feels good to cry *happy* tears

I've shared this short piece about dialectics with a few younger organizers over the past couple of years: polied.com/articles/dia...

I'm with Kelly here: deeply interested in leftism as a political project but have no interest whatsoever in leftism as a subculture. the stakes of leaving this behind are hopefully clearer by the day

The Silicon Valley billionaires & techno-feudal lords who are waging a capitalists' coup right now are rebelling against the people & the "free market" for rejecting them & the tech they need us to become dependent on. They're taking over the government to ensure we have no more choice in the matter

Breaking news: State attorneys general from California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Nevada, Vermont, and Wisconsin advise Trump's EO banning trans care is unlawful, hospitals should provide care. Big counter salvo!

Scenes from Jabalia camp in northern Gaza:

This thread. The decision tree. Jesus.

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

My Hot Take: Whenever you hear the words “DEI”, sub in “Civil Rights” and it’s easier to understand what MAGA is doing, and why.

These are the same picture.

This whole thread is great but I especially like this tip:

🚨 474/1650$ Pass the hat. Support a Trans safe house & the breadwinner who is on recovery after receiving her FFS. We are 28% of the way to her required expense.

Fuck.

I genuinely can’t wait until @aoc.bsky.social is president

is Musk trying to be the Nazi Katniss Everdeen with that weird salute or what?

“With literally minutes left in his presidency, Joe Biden on Monday granted clemency to Leonard Peltier, the ailing Native American rights activist whom the U.S. government put in prison nearly 50 years ago after a trial riddled with misconduct and lies.” www.huffpost.com/entry/joe-bi...

Hi all. TikTok may not be available right now but these good independent media sources are! Let’s keep it that way! go.bsky.app/432r6dr

Poking fun of people for grieving the loss of community is basic asshole behavior. Even if that community was on an app.

Hard to believe that one of the greatest love stories of this era is a couple that appeared in the third episode of a zombie apocalypse show that was made from a video game. ❤ Bill & Frank

So, Biden drops state sponsor of terrorism for Cuba, less than a week before the guy who's gonna reinstate it takes power. If he had done that a year ago, 2 years ago, 4 years ago, it could have really made a difference for the people of Cuba, who suffer deeply under the US blockade.

Audible is taking returns of Gaiman books even without a current membership. Thanks to whoever shared this - I went to try it and lost your post. Apparently a 3 book/day limit.

There would be no profits without workers. No one at the top should be taking home millions if those at the bottom are struggling to afford basics like food and shelter.

1. Did you know that Girl Scouts has, for a long time, accepted trans girls and nonbinary scouts? Trans kids are under attack. Every year, I make a thread of trans and nonbinary girl scouts you can get your cookies from. Lets get our cookies from them this year in solidarity!

I like this approach in this context.

One thing Newsom should do *right now* is a statewide rent freeze. They did it during lockdown, they can do it again. And yes, statewide, because every landlord within 200 miles of LA is eagerly waiting for fire refugees to move into their area.
