A big lesson of the civil rights movement was that everyone has their own activism and we support each other. If you're a radical activist, you can draw fire away from peaceful protestors. If you're a pacifist and you see radicals fucking shit up, no you didn't. You didn't see a damn thing.

In the literature, we call rallies like this "image events" because they help **focus media attention** on a major strain of ideological resistance that is big enough for lots of people to feel comfortable. They create IMAGES that FOCUS our ATTENTION and AFFECT to mobilize frequently.

Middle East analyst says US claim 'just boggles the mind' coming from a country that has abetted genocide in Gaza.

A reporter from the Australian is one of the group of signatories to the Pentagon's new press corps rules which prompted a universal walk-out from credible news outlets.

my break concludes in a couple days -- before i come back, have a quote that i want to share from Ursula K Le Guin's The Dispossessed. very lightly paraphrased. "If it is anarchy you want, if it is the future you seek, then I tell you that you must come to it with empty hands..." 🧵

Telling moment: I was walking back from the rally, but a couple miles from it, carrying nothing but my gigantic American flag. An eight year old on his bike sees me with it and yells "No Kings!!" with absolute conviction. My friends, they have lost the flag.

The crowd did not disperse, an instead started playing Tubthumping by Chumbawamba — I get knocked down, but I get up again.

Reporting from the NYC Labor Feeder March: Free Palestine is now treated the same as "Get Up, Get Down! New York City is a Union Town!" Its utterly non controversial

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1 Trickle-down economics was always a sham. Nothing has ever trickled down.

somewhere in portland, there's one person, or a small handful of people, who came up with the inflatable costume idea, and I feel like they deserve our immense respect for defining the obvious developing aesthetic of the contemporary battle against fascism

One last post (for the moment!): Why the costumes? Authoritarians grab power with fear. They can’t STAND mockery. It weakens their hold. That’s why.

Happy No Kings Day, America. It couldn't happen at a better time.

Finished this last night while working late on an art project and had to stop and be in my feelings for a minute when the scientists played recordings of a healthy coral reef to draw fish back to a bleached, abandoned coral reef and help it recover

Today, I became one of those people in all the news articles who turned up for their covid and flu jabs, as booked, as told to book, as told my eligibility was my the infernal NHS app, and was denied a covid jab. This is my face while I was waiting for staff to confer and confirm.

saw this clip of the NYC mayor debate and i had tears in my eyes, perhaps the most insane section of any debate ever

Someone who saw the evidence in that case and wanted to have dinner with Epstein is not anyone who should be allowed near children.

“When you have a disability people can’t see, you don’t get the same level of empathy,” Joy says. “It feels like the world has moved on.” Long Covid is setting back a generation of kids--likely against their federal rights Our @rollingstone.com investigation www.rollingstone.com/culture/cult...

The main point of announcing it on X is to bring over a boatload of chuds and Nazis to make things unpleasant over here.

If you aren't up on your MAGA chud blocklist, now is the time to subscribe (I'm doing kiddo bedtime and don't have time to pull together a meta-list right now but folks should feel free to drop them in my replies)

Also, they want to make content. And that means they are going to take the worst stuff people say in response to them (this being the internet, some of which might be quite bad) and splash it across the official comms organs of every major federal law enforcement agency. So take that into mind.

Ya know, I may have many issues with his doctor who writing but god does Russel T Davis seem like a good man and I’ll always support him for that. www.instagram.com/reel/DPcWK2z...

If sovereign data servers outside the reach of US law are the goal, why doesn’t the government just create a Crown corporation to build & run them? This unthinking fetish for public-private partnerships is yet another example of how this government remains beholden to 1980s-era economic ideologies.

They joined Bluesky because they can’t live without your attention. They don’t want to govern, they don’t even really want to “win” in a conventional sense, they just want to play online all day owning libs and it drives them crazy when they lose access to your one wild and precious life.

i imagine there’s about to be an influx of MAGA chuds spewing their bullshit but i really can’t stress enough that if we don’t give them oxygen, they’ll get bored and leave. block early and often.

Admiral Alvin Hosley’s resignation letter over the Venezuelan boat strikes: "I cannot, in good conscience, authorize or execute orders that risk innocent lives and compromise the principles I swore to uphold.”

please keep in mind that this place is *also* a filter / bubble and that a lot of the takes you see here are completely unmoored from the reality of how the American public consumes information and forms opinions /thanks for coming to my post

We are not fighting what we hate, we are fighting to save what we love

“In true Portland fashion, a group of knitters and crocheters gathered outside the Immigration and Customs Enforcement building in South Portland on Thursday to protest the best way they knew how – with yarn.”

An ICE agent, who is being arrested for drunk driving and nearly killing his little kids & others, tries to stop the arrest by racially profiling the officers arresting him. Amazing to watch the courtesy given to him as he is belligerent and uncooperative

They NEED attention and approval. They’ll take antagonism They’re strategy is to suck away air to commit their atrocities DO NOT HELP THEM FOR CHEAP DOPAMINE AND CONTENT they need people to be distracted by their loud noises for their silent kidnappings

Pritzker: "Stephen Miller is clearly ordering people to break the law. So he should know that yeah, it may be three years from now that he is held accountable, but I think it's important for them to know that whatever they do now, it's not like we're going to forget."
