A large protest has started to grow at the federal courthouse in Milwaukee Wisconsin in response to the arrest of a judge in chambers by regime forces.

i think this is bad! not a good sign.

Class consciousness, solidarity and mutual aid are a large part of the way we make it through the rising tide of fascism to do the work of reconstruction 2.0 and defending one another from the damage that is to come and already done.

Man I’m just so fucking proud of all the people who didn’t give up and aren’t going to give up

Old school left thinkers like Marx/Gramsci would argue that outlets like NYT are key sites where the dominant class secures consent by shaping 'common sense' - part of Marx's 'superstructure'. Radically questioning their own role in sense-making undermines their own cultural hegemonic function.

People sometimes ask "what are the crimes" and let me tell y'all, as a lawyer, that intentionally copying, altering, destroying, or disrupting government computer systems is super-duper illegal if you don't have a spotless paper trail authorizing it, which none of these DOGE people do.

these fuckers being able to destroy everything is not a foregone conclusion

Reminder that we have textual evidence of a DoD CCMD initiating military operations without any actual clear orders from the President

When I look back at this time in my life, I will remember how critical Marisa's reporting has been to understand how the Trump Administration is dismantling the US government. Support her work by joining the Handbasket as a member. A small plus: she doesn't bombard your inbox!

THE CIVIL RIGHTS ACT IS THE LAW OF THE LAND AND A SUPERSTATUTE AND THE PRESIDENT CANNOT UNDO IT. sincerely, a constitutional law professor who also teaches employment discrimination

The digital authoritarian state is here. Act accordingly. And for the love of god, stop inviting these devices into your lives.

My hometown had (rip) this deli that used to run kids’ trains on the ceiling and served a grilled pound cake sundae. They grilled it in butter and covered it in sauce and whipped cream. It was decadent and quite possibly illegal.

i actually cannot handle this on any level. this is journalism malpractice.

I know this is radical thinking but i don’t think our media should let a bunch of white supremacists redefine “antisemitism” as meaning “opposition to the slaughter of civilians” without any pushback.

and letting the great unwashed kill themselves (“well they shouldn’t have taken untested drugs/gone outside/bought soda”) is plausible deniability. so we have to care for each other. fight for each other. live because they don’t want you to.

i do commend whoever wrote it because it sums up everything that is actually threatening about AI. Its a self lobotomization tool. You might as well ask “why think?”

Trans Lifeline is a good place to direct resources if you’re looking to help here fuck everyone involved with this decision

See this is what I mean. Mississippi is a state with a 40% Black population. African American candidate Mike Espy garnered nearly 45% of the vote in the 2020 General Election for the U.S. Senate. Why isn’t there a 10 yr Dem plan for organizing Mississippi? Why concede the state w/a 40% Black pop?

this is a great article paywall free: archive.ph/2025.04.21-2...

im serious here, you really do need to find the things that make you happy. You cannot sit there and consume the horrors on a daily basis. Its not healthy. You are not wrong for taking the time to do the things you enjoy

Finally got something cool going with blender geometry nodes #gamedev

look decades of insurrectionary anarchist and communist zines and essays only reached a handful of radicals it is GOOD that liberals and centrists are organically embracing radical resistance. and it's good they're making their own media to do so.

Great idea. Start by coming out to one of more than 100 #teslatakedown protests across the country this weekend. Find your local action at Teslatakedown.com

I need you to know that my timeline pulled the funniest coincidence.

"Private prison CEO experiences their own product"

One reason the fascists are using terror tactics, bellowing draconian threats and demanding compliance so loudly is because they have real weaknesses around numbers and capacity. Their grip is weaker than it looks and the resistance they're already getting scares them.

Got a new one today when the press secretary accused him of being a "human trafficker" just absolutely out of thin air!

My partner got weirded out by how much my new calathea plant wiggles during the day, so of course I had to capture an 11 hour timelapse of it wiggling.

there’s no reason not to do this. it’d probably end up with another kind of constitutional crisis, which is exactly why it should happen.
