What might not occur to you upon reading this headline is that, in other words, ICE is targeting gay men of color Every queer press org should be picking up this story

Only an administration intent on committing war crimes in the present and future would stoop to calling Wounded Knee a "battle" rather than what it truly was: a massacre of over 250 Lakotas, mainly women, children, and the elderly. 1/

Emergency ask. It is always so humbling and not in good way to constantly be in financial crisis, especially when I look at all the work that I do. We are at risk of losing our housing and need to come up with 3 months rent by the 1st, which is an impossible ask. ko-fi.com/johnniejae/g...

If white folks all aren’t having these conversations and emotionally processing what is happening that their people were and are so willing to sacrifice the country for authoritarian power, I would be really worried if I were you.

You cannot "bargain" with fascists. I think that everyone should refuse to do this and also to stop supporting people who do this.

Some of this stuff is easily remedied with Pop-Up community created "history of US chattel slavery" exhibitions in front of parks, museums, community centers etc... Folks can also just stand out front and hand out zines on the topic to people who are visiting these sites and spaces.

I wish I could say I was surprised or shocked but with the vitriol coming from the White House, folks need to be careful and vigilant. I said careful and vigilant, not silent. Do not cower in fear, rise in it with radical, revolutionary love.

The Trump regime doubles down on fascist whitewashing. Time for creative sabotage that restores these images and info to public view at these sites.

HONOR, RESPECT, AND PROTECT WORKERS ON LABOR DAY They feed us.

Every time you use ChatGPT or something like it, you’re helping to train an algorithm that is actually being developed to do things like this

Will spend the rest of my life considering how we were rushed into "going paperless" for the good of the environment only for the next generation of digital tools to become far worse for the environment.

Reminder: Donald Trump has voted by mail in multiple elections.  The vote-by-mail fraud rate is 0.00006%. This isn’t about election integrity, it is a way to disenfranchise millions of voters.

Trump’s targeting of mail in ballots will hit disabled people & seniors especially hard. Most incarcerated ppl who can voted also require access to mail in ballots which is already extremely limited. This is just blatant transparent voter suppression

Reading yet another graduate thesis and wishing yet again that other Asian Americanists would not let their graduate students get away with calling Japanese American incarceration "Japanese internment" in this day & age. 1) it lets the US completely off the hook.

This level of barbarity is unconscionable. Nobody should be comfortable with children and families starving to death. It is morally indefensible to allow the manufactured and man-made starvation to continue. The United States must stop funding and enabling this genocide.

My sister has one more day to try and avoid being evicted. They are at 25% of the goal needed to keep them housed while they get back on their feet. We trully appreciate the assistance! johnniejae.com/the-bacas-ar...

Weird. This doesn’t match what I’ve been told—that students are going to use it no matter what.

@skpawlicki.bsky.social Sorry my sister, please help my family who are suffering from hunger. Sham went to bed today crying from hunger. Please help me, share the campaign link with your friends. gofund.me/497b1bcb

I keep coming back to this. Partner had to listen to me rant at 3 am about this because there are so many better solutions, but the ugly truth is that the folks who care about the solution are not the people in power, not the people with the money and means to enact solutions.

@surj.bsky.social is asking antiracist white people to host mass meetings in their communities and they are providing guidance for people who are interested in doing so.

A former student wrote a great essay on family abolition for Nursing Clio! In an era of climate disasters, Marin makes some searing points about what care looks like, and who is supposed to *do* carework in the economy/society we're in. nursingclio.org/2025/06/11/f...

There is no ethical AI. The tech is based on stolen intellectual property, anti-solidarity between workers, labor exploitation, environmental injustice, climate destabilization, structural racism, and gender inequalities.

Over halfway to the goal! Thank you all so much. Been pretty quiet lately because I've been rendered pretty useless by the bullying and cruelty of my immune system and just being a little overwhelmed with life ko-fi.com/johnniejae/g...

Bernie still saving some bangers for Twitter

The US has a moral responsibility to fully fund USAID because 99.9% of the time, these countries are in dire need with unstable governments because of U.S. imperialism and colonization.

I'm grateful to Insurrect! for the opportunity to publish a piece about the Friend. It's good timing for the end of Pride Month - and perhaps even better timing for the start of "Wrath Month," as it reflects my thoughts about the Trump administration's censorship of queer and trans histories:

Our statement in response to the Supreme Court ruling in Mahmoud v Taylor. Image thread with alt text. 1/4

Really need to get to 100%. I have an opportunity to go home next week for a few days if I can get this funded, it will take care of some bills and getting new tires for our car. Really want to get home because today I almost lost my sister in a car accident. ko-fi.com/johnniejae/g...

Shameless plug: seems like a good time to re-up my latest @lithub essay “Mahmoud Khalil, Zohran Mamdani, and the Politics of Vulnerability” lithub.com/mahmoud-khal...

Absolutely incredible to watch Colbert be the 7,000th person to ask Zohran if Israel has a right to exist, without a question at to whether Gaza has a right to exist, something U.S. policy denies as it funds its annihilation.

Elon saying he’s going to reprogram his chatbot’s view of history is a perfect example of why these kinds of AI products aren’t the neutral “tools” people always defend them as. They’re little political projects reflecting the ideologies of their creators

Bodily autonomy is a human right. Transness isn't a disease that needs to be cured. We're a normal part of the spectrum that is the human condition. And we deserve to have the final say over our own bodies - not just because of the harm if we don't, but because they belong to us and not the state.

This news is awful. When I was 17, I saw a sticky note with the Trevor Project's number on a public bathroom's mirror. When I looked up the number and learned there was a crisis hotline for people who felt the way I felt, I cried with relief. At that moment, just feeling seen meant the world to me.

In light of today's SCOTUS ruling upholding Tennessee's ban on youth gender-affirming care, it would be amazing to see donations flood into OUTMemphis, the mid-south's longest-running LGBTQ+ org. OUTMemphis offers material and social support for trans kids and adults and has since 1989.

Especially if you're on the fence about it, protest today. Fascism is isolating and lonely. Its very goal is to make you feel like you're the only person unwilling to accept a cult of personality. On days like today you fully realize there are more of us than there are them. You will feel better.

A few days after Kristi Noem said that she wanted to liberate municipalities from dems who were elected to office...

The “largest landback deal in California history” was just completed, and it could be a model for the future.

Clergy and Laity United for Economic Justice is a group of interfaith leaders and community members that support local workers. They have created a bond fund for detained immigrants and their families in Los Angeles. secure.qgiv.com/for/2025immi...

Greta Thunberg and other human rights defenders have been kidnapped by Israel on international waters. The aid they were delivering to Gaza that includes baby formula & medical supplies has been stolen. The ship Madleen was attacked with drones & will be forced to port at Ashdod Port. #3E #FreeGaza

You know you can just not use AI, right? You can make a choice not to be part of this. Even if your job uses it, YOU don’t have to in your normal life. You don’t have to let your kids use it. You didn’t have it three years ago. You can just…be on Team Human. You can choose.
