A short tribute I wrote to Rev. Jackson, via Sen. Sanders, on the occasion of his endorsement of the latter’s 2020 campaign

Say it to yourself: “I am somebody.” Say it to yourself: “Keep hope alive.”

You know what’s a huge threat to the legacy of white European Christian cultural preeminence? The … *checks notes* … Spanish language.

This is why UBI + a Job Guarantee is the way to go. Provide everyone some emergency/personal cash, and rebalance the scales of power in the job market, so anyone who wants one is guaranteed a livable wage doing something socially productive. If employers still want workers, make a better offer.

Gentiles, listen up: Casting your fanatic genocidal anti-Palestinian racism as a defense of Jews is what’s known as SCAPEGOATING JEWS, i.e. the very essence of antisemitic incitement.

She didn't accuse Jews as a people of committing genocide, though. She accused the government and the military of the state of Israel of doing so. People reporting it this way are trying to make a conflation that AOC herself was careful not to make.

By the way, the belief that Israel has committed genocide is a belief held by 4 in 10 American Jews - higher than the percentage of American Jews who identify as Zionists. (Sources: www.timesofisrael.com/poll-nearly-... www.jta.org/2026/02/05/u...)

Rank Naziism from a man who deserves no kinder a fate than Ribbentrop or Göring.

AEW Grand Slam chant heard loud and clear: "F*ck ICE, F*ck ICE, F*ck ICE, F*ck ICE, etc etc ..." 👉 This is in AUSTRALIA !!! The world is seeing ICE in the US and is utterly disgusted #AEWGrandSlam #ICEprotests

NUDE ELON MUSK: The invisible clothes I'm wearing are a product of xAthleisure, which will roll out self-dressing outfits within two years at the latest THE CREDULOUS PRESS: Fully Clothed Tesla Innovator Does It Again

The executive branch has shamelessly seized the powers of the legislature and blatantly flouted the rulings of the judiciary. We are living under a neo-Nazi dictatorship, and refusal to acknowledge as much is tantamount to collaboration.

This is blackout poetry to me

Feeling pretty well totally slang-mogged. Guess I’ve done a bit too much agemaxxing.

AOC/CVH 2028 right?

In 2008, during the last presidential election before the Citizens United decision, billionaires spent $16 million. During the 2024 election billionaires spent $2.6 billion.

Sorry, they REPEALED a SCIENTIFIC DETERMINATION??? How can that contention possibly conform to the @nytimes.com style guide?

Annnd there she goes, now that other people have done the real work and she thinks the crisis is over, running to the head of the parade

This, from @alexisgoldstein.bsky.social, is the leadership we need. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

The sad truth is that many orgs & leaders have been primed for years for this. They've been conditioned to think: 1. Jews are more uniquely in danger than others 2. Even if others are in danger, we must protect ourselves first 3. It's okay to work with fascists if they claim to be on your side

The far right ran a deliberate, well-publicized, and well-resourced campaign to get football fans to tune into a right wing rally instead of watching Bad Bunny’s performance. The result? Benito broke the record by attracting 135.4 million viewers. Welp!

The current regime took a week to abolish USAID, which is three times as old and was not in the news every day for brutalizing children

This is in part why I don't necessarily think the divide in the US is strictly between doctrinaire Zionism and anti-Zionism, though these can be useful self sorting mechanisms, but between those who simply think Israel *has the right* to rule over Palestinians and those who do not.

Former Washington Post journalists have launched a GoFundMe to help repatriate fired staff members who are effectively stranded in foreign countries. One of the richest men in the world fired them from the paper and didn’t even pay to ensure they got home. Abolish the billionaire class:

Here are some wonderful books for anyone wanting to dig into what happened *between* the periods that most often receive mainstream Black History Month discussion, the Civil War and Civil Rights Era. I hope people here will reply with their own suggestions.

Does he still defend his vote for the Laken Riley Act?

Recalling last month, when the self-appointed defender of empathy had this to say.

Just catching up. Seems like Thursday, Hillary Clinton spoke alongside Tucker Carlson at a real estate conference in Riyadh, describing the Saudi regime as “a very strong model for other parts of the world” and the next day she published an article in the Atlantic in defense of empathy?

Churches are allowed to host pro-Gestapo rallies and synagogues are allowed to host apartheid land sale expos, and you’re not allowed to demonstrate opposition, is where we seem to have landed for the moment.

Gotta just stand back and appreciate that the most hostile-to-free-speech administration in a century is charging a veteran journalist with interfering with First Amendment rights…

Apart from the one hundred thousand theater courses I took, standouts include History of Utopian Thought with Mark Danner and Slave Narratives with @matjohnson.bsky.social.

Israel kills at least 31 Palestinians, including several children, in relentless Gaza bombardment, one of the highest one-day tolls since the start of 'ceasefire' aje.news/8xzvds

Experts say it is highly unusual to refer to victims of fatal shootings as domestic terrorists, especially before an extensive investigation?????

Good

My operating assumption is that he tried to do a hasty coup in 2020 that failed, and so everything he does in his second term should be understood as laying the groundwork for a second coup to succeed.

nice argument, unfortunately I have already depicted myself as a squared-up Ilhan Omar and you as a collapsing sewer ogre

For any elected official who needs to hear this, I impart a lesson learned from the NFL: When the other team is tired and on the back foot, you don’t call a timeout so they can catch their breath. You grind their fucking face into the dirt until the final whistle blows and you’ve won the game.

It shouldn’t need saying that hosting the neo-Nazi parties of Europe at the Holocaust Memorial Day “combating antisemitism” conference in Israel is a surefire way to intensify antisemitism.

To avoid the possibility Holocaust remembrance might lead to empathy for migrants, Trump's antisemitism envoy claims Anne Frank "was in Amsterdam legally." In reality, Margot Frank received a summons to go to a labor camp on July 5, 1942. After ignoring this call, they were in Amsterdam illegally.

Does Schumer fold now that Bovino is kaput?
