Our beloved Alice Wong has joined the ancestors. It was one of the great honors of my life to call Alice my friend, co-author & co-conspirator. She was a true genius, a force of nature the likes of which the world has never seen before. I love you, Alice, and am equal parts grateful and devastated

Highly considering turning this into an 18+ page once I move into my apartment (about a month from now).

The ADL responds

People insist Mamdani has to be only either Asian or African, and not some diasporic concatenation of multiple overlapping identities, for the same reason they hate trans people: because they fear fluidity and border-crossing and anyone who reminds us that real people do not fit into easy boxes.

@Imani_Barbarin Eugenics undergirds all of American society and it shouldn’t have taken all this for y’all to realize that ableism is applied not just to disabled people. Ableism is what makes fascism work, not only do y’all not look in disabled people’s directions, but you will cheer on your

You’re so fuckin cute 🥰

These are the #BDS consumer boycott targets named in the ground breaking report "From economy of occupation to economy of genocide" by the UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories occupied since 1967.

The American people were lied to about Vietnam, with tragic consequences.

The American people were lied to about Iraq, with tragic consequences.

The American people are being lied to again today. We cannot allow history to repeat itself.

Flyer that says "can't have pride if you're dead. free palestine."

“The queer Palestinian experience teaches us how ‘Pride’ without total liberation is a hollow, meaningless, and deceptive idea.”

This photo makes me cry.
It is always the innocent who will be the victims of war, as tyrants will go unharmed.
War is always an injustice, and the USA and Israel only produce more martyrs as they bomb the neighborhoods of civilians.

Liberals joined conservatives to mainstream anti-vax beliefs about viruses and public health Viruses are bad for kids' health. Public health is a collective effort. Liberals no longer believe either.

Absolutely wild how extremely far right rhetoric on Covid/disabled people, that liberals and leftists rightly attacked MAGA for in 2020, has now been mainstreamed to the point that leftists/liberals are further right on public health than most MAGA people were in 2020. Julia outlines it well here

It’s people in my mentions defending doing business with a man who literally did the Nazi salute — TWICE — at the inauguration of a white supremacist he bought the White House for.

You guys. You’re the problem.
