Tina Peters should not be in a cage. Nobody deserves the hell she’s enduring, not even racist old white ladies. Her sentence was excessive, ineffective, and absurd, as is the partisan carcerality that prioritizes politics & profit over safety & human decency. Good luck Tina.

they’ve just handed Senator Mark Kelly the democratic presidential nomination and the presidency itself on a platter, if he wants it. congrats and what not, sir.

A decade ago, today. Back when i used to work in news media. This was right before i decided to stop covering the scammer in chief. I wish we had all stopped covering him. (I used to get all of my hoke premises from the stuff they made me cut. See next post to see how this became my closer

holiday is when? in 3 days? ok I guess it’s time to start looking at cross-country flights.

@patrickfenelon.bsky.social I’ve really appreciated learning from you for a really long time online. thank you.

Getting annoyed by people not reading and making assumptions. Let me log off and work.

liberals get on here and lament as real fake quotes/claims without an ounce of epistemological interrogation. in that way, [here] is very much akin to IRL in that the lack of intellectual curiosity, reflection, and judgment are profoundly disappointing. no wonder so many accept Dem lies so easily.

Israel has violated the U.S.-brokered Gaza ceasefire nearly 500 times in 44 days—killing 342 civilians, including children, women, and the elderly. That's more than 11 violations every single day. The genocide never stopped. Palestinians are still being killed.

tbh what seems demented is how yall keep sharing things that are fake and then when we explain to you it’s fake your response is inevtiably that it being fake doesn’t matter and that it could have been real and yet somehow you think you’re better/different than the fools on the far right

Two children have been killed every day in Gaza since the so-called ceasefire began. Why has this disappeared from the headlines? The genocide never ended — and our government is still complicit. End all arms sales to Israel, now.

Since February, according to my latest analysis, almost 600,000 Black women have been economically sidelined. The November 20, 2025, Jobs Report makes clear this isn’t a blip. It’s a structural crisis. That is not a recovery. It is a redistribution of opportunity.

20+ Democrats joined Republicans in undermining DC's public safety and Home Rule. This makes everyone less safe. A fight for DC autonomy is a fight for democracy. Shameful. wjla.com/news/local/h...

Periodic reminder that direct action is a fundamental form of protest. It is the original form of protest. To refuse to accept the status quo, to intervene in an effort to shift power from the oppressor to the oppressed is protest.

Today, the House will vote on whether or not to reinstate cash bail in D.C. – an outdated policy that hasn't been in effect there in 30+ years. Cash bail doesn't make communities safer. It throws them deeper into poverty:

5/ There are so many ppl who need support, even just in academia. Claudine Gay is not one of them. She dedicated her career in university administration to to trying to destroy dissent, abandon Black students, deport dissidents & crush a mvmt whose victims were overwhelmingly people of color.

3/ Gay was pushed out for other reasons. But she was no friend to Black students, Palestinian students or the cause of free speech. She was an overseer, through and through—so, trying to stop this retcon before it takes off. Gay acted with ZERO concern for Black students, faculty or liberation.

2/ Gay forced out as president after—among other things—trying to destroy Palestinian resistance on campus, refusing to help a Black student who was made homeless for his Palestine activism, and trying to crush the Palestinian student movement nationally. But she is still a prf, like Summers (rn)

1/ Seeing lots of posts saying Larry Summers was still at Harvard while a Black woman, Claudine Gay, was pushed out. Not true. Both Summers and Gay are still (as of rn) teaching at Harvard. I write about Gay in The Overseer Class because she was no friend of Palestine activists or Black students.

A fan from Spain's Basque Country was seen crying as she held up a jersey honoring Palestinian Olympic team coach Hani Al-Masdar and national team player Suleiman Al-Obaid, who were killed during the Israeli genocide in Gaza.

Everything they are doing to Palestine, all the horrors and atrocities they're committing, is SETTLER COLONIALISM. Palestine must be viewed through the lens of racist settler colonialism, racist settler colonial governments, and the empire who sponsors them.

Alice is the gold standard of what Twitter was when it was great - how you could just find these brilliant, remarkable people with the kind of voices that rarely get platformed or taken seriously, and hear about their lives in their own words without intruding on them or demanding emotional labor

A nice obituary for Alice, who was going to be recognized as one of The Post 50. I hate that we now have to live without this phenomenal woman. #GiftLink wapo.st/49WOdx1

Educators! 📢 History Colorado has removed Madalyn Drewno’s painting, "None of Us are Free Unless All of Us are Free" from its Big Dreams in Denver’s Little Saigon exhibition. The painting is critical of ICE and CO politicians; and depicts scenes of protest regarding Palestine, Sudan, and the Congo.

I see no path forward between what people are saying they want and the Democratic party as currently constituted. No path.

Please stop using language that suggests that people with criminal records are appropriate targets for this administration's violence. One in three adults has a criminal record. Stop playing sacrifice games with fascists. Stop surrendering entire categories of people in your own mind.

I have bad news for you about Democrats and policing *reform*

Our beloved Alice Wong has joined the ancestors. It was one of the great honors of my life to call Alice my friend, co-author & co-conspirator. She was a true genius, a force of nature the likes of which the world has never seen before. I love you, Alice, and am equal parts grateful and devastated

Jesus wept.

It’s been a pleasure working with Lex and everyone in the politics vertical at Teen Vogue. I’m heartbroken that my column, Disability Visibility, is gone. Teen Vogue was one of the few places that published disabled journalists regularly. I just spent the last 2 months working on my next column

As of this morning, Starbucks workers across the country are officially ON STRIKE. And we're prepared for this to become the biggest and longest ULP strike in Starbucks history. Say #NoContractNoCoffee with us: DON'T BUY STARBUCKS for the duration of our open-ended ULP strike! $SBUX

they won’t. they don’t offer anything beyond gestures because their corporate donors are fundamentally happy with the status quo. they fought tooth and nail to stop zohran and will do everything they can to cut him off at the knees while in power

Honestly you're all experiencing what women and POC experience all the fucking time which is watching how no one will actually make a white man accountable for his actions when his actions involve harming someone who is not also a white man. Isn't it frustrating?

Maam. What question could you possibly have now that you didn’t have before.

The value of reading history is you know that in 1860 there were abolitionists who were so demoralized that they thought chattel slavery would be permanent. 5 years later those still alive had lived to see its end.

14 year anniversary of that time I won NFG at jury trial, securing acquittal in 9 minutes, and the judge proceeded to criticize me on the record. for years I saw it as kinda funny. as I’ve matured, I see that old yt man made sure to publicly try and put me—a [then young] Black woman—in my place.

Just playing in people's faces.

"Is there a more feckless, spineless opposition party anywhere in the democratic world? Why do Democrats insist on repeatedly snatching defeat from the jaws of victory?" Me for Zeteo's First Draft this morning on the Democratic surrender in the Senate:

This is a good time to join the WFP @workingfamilies.org I'm a broken record and if they ain't going to learn they need to learn by us not cooperating with their party anymore and building a political force that is so big that can hold different tenants but still have values.

What did you think they would do to you after you told them genocide was okay? You watched them sponsor the terror and slaughter of the people of Gaza. You saw it livestreamed on your phone. You saw children carrying their siblings' body parts in bags. And you sent them donations and endorsed them.

MSNBC reported Schumer's office felt that the longer that shutdown went on, the more likely it was that people would start to blame the Dems. My kingdom for Democrats that don't govern out of fear. I've said it before and I'll say it again: The American people are far braver than their reps.

Like I said.👇🏽

how much more evidence do you need that these people are absolutely irredeemable

In the midst of all that we are facing, I want us to think about who we are being told to look to for understanding in this moment, who is being propped up as the voice of wisdom, and ask how right were they in predicting this, a year ago, 5, 8 years ago, and then ask why they are being centered now

This isn't the easiest time to be Jewish in America. But now—and for a long time—it's been significantly harder to be Muslim. Barring Jews from government was one of the Nazis' signature moves. Every American Jew has an obligation to speak out against the new Nazis trying to do the same to Muslims.

if you are the public defense investigator who just subpoenaed Sam Altman on stage know that i love you and think you are a wonder upon this earth.

I feel like people on Bluesky who have convinced themselves that the institutional Left in the United States is pro Trump and falling over backwards to credit Trump should have to reckon with the fact that the only Palestinian in Congress, and a DSA member, says (rightly) that the ceasefire is fake.

For @inthesetimes.com I argued that "New Yorkers will only win the campaign promises Mamdani ran on  if they keep the movement that elected him alive." I am so happy to see the 104,000 volunteers are not going home.... inthesetimes.com/article/zohr...
