notice the general mood of the timeline? how everyone is in a good mood and there’s a lot less misery and dooming? how there’s a lot of “we’re going to beat these assholes”?

anyway that’s why these events are important

this rocks. when indiana edu killed the student newspaper, Purdue stepped up, printed the forbidden issue, drove it to Bloomington and stocked the boxes.

The Regime's goal is to grind everyone down. Plain & simple. Our goal is to refuse this by taking turns to fight where and how we can. When one group needs to bow out, then another group needs to step in and so on. We don't all have to do everything. We can all do something though. Stay in the fight

You have to understand that there is NO accountability for ICE even in theory. You can't sue an ICE agent. They won't be criminally prosecuted for violating your rights. They won't be fired. THE ONLY WAY TO PROTECT YOURSELF FROM ICE IS TO RUN FROM ICE.

This is now more than double the NASA budget, which the White House wants to slash.

Turns out most people don't really like being invaded

Heh! Sorry man…you a never do Malört alone…it’s supposed to taste like a cold Tuesday morning in February, where you got sprayed by street sludge feels…gotta remind ourselves that our awesome city is rough sometimes 😂

I mean, at least ONE bureaucrat understood that strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government…

And before Social Security existed, old people worked until they DIED and if they couldn’t work, would commit suicide to avoid being a burden on their families especially if they were disabled.

Taking care of the OLD is also how we create a proper humane society you fucks lmao

Precisely this.

'Vance is conflating “I don’t like Charlie Kirk and here’s why” with “I think Charlie Kirk should be murdered.” These sentences sound the same only to someone who thinks people they don’t like should be murdered. Curious.' 🔥

Trump announces ‘sick, dangerous’ Antifa will be designated ‘a major terrorist organization’ By Victor Nava Published Sep. 17, 2025, 9:13 p.m. ET

And here it is. Fuck.

Canceling Jimmy Kimmel show is not about Charlie Kirk, just like going after universities was not about antisemitism and occupying DC was not about fighting crime.

Seriously, don’t put your names on protest lists, don’t have face unlock on your phones, don’t trust that the system will protect you because very often it won’t…

…and listen to Imani. She has some good advice, forged by years in reproductive justice. Opsec is for everyone! Stay safe out there!

I had to go online to figure out what nonsense this was on about and seriously, are people so enraged to get good opsec advice from all lawyers or is it just the Black ones? Because “don’t put your names on protest lists” was old good advice when I started volunteering with the NLG a decade ago…

Stay safe out there, folks ❤️

if that news is true, don't say anything you wouldn't want to see screenshotted and spread all over right wing media

Well shit the video of Kirk taking one to the neck is rough. No blood or gore but he definitely takes a round to the neck in front of a large crowd.

This is going to get quite quite bad now. The republicans are going to be out for blood.

Stay safe yall.

Illinois' law is clear: No ICE detention centers in our state. And if it's used to detain people, it's a detention center. That's why Broadview must be shut down.

Map of COVID vaccine availability by state

🚨 UPDATE on the current COVID vaccine access situation in the US.

Please note that this is based on state laws but different things may be happening on the ground, and some pharmacies are defaulting to federal guidelines instead of state laws.

Education doesn't really improve bigotry, but consequences sure the fuck does.

I’m sure you have! And I’m not saying you’re wrong, I’m just saying that they do serve a purpose, even if it’s just to give folks an avenue through which to get involved in a more impactful way if they haven’t before ❤️

The one thing I will say about KYR presentations is it’s an amazing way to help build community amongst like-minded folks. I can’t begin to tell you the amount of people I’ve seen get tapped into greater actions and efforts who started by going to a KYR presentation.

It’s a terrifying time in history because there is no pact to oppose it. Only everyday people can change this through solidarity and action. There is no one to lead. We must all be leaders

So sick of these centrist impurity tests. Not everyone can meet your standards of being a huge piece of shit, sometimes you have to just grit your teeth and vote for someone good even if that goes against your principles

Excerpt from Alexis de Tocqueville's "Democracy in America". Text reads: "I will cite but a single example to illustrate what I mean. Only two means of action are provided for under American civil and criminal law: imprisonment and bail. In any legal pro-ceeding, the first step is to obtain bail from the defendant, or, if he declines, to incarcerate him. Only afterward is the validity of the title or the gravity of the charge discussed. Such legislation is obviously directed against the poor and favors only the rich. The poor man cannot always make bail, even in a civil case, and if he is compelled to await justice in prison, enforced idleness will soon reduce him to misery. By contrast, the rich man can always avoid imprisonment in a civil case. Worse yet, if he has committed a crime, he can easily avoid punishment by vanishing after making bail. Thus all the penalties of the law are for him reduced to fines. What legislation could be more aristocratic than this?"

Alexis de Tocqueville's best-known work was his classic study "Democracy in America," analyzing our living standards and system of government during his travels here

He noted America's cash bail system was aristocratic horseshit way back in *1835*

190 years ago:

Anyone who looks at America in 2025 and thinks, "maybe we can fix this by throwing trans people under the bus"

1) doesn't have the brains to understand what's going on or how we got here

2) doesn't have the stomach for any of the fights ahead

and

3) is vice signaling to their MAGA friends.
