If you think the way the most powerful men treat their partners and families isn’t important, you’ve already fallen for their manipulation. The violence at home is part and parcel of their abuse of power

This is not anarchism, this is selfishness. Mutual aid is about those who have in the community giving to those who do not have. It's not that the giver must benefit. That's capitalism. Mutual aid as laid out by our ideology is about supporting all. @tichatnwa.bsky.social @161bklyn.bsky.social

The descent of Nate Silver into this… a man who refuses to believe his lying eyes about Musk by insisting on Great Man Theory, as though that isn’t ALSO a wildly discredited theory, just feels so obscene to watch. How does your brain rot THIS BADLY in the face of this OBVIOUS THREAT?

by the time of the convention, tlaib and the other dissenters were practically begging harris and the dem leadership to give them anything they could hang their hat on and the dems still refused

A judge ordered foreign aid to resume. Aid groups say it’s not happening. Instead, more than 200+ groups had their contracts terminated. Food is now rotting near starving people; some aid warehouses left unguarded. www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2025/...

If america starts as a nation built on inequality & after centuries of civil rights movements & legal milestones being put in place to protect its more vulnerable communities, it goes back to doubling down on genocide, slave labor, & hierarchies within 300 years… maybe it’s inherent to the nation.

Very much like the Iraq War, somehow "I thought Elon Musk was a genius until a couple years ago" is now considered the more respectable and serious opinion than "I knew he was a fraud for a decade and was never fooled by him."

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

Following Elon Musk, the world's richest man, two speakers at CPAC, Steve Bannon, who was pardoned by Donald Trump, and Mexican actor Eduardo Verástegui, have now given Nazi salutes. This is a major scandal + should push us all to mobilize, protest, and call out #CPAC for what it is: a Nazi rally.

at the risk of repeating myself and others (and with eternal rage at the centrist consultants who told harris/walz not to say shit like this), he's such a small, petty dickhead.

I don't think we're talking enough about the fact that the pressure to remove DEI from science means women die.

Judith Butler: "Once you decide that a single vulnerable minority can be sacrificed, you’re operating within a fascist logic, because that means there might be a second one you’re willing to sacrifice, and a third, a fourth, and then what happens?"

They make you say obviously absurd things to prove your loyalty and establish their power. It destroys your credibility, but that is something they clearly don’t value. Power and loyalty is all that matters.

I respect FIRE’s legal advocacy but reporters really need to stop using FIRE’s rankings unless you truly believe that campus speech is most free in southern states that have banned ideas and concepts from being taught in the classroom

This sort of gives away the "liberal deep state" nonsense. There has never been a Director of the FBI who was a Democrat. The Republican Directors were not targeting conservatives, if the word "conservative" has any meaning.

It is in no way a win that they are having turf battles over who gets to murder the DOE. I know you think they will ally with you over this. They won’t. They will just accept his blessing to do it all by themselves, like BIG boys.

Every time I spend myself in a government building and then transition back into a school, I find myself thinking that we really don’t like or value kids. We accept facilities issues in schools that would NEVER fly in a state capital or even county courthouse.

News Flash: fascists can take over the country while everyone still hates them. Bowing to them will not win you favors from the very unhappy populace. It certainly won’t help your sales.

I like Karl (to the extent I know them online), but this sort of sentiment just feels wrong to me. They aren’t in some sort of demoralization campaign. They want your shit. They are taking your shit. They are doing it fast bc it is more effective, sure. But that is secondary. 1/

You know that "Napoleon" quote Trump posted? It's credited to Napoleon right before he crowned himself emperor but it was made popular by white supremacists in 2011 by Anders Behring Breivik, the white supremacist terrorist who killed 77 people, many of them children, on an attack at a summer camp.

Just as a note, the “Basket of Deplorables” kerfuffle was also 100% this. They want you to feel uncomfortable saying “that’s wrong”.

"They asked my 6-year-old daughter if her dad was a gang member, if he had a gun ... My son, 9 years old, was crying. He's really sensitive. He kept trying to stop the agents from talking to his mom and sister like that, but they yelled at him to be quiet."
