If you don’t remember the flour massacre this is a story about it- Anwar’s husband was killed while waiting on aid www.aljazeera.com/amp/news/202...

I know for a fact that Antifa is not an organization because I don't get emails from them asking for money.

I mean yes this is funny, but the fact that these unconstitutional stormtroopers are so directionless that they literally stand around waiting for random nonwhite delivery guys to bike past them is just pathetic. No mandate, no mission, no clue. Just racism.

the president just said the military should start shooting american civilians if they want to

american fascism is so undeniably here. tbh i don’t know why my acquaintances are going on holidays there

extremely alarming. get organised now if you haven’t already. rely on more than your social media platforms to find each other. take it seriously!

Trump has ordered troops to Portland to fight residents who don’t like ICE deportations. There will be a mass protest response as the entire state sees this for what it is: a fascist military invasion.

I hate telling this story, but when tear gas is in the news... telling always feels importantm

Tear gas is an abortifacient.

When I was tear gassed, we were trying for a baby.

The following day, I bled in a way I never have before. Like no period of my life before or since.

Horror movie stuff.

“The world is not divided into countries. The world is not divided between East and West. You are American, I am Iranian, we don’t know each other, but we talk together and we understand each other perfectly. The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. And the difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same.” -Marjane Satrapi

Stop the Israeli assault on Iran!

“The difference between you and your government is much bigger than the difference between you and me. The difference between me and my government is much bigger than the difference between me and you. And our governments are very much the same.”

A screenshot reading Metro NYPD to deploy thousands of cops for more than 10 ‘No Kings Day’ NYC rallies — as Adams warns ‘outside agitators’ expected By Joe Marino, Khristina Narizhnaya and Katherine Donlevy Published June 13, 2025, 4:07 p.m. ET

In headlines like this, it is clear for all to see that "outside agitators" is simply the term politicians use for "people the police intend to attack."

They always harp on their tired rhetoric about "outside agitators" because the thing they fear most is—solidarity.

It's becoming evident that there are few paths for creatives in this country that aren't subject to the whims of weak-minded arts orgs and governments complicit in genocide. We need to tangibly support each other through independent means so we can all continue fighting, advocating, and creating.

They can rescind my award, take away my prize money, rip up the contract but I was still one of two winners of the prestigious Blak & Write Fellowship for 2025. A panel of peers read my manuscript, and selected my work as worthy of winning. Haters can not rob me of Blak joy

Social post from Ren Wyld with details of being told her award was rescinded

The day author Ren Wyld was due to receive the Black & Write $15k Indigenous fellowship she was told it had been rescinded. A journo from the Oz seemed to know before she did. Appalling to see QLD govt cave to Murdoch press to punish a First Nations writer for speaking out in support of Palestine.

What was that everyone was saying last week about how the Murdoch papers’ culture war bullshit has no sway any more?

Israeli bombing wave kills dozens in Gaza including at least 22 children, say reports Bombardment signals new escalation after Netanyahu said Israel would ‘go in with full force to complete the operation’

22 corpses of children were added to the pile of 10s of 1000s of dead kids that Israel has erected with the active help of the West. One day, the same people who are today complicit in this will claim they opposed it. Don't let them get away with it! www.theguardian.com/world/2025/m...
