Jagmeet Singh just called Palestine a genocide. Marc Carney said that using that word was political. I guess not using it is political too

Jagmeet Singh needs to talk more. He's about a minute behind the others.

Jagmeet Singh is doing a good job in the French debate. He just called pp out about palestine

I can't emphasize enough that the most important thing journalists can do right now is publish exactly this kind of article

Bluesky didn't reach a federated stage where you could choose a service provider in a free country before they started to censor people based on authoritarian demands.

Wild news for all my tax paying autistic friends who fuck

This is a catastrophe for #particlephysics and #cosmology if it succeeds, by the way 🔭🧪⚛️

i'm watching a group of conservative law professors insist that there is a grand debate over birthright citizenship that somehow escaped generations of scholarship and only popped into existence after a right-wing president announced an effort to nullify the 14th amendment.

Fighting antisemitism by banning Anne Frank. Incredible move. More like genocide erasure so that the Palestinian genocide can continue without a public record of atrocities of the past.

This is the People's money. This is my money and your money. We did not give it to one man to dispense as he pleases. It was allocated in good faith under the authority of the People's representatives.

Finally it’s this guy’s time to shine

Here's the script, folks. It's now or never. Capitol switchboard: (202) 224-3121 Local office numbers: www.congress.gov/members/find... RTs appreciated.

They wear masks for a reason. Each one of them has a name and a home. Don't invite the SS to your family barbecue. Don't let them join your team. Don't serve them in your shop.

The social sanctions for being an ICE employee should be massive and devastating enough that people are very reluctant to take the job, like we should treat it on the same order as being a member of a violent neo-Nazi extremist militia

If you want to know how to fight fascism... Give mutual aid. Get your fellow fighters back on their feet. The fact that only folks in need share MA posts is a huge issue & why many marginalized folks don't trust "leftist community support". All talk with no action has already failed so many of us.

It is better to lose standing for something.

The simple truth is that if it wasn't for Jesse's dishonest fear mongering about youth trans health care, we probably don't have fascism ascendent in the US today. The people who benefitted from the trans panic are the very ones now in power.

What if instead of trying to restart the broken system that was genociding us we did LandBack & reparations, built sustainable healthy communities with Indigenous lead land stewardship, & taxes that paid for community needs like UBI, transport, housing, education, healthcare, disability & childcare?

Certainly worth repeating in the times we are in..

Me: Cool, im gonna put my apples in this biggish bowl Apples: Im gonna ROT Me: No stop that Apples: *2 out of the 4 proceed to go bad*

the fact is that he's faced massive consequences, but each time has learned that he can overcome them simply by escalating the stakes until people fold. it's a classic white privilege loophole that no law exists where enforcement is absent, and it works for him every time.

This is always how raids go. Please start talking to immigration reporters who have longer experiences especially who sat through Trump the first time

IT IS A TIME OF CHAOS IT IS AN ERA WHERE DONG ZHUO HAS CLAIMED THE CAPITAL OF LUOYANG THE COALITION FORCES ARE IN DISARRAY BUT IT IS ALSO A TIME FOR HEROES

i’m the fool

20,000 in ruby red Utah on their feet, in community, and ready to organize for a better world. A better world is possible.

My uncle had polio pretty badly & it took years of extensive, painful physical therapy for him to learn to walk again. And he did! He was super athletic, super active! Played sports, hiked, hunted, fished. Lived his last two decades or so of his life w/the excruciating agony of post-polio syndrome.

Like a cool breeze on a hot summer day.

When he was Prime Minister, Harper was the worst national leader in the democratic world. He was THE global dinosaur & obstructionist on the #ClimateCrisis, attacked science & evidence by muzzling scientists & gutting the census, & more. And that was all BEFORE MAGA. Poilievre will be much worse.

Oof. We’ve fallen so far, so fast.

If we're really going to talk about it, then for all the unnecessary shit Black people get put through when trying to coalesce with non-Black people (a thing that I ridicule often), the fact is, there can still be no effective liberation movement in America without Black voices.

the band ac/dc stands for “alligator crocodile (komodo) dragon caiman”

People with felonies should be able to vote.

Has anyone written about what the university looks like without federal grant money? Assuming it never comes back, or more likely, only gets directed to right wing projects in right wing states.

i think we should teach shakespeare because it’s wonderful. but there is other stuff out there which is also wonderful. as long as our students learn things which are wonderful and brilliant, i think it’s great. but they should also know how to kill their uncles with ear poison.

the gop thinking that they're trying to just keep the hot potato with the president on this aren't also realizing that they're basically duct taping their hands around Trump's while he's holding the hot potato

Mathematician and aerospace engineer Mary Jackson was born #OTD in 1921. Jackson worked at the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics until it was succeeded by NASA in 1958. She then became the first black woman to work as a NASA engineer. 🧪 🚀 👩🏾‍🔬 www.nasa.gov/history/mary...

The best parallel I imagine is the coverage of Biden’s Afghanistan withdrawal. Biden got handed a shit situation with a withdrawal negotiated by Trump and the press treated it like the epitaph of his administration.

My detained client was scheduled for a bond hearing this AM in a MA immigration court. He wasn't brought in, and he and his case have disappeared. I then received this notice of activity on a nonexistent docket in which his name was changed to "N/A" It's all happening a lot faster than I expected

One of the (many) lessons to take away from this whole thing is the irrefutable proof that "states rights" was always a divide and conquer strategy before re-aggregating your conquered domain back under an authoritarian federal rule.
