The Satanic Temple CANNOT feed people, isn’t inclined to, and has no financial transparency about where donations go this stuff is going wild

I WANT TO ADD SOMETHING VERY IMPORTANT TO THIS. You don't have to be sure. If you get a bad feeling, stay away from them. You're doing no harm by choosing not to be around sus people. You don't need to have a trial, you don't need to have overwhelming evidence. You get a weird feeling, dip.

context here - they’re gonna be everywhere. not only do we never see people stealing from grocery stores - if you see it, help them get away with it.

THREAD. We have just filed a landmark new civil rights case in Colorado in our campaign across the country to establish a constitutional right for children to hug their parents. More information to come soon, but this is a big deal.

self-managed abortion at home do it anyway zine www.tangledwilderness.org/shop/p/how-t... herbal abortion a diy zine archive.org/details/herb...

And this leads to one thing, among many, that scares me a lot now: Things were already very bad on this front, but the unhinged gestapo tactics of ICE grant enormous power to predators across society in positions of power to prey upon vulnerable people: employers, abusers, etc.

THREAD. Did you know that at about 1/3 of all stranger homicides in the U.S. are perpetrated by police? But there's something hidden here that is important to understand in this authoritarian moment.

If demanding that we respect and honor the humanity of (for example) trans people, or demanding they be afforded equal recognition by and protection under the law, is a divisive distraction, what are the shared values that we would all focus on, and what sort of coalition would be formed over them?

To me it seems what these "win the center" types are objecting to is not purity tests per se, but rather a negotiation over which purity tests we ought to prioritize over others, and who we ought to mean when we say "we." It makes me wonder.

It's fascinating and revealing how many centrists think refusing to compromise on human rights to gain the support of bigots represents a "political purity test," yet also think that a bigot saying "I won't join you unless you accommodate my bigotry" does NOT represent a "political purity test."

At the Broadview ICE "processing facility" outside Chicago. Earlier today, federal agents unleashed chemical weapons on protesters, elected officials, a local congressional candidate, and a local mayor. Defiant anti deportation activists remain. Another protest is planned for 7pm.

So many people I share spaces and/or identities with really believed they would never be criminalized and are experiencing the horror of the looming system for the first time and yes, it fucking sucks, your response is understandable. But think about how many ppl u know have always lived with this

Ever since Donald Trump was declared the winner of the 2024 election, I have warned that he would use every tool and level of government to target his political opponents. Now it is happening. www.democracydocket.com/opinion/trum...

“Severance" actor Tramell Tillman has won the Emmy for outstanding supporting actor in a drama series. He is the first Black man ever to win the award #Emmys

For those just learning more about Turning Point USA and Kirk, here's a thread of some of the stuff I've covered over the years, mostly for @lcrw.bsky.social, which has also covered TPUSA over the years and the real (negative) impact they've had on various communities throughout the county. 🧵⤵️

If you see people having their windows smashed in, thrown on the pavement, and ripped away from their children and your thought is to ponder legality, I think you should reconsider what’s important in this moment.

No one is covering the threats to our democracy like the 20-person team at Democracy Docket. No venture capital, no corporate overloads, no compromises. Just pro-democracy news, information and analysis. Help support their efforts to hold power to account and keep you informed. hubs.ly/Q03jcjqP0

@blazinghell.bsky.social just checking that you’ve eaten? Drank water?🤗🫡

No matter how old and sick Donald Trump gets, he’ll still be in the Epstein files.

Rich guy steals free hat from kid. Look at his smile. Eating the rich is too good for them they don’t even deserve to be inside our bodies😤😤🤬🤬

Why Did Silicon Valley and Peter Thiel Groom JD Vance to Be the Vice President? I'm talking to the great @gilduran.com about the broligarchy's plan and end game. Worth hearing. LIVE. thelefthook.substack.com

Enjoy the day off (if you’re lucky enough to have one) but don’t forget: www.teenvogue.com/story/histor...

Keep the pressure on them! A thread of Border Patrol recruitment events in September: careers.cbp.gov/s/connect-to... -9/3 Laredo, TX (Job Fair) -9/5-7 Big Bear, CA (Tough Mudder) -9/5-7 Scottsdale, AZ (Rodeo) -9/6-7 Glen Jean, WV (Spartan Trifecta) -9/6 Philadelphia, PA (Spartan Stadion) 🧵⬇️

I appreciate @sarahkendzior.bsky.social’s plainspokenness about what’s really going on, on the Mark Thompson Show. youtu.be/7CaILdKZ7Yo?...

What a cursed sentence (gift link) “The A.I. companies selected to oversee the program would have a strong financial incentive to deny claims. Medicare plans to pay them a share of the savings generated from rejections.”

Every time you use ChatGPT or something like it, you’re helping to train an algorithm that is actually being developed to do things like this

Recently, in a legally questionable move, the DOJ has sent letters to multiple states requesting access to their voter registration lists. Now, the department is escalating its efforts by threatening legal action if states refuse.

People need to understand just how openly genocidal the rhetoric on the far right is getting towards transgender people. They're openly talking about eradicating us and forcefully mass institutionalizing all trans people. These are people with direct ties to the Trump administration.

And the concept of “building trust” with the masked fascists kidnapping people and violating basic laws left and right is an absurdity only the contemporary Democratic Party’s stable of brain-wormed consultants could conjure.

Today’s Executive Order creating a *nationwide* military “quick reaction force” and setting up an online portal to permit random fascist vigilantes to join soldiers is one of the scariest things I’ve seen in U.S. politics in my adult life. Why is it not getting more attention?

Anyway, fuck this guy. I wouldnt normally give them attention, but their page is still active and I want to warn my fellow creators <3

We are deeply concerned about the other accelerationist neo-Nazis in the NZ Defence Force and the lack of political will to remove them. We know of at least four Action Zealandia members who have served or are currently serving in the defence forces.

Yesterday, New Zealand Police revealed they didn't start investigating the espionage soldier until after March 15. Several anti-fascist researchers reported his online activity to the New Zealand Defence Force prior to the Christchurch massacre. 🧵 bsky.app/profile/marc...

MAGA call themselves Nationalist Christians or Nat-cs for short.

Bailey is clearly being brought on to push out Bongino and align the FBI with an even more overtly fascist view. We could be looking at FBI raids on abortion clinics under Comstock by year's end.

This is an absolute disaster. Bailey has been one of the most insanely fascist AG's out there going after abortion and gender affirming care providers along surf targeting progressive orgs like Media Matters. Things are going to get so much worse.

“The scariest words in the English language are ‘I’m from the private sector and I’m here to maximize efficiency.’”

I think fighting fascism involves not validating a lot of fascist framing about marginalized people and I think coalition building involves not pushing marginalized people out of the coalition. We have to stand against the narratives that say otherwise and hold leaders to that standard.
