Like culture posts on this app simply don’t get the engagement and I think it’s because people feel it’s frivolous and actually it’s the thing we are fighting for, the freedom to make culture and cultural works

Oh btw ICE activity today at Whipple was fucking nuts. Large convoys of masked agents leaving every so often with a constant stream of single ICE vehicles in between.

This 'drawdown' was clearly just a brief hiatus to pacify liberals and get bourgeois media/politicians to completely lose interest.

Democrats aren’t useless.

They’re the Republicans’ most useful tools.

the war is not "aimless." It is corrupt, unjust and immoral.

They bombed girls elementary school in Iran.

The U.S. is the most evil and dangerous country on earth.

I'm a professional aid worker with active operations in the Middle East. I am absolutely not watching atrocity videos, they give me no useful information only vicarious trauma. There are far more useful sources of information that are far less traumatic.

It’s not lost on me that this is happening during Ramadan and during fasting hrs.

If you’re willing to sacrifice trans lives to “save democracy,” then you don’t understand the first thing about democracy.

I’m not a k-12 teacher anymore, but my batterer, who I reported to our administration, is. And the man stays abusing. I’ve spoken to his new victims. Abusers fail up.

My, my.

Journalists slain at record level in 2025, majority by Israel, watchdog says An increasing number of journalists were killed by drones, the Committee to Protect Journalists said. The IDF said it “strongly rejects” the group’s findings.

"Last year was the deadliest on record for journalists. For the third year in a row, Israel killed more journalists and media workers than any other country amid the war in Gaza, according to a report released Wednesday by the Committee to Protect Journalists."

The U.S. is built on ruins. Those ruins have a lot to teach us about our future….

He’s saying that I’m a Native. Later on in the post, he specifies that he thinks I’m a Native of Baja California. Wrong part of the Americas, bro!

Do Humans Really Understand the World’s Disorderly Rivers? In James C. Scott’s last book, In Praise of Floods, he questions the limits of human hegemony and our misplaced sense that we have any control over the Earth’s depleted watershed.

Most of what we now call rivers are the heavily domesticated descendants of their wild forebears, which writhed and jumped across the landscape, growing fatter and thinner with the seasons, as different as a wolf from a pug from a wolf.

Some Spaniard decided that today was a good day to hop on the internet and call me an aborigine with a bad haircut. 🥴

This is also a matter of patriarchal impunity. The US state rarely uses the criminal legal system to punish gender based violence. Instead, it promotes it. You don’t need to be an elite member of the patriarchy to reap those benefits. All you need to do is uphold misogyny…

DO you mean emigrating? More Americans are emigrating, making themselves immigrants in other countries while the US vilifies immigrants at home.

What the fuck is "replanting"?

I can't even speak about Nurul Amin Shah Alam. All I have to say is that the people constantly distinguishing between ICE, CBP and the REGULAR COPS are fools. That's it.

There's no feeling quite like walking into your indie bookstore, surrounding yourself with books, and knowing that you could leave with a book that changes your life 😍

The front page for “The Plantation Negro As A Freeman” by Philip A. Bruce

I hesitate to recommend it again because I’m sure many of y’all are taking away the wrong lessons, but this book really does lay out the inner philosophy of our current political moment.
