I think this means i'm ALSO technically an Aurora Award nominee? (I'm James' webmaster). Anyway, vote for him/us if you're an eligible voter!

an unironic thing i genuinely hold after reading skocpol is that we need more left-coded third spaces union halls used to be this

the tech-aligned natalism movement is usually presented in media as the normie version of quiverfull and i cannot stress enough that it extremely the fuck is nothing close to normie

One of the implicit promises of fascistic misogyny is that stripping freedom from women will give men more freedom. But it's a lie. Men aren't free in a patriarchal system. And in a sex-segregated patriarchal system, they spend more of their time around other men who seek to control them.

once again, AOC and Bernie make it painfully obvious that they do not want to acknowledge genocide. In a “Fight The Oligarchy” tour, he blatantly ignores the cops silencing the voices for a free Palestine. Do we really want to keep pretending they’re worth our support?

One reason that the founding fathers didn't say anything about undocumented immigrants is that there were open borders. #JustSaying

I regret to inform you that this form was made in great haste and does not verify whether you entered valid contact information.

It's breathtaking to watch autocrats weaponize the civil rights movement on behalf of the putative safety of Jews in order to send people who are opposing genocide to literal death camps - and Jews who oppose this are labelled terrorist sympathizers.

Every American should know that the Chamber of Commerce and American Bankers Association literally teamed up with the Trump administration on Monday to end the CFPB rule limiting big credit card providers to an $8 late fee. Today, in light of the agreement, the rule was vacated.

NEW: The Associated Press denounces the Trump White House’s decision to end the dedicated seat for wire services in the reporting pool, calling it a “grave disservice to the American people.” More in tonight’s @status.news www.status.news/p/cnn-execut...

report with alt text community-led arrest preventions or de-arrests are incredibly effective. UK antifascists have done this to great success to protect refugees over the past 5 years. all about how quickly you can get people on the street to crowd the scene

Anne Frank's diary just got removed from a number of libraries, so hopefully most adults understand the importance and implications of having this discussion now.

“It remains true both that Mohsen is truly an outstanding guy, and Palestinians and foreign students shouldn't have to be the ‘perfect victims’ to stand up and support their rights”

we are literally being governed by gamergate

Because I just found the reference for someone and someone else maybe could use the laugh: a very valuable paper giving a chemical process by which you can turn meth (easy to acquire) back into Sudafed (difficult to acquire) improbable.com/airchives/pa...

BIRD PROTOCOL activated. Take a bird, leave a bird. Bird. 🪶

The New York Times has obtained the autopsies of the Palestinian medics massacred by the Israeli occupation army. They show that some were shot point blank in the skull.

Like I want to remind people, that there was a literal 9-0 SCOTUS ruling about this. Even Alito couldn't twist some madness to support DOJ here.

Wow, we are now being officially advised against travel to the USA by the Canadian Association of University Teachers. I never thought I'd see the day. ☹️ #AcademicChatter

I don't wanna see the rich ladies in space segment anymore. Stop showing it to me. Stop saying you're "inspiring little girls." This little girl ain't inspired at all. I just spent $137 for a week's worth of groceries. 😠

1. The Department of Health and Human Services has launched a national "snitch form" to report gender affirming care providers. The last few times state Republicans did this, they were overloaded with memes and Bee Movie scripts. The latest from S. Baum. Subscribe to support our journalism.

Hallo any Berliners out there, I’m looking for help from some locals who are steeped in the history of the Weimar theater/Cabaret scene and the places/buildings where it happened, you don’t need to be like a PhD or anything, enthusiasts are cool (I am one too) hmu namebrandlindsay at gmail

When this comes out you HAVE to check in on your millennial trans women friends and remind them to hydrate

Before weighing in on whether you think that it should be OK to deport American citizens to El Salvador prisons, I want you to consider that we're even discussing it.

"This malevolent quest towards supposed Jewish safety has always been predicated on endangering anti-genocide and pro-Palestinian students—including other Jews."

#transcrowdfund 💕💸 so Kait and I need about $2,500 to pay this month's rent to avoid eviction and the landlord wants me to pay by the 25th anyone who can help any amount helps please DM me for my PayPal, venmo, cash app, or ko-fi and thank you so much 🫂

Jewish classmates of Mohsen Mahdawi speak out— One, an IDF refuser, recalls how Mohsen met with Zionists, including those cruel to him—or how, while seeking to heal campus, he even expressed sympathy for administrators (the same who ignored his pleas for help). "Most profound person I've ever met"

A big reason the fascist administration doesn't want Mr. Abrego Garcia back in the U.S. is because they know that when he tells his story in his own words more people will be disgusted.

Your "dumb little projects" are so important during this harrowing time. Don't forget that. Your creativity has value, for yourself and for the world.

in France being a minion is considered the ultimate feminine labor, and as such France has both the most henchwomen per capita of any nation but also on average the most underpaid cronies

The thing about this is this man just won so much political capital in many of our eyes but it’s only because everyone else is literally sitting there like rocks on the tarp of fascism.

The Trump admin *secretly revoked Rümeysa Öztürk's visa.* Öztürk couldn't dispute it. *She wasn't even told about it.* From a State Dept. memo: "This revocation will be silent. The Department of State will not notify the subject of the revocation." www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...
