Our next event, on July 11:

i don't know if i've ever felt more hopeless than watching an elderly black man get dragged out of the room for calling out fascism while dozens of white people sat silently with their lollipop signs and watched and did nothing

Diversity in ways to overthrow the system, Equity in opportunities for everyone to overthrow it, Inclusion of everyone in the dismantling, and Access to liberation for all.

If you are a cis person *please* take 2 minutes to do this. Trans people with non-updated gender markers, historical gender marker changes, and X markers are terrified to travel right now; rolling back this policy would mean a lot.

Major news! A court in Montana has just declared SB458, a bill that "defines sex" in a way that ends the legal recognition of transgender people in Montana, as facially unconstitutional. This is the first time a bill defining sex has been ruled on! Huge win for trans people in MT!

If you can spare it, please consider sending $5 to this community kitchen in Althawra district of Omdurman, Sudan. They've been struggling to stay open, and families rely on the kitchen for survival. t.co/9b8yoverio #KeepEyesOnSudan

more and more these days, I find myself thinking that you can accept the discipline of your political goals or you can accept the discipline of your resentments.

Next event: Becoming Otherwise ft. Foluke Taylor and Robert Downes. Register here: linktr.ee/liberatement...

Hello, I am Jamal from Gaza. We have reached 89% of the goal in the donation campaign to rebuild my family’s life with your tremendous efforts. Can we today reach 90% on Valentine’s Day ♥️ gofund.me/a625d5ba

History buffs will know that every authoritarian leader eventually converges on some version of: "I *am* the state. I can not break the law, I am the law, the law is instantiated in me." Our march to authoritarianism so far has been excruciatingly by-the-book. Hitting every beat. No surprises.

People who voted Trump who are feeling pissed off right now about broken promises are an organizing opportunity, not a gloating opportunity

Israeli settler paramilitaries have stepped up their assaults on Palestinian civilians. "...around 55 settlers stormed the village, attacking residents with clubs and rifle butts while also firing tear gas, leading to numerous injuries."

From a federal court decision blocking Trump's anti-trans healthcare order: "The Court cannot fathom discrimination more direct than the plain pronouncement of a policy resting on the premise that the group to which the policy is directed does not exist."

In 3 days, the number of measles cases in a highly unvaccinated area of Texas has doubled. There are now 48 cases, all of whom are unvaccinated, and 13 of whom have been hospitalized so far, for a hospitalization rate of 27%. This is huge figure in epidemiology. This outbreak will keep spreading.

What will help your political movement more A) saying fuck around and find out and making fun of poor people B) working with mutual aid orgs to deliver food and do ideological work at the same time, educating them and providing them resources at the same time Difficult to say!

the CFPB that Musk wants to shut down has won $21 billion for Americans from predatory financial institutions and big banks quick, does anyone know if $21 billion is more than $711 million

it’s insane that rightwingers have created a social and legal ecosystem where if any murder becomes a political issue, the right will ensure they get off free and then immediately pipeline them to the upper echelons of their society, rewarding them as the pawns they are

"This moment calls for a broad coalition that knits together an anti-billionaire revolt from below." — @lfelizleon.bsky.social

Musk's company has been awarded a $400 million government contract for "armored Tesla." This is what the tech oligarchy looks like. www.dropsitenews.com/p/elon-musk-...

I am so heartbroken. I got to know Elisa two years ago when she came to me with hundreds of emails of anti-trans legislators scheming around restricting trans rights. I helped get her story told by the New York Times and Washington Post. She deserved so much better. RIP.

An unelected South African has taken control of the US Treasury and is deciding to stop payments on American obligations, in violation of numerous court orders, and admits in the Oval Office that he has done so upon incorrect information, while the President sits impotently behind the Resolute Desk.

Sending this to #TherapistSky - is your professional org lobbying against and joining suits against these terrible "parents' rights" laws? Have you asked them to? We have responsibilities to our clients' confidentiality and well-being, even with kids!

Discworld QOTD, from Going Postal

Bernie Sanders: "They will use the enormous media operations they own to deflect attention away from the impact of their policies while they entertain us to death."

wild that the world’s strongest nuclear power is just going to intellectually castrate itself over the next decade through botched education and AI dependency “all points into strength” energy

The Gaza Ceasefire Is Being Sabotaged By Israel, By Trump, And By The Media www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/the-gaza-c...

A virus does not differentiate between parents who are anti-vaxxers and parents who just didn't get around to it. Make an appointment, it's still flu season.

If an Israeli - or British or American etc - woman who was eight months pregnant was shot dead by any other military, the whole world would know her name. Her name was Sondos Jamal Muhammad Shalabi. She was 23.

In addition to the good news THIS IS A SIGN THAT PRESSURE WORKS Don’t give in to fascists when you still have the option of resisting 🧪

In light of this deeply illegal activity at NSF and the ongoing attack on American science, I'm posting the slides from my 2017 talk at the American Physical Society about the Nazi take over of German physics/why German is no longer science's lingua franca 🧪 🧵 1/26 drive.google.com/file/d/1_MCm...

if you're wondering what domestically championing "violence is never okay" looks like when the rubber meets the road it's a companion to fascism

Update: thanks to so many generous souls, we are now just $60 away from the goal! If you can help, please please do 😭 #mutualaid #KeepEyesOnSudan

this thursday!

The idea that there should be a public debate about the appropriate medical care for a minuscule population of children remains one of the most absurd lies that these liberal transphobes, NYT edit board included, tell themselves. No there shouldn’t! It’s not an appropriate matter for public debate!

The Silicon Valley billionaires & techno-feudal lords who are waging a capitalists' coup right now are rebelling against the people & the "free market" for rejecting them & the tech they need us to become dependent on. They're taking over the government to ensure we have no more choice in the matter

Keep making your voice heard!

Under fascism, no one is safe. Universities stayed quiet as the admin targeted DEI & foreign aid, censored research, etc. Now, they face devastating cuts to indirect cost rates, threatening research & operations. Silence won’t protect institutions. It won’t protect people; it never does.
