we are getting some goodddd political theater out of this administration like do y'all still remember when jasmine crocket said that marjorie taylor greene has a bleach blonde bad built butch body? during a house congressional oversight committee meeting?

I assume this happened to all of you.

I literally spent 10 min translating Lula’s speech about Palestine to English. I just need every single one of my gringo friends to listen to this man in order to maybe restore their faith in politics. This right here is a politician. This is why we voted for him. And personally, I’ll do it again.

Not "Fuck ICE" or "Death to ICE", you know something that makes sense, but "Anti ICE" lol. The FBI is really bad at this, but maybe it doesn't even matter anymore.

There is no 2-state solution. We tried that already, it failed when Israel illegally annexed the West Bank. Israel will never stop until they have invaded all of their neighbors to advance "greater Israel". The only solution is one Palestinian state from the river to the sea.

Recognizing Palestine is not enough. Palestinians are telling journalists like Owen Jones that it's purely a symbolic gesture to appease westerners. What our governments really need to do: boycott, divest, sanction, prosecute, cut diplomatic and military ties, and rescind recognition of Israel.

To be clear: this entire “we’ve got to run more pro-lifers” insanity is because literally a week ago polling showed that Democrats would prefer politicians like AOC and Mamdani over Jefferies and Schumer by, let me emphasize this, a 20 point fucking margin. www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

“’What we are seeing is a blunt and alarming escalation in an effort to chip away at and weaken #DACA—not in one fell swoop, but piece by piece in hopes that the American ppl aren’t paying attention,’ Aldana said Thursday in a Zoom call w/reporters.” www.borderreport.com/immigration/... #HomeIsHere

Someone asked me recently if I had any fiction to recommend that doesn't "reinforce the liberal capitalist worldview", and that really irked me. All I could say to them was that reading is collaborative. The reader brings just as much meaning to the text as the author does.

damn this pilot episode is phenomenal www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCAd...

The University Democrats at UT-Austin, a longstanding student group, has been told that no guests, candidates, or speakers can speak at their meetings unless the administration approves them. Submitted speakers' lists have been ignored or summarily denied. Please HMU if you know a good 1A attorney

ratioed on tumblr for telling them that nobody in real life says "transmysogyny exempt" or even knows what it means and it's a pretty weird way to play oppression olympics within the trans community "online IS real life, dumbass" damn, u got me!

reading communist literature aloud at the table so the server knows i'm a comrade

“This can’t be interpreted…as anything else but an attack directly on trans kids.” In my first byline for @teenvogue.com, I spoke with trans students, with Texas teachers, and those who support them about this troubling law that's singling out trans, enby and gender nonconforming young folks:

just saw a tiktok from a disney adult reading from On Tyranny and asking their followers to cancel their d+ and disney trips omg

People have been outside all day and night so far. Sending care & protection. Chicago forever.

Reminds me of how when the DSA won control of the state party in Nevada, the staff drained the party coffers and quit They were far more willing to hurt the party's chances of winning elections than to work with leftists

At Broadview ICE facility, federal agents hurl tear gas and pepper spray at protesters blocking vans www.chicagotribune.com/2025/09/19/t...

every "ancient tradition" was invented between 1848-1870 and every "modern perversion" is so ancient that it predates writing

Trey Reed deserved to grow old, to be with his family, & pursuing his dreams.   Instead, he was found hanging from a tree at Delta State University — a predominantly white institution in MS.   We'll never have true justice for Trey—that would mean he would still be with us—but there must be answers.

This is the name I want to see amplified right now: TREY REED

Justice for Trey Reed. ✊🏾🕊️

A Black man and a homeless man were found hanging from trees in Mississippi yesterday, for those who haven’t seen yet because it’s barely made it out of local news.

Trey Reed was murdered. Trey Reed deserved - was OWED - a full life. He was just a kid. Justice for Trey Reed.

"We're gonna keep showing up until they stop abducting our neighbors." ❤️❤️❤️

something to keep in mind with fascist oligarchs swooping in to buy ALL OF MEDIA for pennies on the dollar is that a lot of corporate consolidation was sold to consumers as "imagine if your best friends mickey mouse and tony stark could play games with you" and it always came at labors' expense

Timeline cleanse, featuring the majestic sea flap-flaps (aka mobula rays). They're a migratory animal, moving from one part of the ocean to another in large groups called "fevers". They migrate to follow upwellings that enrich for zooplankton food items & to visit their breeding grounds. (📷:OCR)

Remember that, for decades, Palestinians have been enduring the indignity of being labeled "t3rr0rists" just for who they are. But the Palestinians' faith, their community ties, and their connection to the land is unshakable. You have that resilience, too. We will get through everything together.

They picked trans folks because there are so few of us they think they can get away with it, and they are perfecting a playbook they will use to go after more groups of people until they've concentrated enough power to be unstoppable. It's entirely up to cis people to stop this. Please help us y'all

think of this next time you go to vote for a democrat. reach out to their campaign. ask them their stance on trans people, racial justice, immigration justice, mass incarceration. demand more.

The fascists have assessed that they have nothing to worry about from National Democratic elected politicians. In fact, if they were ever to retake nominal power, many of them will do what they can to destroy their own voters who insist on action against the fascists.

Welp: Texas A&M President Mark Welch just stepped down after pressure from Republicans over a video of a professor who taught about transgender people in a children's literature class

Here's one thing you can do: a disney+ subscription is around 16 dollars. Go on Patreon/Kofi, find your top 16 creators/youtubers with less than a million subscribers and give them each $1 a month. Changes lives, believe me

As you cancel streaming services, here is a casual reminder that only 16% of Americans read for pleasure anymore, and your local library has hundreds or thousands of books you haven't read. They would love to see you stop by and renew your library card.

NEW: I tracked three dozen teachers, professors and other school staff who've been forced from their job or stepped away due to their comments on Charlie Kirk and his killing Republican lawmakers are increasingly getting involved, pushing for firings www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

There's a very short, very straight line between, "I'm just worried about fairness in girls' sports" to this. And the next step after this is literal extermination.

“Under the plan being discussed, the FBI would treat transgender suspects as a subset of the Bureau’s new threat category, ‘Nihilistic Violent Extremists’ (NVEs).”

Trans comrades: they could not crush American Islam, Civil Rights, the American Indian Movement, and they will not crush you. You have countless allies and we are with you ready for anything. Their campaign of genocide will fail, and they will face justice in this life and the next for it.

Look I know this is about the fascist Republicans in power but nonetheless I really have to say how angry I remain at all the Democrats who just shrugged at that Day One executive order on “immutable biological reality”. Nothing good was ever going to come from a Day One unpersoning.

If the Dems were truly the "good guys" and cared for all people, this is a perfect opportunity for them to support the trans community and--what's that? Oh, never mind, the Dems have already been backtracking on their support of the community and think of them as a liability, costing them elections.

"Yet let me remind you: Bigotry against minority groups based on sexual orientation or gender Identity, such as the trans community, is a way fascism takes root.." robertreich.substack.com/p/whats-real...

Overcrowded cells. Unsanitary conditions. Limited access to food and water. These are the conditions that ICE has created at 26 Federal Plaza, which eleven elected officials sought to expose. Instead, they were arrested. They must be released right now — and inspectors let in.

many of our problems today are because people just don't smoke cigs like they used to
