It’s only terrorism if it’s a CEO or a Republican. 🙄

dudes rock

think you just answered it

we need to ask how many armed cops are parking outside people's houses with multiple rifles dressed in latex horror masks if a cop sees one like this and thinks "ok no biggie lets move on"

Oh hey did you want a copy of shadow of the ship (aka the Xuya gothic) on sale? This way!

Making one person's life less shitty is a valid and worthy act of defiance.

Soleil is one of my absolute favorite critics to read pretty much ever, and if they're starting a (desperately needed) thing i want to be a part of that.

that's because it is

What and where are we when a REAGAN appointee is more clear about it than the press or the Democratic party

People don’t want the answer and are racist themself. Black scholars, Indigenous scholars , Chicano studies, online users, fellows protesters, fellows been saying this They are silenced , muted and shut out The fact we need a Raegan appointee/ whistleblower/ etc is how Trump got in

Same. I am so tired of avoiding it everywhere and avoiding the people who shill for it. It's like everywhere I go someone is running up to me like "I'M A GIANT HORNET RANCHER NOW! LOOK AT THIS! PUT IT IN YOUR HAND! EVERYONE IS DOING IT! IT'S A FUN AND EASY WAY TO CREATE A HUGE PAINFUL WELT!"

Thread. We got a court win on some terminated NIH grants!

Everyone needs to focus on their NEIGHBORS not the photo ops for the folks in power “He’s good on this ONE thing” is a complete thought We protect each other is the actual work

If someone on here, or Insta, or wherever, has changed your worldview, and they have a tip jar, maybe, like, hit it? I think the value of that work is really, really understated.

I refuse to give the NYT my eyeballs, so I can't speak to the specifics of this article. But any historians attempting to use AI for either writing or research should be run out of the field. AI is inherently unable to do anything we need it to do to understand and communicate history.

This is so fucked up

the job where I scrubbed 200 toilets a night was less difficult in almost every respect than the one where I tended to two children under four.

Like 20 yrs ago there was that awful Mark Foley scandal and I’ll never forget that Fox News reported him as a democrat and then never ran on air corrections 🫠🫠🫠

There are lots of GREAT rewards! And may I just say in my usual self-serving fashion, SH was the one who picked up my multiply award-nominated novelette BY SALT, BY SEA, BY LIGHT OF STARS. Help keep SH free to read and able to pay contributors! strangehorizons.com/fiction/by-s...

Impeachment proceedings today

I saw a headline earlier this week from Entertainment Weekly of all things that said, "Doechii bashes Trump and ICE for protest response while accepting BET Award," and yeah, it frames Trump as the victim. Further, I would qualify Doechii's speech as being firm and clear-headed, not "bashing."

What if I threw a birthday parade and nobody showed up because they were across town in a park, screaming at the tops of their lungs about what a flaccid, pus-filled, weak little man-baby I was?

The suspected assassin, Vance Boelter was the CEO a security services group in central Africa and the CEO of Praetorian Guard Security Services based in Minnesota.

I'm so fucking shocked right now.

I am back from the No Kings protest in St. Paul, MN.

Since it is my birthday and Trump is throwing a giant military parade for me, I'll exploit your good wishes to try to sell you some books that talk a bit about tyranny.

LA Area friends, if you've been thinking about learning to play the bagpipes, or just feel like whacking a couple of pans together, here's where to go:

Trump thought he'd be watching news coverage of his stupid North Korean style military parade. He thought American would cheer him and his fascism. Instead tonight he's watching every city in America, every town, rise up against him. Happy Birthday, Asshole.

NOT. SWIM GOGGLES. Friends. Do not wear swim goggles at a protest. If you take a projectile to the face the force can pop your eyeball out of its socket. If you're going to invest in protest eyewear, use impact resistant safety goggles and tape the vents.

This. Every targeted strike elsewhere proves Israel's government wants to wipe Palestinians from the map and doesn't care if it kills its own people in the process.

Newsom needs to grow a pair and order the LAPD to arrest ICE agents.

"Wait, wait. Go back to the middle thing."
