MASSIVE protest marching through Manhattan right now against the ICE arrest of Mahmoud Khalil. Endless stream of people chanting “No cops, no KKK, no fascist USA.” Easily a thousand people. Zero NYPD presence.

Public media is essential to a healthy US. I can't even imagine trying to raise my kids without the amazing educational children's programming it provides join me in signing this pledge to support public media on this targeted day of action. protectmypublicmedia.org/pledge/

I'm so excited to listen to this episode of my favorite podcast, Everyday Anarchism, discussing my present literary obsession, Victor Serge pca.st/episode/b66a...

two words for google: FUCK YOU www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

two words: FUCK YOU www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

come assemble in public and defend our community from fascists

has Russia subverted Reagan and the US? the unfettered free market/ war on the working class has lead to undue Russian influence, some would say outright control, of the executive branch (with complete fealty from the other branches) of the US government.

There’s a kebab place in Limerick doing garlic cheese chips with hummus and schwarma on it

this is shameful

wow! this is what news looks like in a country that isn't a s*******

🇮🇪 🇵🇸

has anyone voiced the thought that perhaps Trump will commission a throne for his inauguration? not outside the realm of possibility.

for these corporations, it's all about preventing the office real estate market from collapsing. there's capital there. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

this is genocide #freePalestine

Imagine living in a country where you can be proud of your government for forcing a genocidal, colonial, murderous state to be compelled to close their embassy. someday I'll make the reverse emigration Not something my grandparents could have ever imagined. #freePalestine www.rte.ie/news/ireland...

I don't care about football, but I'm kind of horrified that they're working with absolute fundamentalist ghouls. I have given up on the NBA due to the silence on the Palestinian genocide and cozy up the fossil fuel States. www.theguardian.com/football/liv...

#genocideJoe is really a good man. I'm sad he won't be our president again. if he does a sex offense maybe he can get a job with Trump. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024...

these despicable human beings need to be brought to justice www.theguardian.com/world/2024/n...

One thing I haven't seen addressed as far as the horrible results of the election is that this is a natural consequence of gutting the US educational and welfare support system. it's rendered people incapable of critical thinking and voting in their own interests. idk that seems like a big cause.

this is a really compelling analysis of election results from the Guardian. My takeaway is that we need to be building more solidarity to create the society we need. Great to see someone use the data to highlight that. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

always great to remember the Irish history of solidarity with other colonized groups. on that note, f*** Trump.

I get hope when I remember it doesn't need to be saved. we do

anyone who is feeling the despair of this election and US imperialism in general should read some David Graeber. The world does not have to be this way and the stories the empire tells us about the world are not necessarily true. www.theguardian.com/books/2024/n...

yeah this pretty much sums it up perfectly 😣

All the f****** selfish garbage Boomer grandparents. while their children and grandchildren bear the brunt of this. Not even beginning to mention the horrors they're creating in the world. no shame

F*** me f*** genocideJoe Biden. talk about a s*** hole country!

if I were a betting man, I would bet everything I have that Trump will declare victory early tonight, like before 11:00 p.m. Eastern. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024...

anyone running for president who I respect would make threatening statements towards Dick Cheney, rather than wholeheartedly embracing his endorsement. Cheney is one side of the worst American living, Trump is the other, inheriting that title when Kissinger died. www.theguardian.com/us-news/live...

hardly surprising but should be spread widely.

I just need to shout into the void. I HATE THE AMERICAN HEALTHCARE SYSTEM. IT ONLY BENEFITS THE FINANCIAL + INSURANCE INDUSTRIES, NEVER PEOPLE OR CAREGIVERS. to put this in context, I supposedly have a "good" plan as a software developer. only the "free market" could design a system this bad.

I think it's really funny that people think Jeff bezos actually cares if people subscribe to the WaPo. he makes gajillions of dollars selling everything and providing the infrastructure for over half the internet (probably > 75%). he did not get into newspapers because they were a cash cow.

let's just remember that every one of the bombs that is being sent by Israel is directly paid for by the United States. thank you very much #genocideJoe

I can't wait to reread Our History is the Future. listen to this podcast. @nicke.bsky.social is drawing out a lot of the parallels I see in the present Zionist project in Palestine and US settler colonialism in relation to native peoples. pca.st/episode/b1f5...

all royalty should be heckled and harassed ALL THE TIME EVERYWHERE. thanks for being a role model Lidia Thorpe www.theguardian.com/australia-ne...

today's good news, those Zionist scumbags are going to use weapons the US paid for to start a war with Iran. this is going to be even more fun than Bush's garbage war to take Iraq's oil www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024...

open.substack.com/pub/steveahl... Brett Smiley is a disgrace. he hates the homeless and now is trying to ruin a great idea the Providence city council had to combat climate change. F fossil fuels

www.brown.edu/news/2024-10... BrownUniversity takes a despicable and cowardly move when provided the opportunity to stand up for human rights. #shame #freePalestine

The man is a tool. But he is totally right.

SHAME On the BostonGlobe for publishing this garbage piece that leads off with recounting the October 7th attacks while there is still a genocide occurring and crimes against community being committed by Israel. despicable Zionist propaganda. www.bostonglobe.com/2024/10/05/m...

www.theguardian.com/world/live/2... what a beautiful humanitarian thought. if only anyone could stop delivering arms to Israel then perhaps we could begin to solve this problem. not like #genocideJoe Biden could do anything about it.
