🚨BREAKING: Federal Court GRANTS motion to HALT deportation under rarely invoked Alien Enemies Act of 1798. “A TRO is appropriate for the class members to prevent the removal of the class.” WOW. Planes in air must turn around. A huge win @democracyforward.org and @aclu.org.

THE STAR WARS SEQUELS ARE GOOD! REAL STAR WARS FANS UNDERSTAND THIS!

Border czar Tom Homan is on CNN complaining that Chicago is “very well educated” and people “know their rights” too well for ICE to be able to enforce mass deportations. Good work, neighbors.

Weird that we have to say this, but the government doesn’t get to decide what gender a person is.

The need to be “a good person” is a powerful and deep drive. As with hunger/thirst/sex, if we aren’t able to satisfy it in a normal way, we satisfy it anyway we can: eat trash, drink piss, fuck a mannequin in the woods. True moral action (demonstrable material benefit to others) is difficult, but

After blowing through Veilguard, it's incredible to listen to the @worldsbeyondnumber.bsky.social Fireside and suddenly have Rook, @erikaishii.bsky.social, speaking.

Forced birth in a country with: —No universal healthcare —No universal childcare —No paid family & medical leave —One of the highest rates of maternal mortality among rich nations This isn't about "life." It's about control.

Māori MPs briefly suspended the Aotearoa parliament’s attempts to reinterpret their founding treaty in the most bad ass use of the Haka I’ve ever seen.

Seeing a lot of sentiment that’s identical to the cope after the ‘16 election. If you think you can post and self care your way out of this, you’re dumb. Get out of the bubble bath, don’t buy a gun. Unionize your fucking workplace. Take control of the money machine. Do whatever it takes.

One thing I think is important to remember is that organizing and community building means talking to people, often people who do not totally align with you.

To be clear this is not about sucking it up and cozying up to people who hate you. It's more like, people are annoying, and boring, and forgetful, and stubborn. A community is not 100 best friends. It is frustrating work but annoying people deserve good things too.

I said to my RA the other day “I’m sorry, I’m a mess” and she instantly replied “YOU ARE NOT A MESS, YOU ARE A GLORIOUS PHOENIX RISING FROM THE FLAMES OF A DUMPSTER FIRE” and you know what, it helped

I've talked to a few folks this morning who were talking about stopping work on their creative projects. Because it's "not important anymore." I don't know who needs to hear this, but DON'T DO THAT. We win by living our lives as loudly and truly as we can. That includes your "silly" art project.
