If you want this world to find peace, free Palestine first.

On my birthday, I sit displaced beneath the scorching sun, guarding the remnants of time to avenge my starving soul Around me are funerals, postponed dreams A refugee, displaced, exiled cast to the ground And yet, it is a bittersweet evening, Because with your support I just might make it through❤️‍🩹

fun historical fact: among the core political forces in the development of mass incarceration was the "Victims' Rights Movement". Its first major legislative national legislative victory was under President Reagan. The prison population doubled under his administration.

There are many reasons to fight back, but a big one: Trump is a paper tiger. Often, fighting back works. www.nytimes.com/2025/04/18/b...

Trump's team backing down in front of Harvard should embolden EVERYONE to stand up to them. Do not comply in advance. Instead say "Fuck you, make me."

I sure hope no one is still teaching information literacy and/or research skills with "you can trust sites with .gov" addresses because you sure as hell cannot.

Omg yall sobbing after watching a clip of neighbors of all races and ages forming a human chain around a father and son to prevent an ice deportation. In Nashville. I’m struggling with my conviction that people are inherently good these days and seeing stuff like this is so moving.

Protect the most vulnerable, and I'll give you two reasons 1. It's the right thing to do 2. If you don't, you'll be next I think #1 really OUGHT to be enough for anyone, but if you think it's pie in the sky idealism then just do it for survival. Protect each other, and you protect us all

RFK Jr. says there are no autistic poets, so we interviewed one. Hear from Elizabeth McClellan, @popelizbet.bsky.social, an award-winning poet, attorney, and legal educator based in Memphis, Tennessee.

Rough week to be the grocery buyer for a family, I’m not sure if I’m supposed to be shopping to prepare for Easter or for civil unrest. My grocery cart looks totally bonkers.

This makes me think of my question again: is fascism what we call it when white supremacy happens to white people? Cuz some people already were property.

Calling a bunch of obscenely wealthy tourists taking a luxury jaunt to the edge of the atmosphere 'the first all-female space mission', fuck off. This isn't a 'mission', it's a gigantic ad for elite space tourism.

Roman sent us this pic from outside Watsonville CA. He shares, "we are weeding and thinning out the organic red and green leafy lettuce. We need to thin out the weaker plants to allow for maximum growth." #WeFeedYou

Pawpaws are in bloom in south central Kansas! They don’t leaf out until the flowers are pretty much done, to make it easier for beetles to find their blossoms. #asiminatriloba #northamericanpawpaw #nativeplants #kansas

Pawpaws blooming. Also heard a northern parula up in the trees. #nativeplants

Yet another way to set back research. Without international attendees at conferences, we can't be on top of the most recent developments in research. Conferences often include unpublished data and papers take years to publish, so this literally setting us back years. 🧪

insane to repeat their self-propaganda like this, with nothing but a flimsy pair of single-quotes. i could call myself the world's hottest writer but they wouldn't put it in the headline bc it's not fucking true www.npr.org/2025/04/14/n...

Truly @prisonculture.bsky.social, Jane Ball, and @ollycostello.bsky.social are all geniuses at their craft and everyone should have a copy of Prisons Must Fall! The visuals and the poetry of the message are exquisite! www.haymarketbooks.org/books/2588-p...

Unfortunately, the IDF has issued another forced evacuation order for my area :( Please keep us, the injured, and especially my mother in your prayers. If you can, please share my link and support me in trying to escape this situation. I don’t know what will happen to us. 💔 kindly give.

there’s a style of reporting that’s basically like “the left hasn’t been duped by the transparently bad faith framing of the right, but I, the reporter, very much have.”

AI is contributing to the need for more computing hardware, which puts a strain on the supply of rare earth minerals, which is why we’re deep sea mining. So those fake AI videos of deep sea “creatures” are not only bullshit, they are contributing to the destruction of real deep sea ecosystems.

Me when I was 12 days postpartum & the only time I got to myself with both hands free was on the toilet, & I read a headline about how you should NEVER blow your nose on the toilet if you want your pelvic floor to heal, literally as I was finally blowing my nose after needing to for hours

halfway through reading the Hundred Years War on Palestine and I had heard it mentioned Joe Biden was worse than Reagan on curbing Israel, I had no idea just how bad being worse than Reagan on anything is an embarrassment holy fucking shit

Well I suppose this is one way to move past the extractive, exploitative capitalist world system that we’ve lived under for the past 500 or so years… www.theguardian.com/environment/...

The scene now: We are being crucified, and the deranged man is mercilessly dismembering us on live television. Religion or lineage doesn't necessarily bind us; it's enough for you to possess an ounce of honor to stand up against this genocide. If you can't stop injustice, help me overcome it. 😔

Love that The Beach Boys wrote a song about the ritual transition from father to boyfriend occupying the role as gatekeeper of a teenage girl’s freedom of movement, and entitled it Fun Fun Fun

Tech Fascists: We shall weaken the nation, destroy the economy, replace the dollar with crypto, replace people with AI, and create new Network State cities everywhere. Normie Journalists: Folks, this is total chaos and incompetence with no structure or plan.

I am one of the authors whom Meta stole (sorry, ‘scraped’) from, by using their books to train Libgen. So I’m biased. But this from @mscaitlinmoran.bsky.social is👌

I am sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Lamis. Lamis is only 17 and is the daughter of Ayman, a paramedic in Gaza who lost his leg. Lamis has diabetes and wants to get a medical evacuation along with her father because of consistent problems she’s had without access to insulin.

We simply had to intentionally destroy the world’s strongest economy while dismantling our scientific and educational infrastructure to ensure that a team with a trans girl would never finish second place in the Mountain West volleyball standings again

Inbox: "A Jewish-led group of Columbia students have chained themselves to the locked campus gates in solidarity with Palestinian students, with 1 demand: the Uni provide the names of the trustees who reported Mahmoud Khalil to ICE... [they] refuse to unchain themselves until [they are answered]"

Guys we need communism

Israel shat on every page of the Geneva Convention. No protected zones, no safe passage for civilians, blocking of aid, bombing of hospitals, killing of humanitarian workers, looting, mass killings, etc. etc. The Geneva Convention is worthless, there is no functional international law system.

Shimaa’s daughter has severe malnutrition 💔

you can teach compliance or morality but not both

A huge number of people in Gaza are being displaced and losing all they have or spending a fortune to transport it. No aid is getting in and food prices are exorbitant. If you see more people and they seem more desperate, please treat them the way you’d hope someone would treat your family.

Adobe is backing the GOP attack on click-to-cancel. Last year the FTC ruled that any subscription you sign up for with a click must be cancel-able with a click. Now Republican politicians want to roll back this rule, and Adobe is supporting their push.

Gonna keep saying this: In the 1840s, Southerners insisted that they could kidnap any person they alleged was a slave without any state or federal process. This turned even minimal process into resistance and raised the salience of the issue, which radicalized a bunch of people against slavery.

In the midst of all this evil and injustice, this gesture made my day! I am truly blessed by you.

This is what the people complaining about GoFundMe campaigns didn't want you to read It was never about scams It was always about silencing Palestinian voices and covering up fucking Israel's hideous crimes against every HUMAN BEING You can look away but you can't say you didn't know

Jesus Christ, this is horrifying. slate.com/news-and-pol...

Regarding Trump, Musk, their crew, the current govt: THEY ARE NAZIS they are not communists. they are not tankies. they are not stalins or lenins or castros or xis THEY ARE NAZIS. this is a very important distinction and i need everyone to start getting this right
