I know there’s a lot going, but 19 Republican AGs have said—in writing!—that pro-choice speech should be criminalized. Thats a Big Fucking Deal and it blows my mind that more people aren’t talking about it

Once mass spam texts were made legal, younger donors vanished, leaving a grassroots fundraising machine that subsists on squeezing vulnerable seniors, some of whom give hundreds of times a day. It’s a horrific model. Consultants get generationally wealthy, and the party hollows out its future.

no amnesty

Having the pictures of these two men here really helps clarify things. After all, they clearly aren't worried about being kidnapped by ICE, shot by police, having their rights stripped away, or inequality.

Is there any historical parallel to Israel’s indoctrination of US Jews to the extent they would not only support a genocidal govt abroad but also vote against domestic liberal allies?

one thing I'm gonna say is: more horn sections and drumlines at protests please.

🧵🧵🧵 The NY Times posted a 15-minute video today in which I got to tell NYT what’s wrong with its coverage. They said they saw my critical posts on Bluesky and invited me to do a video with them to air my grievances. Weird, right? I didn’t hold back. I blasted their sanewashing of MAGA extremism.

why does the media repeatedly demand Abdul El-Sayed answer for everything Hasan Piker says because of the time they did an event together, but not demand every Republican candidate answer for stuff Elon Musk, the largest GOP donor in '24 and '26, says?

"raises serious questions" is fighting for its life

It is ALWAYS that deep

I reviewed Deana Lawson's latest exhibit, "Edge Control," an examination of how surveillance and race intersect. Shoplifter footage from security cameras in beauty supply stores is recontextualized to demonstrate that looking is as political as it is intimate. www.theguardian.com/artanddesign...

I’m sure this will get the same attention as basket of deplorables and Biden’s garbage comment…

I went on FB to sell stuff before I move and ended up jumping in the comments of a post by Zionist I haven’t seen since high school 🤦🏻‍♂️

On Monday I was grateful to attend a Yizkor service organized by @jfrejnyc.bsky.social @rabbis4ceasefire.bsky.social Kolot Chaiyenu and others. I gave to givebutter.com/5787-tzedaka... in their honor and because forced famine goes against my Jewish values. Every life is sacred.

If you're a white guy who's craving community or looking for a pathway into tangible and sustained action, this is the place for you. If you've wished you had somewhere to send the white guys in your org who care but don't know where to start, this is that place.

We’ve been working toward this for a long time!

If you've been angry, grieving, or fired up about where things are headed — but haven't known where to put it — come build with us. Energy into Action is a mass meeting for white men committed to collective liberation: Wed, Sept 30th, 8:30 PM EDT. www.mobilize.us/surj/event/1...

Coming back on Bluesky just to ask @jamellebouie.net where he got the shirt he's wearing in today's (excellent!) take

From policing to Palestine, the NYT consistently frames issues in ways that undermine our collective liberation. hellgatenyc.com/mamdani-crit...

After they are done with the Haitians the chains are for us

I think you're forgetting an important distinction. Vance, Yarvin and Thiel are all white

The irony of course is that Zionism was conceived as an answer to antisemitism, and most Jewish supporters still see it that way. But when you yoke the fortunes of a small, hyper-visible global minority to the actions of a belligerent pariah state, it can cause dangerous blowback

these people really want to make "racist" akin to a slur rather than what it is, a straightforward label for a set of beliefs and views. if you don't like the label because you, correctly, associate it with degenerate chuds, then get better beliefs

The Plot to Destroy America's Schools is a key pillar of The Plot To Enslave America

“The Trump administration has over 10 times as many of these super-rich appointees as the Biden, Obama, and George W. Bush administrations.”

It really annoys me when we act like socialism or any collectivism is some strange alchemy only known to its high wizards. Marx SAW. He did not invent. People figure out collective action and class warfare by looking out their front door.

I sincerely believe they could have ridden “They Weird, Yo” all the way to the White House.

Private prisons making $1.4 billion charging corrupt ICE bureaucracy $307,000 “per bed” as top 15 cops in San Francisco make average of $700,000 is why shifting resources from systems of incarceration to systems of care is one of the most popular policies in 40 years of polling.

Thread 🧵

I’m on vacation but I gotta say, as much fun as it is to debate woke1 and Hasan Piker, the Trump administration is currently engaged in mass murder on the high seas as surely as any serial killer or lynch mob. And viewed from the distance of vacation, The Discourse doesn’t seem to give a shit.

For years now, Dems and others who once cared about BLM and Black causes in general have quietly abandoned the cause. It was a defiance that was coded and hidden, in attempts to return to the status quo without being too obvious. Now it's just full throated, unabashed abandonment. Explicit.

I personally think it's more embarrassing to misunderstand and/or misrepresent the "defund" movement's demands than to support them. I refuse to feel ashamed for wanting to pour resources into care and life giving institutions instead of cages and killing.

THREAD. Contrary to what you are being told, 40 years of polling have established that shifting money away from police/prisons toward social services is one of the most popular public policies among *all* political demographics. But it's not just that, it goes way deeper.

THREAD. You should ask yourself who at the New York Times made the editorial decision to use the term "moderates" to describe a group of people who have some of the most factually indefensible and extreme position in the history of post World War II politics. And then ask why.

“At a moment when policymakers are seeking to understand America’s sluggish learning recovery, the loss of teachers and instability in schools deserves to be on the list of plausible contributors.” I left teaching in 2021. I miss it but can’t imagine going back
