A giant sphere of flesh in Central Park towering over the city like a big gross meatball. This was made by redditor kiwi2703 to show what it would look like if you combined every human on Earth into a ball, and itโ€™s clearly a bad idea

Organizing is romantic.
Resistance is romantic.
Mutual Aid is romantic.
Hope is romantic.

Upon further consideration, I think the "Everyone is 12" theory may have been a bit too generous

New York leaders, advocates vow to re-raise Stonewall pride flag after Trump admin removal New York City are expected to gather at the Stonewall National Monument to re-raise the pride flag after the National Parks Service removed it from federal grounds.

It happened today. Trump ordered the pride flag taken down. It's back up now!

We should just reform ICE in such a way that every single agent is sweeping minefields in Ukraine by spring of 2029.

Good news: there's no durable majority for fascism

Bad news: we are locked in a life or death struggle against fascism and our victory depends on people with less understanding of how the world functions than my 14-month old

I grew up in Detroit. Windsor was just another community in the area, one with the best Chinese food and the great indy movie theater I tried to impress artsy girls by going to. I didn't even need ID to cross the border. The lines on maps do not correspond with how life works in those areas.

That last time was a "draw-down", this one is a formal end to the operation. Not sure if that'll make much difference on the ground either though.

damn you're telling me that sin taxes work to reduce consumption of socially harmful goods while keeping them legal and thus avoiding the problems of criminalization?

So is the immigration enforcement in Minneapolis actually over, or is it just another fake "draw-down"?

China, right now, believes that the costs of attacking Taiwan are unacceptable, U.S. deployment or otherwise.

I think it's important that the doom and gloom about deterrence and the future of the free world not come from the free world. To believe that we are doomed is to doom ourselves.

โ€œArtโ€ created under authoritarianism will always be rotten because creativity is killed at the very inception, so that the work is devoid of beauty, wit, and anything else that makes art great and engaging.

I did not believe that a Cause which stood for a beautiful ideal, for anarchism, for release and freedom from convention and prejudice, should demand the denial of life and joy. I insisted that our Cause could not expect me to become a nun and that the movement would not be turned into a cloister. If it meant that, I did not want it.
"I want freedom, the right to self-expression?" everybody's right to beautiful, radiant things.
Anarchism meant that to me, and I would live it in spite of the whole world - prisons, persecution, everything. Yes, even in spite of the condemnation of my own closest comrades I would live my beautiful ideal.
