i don't believe in rainbow capitalism but i do think it's vitally important that sports team pride nights continue to outsell the increasingly common harry potter night

anyway i’ll leave messaging and strategy to others on this topic, my main point is that the most important political project right now is replacing as many incumbent dems as possible and striking the fear of god into those that remain

At least three Palestinians killed in overnight Israeli attacks on Gaza https://aje.news/fjy4k3

The World Cup should not be held in the United States.

Also, people are still being killed in Gaza in cold blood basically every day. Just don’t want to loose sight of that. Also also, the US government withdrew food aid from Somalia yesterday. Thousands will die.

Just days into 2026, the killing of 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good by a federal immigration officer in Minneapolis, Minnesota, has sparked protests around the US. If you’re planning to protest, here’s how to safeguard your digital security.

The sheer number of videos of the shooting is horrific, but in the vein of what @prisonculture.bsky.social has been saying, it proves how many people cared enough to show up where ICE was and record them. It wasn't just one or two legal observers, and when Good was shot, they didn't abandon her.

Shout of to the woman who filmed the circulating footage of the Minnesota ICE shooting, that was genuinely dangerous and she did an incredible job of recording of an extremely dark day in American history. There were many brave people there, but that particular footage has made any spin impossible.

The respectability policing that goes on after cops or federal agents (who are also cops, y'all) kill someone is always unbearable. Dissecting the actions of the victim, putting them on trial when they cannot defend themselves, declaring they should have done this or that. Did they deserve to die?!

kind of darkly funny that "gender studies" is the stereotypical "useless degree" because gender studies will help you understand a large and important chunk of the current psychosis in american life

In this in-depth interview Billie Jean Sweeney — a former editor at The New York Times — details how the paper shifted towards openly promoting anti-trans hatred, why this was directed from the very top, how some staff pushed back and the immense damage done by the NYT legitimizing bigotry.

From repurposed footage filmed years ago in different parts of the world, to AI images and videos of Maduro's arrest, social media platforms like X, Instagram and TikTok were flooded with disinformation within minutes of America's assault on #Venezuela www.wired.com/story/disinf...

It’s time for the world to Boycott, Divest and Sanction the U.S Avoid the Olympics, World Cup and other sporting events. There’s no reason to celebrate the 250 birthday of this fallen nation

The propaganda machine around this assault on Venezuela is insane. It kicked up so fast, acting as if America just arrested a drug dealer holed up in Miami as opposed to what really happened: the unprovoked, illegal invasion of a sovereign nation and the extrajudicial capture of its leader.

if you are talking today about how bad maduro was and were alive, at all, during the run-up to the iraq war you are potentially the dumbest person to ever live

So we may have found the single most unpopular thing Trump has done in 2025 - the vainglorious renaming of the Kennedy Center after himself (via Economist/YouGov): 18% approve, 66% disapprove

An unlabeled, 12-second video from the most recent DOJ Jeffrey Epstein files drop is circulating social media, purporting to show Epstein’s suicide in his prison cell. But it’s actually a fake clip from 2019. Here’s how it wound up in the latest Epstein files dump.

Now seems like a swell time to point out that Frontline just released this excellent 11-minute mini-documentary about what happened inside CECOT.

CATO INSTITUTE: Despite DOGE slashing jobs, government spending in every month of 2025 “was greater than in every other year .. An observer who did not know when DOGE started could not identify it” on a chart. 🤡 www.cato.org/blog/doge-pr...

In a national address, US President Donald Trump claimed the Gaza truce he helped broker brought peace to the Middle East “for the first time in 3,000 years.” Trump’s statement comes despite ongoing Israeli ceasefire violations and near-daily attacks on Gaza.

Watching this video Hank Green did about AI pissed me off so much I had to go for a walk, multiple straight up falsehoods on top of pumping out effective altruist AI doomerist bullshit about models being "out of control". Unbelievable www.youtube.com/watch?v=90C3...

Congress is trying to force through mass surveillance/censorship laws THIS WEEK BOOST THIS EVERYWHERE before it’s too late. 👇 www.badinternetbills.com Call and tell your rep: —NO to KOSA —NO to Section 230 reform —NO online digital ID laws —NO age verification laws

I fuckin love Franklin.

every trans person i see post about the OU suspension knows that the suspended target is trans & a grad student, & has an innate awareness that this is about purging trans employees. every cis person i see thinks the target is a rando professor & that this is about giving conservatives good grades

i’ll never understand why public transit haters discourage use of public transit and want to defund it. if less people use cars the roads will have less traffic and you’ll get to where you want faster with your own car. stupid people

Hey so Trump is gonna slaughter the people of Venezuela right before our eyes and we’re going to do nothing, do I have that right?

A reminder for those who are not aware: "remigration" is the process of deporting all non-white people from a country. It includes citizens and is, by definition, ethnic cleansing. And to be clear: this is not fake. I just screenshot it myself.
