Turns out you cant pay for struggle that builds character

Zohran as Liu Bei

I was looking for an art project. Feel free to disregard.

Doubt everything, folks.

Thankful for all those who have shown up in community defense in so many different ways. Nothing has been as heartening as seeing brave souls put their bodies on the line at Broadview & in the streets, with watchers on so many street corners & eyes on the skies. Y’all are the real ones.

Regardless, you’re using a right wing talking point.

It’s also a rhetorical device that people use to excuse themselves from having to do the difficult, messy work of talking to people we don’t like. We have to teach the parents as well. Not just the kids.

‘It’s the responsibility of the parents’ is a right wing talking point.

As always: the best way to protect kids online is to pass strong legislation that protects EVERYONE from Big Tech's surveillance capitalist business model & breaks their monopolies so that people can have social media and tech tools that serve community needs. Nothing in this package looks like that

Nib makes some glorious pieces.

Exactly, there IS something he could do.

We understand just fine.

He wants to keep his job more than he wants to assist the people he has said he would assist.

This is all political theater in the service of the war machine. Kelly is making sure we all still see it as honorable. It is not.

The land and the water belong to the First Nations, the answer, in a policy proposal, is indigenous stewardship through new treaties, and Land Back

The "reporter" lady fucking sources and running catch and kill ops is a huge part of the issue with journalism but so is the corrupt sack of shit ex who knew about all this and said nothing till he felt personally betrayed and is now tossing out tidbits in planned instalments to have you pay him

Oh fuck off.

He’s one of the most powerful people in the country. Stop treating him like a child who can’t do anything.

The BBC would only be making the claim that

‘Fred said that Jack’s face is blue.’

Which is different from the BBC saying ‘Jack’s face is blue.’

They’re giving in to the most corrupt president in US history because they’re cowards.

Thank you, I feel like I’m losing my mind here.

The BBC isn’t making a claim about the president, they’re making a claim that a person said a thing.

Right.

But where are those resources? The Senator isn’t a child. Stop coddling him. If he says he’s going to have their back, there should be links to resources and funds to assist people who want to defy orders.

This is all a campaign ploy from the warmongering uniparty.

Not ours alone, but we contributed a chapter to this book on encampment evictions in DC, focusing on the wave of evictions in 2021.

I've updated the goal to include some transportation and other costs since I won't be able to drive when I have my surgery. And will need to make it to my post surgery appointments. Any help is appreciated!

So Olivia Nuzzi is clearly a piece of shit who can never work in journalism again after this.

And, also, Ryan Lizza is clearly a piece of shit who should never work in journalism again after this either.

We're all agree on that, right?

Lizza thinks he’s fucking Charles Dickens releasing this as though it’s a serial novel.

I think it's important to say every time that Americans have been frightened of Black Haitians since the Haitian Revolution succeeded because the Haitian fight for freedom inspired enslaved people across the Americas and showed colonizer slaveholders that sometimes we win. They're still scared.

Same. We certainly don’t like it, but we also haven’t stopped it. Any more than we’ve stopped school shootings.

They Never Should Have Been There: A story of the U.S. Military

Episode eleventy billion and two

(Sorry y’all, having trouble not being snarky. Just tired of people getting killed because we sent military places they should never have been.)

This is bad.

the memories of a generation lost because of Reagan's homophobia will not be erased

i think we should do something in DC that would make david wojnarowicz proud tbh
