“Porn” is a public good. “Porn” is the sign of a healthy, open society. “Porn” is record of the diversity of sexual expression. “Porn” brings people joy, access to parts of themselves that they may not have another way to express. It’s worth defending on its own.

Can someone pls help me navigate the geopolitical nuances of 🇺🇦 w/o leaning into pro-🇷🇺 or pro-🇺🇸 propaganda? I shouldn’t be seen as “pro Russia” for expressing my concerns about the US’ role in this war, and I also shouldn’t be seen as “pro-west” for supporting Ukrainian sovereignty against Russia.

For everyone who still thinks Norman Finkelstein is on the left, here he is attacking Angela Davis for not hating trans people. BTW, Angela Davis is great on Palestine too, and unlike Finkelstein, does it without being a raging bigot. www.normanfinkelstein.com/of-pronouns-...

Freddie Mercury didn't go into the studio and nail the vocals for "The Show Must Go On" in one take while dying of AIDS for you to despair and give up now. Take the time you need, but then get up and get back out there. The show must go on.

Renowned Palestinian writer Refaat Alareer was Reem Hamadaqa's professor and close mentor. She writes of his posthumous book If I Must Die, "Alareer's poems embody the essence of resistance, grief, steadfastness—sumud—and storytelling as survival." https://buff.ly/4i4AJ3L #Palestine #Israel

We only know this man is in Gitmo because Noem tweeted a propaganda photo that included him and his sister saw it. He has no criminal record. He entered the US in January and immediately made an appointment with CBP to claim asylum. They sent him to a concentration camp bc of his basketball tattoo.

In case it wasn’t already explicitly clear, it’s not about illegal immigration. It’s just racism.

Shortly after Trump banned 1600 vetted Afghan refugees who risked life & limb to help the USA against the Taliban, he issued an EO to accept white South Africans as refugees...because they're white. Just one of Trump's latest fascist EOs. I break them down here: www.qasimrashid.com/p/trump-late...

I am so heartbroken. I got to know Elisa two years ago when she came to me with hundreds of emails of anti-trans legislators scheming around restricting trans rights. I helped get her story told by the New York Times and Washington Post. She deserved so much better. RIP.

As much as I hate to ask, I need some help. I am disabled and on a fixed income. I just found out about a property tax bill due in May. I set up a fundraiser to cover the cost. I appreciate any help; whether a donation or sharing the link. Thank you. gofund.me/c3644dab

According to Jonathan Greenblatt, wearing a keffiyeh, that you bought from a Palestinian owned business, to show solidarity with Palestine is akin to wearing a swstika, but the richest man in the world can whip out two whole nzi salutes at a presidential inauguration and that’s “just an oopsie…”

Apparently, AOC said in the hearing to ban TikTok, there was little to know evidence presented and all the legislators were confused why the app was uniquely being presented as a threat.

In my life, I have been enmeshed in two genocides. The first was when I survived the Holocaust in World War II. The second is the Gaza genocide, which is being carried out in my name and which is exploiting my story to justify the slaughter. https://mondoweiss.net/2025/01/my-two-genocides/ #Pales…
