It seems like ai boosters are competing with each other to write the most unhinged pathetic shit you've ever seen and they're all REALLY good at it

I know Amy is a huge piece of shit, but do liberals believe this garbage? The FBI radicalized this kid for two years and then helped him plan a mass shooting, sold him a gun, and we're supposed to believe the KID is the terrorist?

I became an anarchist after listening to a free audiobook of The Conquest of Bread. I'm proud to contribute my voice and stumbling French pronunciations back to @audible-anarchist.bsky.social youtu.be/eA96SeuyHec?... this essay is an interesting early analysis of the financiers of the global MIC

Another journal review request for a paper I am perfectly suited to review, thanks to my publications. Hoisted by my own petard 😫

mass shooter administration

Remembering Fred Hampton born Aug. 30, 1948, assassinated Dec. 4, 1969 by Chicago police and the FBI

Grandma, where were you during the Holocaust of Gaza?

I think one reason that prisons, and by extension the entire criminal justice system, are able to be as barbaric as they are is that prisons and prisoners are for the large part invisible. That's why I think PJP is so important for those inside as well as for humanity at large

communism is not why your rent has skyrocketed. it's not why Blackrock is buying up millions of houses. communists are not the CEOs of health insurance companies nor are they building data centers. they weren't in the epstein files or on his island

Anniversary of a good man murdered by monsters

i know you’re looking for it. here she is, girls. here she is, world

Generations from now, learning that your g g g grandpa/ma was a cop, CO, prosecutor, judge, ice agent, DHS, etc will be shameful and horrifying. Like learning your family owned slaves is today

no amount of peaceful protest is gonna stop armed agents of the state from executing people on the street

My baseline is that advertising is disgusting, it approaches screen smashing existential anger when I'm trying to read a poem online and it's interrupted by the dogshit piles of the internet

If you're part of this massive heat wave, give a thought to all the folks in your community who are stuck outdoors

got mad and spent a bunch of money at a bookstore about it

"whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it" 🙋🏻‍♂️ I am advocating for abolishing this government by any means necessary

After ICE deported Wendy Hernandez Reyes, it turned her 3-year-old son Orlin over to her sister’s estranged partner, who tortured Orlin and beat him to death. I can’t say what I think should happen to those responsible without violating this website’s TOS. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

I don't want students to think I'm cool. I want them to think I'm cringe and lame as hell and then in ten years think that I was also smart.

So we're 3 for 3 on democrat governors sending the cops to attack protesters against ICE concentration camps. Why would we not view these politicians as fascist collaborators? Or as fascists themselves?

2/2 this weekend for "guy in my direct eye line is watching Anaconda (2025) on the plane"

One fun thing about conferences is I let a book or two take a trip across the country just to see the sights before going back on the shelf (did not open/read)

In the hallowed halls of "every accusation is a confession", none loom so large as American capitalists saying " the communists want to take over the world by force and turn you into slaves with no rights"

The two kinds of Nextdoor posts in rural GA.

My favorite professor's contract wasn't renewed 😑 academia is so stupid

saw this on an ACT UP poster from 1988 at the Poster House museum today. the more things change :)

Happy birthday to John Brown, who knew exactly how to handle the south’s “Peculiar Institution”

welcome to the democratic party where a keffiyeh is disqualifying and a totenkopf isn't. please chip in $50 today so we can end fascism

Trying to find any remaining respect for liberals within me so I can discard it but I'm coming up empty 🤷🏻‍♂️

On Anarchism.

Greta Thunberg is right.

Doing a conference presentation on Marxism cured my depression

We didn't deserve this day.
