Dam been writing a book about this and she just TikToked it in 90 seconds.

added alt-text bc this is my favorite 🤍🤍

Hey so I’ve had some folks reach out and say they’re “tired” of my political comics. So here is a fun little fall comic to get us back in the mood 🎃🍂✨

"But we are supposed to honor and respect a liar because… civility. Yet, when it comes to dead black bodies, there are no calls for reverence and dignity."

I shouldn't be shocked, but I'm still always brought up short to realize how many people think "civility" means "white people speaking in relatively calm voices" no matter what vile shit they say.

A quote I really enjoy from murderbot the books is where murderbot talks about misinformation and says Misinformation just sounds like lying and I don’t know why they have a separate word for it

I seriously don't know how to explain to people that it is not in fact a sign of maturity and democracy to peacefully debate whether certain groups of people should be allowed to exist

It does not have to be this way.

Hello. I wrote a nice long essay about AI and this very strange moment where we're constantly told we're living in the dawn of a strange new future but the only thing that's actually clear is that everyone feels pretty unmoored and uncertain. I hope you'll read it

Ursula Le Guin: “The shift from denial of injustice to recognition of injustice can’t be unmade.... Once you see the injustice, you can never again in good faith deny the oppression and defend the oppressor. What was loyalty is now betrayal. From now on, if you don’t resist, you collude.”

Recognition in the genocide.

“The children are always ours, every single one of them, all over the globe; and I am beginning to suspect that whoever is incapable of recognizing this may be incapable of morality.” The first part of this James Baldwin quote gets thrown around a lot, but it’s the second half that stick with me.

The world needs to be filled with less people who think: "Well, one day I might be a millionaire." And instead more people who think: "One day I might be a refugee."

This isn’t a heatwave. It’s a warning. The EU is gutting the Green Deal and ramping up military spending. Read our program for a just green transition. Join our movement to fight against climate inaction: gnde.diem25.org

i almost can’t read this it makes me so angry. delusional grifters with purity fetishes and eugenic worldviews have brought pain, suffering and death to children www.nytimes.com/2025/06/22/u...

The reading for Starmer's Cabinet today: "Blessed are the peacemakers ..."

Feeling so much safer now that 38 men have self-reported that the manosphere isn't dangerous *sarcasm*. Not all research is ethical or reliable, and there needs to be higher standards for research which potentially can impact vulnerable communities through shaping legislation

The likes of CNN and Foxnews paint the police as a noble force protecting us all. David Graeber explains what the police are really about.

Not true. I see you're a luxury watch dealer. I'm also interested in watches. Let me show you how free and easy migration has allowed you to earn a living. 🧵

“If there is need for a ‘study of the historic continuity of a single culture’, why can’t this be African? [...] Why can’t African literature be at the centre so that we can view other cultures in relationship to it?” - Ngũgĩ wa Thiong'o (1938-2025) 🕯

That is in fact what this administration has done.

they will stand there with their boot on your throat and the weight of a whole regime behind them, complaining that it's such a difficult time to be wearing boots.

Rubio publicly criticizing an ally for cracking down on right-wing extremism. And Germany hitting back. We are in a new world

Germany’s Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution has designated the Far Right AfD as an extremist threat. The party could now be disbanded (but won’t be). But expanded surveillance powers can now be used and civil servants may be barred from joining.

Go to where your suffering is aligned with your capacity to meet it. You don’t have to go to death row, or live in a monastery. You don’t have to sit with the unsheltered, if that’s not your work. Go to where you can care safely and deeply & broaden that capacity over time. Roshi Joan

“It's hypocrisy to call yourself a Christian and chase away a refugee or someone seeking help, someone who is hungry or thirsty, toss out someone who is in need of my help. If I say I am Christian, but do these things, I'm a hypocrite." -Pope Francis

Your periodic reminder that one way to think about privilege is: who's allowed to make mistakes?

Friends, many of us are finding it hard to feel hopeful. And that’s ok. When you can’t feel hope, do hope. Hope is getting out of bed. Hope is telling jokes, writing that paper, smiling at a stranger, permission to rest. Hope is a practice. What does hope in action look like for you? Goodnight 💚

Rights should never end where borders begin. 🚸⚖️ 💯 @unhcr.org #HumanRight

"There is a reason totalitarian states so often ban singing and dancing and it is the same reason those communal habits have died out in the US. Bringing them back is resistance...Reaching out and connecting with each other is resistance." #heathermarsh #bindingchaos www.patreon.com/posts/us-occ...

Quietly, Germany continues this bullshit: www.972mag.com/germany-depo...

Love this essay/manifesto by @anandwrites.bsky.social "Because having, and nurturing, in your life a sphere for joy and connection and community and love and food and music and human difference and living and letting live is everything they are not and is everything they are trying to take away."

I’m the Canadian who was detained by Ice for two weeks. It felt like I had been kidnapped

If we must be in the belly of the beast, let us be ulcers

"From Mexico to Greenland, Panama to Ukraine, the Trump administration is bullying allies to align with its vision of national primacy and ethnic supremacy." www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

My wife shared this today. She is the best. #poetry

"Autogenocide is genocide that a population is coerced to perform on itself. Sometimes, this is a media incited war, ... Sometimes this is death by misinformation, as occurred in the US during the Covid pandemic. Sometimes it is destruction of the environment. " -HM #3E #EndAutogenocide

I’m going to be angry for a very long time about how this time in history made it feel like being a good person was somehow political

Ending the night with this. *Get your hankies* A D-Day veteran called a gracious and humbled Zelenskyy a hero.

Cathleen Quirk

Feeling all of this. Especially with the latest Tate brother nonsense.

“Your worst enemy is not the person in opposition to you. It is the person occupying the spot you would be fighting from and doing nothing.” — Heather Marsh, Binding Chaos 

Die Linke are not in any way the left equivalent of AfD and it’s dishonest to make out like they are

Me watching the German election results like:
