ICE is out in full force today at Delaney Hall in tactical gear. They're threatening the hunger strikers with transfer and have already transferred one of the strike leaders. The community is out, too, refusing to let this happen.

the government already knows if you qualify from your tax return. this is useless red tape designed to kick people off the plan

I had, when I made this 3 years ago, intended to keep this for myself but I've got a bunch of quilts I've made in the meantime for myself, including one I just finished the other day that I don't think is good enough to sell. So probably to @romancingthevote.com with it! They like books, right? :D

Since today is a day about death and remembrance, my best life advice related to death: go to the funeral. You’re thinking that you don’t know the family well enough, you’re not that close, you’ll be in the way. You won’t. Go to the funeral.

this image makes me feel so much closer to death

DENVER: the first 200 people to find me this weekend at FAN EXPO Denver can have one of these snazzy bookmarks for free, courtesy of my calendar publisher Andrews McMeel. I’ll be at table P58 in the comics pro aisle around the outside of artist alley.

I promised Martin’s wife that I wouldn’t leave until I found him. After 18 straight hours on the ground, first at Delaney Hall and now at EDC, we finally got to see and speak with Martin.

Our work here isn't done. The fight continues. And we will never relent until all private detention centers are closed and ICE is abolished.

While it's great to see the pope take on AI, I continue to see my decision to leave Catholicism validated in the current actions of the United States Catholic Church. (And yeah, in theory it's all one church. In practice, US Catholicism has swung hard right relative to Catholicism as a whole.)

Your reminder that this starts Black American holiday season, as Memorial Day emerged from formerly enslaved people tending Union graves in South Carolina, Juneteenth is…Juneteenth, and July 4 became a Black holiday after the Civil War, while many white southerners rejected patriotism.

I did this last year. Dreamed that Pret sold a cookie called Hairy Man. He had a solid choc chest of hair and choc sprinkle body hair. Woke up, drew it, then baked it. Him.

George Floyd should still be alive.

The Catholic Church is the largest landowner in the world and has one of largest gold reserves. All of it plundered from genociding indigenous peoples and enslaving Africans in the Americas. This apology is for naught if it doesn’t come with REPARATIONS & the redistribution of this plundered wealth

someone on the internet once tried to argue that cats don't like attention while at that exact moment eggs was crawling into my hoodie, that i was currently wearing, to stick his head out the top and rub his face on mine. i think maybe cats just don't like you bro.

Paris is really good actually

Shiv and other Indians have made good points this weekend about the west’s lack of understanding of caste. Caste isn’t class. Ambedkar was a pivotal figure in Indian independence and in the push to shift the role of the “untouchables” in India. Worth a read.

(a new object is placed in my enclosure) damn new object just dropped (I glance disparagingly over at yesterday's object) lol y'all still thinking about this huh

As someone who takes meds for an autoimmune disease that limit my ability to fight off infections (side effects include increased risk of TB!), works in a high school (petri dish), and is still proudly on team NOVID, it makes me livid when people are like "oh yeah that thing that ended."

“Except for the slaves you’re fucking” - Thomas Jefferson

I very much wish people would do better. Train themselves to say "early in the pandemic" or give a specific timeframe or something else other than making it sound like it is over because when people talk like it's over, they're doing harm.

On the one-year anniversary of EMPIRE OF AI, I am so, so excited to announce The AI Resist List, a new project that documents examples of resistance to the AI empires around the world 😍 airesistlist.org

This is a complex issue, and rather than blame people communicating online for discussing treatment, physicians should ask themselves why they aren’t viewed as trustworthy sources for women and queer folks vis a vis periods. It takes people with endo on average 10 years for a diagnosis.

A big part of reckoning with health mis- and disinformation must be the attitudes which push people away from HCPs. Any discussion of perimenopause or periods or what is called women’s health is incomplete without identifying why we talk to each other about symptoms.

An incredible amount of work from countless people went into this happening here in Massachusetts. What a great win for workers! Congrats to all involved, but especially the drivers. www.bostonglobe.com/2026/05/25/b...

An absolute must read from our movement elder. Not a long article. In it you’ll see that the history of Black struggle in America has been antifascist for centuries, & why we as Black anarchists must of necessity build differently than what white people allege anarchism to be.

AI is a lack of consent machine. It’s why it was modeled and marketed first on safety and pushed by people ( including Bari Weiss wife) who ignored the racism and championed by people tired of empathy This is a SLAVERY machine period

Three of England’s worst harvests on record have happened in the past five years. How should farmers & government respond to deliver food security? Kate Moore reports.

She really did

If I’m not evolved enough to understand it, then why did they have to steal my writing to train it?

In the interest of being a good professor, if you want to read the pertinent sections of Magnifica Humanitas on slavery, the "apology" and the implications for AI, skip to sections 172-181 of the Encyclical.

"Today’s Supreme Court has thrown open the door for this, using the same logic as before—that efforts to ensure Black political representation illegally discriminate against white Americans."

"A century and a half ago, Southern state legislatures knew partisan gerrymandering could provide cover for racist gerrymandering.... White conservative politicians deeply understand this, though the court treats it as incidental."

Nor is it a very effective way to learn anything at all. It might be a way to learn that you have something to learn, if you're open to learning, but I don't notice the types of people who are open to learning are very often the types of people who seek and engage in vigorous disagreement.

The idea that there is something to be learned from arguing with ignorant dickheads must have been originated by an ignorant dickhead. We don't have to accept it. There's really nothing to be gained.

apropo of today's encyclical....

"The resolution spearheaded by Ghana received 123 votes in favour. Three countries voted against it—Argentina, Israel and the U.S.—and 52 abstained. Denied their basic humanity and even their own names, they were forced to endure generations of exploitation with effects that reverberate today…"

If you're white and you're not engaged in daily anti-racist learning and action, you're not a feminist, you're just looking to improve your own lot in life on the backs of Black women and women of color.

I know some of y'all are in your feelings pro and con about the encyclical but let me just say getting a Pope to admit the church was complicit and needs to be on the right side of an issue is huge for an institution responsible for a lot of really bad things.

In the US, it was the technological creation of the modern cotton gin that accelerated the Transatlantic slave trade — from 700k enslaved Black Americans in 1790 to 3.2 million in 1850. It upsets AI enthusiasts when I point to this history as offering a lesson for technology today.

This guy is doing a lot of worrying over other people's completely personal choice to mask so that other people and themselves are at reduced risk for illness. They're still traveling, they're still living their lives. And this guy gets to decide on vaccines for the rest of us. Great.

fund abortion. fund housing. fund teachers. fund long-term care. fund public health. fund public transit. fund mental health.

Reposting because a. Significant to the Papal encyclical today and B. My background is Catholic because of slavery.Yes,I have a lot of feelings about it. Not benign ones either. Gift Article. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/25/o...

Funniest thing they could do is use the tolls to build offshore windmills

I will have soo much more to say about this but putting an apology for the Catholic Church permitting slavery in the context of how AI is changing work is a bold yet theologically boss move

READ THIS THREAD!!!!

Today marks 6 years since the murder of George Floyd. During that time, more Americans have questioned the role and practices of police in society — and hoped for meaningful reform. So, what does the state of policing look like now, 6 years later? 🧵

Yet another reason to lend the strength of your arm to rent stabilization, tenant organizing, upzoning/density & other pathways to housing availability & housing justice. I've been moving more in this direction myself (climate migration & managed retreat were the spurs for me) & I'm learning a LOT

In the piece, we also have a link to the GoFundMe for Violet Kawaguchi of KOI. Another interviewee told me how Violet had been spending everything on helping homeless, poor trans people to the point of being at risk of losing housing herself. Find that here: www.gofundme.com/f/ongoing-he...
