Refrigerated morgue trucks outside the hospitals are a hell of a thing to forget

That time Obama proclaimed May Day “Loyalty Day,” and encouraged people to pledge allegiance to the flag instead of getting out and demonstrating.

Remember back in 2022 when the NFL’s @patriots.bsky.social helped ICE disappear people?

Here's blue maga Rep. Hakeem Jefferies, having Black activists who confronted him on his genocidal policies in Palestine and Haiti thrown out. Tomorrow, if Hakeem Jefferies ran for president under a blue maga genocidal democrat banner and lost, idiotic liberals will blame Leftists, minorities, etc.

And no one will stop them. No government will stand up and say, "Halt this genocide or face consequences." Not one.

He's the MINORITY Leader because Democrats lost the Senate. You are by definition not doing "very well!"

I think that the tariffs debacle is going to be more destructive than I can imagine right now and I feel like I'm in a slow motion dream walking in drying cement.

Very funny to see liberals in the replies discovering that there were leftists in America for a long time and considering it a horrifying secret like Ben Affleck finding out his family owned slaves or something lol

All of the supply chain stuff has made me think about COVID a lot and something that really stuck in my head this time was how in like 2021 every company was like "thanks to our valiant employees we are THRIVING - exploring a new world of remote work and work-life balance."

you don’t get ratios like this on twitter anymore

If I had to think about what the single worst response I could muster up for the question of whether or not a very good friend’s impassioned plea for compassion and to have a care for their trans child (who I presumably also know) had moved me whatsoever, it would probably be, “Oh, heavens no.”

good job kiddos now if you’re looking for tips and strategies for working in coalition against a powerful amoral force, maybe ask some of the students and professors you suspended last year they’re good at it

I really really want to stress that novovax is the covid vaccine preferred by a lot of people in the disability advocacy space. Disability advocates have pushed hard to maintain access for this vaccine that's not as well known as Moderna or Pfizer, but is better tolerated by a lot of people

I’m assembling a team of the least media savvy political leaders in history

Never forget The New York Times recruited, further enriched, celebrated, and refused to fire the most vindictive McCarthyite since the 1950s, a MAGA operative who is now trying to end Wikipedia.

everyone on their side of things understands how much of a problem collective bargaining is for them.

Israel has carried out an air strike in southern Beirut, with footage showing a huge plume of smoke rising over the southern suburbs of Dahiyeh.

"Abolish ICE" and "defund the police" are both reasonable and correct on the merits but were absolutely neutered by centrists smearing them as radical activist overreach.

Have to say that seeing people get sent to the ER lately “just to get tested for measles” is triggering some feelings and they are not good. I’m not doing this again. We have far fewer resources than the last time these freaks put us through this…which is really gonna suck for people that get sick.

I can think of literally ONE Democrat who ran on "defund the police". He won his election for City Controller of Los Angeles in a landslide (61% to 39%). Mejia received more votes than any LA citywide candidate in history including Karen Bass and all previous mayors.

Defund the police was a bad slogan, which is why it took massive expenditures of political and financial capital along with the deployment of widespread state violence to suppress it, and also why everyone knows it and we're still talking about it five years later

The number of Palestinians killed by Israel in Gaza since dawn has now risen to 50 people, medical sources tell Al Jazeera. 🔴 LIVE updates ⤵️

It's funny to me because the fascists are currently defunding the Fed government. Taking money from things people seem to want (science, arts, health care, etc...) & planning to distribute it to their rich friends AND to the prison industrial complex. Is this difficult for folks to understand? Nope

Defund the Police. Abolish ICE. Two absolutely great ideas that have never been tried. There are a whole bunch of other bangers too, just ready and waiting to make a better world! De-Schumerize and WIN.

CHUCK SCHUMER: We sent him [Trump] a very strong letter just the other day. DANA BASH: You'll let us know if you get a response to that letter.

What should really drive this point home for folks, imo, is that ICE has even been targeting people who are loosely accused by police of the lowest of violations. Just being in any sort of police database is enough to get people kidnapped these days. The system has to be torn up

Welp

I love these silicon valley bros that think ChatGPT has achieved some kind of sentience and therefore might have rights. Like dudes, you don't even think poor people deserve rights, let's try to achieve that before giving person-hood to the autocomplete algorithm.

I'm very suspicious of white people who, when in the company of BIPOC, constantly talk about "nonviolence" and "peaceful protest" a lot. Those kinda white people often do not care about the liberation of BIPOC from capitalism and white supremacy. Those are the kinda white people I like to avoid.

Oh so the big tech guys that are all insane reactionaries made a machine that sexually abuses children and has a history of being trained on and making child pornography? Shocking.

Everyone who called me a doomer for saying politically motivated arrests would begin within three months can earn my forgiveness by sending me $100 today
