“The tyrant lived only for himself and living for himself loves to weaken the people, and to make them weak.” — Sunday, 19 March 1944, Népszava (a social Democrat newspaper in Hungary) In their last publication before getting shut down by the Nazis, the Hungarian paper quoted Lajos Kossuth […]

Democrats keep failing because they’re designed to fail. The party agrees with Trump a whole lot more than they believe in democratic socialism that’s actually wildly popular with the public. Facing the reality of why Democrats fail us important for us to act without them […]

Never forget that what’s happening in Iran started with a young woman. 🧕🏽 Mahsa Amini, was 22 years old when she was murdered by the Iranian regime for wanting to be free. People in the West could take notes from the feminist-led resistance in Iran. 🇮🇷 #iran #resistance #politics #uspol #activism

Raise your hand if you’ve been called “brave” for being trans? 🙋🏽 It’s not the compliment that cis people think it is when it’s not accompanied by care and humanity. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DTVpgpjDlPr/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link #trans #transphobia #lgbtq #twospirit #queer

RE: https://flipboard.com/@jezebel/politics-dqj1mfc0z/-/a-IFNyYZmhQKOMdSi46vcXtw%3Aa%3A1938864371-%2F0 This is their South African Apartheid playbook. JD Vance cut his fascist teeth with gay South African white supremacist, Peter Thiel. They are the OG Nazis. South African resistance can be […]

The thing about fascist propaganda is that it’s meant to blow up the debate. Step 1: Trump & Noem make obvious lies 2. The media share truth & lies as both-sides 3. we’re no longer talking about the extrajudicial killing and a rogue government, but debating if it happened at all. The media may […]

At what point do we give up on business as usual? Asking for a friend…

If you are in mountain or pacific time zones in the U.S., you may want to take a cue from protesters in NJ, who are doing banner drops to catch rush hour commuters. Banner reads : ICE MURDERS WOMAN IN MN Would be great to see all across the country.

They try to erase history, but January 6th, 2021 will always be a day we remember. For me, I was isolated in the New Mexican mountains with my trusty steed (aka my corgi, Bear). I watched in shocked horror and awe as the literal walls of democracy were breached just mere hours after a Black man […]

Approaching the fifth anniversary of the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, the official plaque honoring the police who defended democracy that day is nowhere to be found. https://apnews.com/article/capitol-riot-jan-6-anniversary-police-plaque-f6fd39b437c339fa9ff477318a7d36e2

Friendly reminder that when the world feels too much, your friends will always help. 🌲🌲 Forrests and nature can be wonderful ways for us to deepen our activism. When the world feels extra bleak, go outside. https://spectra.video/w/be6UYRiGbmDRbnmaVshmWv #activism #nature #Trees #fascism

A broken clock is right twice a day! 🤷 Texas is now suing TV makers for the spyware in every #tv sold in the last decade. Oddly, Texas has been bullish about anti-monopoly lawsuits against #bigtech also going after Google It’s a bit late to the party since its been at least decade since when […]

#askfedi what screen readers are people using these days? With folks moving to more secure browsers, I feel like it’s time to find new ones for website accessibility audits. Curious how others are treating the browser upheaval & accessibility? I’m working on this for one of my #nonprofit […]

Today’s Emily Dickenson poem seems apt. May the crumbling be of institutions that do not serve people and planet. And May we remember that on the other side of decay is rebirth. 🕊️ #poetry #activism #newyear

It’s wild at the end of 2025 that we haven’t had a larger social awakening about #elites, #media, #BigTech & the ongoing #authoritarian power grab. But then I remember it’s all by design. #billionaires spend billions to shape our stories & world. I saw it […] [Original post on federate.social]

Merry #christmas to a certain brown Palestinian Jewish refugee family. May we build the world where all can be liberated from oppression. ✊🏽🎄

RE: https://social.mondoweiss.net/@mondoweiss/115780566502696623 Food has always been a tactic for control. When Europeans came to Turtle Island, they discovered a land rich with food they’d never seen before like corn, beans, avocado. One of the key tactics of colonial powers and then The […]

Perks of winter, staying inside all day. ☺️ I’ve been experimenting with more #vegan pastries, breads, snacks, & cozy dishes to begin catering in the new year. I got sick of the worsening vegan options in #sanfrancisco Today’s dish is a long time in the making! Cranberry & Rosemary loaf with […]

Amazing interview with #metoo founder, Tarana Burke about #epstein and gender-based violence. She speaks to the larger systems not just #trump that uphold the violence in our societies. And what success looks like for movements fighting old, stubborn systems of control. #activism This is the […]

“Jesse, it’s a monument. I’m building a monument to myself because no one else will.” Trump is constantly showing his wounds. He acts like a child because he was abused as a child. Hurt people hurt people. When you realize this, his actions are actually quite predictable. #MAGA #trump #whitehouse

Winter doesn’t mean your #activism cools down! ☃️🪧 The @roots of change podcast has tips for your grounded activism in the colder months. 🗳️ We can’t just #protest or #vote our way out of #fascism @taryntalley1 & I share what it’s like to be trans in this moment, the hate the trans community […]

If everyone received a truly equal share of the American pie, every person would receive approximately $471,465. That’s $942,930 per couple and $1.89 million for those with two kids. That would be a life-changing windfall for a large majority of Americans […]

“We have been promoting this story on social media for days,” Alfonsi added. “Our viewers are expecting it. When it fails to air without a credible explanation, the public will correctly identify this as corporate #censorship. We are trading 50 years of ‘gold standard’ reputation for a single […]

RE: https://mstdn.social/@TechCrunch/115747502782877626 This is an amazing example for why the public is complacent on Big Tech. This is their playbook. 👇🏼 Toss a few crumbs about privacy and kids. Get positive-ish news coverage. Tech press doesn’t ask questions. Tech keeps exploiting children […]

In 2020, my Nazi brother-in-law shared a link from a rightwing “newspaper” that said anti-racist groups were dropping flyers in wealthy neighborhoods about racists school policies. The language was weird. It was so off from anything any left-leaning messaging I’d ever seen. Pretty quickly, I […]

Obsessed with Kristen Stewart taking down Marlon Brando and the concept of male method acting 🤣 It’s so true. The patriarchal bravado hides a vulnerability that toxic masculinity hates. #film #movie #hollywood #feminism https://m.youtube.com/shorts/_h-iKKIqYek

Water is Political. Since colonization, the Southwest has been fighting about water. The politicians, states, and corporations fight it out for more water. And the people are the ones who get left behind. #uspol #ai #datacenters […]

Stop calling right wingers "radicals" or "radicalized". Radical means "going to the root", and if there's something right wing bigots are is shallow. An Anarchist is a radical in the sense that they trace the root of the problem to the State and the authority it enforces. A Communist is a […]
