Real free speech looks like violating intellectual property law or calling for the violent overthrow of the government, not "civility." Fascists have always been enemies of free speech, and antifascists working to stop them have always been the real free speech defenders. c4ss.org/content/50151

The silhouette says a lot with very little information, but that’s also what the stereotype does. — Kara Walker

#ResistanceRoots “Liberty is meaningless where the right to utter one’s thoughts and opinions has ceased to exist. That, of all rights, is the dread of tyrants. It is the right which they first of all strike down. They know its power.” — Frederick Douglass

Happy September 21st to those that celebrate!!! 😃 💃🏾🕺🏾

Great photos, Kelly!

Immediate blocks for anyone I see on here posting BE PEACEFUL while people are hit with tear gas and shot with rubber bullets.

“I don’t know where I am, where I’m going, or what my end is. I don’t know what I’m waiting for.” Ten months after a judge granted Kamel Maklad deportation relief for protection against torture in his home country of Syria, Maklad remains detained in Arizona, Stephanie Casanova reports.

Hakeem! Don't show up to the MLK memorials. Don't start talking about John Lewis' good trouble. And it doesn't matter how good the potato salad your mom made to bring is, you're not coming to the cookout. The rest of us are going to be not honoring Nazis.

If you're a white leftist who wants to be an organizer, the #1 way I know coalitions will fail is if you're snide to Black people online. Calling marginalized folks cowardly and stupid for trying to keep themselves safe while protesting? You don't have what it takes.

I think the problem with rallying around the most privileged when they've been targeted is that it never trickles down. they're touted as examples for "all of us" but it's not actually true.

I'm not asking people to stop talking about Kimmel or the coming repression tied to their latest martyr project—all of this is important. I am just saying, can we work in more discussion of our neighbors being hunted and protesters being gassed, beaten, and shot with pepper balls in Chicagoland?

An epic bitch-slap from this guy, U.S. District Judge Steve Merryday, to Donald Trump. I'll bet that hurt!

tl:dr - Judge just told Trump "I ain't reading all that shit, go try again." The order starts with the phrase "As every member of the bar of every federal court knows (or is presumed to know)..."

It’s so surreal to see what white people are willing to do when their favorite tv show gets cancelled. These folks are hopping mad.

“We are again confronting a massive attack on the very foundations of democratic education, and this time around the stakes feel even higher. In the 1950s, the targets were individual teachers—communists, progressives, liberals—and their left-wing unions. Now the target is the system itself.”

Bluesky doesn’t give a fuck about Black, Trans or Palestinians people. Who that sound like? We already know Meta ain’t shit. Give it up. We all sign in to bad places daily.

Once again Idk who needs to read this but Black Americans are still victims of the imperialistic American colony.

It's ironic that the people most responsible for getting us to this moment are now like "oh this is too far for me." very strange.

Students should learn about the history of political violence in this country, including efforts to target Black people Over 100 White residents hunted Mose Norman, a Black farmer, resulting in the “largest election-related massacre in the 20th century.” medium.com/afrosapiophi...

On this day in history the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 is signed into law, meant to reinforce the Fugitive Slave Act of 1793 and the Fugitive Slave Clause of the Constitution of 1789, since the Supreme Court in 1842 had ruled that states weren't required to aid in the hunting or recapture of slaves.

How many folks who "stand with Jimmy Kimmel" are also standing with Gretchen Felker-Martin, Karen Attiah, and/or other individuals who don't have his status? He'll be just fine, but either way, that Fox & Friends darling, Brian Kilmeade, can drop dead.

She's a suburban soccer mom. Her downtime is spent chasing ICE GOONS out of LA.

¿Dónde está Julia Chuñil?

Tonight at 8 PM ET / 5 PM ET we'll be live with @urorientalist.bsky.social, @norabf.bsky.social , Alex Aviña, Lara Sheehi and maybe more folks! We'll be looking to raise funds for Palestinians in Gaza through Lifeline4Gaza tonight. www.youtube.com/live/B4kInX_...

Imagine spending money on a democratic think tank so it can be to the right of Bill Kristol.

"Fuck ICE" Spotted in Chicago, Illinois

This news is heart-breaking. Jaguars like El Jefe, who looks a bit like this individual, will truly suffer, as will other wild animals, native plants, and people.

Every kidnapping is a life senselessly and violently disrupted at the hands of the state.

redneck racists: charlie kirk is our malcolm x! proper context: the *only* connection that kirk has with malcolm x is the "chickens coming home to roost" part...

dawg, if 15% of people feel comfortable enough telling a random pollster that you’re better off dead and 18% aren’t sure…
