the concept of due process becomes real muddled when the state can snatch you from being a legal observer, or from attending a music festival, or for providing mutual aid, charge you with terrorism, & leave you in legal limbo for 2 years. which is what’s happening to 61 people in the Cop City RICO!

BBC responds to complaint over its assertion biological sex ‘can’t be changed’

“Since the start of her tenure in 2018, the head of the Office of Inspector General (OIG), Lisa Judge, appears to have misused public funds by deducting money from her office’s general fund to pay to park her private vehicle in a City-owned parking space.”

One of the worst analyses of Sinners I’ve read—completely missing how the film explores Irish colonization, forced assimilation into Western whiteness, & the Irish vampires’ attempt at appropriation as trying to find lost cultural connection. Vampirism was a symbol for whiteness, not white people.

Today marks the 40th anniversary of the MOVE Bombing in Philadelphia. The United States has always hated Black Americans. ✊🏽🇺🇸

If you’re able to help someone setup a GFM or chuffed it would be very much appreciated and helpful and I can connect you with someone who can help you if necessary ( not much to it though apparently )

Maybe Bill Gates could take some of his billions and give it to these people! 🤷🏾‍♀️

Hasan Piker was detained by ICE and chose to talk to cops instead of shutting the fuck up. Do not be like Hasan Piker. Be way smarter. Never. Talk. To. Cops.

That's fine, I'll just build a dangerous cult following selling my unregulated lab grown meats around my community as miracle cures for all ailments & maladies for a few years until my political allies come into power and require we ALL eat of the lab grown meats fox59.com/indianapolit...

The fourth largest economy in the world has declared that homelessness is not allowed. You're a real asshole, Gavin Newsom

I don’t have a lot of capacity to deal with this but I just found out the sixth edition of the Disability Studies Reader is out. Four years ago a bunch of disability studies scholars, activists & artists protested our inclusion in this textbook. www.chronicle.com/article/why-...

Really incredible story unraveling in this thread, where Amazon and other sites have seemingly been able to sell an academic textbook that was withdrawn in 2021 and never actually printed or published, without the knowledge of the press, editors or contributors. Something has gone deeply wrong!

Reason n+1 that I refuse to participate in Routledge publications anymore, including their policy of requiring authors to allow AI training

“there comes a point when presence itself becomes an endorsement, when working within the system becomes indistinguishable from working for it.” “Exit (leaving) and voice (speaking up) need not be mutually exclusive strategies” Thank you, Dr. Nelson for your leadership, your Exit and your Voice.

Not going to mince words. This is disgusting and a disgrace, and needs to be called out loudly as such. Call your reps.

Good morning, frenz. And Ash's foot. On my face. Hitting me. Waking me up. But mostly frenz. Criminal photo tax.

40 years ago on this date, police dropped a bomb on a West Philadelphia neighborhood

Today's a great day to arrest a g*nocidal war criminal especially if they have an international arrest warrant against them.

“The purpose of education is so you can get a good job” No it’s not…. Nooooooo it’s not The purpose of education is so you won’t be a dumb ass

Today on @theflytrapmedia.com, this AMAZING piece from @freeblackgirl.bsky.social on the Black intimacy in Sinners and Coogler's work in general. It's also free to read!

Self-identifying as a centrist is perhaps the most cynical and amoral political identity you can have because you're just openly admitting your beliefs aren't really beliefs they're just strategic positions that only exist relative to others in the room you happen to be in

Drug pricing is such a horrible, vile, disgusting scam.

Something wrong with a family that spends Mother’s Day doing raw sewage PR with the guy who is alleged to have driven the mother of his children to suicide, and who is confirmed to have had the body of the mother of his children dug up and removed from the family funeral plot in secret in the night…

I don't think it's a coincidence that cops started acting extra out of hand once we let them wear military gear. Make them wear clown outfits for several years to restore humility to the job

“I could explain Hasan Piker’s politics to you, but that’s entirely irrelevant. The bold, all caps, underlined point is that a high profile, US-born American citizen was detained on Sunday by ICE for, it would seem, the crime of speech.”

#WorldMEDay #MillionsMissing25 #DisabilitySOS In a crash bc it was my birthday yesterday. I did not do very much extra. Brain soup. Mandatory nap. Need help walking. Will send my personal email and fundraiser later. This is #MECFS and #LongCovid Only science will save me. @meactnet.bsky.social

"Where do I get a lawyer?" - There are lots of lawyers like me who do pro bono and sliding scale work. This is why having legal support for your action is important - good organizers have lawyers lined up in advance! - Call your state bar and ask for a referral.

Trump stirs controversy by calling Afrikaners, a minority group descended from Dutch colonists, victims of a ‘genocide’

“What then, is the responsible course of action? For me, the answer now lies in refusal, the withdrawal of participation from systems that require dishonesty as the price of belonging. My resignation represents such a refusal, not a surrender of responsibility but an assertion of it.”

"For me, the answer now lies in refusal, the withdrawal of participation from systems that require dishonesty as the price of belonging." Today I am resigning from the National Science Board and the Library of Congress Scholars Council. I wrote about my decision in TIME. time.com/7285045/resi...

as someone who lives nextdoor to both supportive housing and public housing, i need people to understand that the best locations for both are going to be the central neighborhoods in a metropolitan area, where there is easy and reliable access to services and jobs.

The church said it's terminating a decades-long partnership with the federal government to help refugees arriving in the U.S., citing moral opposition to resettling white Afrikaners from South Africa.

Brooklyn Leonard was 14 weeks pregnant when her water broke, but her doctor wrote she could only intervene when there was “concern for maternal mortality.” It was only after visits to 3 Houston hospitals over 5 days that Leonard was able to get the care she needed. Read more: propub.li/3Zd4Vlu
