‘Rise like Lions after slumber In unvanquishable number, Shake your chains to earth like dew Which in sleep had fallen on you – Ye are many – they are few.’

in the streets, on a riot line, at a demo, wherever. we’re all the same to them. they’re blue & you’re the enemy. i’m not too proud to admit that i didn’t really understand that until the first time a cop hit me, a little blonde white woman. i watched a lot of other white women learn that in 2020.

in the 60s, the klan killed white civil rights workers alongside their black comrades. when you join the struggle you lose your status in the system you’re fighting.

thinking a lot lately about our surprise when the victim of state violence is white, a citizen, a priest, a veteran, some category viewed as exempt from that violence. it’s time to understand you aren’t. no one is. whiteness isn’t the color of your skin it is a conditional privilege you can lose.

Starbucks has released a cute horsey mug but I am too full of solidarity to be tempted. That said, this week would be great for the workers to get the contract!!!!!!!

If a man takes you home and you see War and Peace on his bookshelf that’s a red flag girl. he’s likely to have been influenced by Tolstoy’s heterodox opinions on the historicity of the individual and the causes of the burning of Moscow in 1812. Run.

I love everything about this. Legit brilliant project guaranteed to make you new friends, let you try new things, and help small businesses

Ten-year veteran, huh? So assuming that they’re not rounding up by a LOT, that would mean this guy didn’t join up during Trump’s current term, nor was he hired during Trump’s first term. He’s been with ice since OBAMA was in office—almost seems like this agency has been rotten since its inception🤔🤨🧐

She’s always shooting her own dogs 😔

YA graphic novel rec: “Lunar New Year Love Story” by Gene Luen Yang and Leuyen Pham! this is SO cute and good!

RIP Loui’s, the greatest place for egg sandwiches in the whole damn world www.oceanstatemedia.org/food-drink/a...

Anybody got uhhhhhh library job in NY they want to throw me?

It’s called FASHION (shirt from extremely niche podcast for nerds)

Baby time LFG

shut the fucking government down

What do they do when they're not being filmed.

Minnesota should move to arrest the ICE officers or CBP agents involved and prosecute, just as Idaho prosecuted the FBI sniper at Ruby Ridge.

"He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures... For Quartering large bodies of armed troops among us: For protecting them, by a mock Trial, from punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of these States:"

Only like 5 people will have context for this but: Numberblocks “ends” in a really elegant way (the numbers all go to space, symbolizing pursuing higher mathematics)…

Jacob Frey: "To ICE -- get the fuck out of Minneapolis"

Frey: So, they are already trying to spin this as an action of self-defense. Having seen the video of myself, I want to tell everybody directly: That is bullshit.

really grim specter over everything rn

reconstructed Scythian looking a bit like a guy tending an impromptu bar at an outdoor cabaret punk event

(explaining this to my child in 20 years) a long time ago before it was integrated into our banking system to produce automated sexual content of people who overdraw their checking accounts we used to post jokes on twitter

Make your hot chocolate with milk (or alt milk), not water.

One of the dads laughed when this lady at the Girl Scouts meeting introduced herself as the Regional Cookie Manager, and she looked him right in the eye and said “oh, is that funny?” Anyway, he’s a pile of dust now. Fantastic.

I feel a strange need to repost this art. Sometimes art needs reposting y'know? Like this art. Did you know lionesses sometimes take out their males when the pride is under intense pressure? Apparently bees, ants, & termites do this too. #art Available as a print! www.inprnt.com/gallery/pala...

The destruction doesn't make for a photo-op like tearing down the East Wing of the White House or bulldozing the Rose Garden, but it's every bit as bad. Generations of American children learned to spell and count, learned the Preamble to the Constitution, from watching shows produced by the CPB.

Deleting all pictures of my child off of twitter bc Jesus Christ

I could probably watch Best In Show once a week for the rest of my life. Perfect movie

If you need a reason not to enlist, there's many.

this is your mission. our pedophile president needs you to jump out of a helicopter to kidnap a head of state and his wife so some oil ceos can make a lot of money. we’ll be watching from a resort in florida that still serves wedge salad and checking how many retweets we get. good luck soldier

On his first day in office, the Mayor of New York toured the crumbling apartment of one of his constituents. On his 348th day in office, the President of the United States shops for marble and onyx for a ballroom nobody wants.

Thinking about the work of Käthe Kollwitz, which seems especially resonant these days.

the reason people sometimes act madder at democrats than republicans when republicans do impossibly evil shit is the same reason why, if you hired an exterminator to handle a roach infestation and he showed up to feed and play with them instead, your first instinct wouldn’t be to yell at the roaches

"what if dubya was really and honestly winging it" was not a theoretical i wanted answered

One of my old colleagues at the coffee shop was considering joining the Navy to pay for college — her mother was a sovereign citizen so her ability to get federal aid was all fucked. Anyway, she got sexually harassed by other recruits so badly at the appointment to join up that she changed her mind

The neocons literally made the same argument about Iraq!

from someone who was in school for the beginning of the "war on terror," please. please please please. talk to teenagers in your life about not joining the us military. about not letting themselves be groomed by recruiters in schools. they're going to want soldiers, and they always start young.

My custom got 2nd place in her class!

road trip thru back country FL, read the new Olga Tokarczuk, ate a fucking incredible banana pudding cheesecake, bout to go soak in an old school hotel bathtub for an hour

Geena Davis accidentally walked into our break room when I worked at Disneyland (she apologized profusely)

just saw a video of a horse owner who FOUND HER HORSE’S TONGUE in the pasture (maybe because another horse was playing too rough and accidentally bit it off??)

Hi, I’m Florida’s draconian abortion restrictions
