It’s what makes brunch possible

You can't... repeal... a scientific finding. At that point it's just called lying about it.

i think this is exactly right. fascism is the Death Drive as ideology. it's why the catastrophic end of the Nazi Party does not deter people from worshipping Nazis. that the Nazis destroyed Germany along with the rest of Europe is part of the appeal.

Street corner in the mission district in San Francisco, CA. There is a traffic light lit yellow, right underneath that is a guerilla street sign made to look identical to a regular city street sign that says "ABOLISH ICE". Behind that is the entire facade of a building covered with various giant colorful art pieces/tags.

When Mariame Kaba told us that hope is a discipline, I always understood that to mean "I am hopeful in so far as I do". I have never felt an unfounded optimism, but organizing for 20+ years has showed me that so much more is possible.

Part of it is, I know, that they are simply liars trying to whip up a mob, that they don't know or care what truth is, but part of it is that they live such grim, hateful, alienated lives that the idea of people helping each other in pursuit of social good is an existential threat to them

This is the single funniest excuse he could have come up with for not wanting to be booed in public

Guess it's time to repost this.

I cannot imagine the devastation this family is experiencing today. This statement is powerful and must be read.

I don’t mock anybody for looking after their health - you do what you have to do. But I don’t agree with the lectures to ‘be kind to yourself’ & ‘not watch the video.’ If possible you do need to see what the state does in your name, with your money, to people you know & who look like you.

I do not regret to inform you that we are going to win.

Thousands outside Terminal 1 at the Minneapolis airport now.

It's -20 in Minneapolis and organizers are in the streets before dawn getting ready for actions related to the general strike. They've had locals training out-of-town volunteers on how to prepare for and endure the cold. AND IT IS WORKING. THE STRIKE IS HAPPENING. THE CITY IS DOING THE DAMN THING...

Solidarity with Minneapolis today. Feels like the whole world of decent people is on your side.

god's eepiest soldier KAWAII INNIT - 3d - Reply?

actually, you know what, messenger's ai assistant? i think god's eepiest soldier will be okay if i don't reply to "KAWAII INNIT" from 3 days ago, thank you though

somebody said that everyone in this Peanuts strip is correct and I think about that—and the strip—a lot.

As a documentarian, I am trained to look for the narrative arc in the chaos, but as a father the lens is much narrower, and far more fragile. My teenage son is old enough now to read the tension in the headlines and in the faces of his friends, while my three-year-old is at an age where the safety provided by his parents is still an unspoken assumption. As I walk through the tranquil squares of Sharjah I am haunted by the knowledge that the quiet streets back home have been transformed, and are now filled with a different kind of reality. It is one thing to witness the rhymes of history in the contemplative space of a library or on a film set; it is quite another to realize that the bad dream of my Nigerian youth is now the backdrop of my children’s formative years, a place where no lease agreement or residency permit can truly protect anyone from a government determined to make an enemy of its own people.

Nigerian-born scholar, translator and documentarian @kolatubosun.bsky.social moved to Minneapolis with his family in 2022, little imagining the kind of U.S.A. he would be bringing his children into.

Rich, sobering essay about how the world is changing under our feet.

I guess I do think if you participated in the arrest of a five-year-old you are probably just fundamentally incompatible with society. That you are not a safe person for humanity to be around, generally

I hate it here

It's funny that animated films for kids are considered such lowly fare by artistic establishments and mature adults when those same films are trusted to shape the moral values and personal ethics of entire generations.

You are the best one!!!!!!!!! 🫂

Honestly it’s real useful to understand that centrists are eager to meet fascists in the middle but not anybody else lol

As makers of anarchist zines, we are asking you to help this person who was arrested and is facing deportation for allegedly having anarchist zines.
