at Teen Vogue I interviewed Boots Riley about "hot labor summer," the potential of the SAG and WGA strikes "creating the experiences that are radicalizing writers," and how he got radicalized at 14 by a group of 14-year-old girls in the 1980s at the Watsonville cannery strikes

There is a large unhoused population in West Maui and Lahaina. An overwhelming majority of the unhoused population in Hawai’i is Native Hawaiian, so we know that many of these folks are displaced kanaka. Anyone know of spaces directing support to their recovery needs and decolonization efforts?

When we’re brave enough to try something new, our communities can heal and begin to thrive. “Connecticut reduced its prison population by 50%, closed 10 prisons, and reduced violent crime by 43% over a period of 10 years.” … Abolition is the way forward.

we should let this dude organize one expedition per year just to keep morale up

Protesters formed a letter "hor" (ห) that could be interpreted as 'hia" or "monitor lizard" (เหี้ย) which also means "damn" in Thai at Ratchaprasong Intersection today, they demanding junta-appointed senators respect voters choice.

I am Xicanx (chee-cahn-eks) youtube creator and stand up comedian. I make videos telling personal stories, shitting on conservative chuds and ripping on toxic masculinity. Here's a video im pretty proud of. https://youtu.be/rYoA5o2CeiA

Ok babes, we need to move some money around. This is a BIPOC only mega thread for MUTUAL AID. Drop your links in the comments, and boost others out if ya can’t donate. Let’s get this bread (moved around to friends)

One day I’m gonna say some shit about white folks on the 90% white website that finna make me the main character of the day I won’t be *wrong* but they gon be angry.

Depressing fact of the day: I asked students in my intro class some four years ago and every student qualified their response with "I would need money, but..." and that was a sad, sad day.

I think about this a lot, how people with empathy think about all the nice things they'd like to do to enjoy and make the most of life. And then they'd give all the rest of it away.
