Obama brought us to today. He could have ended the Patriot Act or NDAA or Guantanamo Bay.

I am once again begging people to realize that the law is words on paper and is not self executing. "That's illegal" is not and has never been synonymous with "that's impossible" or "that can't be done." "That's illegal" means "you might get in trouble for that depending on who you are."

“Not even in your own home. You can’t live in peace. You can’t go anywhere. You’re afraid to be on the street.”

I understand looking for historical parallels when we’re at the stage of warning signs, but when the evil arrives the priority is to deal with what’s actually in front of you.

Years ago I did a year long independent study about Japanese internment and learned that both FDR & Truman called the camps "concentration camps" - www.usprisonculture.com/2013/09/26/s...

Some white people are truly bonkers.

Boycott products of El Salvador and the businesses owned by Bukele here in the US.

Grabbed at his appointment to become a citizen. Is this who we are? 😕🇺🇸

I know you aren't going to want to hear this but the reason the system can deport Mahmoud Khalil and send Kilmar Abrego Garcia to El Salvador is that for years we've been executing factually innocent people like Marcellus Williams and sending legally innocent people to places like Riker's Island.

DOGE is a criminal conspiracy to defraud the people of the United States

important context about the concentration camps in el salvador:

El Salvador isnt acting like MAGA's little bitch for no reason. European Americans committed crimes for decades to take over that country. www.aljazeera.com/opinions/202...

The U.S. attacked a ceramics factory near Sanaa on Sunday that killed at least seven people and injured 29 others, with at least five children killed or wounded.

bloomberg: ~90% of deported migrants to el salvador had no criminal record

We hosted our volunteer orientation for Black Zine Fair last evening and over 50 people attended. So grateful that people want to support the Fair and us. Looking forward to May 3. Registration is open: blackzinefair.org

Just captured the most amazing rainbow I have ever seen!

The RSF’s massacre in Darfur isn’t just ‘tragic’—it’s sponsored. The UAE funds, arms, and legitimizes these butchers. #Sudan

IOF volunteer who gleefully autographs artillery shells has thoughts on violence

The painted #bat, known for its vibrant and unique markings, is a nocturnal creature found in Southeast Asia. Its colorful appearance, especially around the face and wings, helps it stand out among other bat species. These bats play a vital role in controlling insect populations [amnuay47]

#Sudan: We are appalled to learn that nine staff from Relief International were killed on April 11. It was the only international assistance organization still operating in #Zamzam camp. Our thoughts are with their families, colleagues & all affected. www.doctorswithoutborders.ca/sudan-deadly...

An unappreciated part of this story: the person doing the arrest wasn't an ICE agent, it was an ATF agent. According to Reuters, 4 out of every 5 ATF agents has been reassigned to do immigration enforcement. So it's a great time to be a gun runner in the United States.

HE IS PROMISING TO SEND AMERICANS TO FOREIGN DEATH CAMPS. This is it. This is where America ends.

How Biden Set Up Trump to Use Authoritarian Tactics on Tesla Protesters

In a new report, Sarah Stillman investigates deaths related to starvation, dehydration, and neglect in county jails across the U.S.—a crisis that at times has been covered up by private health companies and government officials. nyer.cm/hMT7u9R

Some ancient paintings have been unearthed...

The Librarians is a must-see documentary about the recent history of book banning in the US

saw this in a shop this weekend

$100 can be raised in a few typical donations. Let's keep Isaac housed! Please share this far and wide. #MutualAid emergency for an Indigenous communist comrade. Share donate share!

more library restrictions proposed in Texas www.txftrp.org/stop_house_b... and this bleak af sign from Idaho

One of hundreds of people abducted by ICE and sold to slavery in El Salvador was a 19 year old with no criminal record in the US or Venezuela and no tattoos of any kind. An ICE kidnapper who grabbed him outside his house said, "He's not the one." The other said, "Take him anyway." So they did.

@msjpauly.bsky.social and I spent the last three months speaking to seven parents of trans kids and three trans teens. one 17-year-old told me that he was leaving the country: “Having to choose my safety over staying with my family at a young age is a really frustrating place to be in.”

Anti-disability architecture comes in more forms than just buildings. This is the same logic that penalizes young girls for having bad menstrual cycles, or any physically disabled kid for taking a day off. Ask me how I know 🙃

China really upping their trolling game since the tariffs.

how many abled cishet white folks think they could survive under an onslaught like this—which is, for the record, just what the fox news crowd has alleged happens to the GOP for years. 2.9 pieces a day across all major media saying “these people must be cast out of society before they destroy it.”🧵

I hope everyone remains safe and also that people know that a corporate spaceflight of only women astronauts for a company owned by a deeply destructive billionaire who is enabling fascism is just public relations for fascism and has absolutely nothing to do with feminism

Trump, Musk & the DOGE thugs are killing people off by the thousands— Financially. They added living legal immigrants to the Social Security's Death Master File to force them to leave. Now they can't get a salary, use credit cards, health insurance or bank accounts. Will we be next on this list?

URGENT FOOD AND INTERNET ASAP #mutualaid 💸💕 #transmutualaid #disability

Every $5 donation sends one box of masks to a requester, helping them stay safe. 😷 Our goal is to raise $7,500 during our Spring Fundraiser, which will help put thousands of masks in the hands of those in need. 💙 donatemask.ca/fundraiser

You don’t have to be particularly sharp to decipher the code here. But if you need someone to say it, this is a major technology company and a sizable defense and intelligence contractor publicly declaring, with only the thinnest patina of deniability, that its cause is white nationalism.

Bernie being at Coachella & Obama being in Norway says all you need to know about what the Democratic party cares about: Using clout to trap the youth in Electoralism forever & making money on book tours and speaking engagements. Fuck Bernie Fuck AOC They're not even TRYING to save you RIGHT NOW

The Trump admin is terminating a settlement aimed at improving wastewater treatment services for Black Alabama communities harmed by raw sewage, calling the agreement an “illegal DEI and environmental justice policy”

Trusting any government agency to be anything but deeply evil is killing this man. They can't get it through their skulls. Stop trusting government agencies! Stop trusting politicians! Every single entity with power in the west is happy to watch you die if you aren't an oligarch.

ALL OF US should be radical by now.

Fondly recalling when the Biden administration said in early December that the Israeli incursion was justified because it was strictly temporary

Well I'll say this much: JPMorgan and their likes are all forecasting a Recession AT BEST now. And over the past week Ripple (Crypto Banking Company) bought a brokerage firm and now Stripe (Payment Processing Company) bought a bank. I'd say it's likely that the 'Great Reset' is scarily imminent.

Bowhead #whales are true survivors, traveling long distances beneath thick ice. When open water’s not available, they use the top of their head to push through the thinnest ice, creating a breathing hole to survive the harsh conditions. [dailywhaledose]
