If Kamala Harris ran a stronger campaign standing on real issues instead of trying to placate both sides, maybe she would've won. It has nothing to do with Chappell Roan or third party voters. Y'all need to start blaming the real people responsible for her loss, herself & that weak ass campaign.

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people: 1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money 3) We won’t need a lot of troops 4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq 5) We’ll find WMDs 6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators 7) It will be easy 8) It won’t take long All lies.

Our resource We Must Fight in Solidarity with Trans Youth situates the criminalization of gender-affirming care within a larger web, draws connections across our movements, provides historical context, and talks about the groups that are behind this trans eliminationist, white supremacist agenda:

I finally realized the reason I was having a hard time concentrating on reading is that I was trying to read the WRONG BOOKS. Thanks so much to @simkern.bsky.social and the folks at @interlinkbooks.bsky.social .

From a dear comrade who was kind enough to let me share their video. Veterans stage a sit-in on the US Capitol steps and say, “Military off our streets!” Hell yeah!

In a world built on lies, the most radical thing you can do is insist on always speaking the truth.

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.” They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

I'm still reflecting but what I took away from my past few days in New Orleans is: 1. People are in motion everywhere. 2. The South teaches all of us about survival and fight. 3. I have some of the most committed & brilliant comrades who are doing healing and necessary work. 4. The work continues.

“Why are these police dressed like they’re going into combat” Cause we gave them the clothes and the gear. There was a very public discussion about it.

I think we’ve reached a boiling point when it comes to ICE. Today in Minneapolis, a militarized task force raided the beloved Lake Street taqueria, Las Cuatro Milpas—and the community was not having it. Agents from ICE, the DEA, FBI, ATF, IRS and HHS rolled up looking like they were ready for war.

Y'all should start putting "white" in scare quotes whenever you use it. Whiteness is a made up concept of white supremacy. You're actually European-American (or whatever ethnicity fits).

South Africa’s murder rate for white farmers was 54.5 per 100,000 in 2023, lower than the national average of 78 per 100,000. Doesn’t sound like “white genocide” to me.

Saying something is a "hard decision" is just another way of saying you KNOW the decision is bad and harmful, but you refuse to take any accountability for it

covid threw into high relief how many working class people are absolutely necessary to keeping society functional, and rather than that sparking a renewed commitment to an economy that rewards such workers, we've seen an elite backlash against even modest increases in their market power

Harvard is blatantly discriminating against students of color and LGBTQ students by banning the use of Harvard spaces for affinity graduation events. They are explicitly saying they can't use campus space on the basis of their race, sexual orientation, and gender identity.

Here's the justice department arguing that a law firm is a national security threat because they donated money to a LGBTQ org challenging the trans ban on the military.

I keep having to restate to comrades that Tru*p is broadly unpopular and that this is an ACTUAL opportunity. Even some organizers seem to be convinced that this guy is more popular than he is. His fans are not THE COUNTRY. Stop being propagandized by the terrible US mainstream media.

Organizations doing life giving work are closing their doors everywhere right now. And the most vulnerable people who were just hanging on by a thread aren't even going to have the thread anymore. If there are local orgs/groups that you appreciate, help them to raise funds if you can.

I've been saying this FOR MONTHS on here. You are not obligated to give to anyone. But there's a special place in hell for you if you reporting people who trying to survive a GENOCIDE because they are desperate for support. YOU CAN JUST MUTE PEOPLE AND KEEP IT MOVING. What is wrong with you?

I'm not shocked. And now we have no real clue, at least in the U.S., of how many are dying as a result of COVID - not just the acute phase of the disease, but follow-on deaths from the damage it inflicts on our bodies.

the narrative with ‘white genocide’ lately isn’t an accident, this is an intentional effort to continue pushing the overton window as far as they can to completely reverse all social progress. these people are genuinely sad aparteid ended
