1/ You’ve probably seen the memes. A Shiba Inu in a military helmet. A Russian diplomat getting roasted. But u might not know full story. This is NAFO & this thread isn’t just about who they are, It’s about what we can learn from the Shiba Inu dogs of democracy #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue

Good thing we banned gender affirming care...

Every single person should be made to watch this. Remember when we cared for each other and it seemed like life was changing for the better, despite covid... watch this and find out what happened.

Intersectional, multi-front coalitions mean trusting that even if other the people in the coalition aren't working on Your Segment of the problems, they're still on your side. In fact, they kind of require it. And that goes for friendships and other more intimate interpersonal relationships, too. …

And in an unexpected twist, it turns out the most punk rock things of all are supporting public broadcasting and patronizing your local library and not cheating on your homework with AI

I don't think anyone should be allowed to report on this without mentioning that this happened within weeks of him going to meet with the far right parties of Germany and Italy specifically and giving a speech about how they should be proud of their national heritage.

I feel like part of the current anemia in our counterculture stems from disconnection from the cultural and artistic history of our avant garde. Not saying Gabriel was the end all be all, but bro was writing elegy ballads for Stephen Biko.

The olds are alright

1/2 TikTok is a political weapon. The far-right is using memes, AI avatars & coordinated disinfo to radicalize Gen Z—15 seconds at a time. Our video breaks down how they’re winning algorithm war—& how we fight back 📺 www.youtube.com/watch?v=DB1E... #Voices4Victory #DemVoice1 #USDemocracy #ProudBlue

Even *if* you accept Stephen Miller’s (textually, historically, and morally indefensible) claim that undocumented immigrants are not entitled to due process, you’d *still* need due process to ensure that the individuals at issue are, in fact, undocumented. His argument fails even on its own terms.

Happy May Day everyone. Here is a drawing I did of August Spies, one of the haymarket martyrs, addressing the court after being sentenced to die.

NPR did a 30-minute interview with Steve Bannon in his podcast studio that aired just yesterday. PBS had on Chris Rufo tonight. Cozying up to these fucks won’t save you.

Reminder: You can remain focused. You are tough enough to handle challenges. Your determination is great. You got this. I'm proud of you

May Day 🛠️

I think of this whenever I hear some of the reductive current discourses about movement-building etc...

my reaction to this is not "oh Trump's losing it" it's "the entire point of fascism is that the leader declares reality and everyone else has to follow it".

Jenny Cohn is an extremely dependable researcher and presents FACTS, not opinions. I followed her on Twitter, and follow her here. Listen to her-she has done the work!!

We need a GENERAL STRIKE!!

I think one of the major dividing lines right now is between people who have never experienced the realization that their narrative frame is fucked up and people who have had that realization.

They’re detaining US citizens, arresting judges, and subpoenaing journalists because they want to scare us into silence about their authoritarian agenda. It’s not going to happen. Let’s show them what we’re made of.

Without downloading any pics, where are you mentally?

Trans icon Miss Major was just denied entry on to a plane in Arkansas because her ID had an X gender marker on it.

I have a theory that Tom Waits developed his schtick by attempting to impersonate Patti Smith.

The Trump administration's war on higher education has already been very high-stakes, but this is a genuine escalation even from what we've already seen: trying to force accreditors to impose ideological quotas on faculty. www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...

Rufo always has been and remains 100x more dangerous than Elon.
