Why do people act like bad shit started with Trump. Trump saying no masks at universities, protests, etc were the same fucking policies democrats endorsed to undermine pro-Palestinian protests for the LAST 15 MONTHS. And disabled people had to BEG for protesters to wear masks. Two of the most

A lot of changes have happened in immigration policy really quickly, but you still have constitutional rights regardless of your citizenship. I spoke to immigration lawyers and advocates about how DC residents can protect themselves, and each other, from ICE. @51st.news 51st.news/how-to-defen...

Imma say that haircut cost him 350 bucks easy.

If you're wondering about the vibe in Canada right now, I just got served this ad for a brewhouse that is just a portrait of the White House being burned down. No text, just a bigass picture of the White House burning and a link directly to their menu lolol

this is all a dominance play, but the problem they're running into is that it's so hamhanded and insulting that they're making it functionally impossible to actually capitulate even right wing populists in other countries are going to have to get on the Fuck America train out of political necessity

Percent of school vouchers that go to religious institutions (schools and the churches that run them): Florida - 82% Arizona ESP - 87% (older AZ program: 96%) North Carolina - 92% Ohio - 91% Wisconsin - 96% Indiana - 98%

We’re 30+ years in to the Fox News era, Chuck et al should have wondered why there’s no GOP senator who consults with an imaginary Democratic family or why there are zero calls from the media for Republicans to have “viewpoint diversity” and stopped trying to kick the football Lucy keeps teeing up

fuck charles schumer that is all

There's literaly an mRNA vaccine to treat pancreatic cancer in the works. It's shown promising results in a Phase 1 trial. Most people with pancreatic cancer are dead within 5 years. It's what killed Patrick Swayze.

this was an intensely clarifying (for me) quote from Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor @keeanga.bsky.social .

The stock market is tanking so badly it almost feels like we are being governed by someone who went bankrupt six tim— oh.

I made this version for LA with a call script included since that is what I find hard about contacting reps!

When coordinating demos in the 2010s, we focused on getting people to not panic and run away from the cops. When one person ran, two would run, etc., making everyone less safe, but if people didn't immediately flee, the cops had to back off and couldn't handle the crowd. The lesson is generalizable.

As demonstrations against Musk and ICE continue to grow and Trump makes draconian screeds against the right to protest, we should also be aware that corporations are attempting to attack social movements at every turn. truthout.org/video/dapl-p...

(1/3) It needs repeating: in 1994, Ukraine was persuaded to give up its nuclear weapons to Russia in return for the US, the UK, and Russia guaranteeing Ukraine’s sovereignty, security, and territorial integrity.

there’s literally a dysentery outbreak in portland right now. one of my most treasured liberties is actually “paying taxes and public utility bills to ensure i will not shit myself to death”

The best strategy here is outright defiance. Protest anyway. Force the institution to show its true colors. They will come after you no matter what you do, so it’s better to fight now while you stoll can. It’s safer at the front.

we need to organize where we already are embedded in community in some way. talk in small groups, find out what smaller battles matter to people, and organize to win those. this meets real material needs AND strengthens us for bigger battles, ultimately the battle to wrest power from the fascists.

I’m so excited to reveal the cover of THE PEOPLE’S PROJECT. @maggiesmithpoet.bsky.social and I have spent the last few months reaching out to the people we ourselves turn to for clarity and hope. This anthology of twenty-six writers is a community in book form.

Of course the main story is Trump’s authoritarianism. But the secondary story is that some university presidents and donors called for this. They went on the news and in front of Congress to claim their students were violent antisemites, funded by Iran, who don’t deserve speech rights

the prison guards began striking b/c they’re not allowed to use the insanely cruel tactic of solitary confinement and now 7 inmates have died. in my time as a public defender i had multiple clients attempt and a few successfully complete suicide when placed on solitary confinement. abolition now.
