I've long said that people are sentenced to judicial rape when sentenced to prison or jail. Most people are ok with this.

I wonder whether there isn't an issue of cultural competence in how we try and evaluate these arguments. The purpose of these statements is not to give a universally convincing rationale for policy. It's to offer justification that will be accepted by specific decisionmakers, w specific beliefs 🧵

Don't forget all the Nazi & Confederate & white supremacist classics Trump's about to have in his library.

At the Long Beach Tesla Takedown, lots of folks out here (I’d estimate probably 40-50 so far) and lots of support from cars driving by. Come out and join!

I need everyone to be crystal clear that this is a continuation of RFK and the wellness community’s *obsession* with the elimination of the disabled and the chronically ill. They are disgusted by us, they view illness and disability as weakness, and they believe in using eugenics to disappear us.

Also if y’all come across liberals crying about folks pressing Democrats to act, tell them to stfu. Cuz some folks in these red cities are giving Republicans hell too. Just because 🫵🏾 YOU 🫵🏾 are too scared to tell you reps to do their job doesn’t mean everyone is like you www.wpr.org/news/glenn-g...

I was asked by a union trans kin to speak at this Candlelight vigil. I will be and I hope that I can honor Sam Nordquist with my words. Please feel free to come if you would like.

My words are written. I hope I can honor Sam and comfort those grieving. And give em hope.

The Justice Department now says that President Donald Trump’s clemency for Jan. 6 rioters covers unrelated crimes that were discovered during FBI searches stemming from the attack on the Capitol.

Anti-DEI is an attack on civil rights by segregationists. Most white "allies" are completely silent while segregationists attack Black people and our civil rights. These silent "allies" without a shred of shame or self-awareness, fully expect Black voters to make sacrifices to save them at midterms

Please stop and read my story 🚨 My family of 8 has been living a very harsh life for 16 months due to the war on Gaza. We lost everything—our home and my sick father. Since then, we’ve been living in a tent without basic necessities of food and water. 💔 Please share and DONATE 🙏🫂 gofund.me/7a021cb4

another great example along with Wired and Teen Vogue of how real journalism these days can be a lot braver at outlets where no one is trying to get in good with the White House press secretary they’re out here with us, reporting on what’s happening to us all, instead of trying to get inside access

Chris Kluwe, knowing his privilege and using it to tie up the cops by getting arrested: cool and fine the average person should listen to this

remember when jemele hill lost her job for calling trump a white supremacist

The war destroyed everything we had worked for. Our factory, the source of our livelihood, was reduced to rubble. I’m now unable to provide for my pregnant wife, who’s expecting our first child. Our lives have been consumed by loss, and our baby will be born into this devastation.

Tell that to millions of people who do identify with Luigi to the point of creating icons to him & creating street art in his honor across the world. Tell that to the state who felt they needed a massive charade of force of a police escort for him. Millions beg to differ that Luigi changed nothing.

Ok, I'm doing a version of this thread for 🧪 who are new to political conditions where info security is a safety issue: 1. Don't make public lists of people who are engaging in acts of resistance 2. Be weary of calls to advertise acts of subversion 3. Don't live post resistance meetings

Things are incredibly rough right now, I don't have the family support I did a couple months ago, and I just learned I need dental surgery. Any help is immensely appreciated. I'm struggling bad. Ki ci mîkwêc. ❤️‍🩹 PayPal.me/beadsagainstfascism

I was at a punk show in 83 where a skinhead jumped up on stage and gave a Nazi salute. The bass player hit him with his bass, knocking him into the crowd and 150 people collectively hauled his ass out of the venue and threw him in the mud. This was the right and only appropriate response.
