Under fascism, no one is safe. Universities stayed quiet as the admin targeted DEI & foreign aid, censored research, etc. Now, they face devastating cuts to indirect cost rates, threatening research & operations. Silence won’t protect institutions. It won’t protect people; it never does.

Does “Golden Age” refer to a time when planes keep crashing, eggs cost $10–15 a dozen, the U.S. is being booed and protested by all our allies, workers are losing their jobs, and Americans’ personal data is being rummaged through by unelected oligarchs and their strange crew of 20-something incels?

Let’s be clear. Privatization of the post office will mean some addresses simply will not be covered because they are unprofitable. Think of it like our private healthcare system.

Really not digging this thing where every time there's a mass shooting of some sort, the worst people on the internet rush to baselessly claim that the shooter was trans.

As we all watch some of #Syria’s horrific prisons being opened up, let's remember the systematic torture inside them under Assad’s rule: www.hrw.org/report/2015/... Survivors & families have been bravely seeking justice for years: www.hrw.org/feature/2024...

This healthcare ceo is hard to talk about because how much death can you cause indirectly before you’re a murderer who got murdered? How do you convince yourself it doesn’t count if you kill people with policy instead of a gun? What do you have to believe about life and systems and human worthiness?

This tweet is perfectly emblematic of how the far right takes class issues and turns them into race and culture issues to benefit their oligarch backers. It's an applied demonstration of the upper left quadrant problem.

Folk may not want to hear this but at core his administration will mainly be remembered for deciding, completely unpromptedly to just become unglued in 2023 and stop enacting any (morally or pragmatically) consistent foreign policy

Elect people who are willing to scale fences to stop authoritarians and give up on people who have built their careers on expressing concerns, performing gestures, and then using it all to fundraise.

Lee Jae-myung, Leader of South Korea's Democratic Party, live-streamed himself scaling the walls of the National Assembly to bypass military barricades so that he could vote to overturn the President's martial law.

When it comes down to it, democracy often hinges on whether the military will go along with an authoritarian or defend democratic principles. That is why authoritarians seek to put loyalists at the top of the military, and why we should be worried about military purges in the US.

Neoliberal capitalism conditioned people to focus solely on work, resulting in a crisis of identity, a crisis of isolation, and a loneliness crisis. MAGA is a faux-populist cult designed to offer people a simulation of purpose and belonging with shared gestures, phrases, and ideological orthodoxy.

There have been a lot of times where I feel like we need to have honest discussions on the left about what has worked and what hasn’t, share observations without judgement, but it feels like there isn’t much space for it. I think it’s holding us back. I wonder how and where we can accomplish that.
