The Democrats in a nutshell...

Current mood today - complete anomie from American society. And yes, I know the video for this was made in Brazil. But there's a lot to relate to here. youtube.com/playlist?lis...

The political duopoly in the United States is especially irritating today...I think it's an open question as to whether the Democrats under Trump are any more effective than opposition parties in Russia. They might be less so.

Actually Labour is unfair and indefensible.

Solidarity today with international students who might be targeted for having a pro-Palestinian position. Solidarity with Palestinians themselves. Fuck Trump.

Really looking forward to this. Every year there's like 6 films I've seen and 20 I haven't, so I use it as a guide for what to watch over the next year. I am rooting for "I Saw the TV Glow" though!

Losers gonna lose

the shift in power inside the German left tonight –– from antideutsch to antiracist, from Wagenknecht to Koçak –– is a great reason for everyone living in Germany to commit themselves to making a difference in the coming years

The rise of the far-right in Germany is scary, but I'm glad to see Die Linke winning 8.5% or more of the vote, even after their right-wing anti-immigrant, anti-trans faction split off. The Left will be represented in Germany regardless of what happens.

THESE DOGS BITE FASCISTS

I would say I'm boycotting Fremont over this, but I've literally never had a reason to go to Fremont, so...there's that. www.kron4.com/news/fremont...

Just discovered how feeds on here work so I thought I should write something about #disability, but I'm pretty terrible about taking care of myself. So, erm. Disabled rights are civil rights, even if we're medically avoidant and bad at talking about things.

The police is asking to keep bookshop owners Ahmad and Mahmoud Mona in custody for 8 (!!) more days. A demonstration outside the court calling for their release, and diplomats from some eight countries are in the court. "Fascism is burning us". Via @nirhasson.bsky.social

Really good article on the developing situation in Germany, with a lot of lessons for anti-fascists in the United States. We need to organize. socialistworker.co.uk/anti-racism/...

I hate the country that I live in, but I love the city that I live in. Once you're here, it's hard to leave behind. Welcoming immigrants is kind of core to the ideology of San Francisco is a way that isn't the case with every city in the US (sans New York and a few others) youtu.be/XTFnUX_ACvU?...

It's not the time to retreat; it's time to fight back. redflag.org.au/article/trum...

Join CA Governor Candidate @butchware.bsky.social and Laura Wells as they discuss building an anti-imperialist political party to challenge the two-party system and fight for real change. Let’s talk strategy, culture, and movement-building. bit.ly/4asG5mc #cagreens #greenparty #news

I took my South American fiance to an Indian restaurant and now he's calling me "Señor Picante" 😅

So, I wanna like Ben Miller from Bad Gays. But he posts a lot of things that are bad. Like opera. And appeals to the supposed liberalism of Gavin Newsom. Dude, it's all bad. At least the second one. Don't be a Bad Gay!

www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025... Agreeing with Steve Bannon on something is not something I thought I'd ever experience. Maybe him and Elon Musk can take each other out and the world will be better off. H-1B visas really are problematic though. Expand immigration, but not for exploitation.

www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025... I wish I had something witty to say about her getting pies in the face in the afterlife, but man. It's just reminding me of the long history of homophobia and transphobia in this country. One generation of right-wing sex weirdos dies, another takes their place.

The new Socialist Worker is out now. Our front page reads: "After Musk triggers racist offensive..." We must beat back the right✊🏿✊🏾✊🏼 #StandUpFightBack #AntiFascista 📚Read more at socialistworker.co.uk

So, social media is basically dead. Finally getting rid of my Facebook account, but I may check in here every once in awhile.
