“Our stories are not all the same, but the destination is: to get some place where we have some peace and harmony, and we can be at ease with ourselves and the people around us.”

From the River Jordan to the Salish Sea, from Wabanaki to West Papua, we must abolish the settler colonial state and its inhumane, unnatural border regime. We demand nothing less than a global federation of ecosocialist, egalitarian, interdependent indigenous and non-indigenous communities.

Indigenous liberation, like all liberation, is impossible without abolishing the police created to violently oppose it.

Portland and Olympia share this. Both act as refugia for queer and trans folks fleeing oppression regionally and nationally. Both are regular stops for violent Hate Tourism. They attack us out of panic about losing control over a family that patriarchs think is their property. We aren't going back.

The profiteers pushing to legalize exploitation and torture of our nonhuman comrades are same bastards who manipulated compassion toward whales to attack First Nations sovereignty. The owning class doesn't care about us or the living world we share. Assume bad faith from anyone who works for them.

Photos coming out of Western AK are devastating. Hardest hit are indigenous villages off road system, many miles by air from supplies. Most built on river deltas w/ no high ground to which to escape. Cuts to NASA/NOAA mean worse weather data. Cuts to EPA mean no grants for erosion control. Etc.

as ppl figured out *checks notes* 20 years ago, there are precisely three roads that lead to this facility, just an fyi

aaand we are officially in the hide-your-neighbors stage

This would single-handedly transform the lives of everyone I know in such profound ways it is difficult to fully articulate, but it would also let us actually make more and different and crazy things

One of the worst things that colonial culture did to global liberation was chain it to Christianity's martyrdom fetish. Nobody but your oppressor will benefit from you dying for their sins. Our future will be grown by those who live to plant its seeds in the compost of this world's owners and tools.

absolutely breathtaking levels of “reframe punching up as punching down” are emerging in AI discourse. fighting back against AI is us against billion dollar tech companies, yet they are pulling out so many wild rhetorical tricks to make it seem like the anti-AI movement are the powerful bullies here

Apparently this Nazi gathering was not approved at the school. They had the protest anyway, just on the sidewalks and the median in front of Tumwater Middle School. There were some Proud Boys there. The nazis were yelling at little girls, asking if they were really girls.

The anti-trans mob was surprisingly honest about hating Tumwater & Olympia - not just their governance but residents - while standing in front of Tumwater Middle School with folks in "Rhyan Smith for OSD" shirts. Also a lot of "Fuck your feelings" gear for guys concerned with cis girls' self-esteem.

not a single news org signed. that's what it takes. stand together. everywhere, every time.

The bravery on display here is inspiring. Nobody knew whether this broccoli-headed incel was concealed-carrying. Many of them are queer, colonized, children of immigrants; they all knew this will put them on lists. They stood together, as we must in all our communities, against these pallid cowards.

Gender liberation & climate justice infrastructure are mutually necessary. "if we care about climate, we’re going to have to find ways of getting America and the whole world past all forms of bigotry so that we can work together to face an existential threat to all of humanity and the natural world”

assata was the best of us. a revolutionary who was determined to be free by any means necessary. our north star forever and always. assata taught us that we will win our liberation and that the most important thing in the world for us is to struggle. rest in power assata shakur

“An independent analysis of 45 right-wing groups advocating against trans rights found that 80% have received donations from fossil fuel companies or billionaires.”

Hey Tacoma! Saturday Sept 27, 2025 1pm-3pm Join us to read messages to detainees and make some noise to let them know they are not forgotten. Northwest Detention Center 1623 E. J Street, Tacoma, WA Evergreen Resistance stands in solidarity with @laresistencianw.bsky.social for this event.

How to Start Your Own Rapid Response Group to Protect Immigrants In Your Neighborhood The only proven defense against armed masked agents in your neighborhoods is an organized community. After all, no one knows your neighborhood more than you. @eltragon.bsky.social

It's always shut the fuck up Friday. Never talk to cops or feds without a lawyer. Remember, they can lie to you, you cannot lie to them.

Obviously this demonstrates the deeply broken way we approach regulation in our society. We must build a world in which scientists & impacted communities are where policy *starts*, not who's left to clean up after it. Governance & public life needs separation from profit just as much as from church.

"The courtroom has become the place where evidence collides with power, where delay gives way to decision. If the public comes to believe that scientists are merely hired guns, then science loses its power in the courtroom and, by extension, in society."

Seeing a lot more str8 cis men here in queer political spaces, specifically as a refuge from the predator-prey dynamic that permeates heterosexuality. It's notably distinct from the No-Homo-frat-boys-going-to-gay-bars-to-pick-up-chicks phenomenon. The relief at being able to be a person is palpable.

"it’s a nightmare that has haunted all societies. People have always been aware of the internet: once, it was the loneliness lurking around the edge of the camp, the terrible possibility of a system of signs that doesn’t link people together, but wrenches them apart instead."

The Supreme Court is not a legitimate institution. When a court has corrupted itself, and flaunts its contempt for the law and the judicial system, it ceases to be a court. I don’t know exactly what to do about that, but I do think that as a country, we need to recognize that and act accordingly.

yeah, see, as suggested above, they need to be fucking afraid of the people they represent right now and you should call them and write them and tell them to not negotiate with the fascists who are trying to literally put their constituents in concentration camps and take their healthcare. reps.fyi

The tech industry hates consent. It's disobedience. It's built into the UIs. "Yes," or "ask me later." You can't describe "no" in your art, and they don'tet you click "no." A deregulated industry treating society as a casting couch. They ally with the religious right for a reason.

Soviet repatriation at American gunpoint aside... Do you really want to post, from the White House, about giving things back to the people who built them?

"They only want people to express speech that they specifically allow. There is no type of capitulation that will satisfy them except complete and utter submission, which is why solidarity is so important."

"If you’re on the sidelines you’ve made a choice and must live with it. Their goal is to instill fear, to make you feel helpless, hopeless, to break you down. Don’t let them. Educate yourself. Organize. Speak truth to authority. Because the story’s not written — the pen is in your hand."

For anyone who thinks the current assault on free speech is limited to people who criticize Charlie Kirk…

no, do not panic. *organize.* panicking is how you get people taking rash individual actions that just hurt themselves and their loved ones more than anything. organizing and building collective solidarity is how you fight in the long run. panicking does nothing. organizing is how we survive.

Disrupt the Going Gently Into That Good Night industry

You can have democracy or you can have capitalism but you can't have both. I simply ask the question what if democracy was you and the people around you making decisions together instead of billionaires funding the selection of a king? Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

All that said, the fact that the FBI now knows and uses the phrases "Trantifa" and "Tranarchist" is reason enough to just abolish the agency.

The legal case for labeliing trans people terrorists is obviously impossible to pursue or maintain, like the attempt at making a terrorist network out of the concept of antifascism. That no case would stick is not the point. This is about resource deprivation, privacy invasion, and no-fly lists.

CBS/CW: KOMO (Seattle) KEPR (Kennewick) KIMA (Kennewick) KLEW (Spokane) Univison: KUNS (Tacoma) KORX (Kennewick) KVVK Kennewick) KUNW (Kennewick) A general televised news cleanse is healthy; by its nature tv news elevates racist & classist scaremongering over issues that substantively affect us.

There. Is. No. Such. Thing. Cattle ranching is among the most destructive of all the world's industries. "Regenerative" cattle ranching is simply greenwash.

relevant life lesson from comics on this one

Many things are bad. Let go of worrying if you are doing something "cringe". Anyone ambitious and hard-working has been thought of as cringe. Making something new and interesting is often seen by others as cringe. Immigrating is a cringe-filled process. Focus that energy on what is important to you.

Online safety is more important than ever right now, and most people give away their location online unknowingly. I'm Eliza Orlins, a career public defender for 15 years in Manhattan. I spend a lot of time thinking about safety—both offline and online. Here are 10 ways to keep yourself safe 👇

"To change can mean anything. The question is, what is the end toward which you want to develop? What is the goal you’re trying to realize... Mere input and output and feedback, mere motion means nothing—the real problem is discussion and dialogue, recognition of personality, growth and development"

Just in case any of y'all thought they'd actually filibuster the appropriations bills coming with all the anti-trans provisions and shut the government down. Call your senators, demand no anti-trans and anti-LGBTQ+ provisions in appropriations bills.

Quoting because this is extremely important: This lack of respect or trust is a failure. A failure in upbringing, infrastructure, or social incentives. A failure we must manage together. By whatever means necessary, we must create the conditions that bring us into trust, respect, and partnership.

Discussion is cooperation in a short-term partnership. It requires trust and mutual respect *from both parties* in order to succeed. If someone doesn't respect your humanity and/or isn't trusted to be honest, discussion is not possible. Those who cannot be partnered with or avoided must be overcome.

This part. Everyone pretended it wouldn't impact them or that it didn't matter because sex work is gross, and now we're here. Exactly where advocates warned about.

US out of South Korea. Close the bases; abolish border control.

"Unrecognized territories are consistently tied to worse outcomes, reflecting heavier fire and deforestation where rights are weak. Ensuring Indigenous communities have strong rights over their lands is the best way to keep forests and their health benefits intact.”
