There have literally been thousands of rightwing kidnappings, countless events of property destruction, armed menacing & a number of killings. No need for lone wolves or cells when you control the state.

Just looked up out of curiosity and turns out I was on Charlie Kirk’s Professor Watchlist. Am I supposed to mourn the person who spent the last six years trying to end my academic career? He wouldn’t mourn my death: he tried to accelerate my death! www.professorwatchlist.org/professor/st...

US TRANS FRIENDS: Drop your gofundmes, venmos, whatever ways of supporting you you have, in the replies. Then go make sure you have plans with loved ones to deal with the worst. I love you all. We will get thru it CIS PEOPLE: Go through the replies and donate money to someone. Then reskeet.

i learned this trick from a neapolitan tailor about 15 years ago. if you put cuffs into your trousers, ask your alterations tailor to put buttonholes into the seams and attach buttons. this way, you can unbutton your cuffs and brush out debris. IG chad_park_

Let's be clear what this image represents. Those skull masks were first popularized on the far right by a very specific Nazi terror movement that began on the pro-terror Ironmarch forums and entered mainstream news with the Atomwaffen Nazi terrorist murders. THAT is the reference here.

This is my favorite thing I've read in the past week. We typically discuss the job market as it relates to those searching to land a job. But even those *with* jobs feel unsettled and disillusioned, and are planning a raft for when our ship sinks

Look obviously it sucks, everything he does sucks, but Trump's dedication to 1987 Wedding Food is one of his only sincerely held beliefs. I am putting a bounty on a photo of the fucked up pasta primavera they're serving. You know there's shredded carrot in that thing.

Guardsmen have a choice to make: If you show up here, you'll have disgraced your uniform and tarnished your service, which you should no longer expect to be thanked for. To be sure, saying "I won't do that" isn't an easy or consequence-free choice. But it's one you'll be judged on.

How many more warning do American elites and masses need?

Fascism is an ideology of weakness and fear. It isn’t strong, it’s inherently fragile. Trump and company’s actions originate from their own pathetic, self-loathing projected onto the world. The cruelty, the oppression, the war making, is all a disguise jaredyatessexton.substack.com/p/the-weakes...

White Christian Taliban shit right here. Time to stop tiptoeing around it. These people are fanatics pursuing a Holy War. It’s a critical piece of the threat assessment that should inform our strategies. (Psst. They’re not just going to hand back power.)

ICE has just ramped up its presence in the BOSTON area. If you see something -- a raid, cars with masked agents, etc. -- call LUCE right away and record everything you can. Support your neighbors!

see, *this* is why you need writers who know how to throw an actual gutpunch. this is a good idea and, nothing at all against whoever wrote that headline, but you're not moving the needle with that one. you can do better. *we* can do better. hmu

All of these headlines are what I think the kids may still call "bangers." Hire Jana. They do not miss.

just spitballing here, but "ICE Agent's Family Quietly Relieved That He Won't Be Home For Dinner" "Local Girl Tries Not To Think About Where Mom Is Right Now" "ICE Agent Struggles With Masculinity In A Way That None Of Us Will Ever Forgive" "ICE Agent Praised As Hero After Taking His Own Life"

I will never apologize for a post

they think they can just erase trans joy and trans freedom. they can't. they can make things a lot harder and more painful. but that joy and that freedom is not theirs to take and it is incumbent on all good people to say so.

I think a lot of people continue to operate in, theorize and conduct analysis about a world that no longer exists.

The military takeover of Washington is not a “distraction” from Epstein. It’s a military takeover of Washington, which is an even bigger deal, and those of us who kill brain cells reporting on this stuff knows it’s been an explicit goal since before the election.

"is america's decline fundamentally a religious war" is actually a thinkpiece i would read

I don't post a lot of my own analysis here bc there are several stronger academic minds on my skyline. But also, it sure does seem like the Cool Zone™ is rapidly approaching. assuming at least one governor activates their national guard in response to this

Wikipedia used to be considered a really bad source in academia. Today, I actually think it does a lot better than certain publications that have embraced AI use.

people talk about gardening as a collaborative effort between the gardener and the plant. but what they don't mention is that they are both in an uneasy alliance, in competition with the earth, of whom they hope to consume as much as possible before their time runs out and they have to return to her

this is what the Muppets worship

At a moment when the problems our world is facing feel insurmountable, I found a lot of inspiration in this. My friend and reporter Allison Herrera sat down with recently freed Leonard Peltier, one of the longest-serving political prisoners in the U.S.

yall do not engage, argue with, put on blast, et al, dumbasses who can't wait to say "they voted for this!" about states struck by disaster. block them. block them the 2nd you see their garbage. take joy in knowing that you are limiting their toxic reach. they are dumbasses. they belong on twitter.

Protests should not only express dissent but also serve as credible threats of sustained action, such as strikes, boycotts, or other forms of collective withholding to compel systemic change. @olufemiotaiwo.bsky.social in conversation with @mskellymhayes.bsky.social

These injuries were not inflicted by ICE or federalized guardsmen or imaginary agitators. They were inflicted by LAPD and LASD, under the direction of a supposedly democratic mayor, against people who came out to protest peacefully against fascism and racist kidnappings of our neighbors.

Those who commit right-wing political violence are often fascinated with police and/or the military. Attracted to authoritarianism and "order", they'll often cosplay as cops or soldiers (think Rittenhouse). They seek out roles where they have power over others. A trait common with serial killers.
