I donโt think this is exactly whatโs going on, or all thatโs going on. Itโs not that Republicans are constructing an elaborate psychological defense against evidence that Trump is a rapist. Itโs that they like that heโs a rapist, and they like rape: it enacts the power of the strong over the weak.
The vile attacks on Amy Acton need to be seen in the context of a party that *needs* people to believe women fabricating sexual assaults is common as rainwater. Because itโs pretty much the only way to evade the conclusion that the president is a rapist.
I canโt recommend this documentary to all artists and creatives. The mall apartment is real, and itโs cool, but the real story is teacher and artist Michael Townsend, who creates โtemporary graffitiโ murals with tape.
Thatโs also why Vivek isnโt exactly lying when he says he didnโt mean to say Acton lied about being raped as a child. He doesnโt think she lied; he thinks that being raped disqualifies her from office, because she belongs to the class of people power is wielded against, not the class that wields it.
Thanks to @msmagazine.com for this thoughtful writeup of my book, which comes out on Tuesday.
"The collateral damage of abortion restrictions is proving vast and pervasive."
As we begin to wind down our response to DANA Adam in Spain, WCK teams are serving meals to impacted families. We've worked with our local restaurant partners and organizations like Ford, and we'll continue to rely on these partners as they care for their neighbors. #ChefsForSpain

Beyond disgusted by even more rape allegations against the President of the United States.
"In total, more than 25 different women...have independently accused Donald Trump of rape, sexual assault, or other sexual misconduct."

Over 6,200 members voted in NYC-DSA's convention delegate elections to fill ~440 seats.
What I like most about this process is that it motivates the prioritization of RELATIONAL organizing, which has a cohering effect.
May the Left's campaigns for PUBLIC office be increasingly executed similarly.
โCyclists are often perceived as recklessly flaunting road laws. A new study challenges this perception. The study found only 5% of cyclists broke road rules while riding on bike infrastructure versus 66% of motorists who broke rules while driving.โ
Safe bike infrastructure fuels rule-following.
Note how the mayor-elect won by getting people in suburban wards to vote for them rather than by appealing exclusively to voters who live downtown *cough*
"I'm hearing Lula rigged the election. He's a strong man. Not so nice, they say. But strong. Very strong. They whine and they whine. Even here. It doesn't matter. I don't like losers. Never have. Four times! I love that for Lula, I really do. We could do with some of that here, couldn't we folks?"
In January, ActiveHistory.ca launched a special series examining the Indian Act and it history. I wrote a short piece, as an introduction, that lays out some of the basics and included a selected reference list: activehistory.ca/blog/2026/01...
if you want to follow ANYTHING from what elected Lula here in brazil, this is the most important lesson and change of mindset that happened here
just don't give them the attention they want. let them speak amongst themselves and let us win by silencing them with our voices
The online part was important too, of course. We collectively decided to not interact with any right wing post or comment ever. Trolls and bots lost their power. This is a good lesson.

Canadians, we need to take notice of this. We donโt fight with much might, but look where strength in numbers, conviction based on real needs for the people, look where it can get you. ๐๐พ๐๐พ๐๐พ
Artist Hozier calls on the Irish government to swiftly approve the visa applications for 55 students in Gaza during Macklemoreโs โFree Palestineโ tour in Dublin, Ireland.
looking at all the basic social and familial relationships that weird paid losers are telling us they delight in using chatbots for, and โ if you believe them, anyway โ I guess Iโd say you can forget about reading and writing, because simply interacting with human beings is going to be a niche skill
One of the most vocal artists on Earth against the genocide, against poverty, violence against women and children, homelessness etc etc
We absolutely adore Hozier, his heart is definitely in the right place, he's a man of true integrity and a brilliant artist as well.

NEW: DSA's National Political Committee passed two resolutions today aimed at Los Angeles mayoral candidate Nithya Raman, beginning processes that could result in DSA-LA being forced to rescind its endorsement of her this weekend and/or Raman herself being expelled from DSA by January.
Just deinstalled my last show of the year & wanted share the documentation of my piece Black Cathedral. Everything about making art this year has been a slog but creating Black queer otherworlds and taking up space in this one with my queer and trans sibs has been worth it vimeo.com/1121396204
In August, the Trump administration flew 12 Somali immigrants to an ICE facility at Guantanamo Bay.
โNobody tell us that weโre going to Guantanamo Bay,โ Sakariye Abdi Mohamed told journalist Amanda Moore in a phone call from the detention facility. โJust like kidnapping.โ
I still just find the idea that nonbinary people are somehow not materially oppressed like the real transsexuals are very funny. Like do you really think people with they/them pronouns on their CVs have an equal opportunity at employment? Lmao.
I am b e g g i n g people to mask up at major cons, *especially* ones with 5-digit crowd sizes!!
Lightbox this weekend was absolutely ravaged; Iโm hearing of SO many attendees and exhibitors who got sick from doing the show this year!! Please stay safe out there! ๐ ๐
WATCH: A defense contractor CEO and his close associates donated nearly $900,000 to dozens of politicians and got over $40 million a year in government funding.
He told the FBI that Sen. Susan Collins was his most important patron.

Campaigns and their allies are making their closing arguments, and theyโve spent more than a handful of states' annual budgets. https://to.pbs.org/4i3ilKU
