We're doing a live Pathfinder game for the next few weekends on the Cool Zone Book Club (published as weekend episodes of It Could Happen Here). The great Margaret Killjoy wrote some fiction setting up our characters:

It is honestly kind of a big deal for one of our major papers to even be using the word "allegedly" when referring to an initial police statement.

Andor/Rogue One got a lot right, but the thing they got rightest was liberal leadership's desperate urge to surrender every chance they get

Tech guys six months ago: haha yes we’re cutting all this WASTEFUL spending by eliminating medical research and USAID

Tech guys now: yes I think taxpayers will be excited to bailout my non consensual pornography machine

This is so fucking bleak

Gossip's Talent {1}{U} Enchantment — Class (Gain the next level as a sorcery to add its ability.) Whenever a creature you control enters, surveil 1. {1}{U}: Level 2 Whenever you attack, target attacking creature with power 3 or less can’t be blocked this turn. {3}{U}: Level 3 Whenever a creature you control deals combat damage to a player, you may exile it, then return it to the battlefield under its owner’s control. Illustrated by Andrea Sipl

Gossip's Talent to get those surveils going, and clear off counters in one package

"If you stick a knife in my back 9 inches and pull it out 6 inches, that's not progress. If you pull it all the way out, that's not progress. Progress is healing the wound that the blow made. They haven't pulled the knife out; they won't even admit that it's there." — Malcolm X

Our natural instinct is to help each other!

Structures of capitalism, colonialism, white supremacy, patriarchy, etc. have to exert tremendous effort to try & obliterate that instinct & isolate us from one another.

No amount of reform can cut out the infection that is CBP, ICE, and the entire culture of American policing. They need to be abolished entirely.

I'm not the biggest fan of puns in general, but I love when MtG does design puns. Tutors that tutor, Charming Prince being a charm - hook this type of stuff into my veins^^

I think it’s important to remember that you don’t get points for being a bootlicker, you just out yourself as a spineless little worm.

The boot doesn’t care how well you clean it. It will still crush you.

The individual cannot bargain with the State. The State recognizes no coinage but power: and it issues the coins itself.

Photo of Bernie Sanders holding his finger up giving a speech with text reading "Anarchists can have a little electoralism as a treat." Unfortunately electoralism is spelled wrong, but what can you do?

The feed today. (Full disclosure: I am enjoying the treat.)

The victory of progressive candidates is a byproduct of our work caring for one another and building a better world, not the goal of our work.

Zohran Mamdani polled +40% on men under 30. So we wasted all that time on all those think pieces about how we need a Joe Rogan for the left, when what we actually needed were *policies* for the left.

if you didn't follow the VA governor race you didn't know that Earle-Sears ran like a billion anti-trans campaign ads and Spanberger didn't flinch or pull a Newsom.

going all-in against trans people is a losing move, especially when the federal government has made harming and killing us a priority.

Should Democrats Throw Trans People Under the Bus? Here’s Why It Would Be Bad Politics

...perhaps all those centrist Dem pundits should be fired – or at the very least, taken less seriously – after such an atrocious miscalculation? juliaserano.medium.com/should-democ...

best encapsulation why everyone hates democrats despite trump being the spawn of satan

The lib moms are drawing steel and swearing terrible oaths

The lib dads are wearing pride shirts and telling people “you’ll have to get through me”

I overheard a grandma use the phrase “those motherfuckers“

So many nonpartisan apolitical regular folks are _mad_.

I’m coining the phrase “the centrist two-step.” Step 1 is declaring that the left needs to focus on kitchen table issues instead of social issues to win back voters and step 2 is insisting that all left-wing approaches to kitchen table issues are impossible to deliver on.

Dream Halls

Fascism really is here at the Federal level. You are living through that if you are in the U.S. It's really actually happening. Figure out how to band with others to help make it through.

Really important advice.

And if you insist on posting these things or keeping them up after you've been informed they're fake, that's going to be a quick block.

"Well, it could be true!" It's not.

"Well, you can imagine." Nope.

"Well, they do it!" Yeah, no.

The purpose of a system is what it does.

Once you realize that, everything becomes clear.

This worldview is unrecognizable and repulsive to me. Trans people, and the working class queer communities we're intertwined with, are incredibly active.

We have a long history of militant resistance and keeping each other safe. We have survived literal genocides. We choose to fight.

Anarchy anywhere is a threat to tyranny everywhere.

Authoritarians know this.

It is why they are so desperate to crush it, because once again Anarchists are growing, Anarchism flourishes in the corpse of empires.

Do not let yourself forget this.
All flags burn black in a fire.

in the same way that food banks can turn $10 into enough food to feed many families, there are mutual aid groups who can turn $10 into many many years worth of hormones. if you are discouraging people from getting the life saving medicine that they need by lying to them about the cost you are Evil.

This entire "the Dems need to abandon identity and focus on economics!" discourse is being driven by rich assholes who would melt down at the slightest hint of higher taxes on the wealthy or more welfare for the poor. Look how they're treating Mamdani! It's cynical bullshit all the way down.

As Tolkien put it, "It needs but one foe to breed a war, not two .... And those who have not swords can still die upon them."

Calls for peace in the face of imperialist invasion are nonsensical

Appreciate this coverage but it is hard to explain to people not in the Chicago area that THESE ARE NOT PROTESTS.

This is people coming out of their homes, doing anything in their power to try to stop their neighbors from being kidnapped.

It is coming for your city next, please be prepared.
