Remember when his Sieg Heil was just a gesture of heartfelt joy?

There's a gofundme for Consweulo Davis, wife of Dr. Linda Davis who was killed by ICE last month in Savannah, GA. www.gofundme.com/f/in-memory-... Here's an article about Consweulo and Linda from a local publication:

Our neighbors who confronted ICE in Minnesota have taught us how grieving gives us the courage to continue our dissent.

we are losing so much talent, progress, and hope for no good reason www.vox.com/future-perfe...

This is absolutely bonkers and infuriating. Must-read reporting by ProPublica.

Really bad news…

“Social murder” is a term created by Friedrich Engels to describe the premature death of marginalized people due to political, social, or economic oppression. What is happening right now in America is the premeditated, calculated, & planned extermination of children who are trans. This is genocide.

This tshirt, posted & worn by an @hrc.org leader who "build[s] community, capability, and coalitions among those dedicated to... equality and justice-for ALL," shows clearly that the org continues to be clueless & willing to literally sacrifice Black & brown ppl to advance...what exactly? Donations?

“Now, Grammarly has finally addressed the backlash — but not by apologizing, and not by walking the feature back. For now, it will graciously give us the chance to opt-out of something we didn’t know it was doing to begin with.”

Our analysis, which shows that more women nearly bled to death during miscarriage after Texas banned abortion, adds to a growing body of reporting revealing that maternal outcomes have gotten worse under bans. (Published July 2025)

strongly noting this. IMO it's very likely ICE will come back in MN for a resurgence. its why organizing during 'down' periods is so important.

The FDA webpage had a stark warning: Some purported autism “cures” or treatments, including chlorine dioxide and raw camel milk, are dangerous and make misleading claims. Now, under RFK Jr.’s leadership, that advisory is gone.

"Forcibly displaced Lebanese are now gathering along the sea; they have nowhere to go; Israel has announced its intent to make conditions that render civilian life unsustainable. A second genocide. Now in Lebanon."(Philip Proudfoot on X) #Israel #Lebanon

I'm shocked (sarcasm) to see Paxton — who is running for election in a crowded primary...*checks notes*... tomorrow — release yet another attack on transgender kids & their healthcare providers. Anyway, donate to @transtexas.org to support their work to protect trans kids and fight these antics.

Spain has denied the use of its military bases to U.S. forces involved in the joint U.S.-Israel war on Iran, including for refueling, objecting to unprovoked attacks that Spanish officials say are a violation of international law.

As the laid off Middle East News Editor, I concur. Management eliminated the positions of every single staff correspondent and bureau chief in the Middle East.

MAKE AN EMERGENCY DONATION to Trans Continental Pipeline right now. They are a Colorado based org that helps trans people relocate there and they are overwhelmed with requests. CO borders KS, and TCP has the infrastructure to help get people out. GO DONATE. tcpipeline.org

The level of rage I have towards the New York Times that enabled this while blaming us for it is indescribable.

imagine being this oblivious

tomorrow: leaflets air-dropped over the Twin Cities inform residents that unless they evacuate to certain designated zones they and their families will be treated as enemy combatants by the most moral ICE in the world

Real talk: The beginning of the new year can feel less like a fresh start and more like pressure to disconnect from what you actually need. You know that feeling when you're so connected to your purpose, your work, your people, that everything just flows? That's the sweet spot.

What are the Democrats doing to call out the rapaciousness and the self-dealing hypocrisy of the Republican ruling caste in the wake of the Venezuelan coup? So far, as little as possible. https://bit.ly/49oU9gy

If you're going into Zohran's term thinking he's going to "give you what you want" and not thinking of this time as one in which it'll be easier to organize for what you want. . . I'm afraid you will find yourself very disappointed

FKA Church, one of LA's last DIY underground punk scenes which is currently housing several trans musicians, is in danger of being evicted if they don't raise another ~5k in the next day or so. Please donate or share this fundraiser if you can't! www.gofundme.com/f/6r2je-help...

You know what to do! chuffed.org/project/1133...

Donations and attention to Palestinians always drop off during the holidays, and we're approaching a really long one. Use the time w/your loved ones to educate them about the fictitious 'ceasefire,' ongoing settler colonial genocide, and life-saving nature of mutual aid. chuffed.org/project/1491...

New: Months before Bari Weiss pulled the 60 Minutes segment on CECOT, her outlet The Free Press was joking about the megaprison Trump has lawlessly deported people to. "The hottest campaign spot…the new Jeffrey Epstein jet…the place to see and be seen." @andrewperez.bsky.social @swin24.bsky.social

I don’t ever want to hear anyone say “the raids aren't as bad.” this is the last 2 days. lataco.com/daily-memo-d...

THE U.S. HAS KILLED MORE THAN 100 PEOPLE IN BOAT STRIKES. WE’RE TRACKING THEM ALL. The Intercept is keeping count of all publicly declared U.S. attacks on boats in the Caribbean Sea and Pacific Ocean. theintercept.com/2025/11/17/t...

makes sense that a politician who has been flirting with anti-LGBTQ+ positions all year would embrace Regan (who infamously ignored the AIDS crisis during the 1980s)

ah yes, all workers should have the right to hurl racial slurs at black customers

I was def NOT expecting to have not 1, but 2 pieces published within days of each other - the 2nd in the late fall iss of The Plentitudes, a quarterly int'l literary journal, & also written in @meganstielstra.bsky.social's Essay Collection in a Year course. www.theplentitudes.com/piece/five-f...

Salaita’s latest on thrusting “purist” to shut any dissent or criticism coming from the left is just [chef’s kiss]. stevesalaita.com/palestine-an...

She shouldn't have to keep doing this by herself. She is supposedly a member of a political party and every single one of her *colleagues* should be BLASTING the fascist in chief. ALL OF THEM. Where is the solidarity???

Officials prepare immigration operation in Minnesota that would focus on Somali immigrants, source tells AP, as Trump says he doesn't want Somalis in U.S.

Some 600 immigrant kids have been sent to federal custody by ICE this year. A 17-year-old was detained at a traffic stop because officers couldn’t make contact with his dad, who is deaf. Another kid ended up in a shelter after making a wrong turn.

⭕️ Israel kills again in Gaza, recycling the same excuse it used to defend killing kids over the weekend Israeli forces — which in the past week murdered 2 men in the West Bank after they had already surrendered (killings caught on video), & killed 2 children, ages 8 & 10, in Gaza while they...

Ringing in a new month with my first ever literary writing contest honorable mention! “Stay or Go” is published in Issue 52 of ScribesMICRO (just keep scrolling down). www.fairfieldscribes.com/issue-52.html

AI advocates have warned that if every author in the class action filed a claim, it would "financially ruin" the entire industry.

the way I am putting every single author I know in a headlock over the next few months.

I dare you to read @thellpsx.bsky.social and @pipagaopoetry.bsky.social on their sister crip for eSims for Gaza Alice Wong and not cry llps.substack.com/p/alice-wong...

✨ Chrysalis is transforming! @drbrianarao.bsky.social and I first launched Chrysalis a year ago to support queer and trans BIPOC professionals navigating their career crossroads. We were proud to co-create a supportive community that offered clarity, courage, and confidence.

Friends— here it is. Updated & expanded thanks to the space afforded to me in the @therumpus.net & the guidance of the brilliant @roxanegay.bsky.social’s edits. The win centers Muslims humanity — but what does that mean in a country that rejects that? therumpus.net/2025/11/05/z...

A very incomplete list of things we wouldn't have done if we waited for the normies to care: - abolish slavery - child labor laws - votes for women - social security - fdic - welfare - medicare - medicaid - desegregation - women's sports
