the shooter was an online gamer. it's important for newsrooms to understand video games more than ever. that's where i step in. so umamusume: pretty derby (ウマ娘 プリティーダービー) is a gacha horse racing simulator based on real life japanese race horses. in the world of umamusume, anime girls replace horses,

And from the dog-brained clout chasers insinuating it was the Mossad who killed the far-right Zionist activist. Shocking that Nazis were spreading the exact same lie. Probably means nothing!

cheering and celebrating after assassinations is by no means new. what has changed is that social media gives us greater access to a greater number of people a few accounts from immediately after the kennedy assassination

Interesting to note that many, many of the reporters and anchors and influences holding up India's Hindu supremacist regime were once the Indian equivalent of liberals, and they all happily sold out to preach hatred once the BJP/RSS cemented their power. We're now 11 years into the regime.

I have no idea what white people are talking about right now. The warnings that the fascists will "use this" to do more violence. WHAT WON'T THEY USE? You've watched them deploy the US military on US soil using bullshit pretexts. What even are you talking about?

Oh yes, everyone is very concerned about marginalized groups... #gtfoh

Imagine if everyone who shared posts about the genocide also put in the time and effort to boycott companies that participate in it; imagine how different our world would look.

did a breakdown

I have a new story coming up! 😍

Happy Labour Day! Little thread on how organizing and mobilizing have become part of my life, somewhat late in life. 1/

Literally why not both gif

Tired: Progressive except Palestine Wired: Progressive except Palestine and trans people Inspired: Progressive except progressivism

Aaaaaaaaaaa this is a dream come true I genuinely started reading short fiction with BCS and now my story is in it!!!!

My debut short story, "When the Oracle Speaks", got a reprint in @escapepod.org! It's about fate, war, and what it takes to try to change the world. This piece got published in @metaphorosis.com a lifetime ago in 2023. Thanks everyone for putting my work out there. escapepod.org/2025/08/07/e...

I wrote a chapbook! If you see me at Seattle WorldCon, ask me for a copy. Happy to share!

Between a "No Other Land" crew mate filming himself being killed by a settler, to a journalist being killed by airstrikes he was covering minutes earlier, I'm not sure how much more televised Israel's genocide can be

Barely an hour ago, Palestinian journalist Anas Al-Sharif warned us all: “If this madness doesn’t end, Gaza will be reduced to ruins, its people’s voices silenced, their faces erased — and history will remember you as silent witnesses to a genocide you chose not to stop.” Israel just killed him.

Israeli army spokesperson Avichai Adraee recently re-shared a video falsely accusing al-Sharif of being a member of Hamas’s military wing. They continue to murder journalists for telling the truth.

Assassination of the entire Al Jazeera crew in Gaza City, including its correspondents and cameramen: **Correspondent:** Anas Al-Sharif **Correspondent:** Mohammed Qareqea **Cameraman:** Ibrahim Zaher **Cameraman:** Moamen Aliwa **Crew Driver:** Mohammed Nofal

The best time to boycott Microsoft was when BDS called for it, the next best time is now

The Revolutionary Council of the Ithaca Irrealist Liberation Front condemns the Seattle Worldcon‘s alliance with the plagiarist pollution machine and calls on all artists to engage in acts of resistance against the techno-fascist death cult.

Read this headline. I am once again asking for you to unsubscribe from this genocidal newspaper.

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

The Trump admin has just detained Mohsen Mahdawi, who: –has green card –was Columbia Buddhist club president –saw his best friend shot & killed by Israeli soldier –said "we are against antisemitism because antisemitism is a form of injustice, and injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere"

Vitally important for every single writer in the US to understand, especially those who consider themselves progressive or anti-imperialist.

Ex-Biden State Department official says even the Israeli military expected the US to only let them bomb Gaza for weeks, rather than unconditionally for a year and a half:

Unsubscribe from this Radio Rwanda ass, transphobia-laundering newspaper? Way ahead of you, Google.

This is a fun kind of liberal attitude towards history, that being honest about the atrocities of the past absolves you of responsibility for committing those same atrocities in the present. Like, duh, all that "wretched truth" is in the past. 20 trillion more dollars to Israel.

Since Israel resumed its terror bombing of Gaza on March 18, every day we see images of small children with their heads or limbs blown off by U.S. weapons. Doctors having to cut holiday clothes off of children in a desperate attempt to save them. Amputations without anesthesia.

Did any senator speak for 24 hours straight about the genocide or were they all like Booker too busy supporting it

Israel executed 15 paramedics because they know they can. Because they know no rules apply to them and the U.S. will fund and back their genocide through every barbaric, indisputable atrocity, because that has been the case for decades

I remember how, one of the very first instances of our indoctrination into the glories of US First Amendment law was the “vagueness doctrine” - that US courts would come down hard on attempts to restrict or penalise speech through vaguely worded laws. (1/n)

and then "Perfect Victims" in the first chapter: > To illustrate: favoring Jewish and Israeli sources... over Palestinian sources, not based on the content of their contributions but on an identitarian basis, a choice rooted in the... notion that the former are somehow more credible, more reliable.

Trans people: please use our correct pronouns and don't call us freaks The Trump administration: if you publicly oppose genocide our secret police will disappear you and send you to a torture gulag in El Salvador Centrists: these two things are the same

We have had nearly two decades of panic about Free Speech on Campus and not a single case, not even the ones they made up, were as bad as what's happening now

"<X large percent> of Jewish people are Zionists (implying that it's antisemitic to be antizionist)" okay?? Zionism, an ethnonationalist ideology, isn't unique. Hindutva has a lot of support along Indian people, but it's pretty easy to distinguish opposition to Hindutva vs. anti-Indian racism

Saw a post in the discourse that said, summarized, "Palestinians can say what they want, but non-Jews don't get to use 'Zionist' as a pejorative." What an amusing evolution of the "permission to narrate." Now Palestinians can say what they want, but nobody else has permission to listen.

The tactics ICE is using--thugs in plain clothes kidnapping people simply for their political views--these tactics were developed by the US and spread across the world to hunt down Leftists from Latin America to Indonesia. They've also been used locally for decades to terrorize Black communities.

I hope October-December 2023 doesn't get memoryholed. People busted out the most folksy, tender-hearted, social justice-sounding language to silence criticism of Israel and smear it as antisemitic. Incredibly shameless and disorienting, honestly.
