Oh hey there gonna use this as justification for ICE to harass / kidnap Muslims too huh 🙃

when democrats want to stop something (single payer healthcare) they stop it. when they don't (fascist dictatorship) they don't

Heaven help us

The reason liberals are convinced that ICE agents and cops are actually secretly J6 rioters is that they can't accept that their good liberal institutions are actually the gun the fascist state is using to execute them Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

The entire establishment from both sides is aiming all of its money and firepower against Zohran Mamdani. Very telling. This is what they're threatened by and who they are willing to crush.

Gov. Kathy Hochul and NY Attorney General Letitia James are slow-walking the lawsuits of almost 1,600 women who say they were sexually abused in New York prisons. For Sierra Johnson, that cynical delay means she will almost certainly die before she sees justice. hellgatenyc.com/sexual-assau...

forgot to post this to celebrate juneteenth

BE SO BRILLIANT NONE OF YOUR ENEMIES WOULD DARE LOOK AT YOU.

Omfg this is real youtu.be/Aap0l5DTwFo?...

would love to be capable of doing one (1) nice catch-up phone call with a family member without ending it by rambling about how in the next decade 100 million people are going to need to migrate north to escape the heat and our country is going to go full children of men over it

the most transgender book a cis person has ever written

support Black prisoners & don't forget about them on Juneteenth! send funds to their commissary accounts, send books, write letters! don't forget about Mumia Abu-Jamal, Kamau Sadiki, Ronald Reed, Rev. Joy Powell, and many more, too many Black liberationists are still in prison today. free them all!

You can see the ICE agents in their minivans then the LAPD cars in the back appearing to block the Dodger Stadium parking lot entrance. When I asked an LAPD officer if they are blocking ICE from entering the parking lot she said “put it this way. The Dodgers don’t want them coming in.”

full fascism

Iraq and Afghanistan all over again, but against China rather than russia.

The Trump administration told the national suicide prevention hotline to stop offering specialized support to L.G.B.T.Q. callers

This is a vital message: one of the larger reasons BlueSky is refreshingly free of alt-right shitlords is because in the early days we made a gentleperson’s agreement to starve these fuckos out and it worked. No likes, no quotes, no engagement. They got bored and left. Please keep the Old Ways.

the script for this iran war drumbeat is EXACTLY the same as the runup to iraq. ive heard almost verbatim "with us or against us" and "the smoking gun will be a mushroom cloud." neocon deep state stays winning

Bisbee is a tiny artsy town (less than 5000 population) with a vibrant queer community near the AZ-Mexico border and a bunch of Border Patrol agents rolled up to Bisbee Pride this weekend and snatched people up right as the parade was about to kick off.

All part of the plan. www.mcsweeneys.net/articles/you...

Capitalism is funny because we could have $15k EVs in America but the big bad capitalist are scared of itty bitty communism.

Look I'm just going to get even transer and even gayer and then even transer after that. Like @erinyes.diy says, I'll be calling for unapologetic gender expansive trans jihad until I die. Be whatever gender(s) suits you. Be all the genders! Fuck the haters. Bodily autonomy is the FLOOR.

a world where everyone owns the home they live in and no one owns a home they don't

Current mood.

Current mood.

Would love to have reporters dig into this incident, which is reminiscent of the Portland arrests of protesters in black vans. My additional question: did these black vans even have government plates?

what turned me into the joker was a couple decades of being called a nihilist doomer by people who insist that the lesser of two increasingly horrifying evils is the best we can ever do as a species

"The bill directs what is likely the largest single sale of national public lands in modern history to help cut taxes for the richest people in the country....all without hearings, debate or public input." wilderness.org/articles/med...

ICE throws gas at protesters who immediately cone it then use boards to help fan the gas back at ICE.

This myth is one of my big historical pet peeves. Life expectancy was low in earlier eras not because people were middle aged at 25 and died of old age at 40, but because a huge % of people died in infancy and early childhood, bringing the average way down.

Thank you to everyone who helped us meet (and exceed!) our fundraising goal for the launch of the official Blacksky app! 🕺🏾 What happens next: - If you haven't already, let us know what features you want here -> pol.is/6vmnfmi5ps - If you contributed, we'll follow up about claiming a @badge.blue

depressed? would a depressed guy do THIS?!? *goes into work and does his job*

This is next-level cringe.

If you are too young to remember the Iraq War, you'll hear "no one protested" and "no one knew they were lying." Millions of people knew they were lying and protested. The press not only did not want a record of mass dissent; they did not want a record of mass knowledge of lies.

Kinda wild that we all get to pay taxes to fund a civil war against us

“You deserve a peace that doesn’t ask you to disappear”

The Western public sphere is nothing but Zionists taking a very short break from masturbating to footage of genocide of Palestinians to tell everyone better things aren't possible and disagreeing with them is a hate crime.

I haven't said anything about the truly Islamophobic campaign being waged in NYC during this primary but it's absolutely DISGUSTING and another example of how accepted Islamophobia is as routine bigotry. All of us have had enough of this. It's building up more bad blood and resentment.

This Palestinian girl in Gaza is mourning her younger brother who was killed by Israeli forces while trying to collect aid from Rafah.

The Israelis are monsters. They must be stopped.

If we had a dictatorship of the proletariat I could be at brunch right now

For people with darker skin injured at protests, and the lawyers representing them:

The best prayer I ever prayed was that i would see myself like god sees me. That prayer changed my life. And i only prayed it because of my session with @heyitsjeida.bsky.social.

Denmark’s Ministry for Digitalization is looking to get off Microsoft products by the end of the year, starting with the adoption of LibreOffice. It follows similar moves by Copenhagen and Aarhus.
