EVERY president since the 80s has demanded Cuba return Assata Shakur to the US for trial. Trump offered to END the embargo if they returned her. The Cubans told every president for decades to eat shit and that she will always be welcome to live her life in peace on their land. Rest well, legend

"Who would have predicted this?" - Black women did. - Trans people did. - The *entire* disability community did. - The anarchists did. - Post-Evangelicals did. "Well why didn't I hear them." You did. But you disregarded us as "extremists" and "alarmists". And you are still calling us that.

He may play a CREEP but Mark Duplass is a stand-up guy, as Duplass Brothers Productions is teaming up with the Transgender Film Center to launch the Found Footage Fund for trans filmmakers.

Chotiner interviews Janeway

From "I support a two state solution" to "a Palestinian state on the pre June 1967 borders is antisemitic"

For years, medical professionals and transgender advocates have been saying the "Society for Evidence-based Gender Medicine" was not following the principles of evidenced-based medicine. Now the "godfather" of evidence-based medicine is leveraging the same claim against them. (1/)

Believe trans people when we tell you the 'science' behind the Cass Report is as solid as the 'science' behind paracetamol causing autism.

This is, I think, the best push alert and makes me wonder why this directness isn’t the norm.

🌱Dahlias have such an amazing range of colors and sizes. Many are surprises when they finally bloom- this gorgeous one for example. I will have to label my tubers better this year when I dig them up. #orangeSun

Gotta say I’m not a big fan of 2 Jim Crow 2 Furious

entire press has gotten bullied into treating charlie kirk as if he was one of the most important americans alive and not a modestly popular podcaster

🧵This is a serious use of force violation. The violent attack of this woman must be prosecuted by Chicago/Illinois for violation of state’s rights. I’m going to break this down. You see her blocking the ICE van. Agents violently push her to the ground. Then you see 1 guy target her & choke her.

Just a reminder that a staggering number of Black women have also lost their jobs due to capitulation to this administration. That deserves more outrage.

was arguing the other day with someone who was claiming there was a ceiling on plausible deniability for white nationalist dogwhistles. but it seems to me the more plausibly deniable the better, with no limit. they encode their hate in letters, numbers, memes, jokes, gestures.

Since many of us are cancelling streaming services, now might also be a good time to support writers and artists. Times are extremely tough for creatives, so why not buy a book, commission an art piece, sign up for a Patreon, tip your favorite creators. Everything helps.

clapton or, like, bad company

There’s no actual data to support this point! When this claim was first made people showed that those ads didn’t meaningfully move the needle! Harris is definitely familiar with those data! She’s promoting this fascist propaganda narrative because she wants to!

Luckily, Sinclair has a helpful database of all their stations, so you can see if they're operating in your area and respond accordingly. sbgi.net/tv-stations/

if hobby lobby's hatred of us isnt enough, remember the people that owned it funded ISIS back in the day by buying stolen artifacts off the black market.

Jimmy Fallon as the last late-night host standing is truly the kind of dire shit you hope the graphic novel memoirs don't leave out in 30 years

i guarantee you the avg white american thinks it was the right decision and not political at all... it's never going to pop.

normal country doing normal things

You can still buy all their work. Being a rude, abrasive loudmouth while trans is the only unforgivable sin to these people.

One thing I'll say about DC not only canceling Red Hood, but recalling the first issue and refunding stores for buying it, is that you can still get Neil Gaiman's work through them. They still work with Otto Schmidt. Eddie Berganza worked there for years AFTER the formation of a policy that no women

barely wrote any poetry all year, focusing on other things, but this month i have written like ten poems, including one last night i already submitted. when it comes it comes, i guess.

It's my birthday!!! Buy one of my spooky books!

This week Ben Shapiro went on Maher's show to claim "Every time a synagogue is attacked, its either a radical Muslim or left winger." He got no push back for this abject and dangerous lie. And rather than call out this lie, Klein and the NYT platform him as some model of "de-escalation." Pathetic.

climate change??

When Democrats and strategists say "stop talking about trans rights" they mean that they're okay with people suggesting shit like this without any push back. If that's the kind of person you want to vote for, you are my enemy.

coates has turned out to be one of a vanishingly small number of people who both have something to lose and are willing to put it on the line to say what are clearly truthful if dangerous things. im impressed

Ta-Nehasi Coates is doing a lot of things with this essay, but one of the most important is fearlessly using examples of anti-trans hate to describe Charlie Kirk's politics. The contrast between his choices and those of other writers for major legacy outlets is revealing.

under this language charlie kirk would not have been allowed to speak on clemson’s campus

[after looking at the news] well, it's time to go and do something relaxing like watch horror movies for the rest of my life

How the fuck y’all expect Charlie Kirk’s wife to continue his work when she don’t have a husband to submit to??

new futurama tmrw at least. im taking any win

Trump tortures. Use the word.

both Klein’s piece in the NYT and the Burgis/Day piece in Jacobin pretend they are about recognizing that each human life is a human life but actually what they are doing is validating the way some human lives are socially valued more highly than others The example they set is white supremacist
