There's a fascinating split on the timeline today with a bunch of white people arguing that these people weren't like this in the past and all the Black people saying that they absolutely were like this in the past. A real "Two Americas" moment.

I dunno, seems bad.

I feel like Ben Gvir personally being in the room when Greta Thunberg was being tortured should be bigger news

Well done, Alexia.

There's the second goal. I'm of a double allegiance here, but my heart is with Barça.

Truly a jaw-dropping (derogatory) penalty by Alexia.

Same in DC. It’s been two months.

Still constant helicopters overhead. Abandoned work trucks where neighbors have been kidnapped by ICE. Armed national guard walking the streets. Feds posting up in former unhoused spaces to keep people away.

Hey look, Israel broke the cease-fire, twice, in two different ways, within 24 hours - again.

i've said it 100x and i'll say it 100x more: every ounce of energy expended on trying to help the democratic party unfuck itself is energy better spent organizing in your local community to be resilient against fascism and climate collapse because the dems will always sabotage whatever you do.

So given this competition among individuals with a shared interest in a stable profit-generating market, can we say that capitalists are class conscious? They certainly understand that they're in an antagonistic relationship with workers as a class, right? 2/2

I just read a claim that capitalists are not class conscious as a class, because each is motivated by self-interest in conflict with other capitalists. But I think they also all know that they have a shared interest in a well-functioning market and apparatus of repression. 1/2

I'm getting twinges in the right hip now, unfortunately, so the relief there seems to have been temporary. If it gets worse I'll have to ask for an injection in that hip too. Good news is that the left hip is still doing great.

Trans leader Miss Major Griffin-Gracy dies Miss Major Griffin-Gracy, a Black transgender woman and longtime activist who once lived in the Bay Area, died October 13.

Rest in Power Miss Major. We all owe you so much. Thank you for everything.

I am sure this is true, sadly.

PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD!!

The University of Texas-Austin is beginning a process to eliminate the Black Studies, Latino Studies, and Gender Studies departments in the College of Liberal Arts. This is a grave threat to the educational liberty of students, faculty, staff, and the people of Texas. 1/

It's amazing what NOT being in chronic pain will do for your mood. I hope this continues for awhile.

Shipping costs from outside the US are outrageous now. It's such a ridiculous national own goal.

I finally signed up for a Spanish class!

Cannot believe how much better my hips feel the last couple of days. My totally amateur theory is that removing fluid from my left hip reduced my overall level of inflammation, and that has helped my right hip too.

🇳🇴 A large #Palestine flag and the words "Let children live" were displayed by Norway fans in their World Cup qualifier against Israel in Oslo, a few minutes ago.

I think I'll have a little LOI First Division soccer, as a treat.

State Rep. Steven Xiarhos spent decades as a cop on Cape Cod. And when he looks at the “street takeovers” that hit four communities across Massachusetts last weekend, he doesn’t mince words. “You need to respect police officers. They’re risking their lives for us 24/7,” Xiarhos, R-5th Barnstable, told MassLive as he left a memorial service for fallen officers at the State House on Wednesday. To make sure that happens, Xiarhos said he’s filing two bills to tackle the growing social media phenomenon that’s leading to some real-world consequences. The first would boost the penalty for assaulting a police officer from the current misdemeanor in most cases to a felony. The second is based on existing law in Florida. That statute, enacted in 2022, prohibits street takeovers and punishes spectators and participants alike.

As part of the latest moral panic about crime, a #Massachusetts state lawmaker is trying to increase the penalty for assaulting a cop and make it illegal just to *witness* a so-called "street takeover."

It's a little hard to take the governor's defiant stand against Trump and the National Guard seriously when his goons are doing this

We're all imploding too, tbf.

María Corina Machado © @MariaCorinaYA Follow This recognition of the struggle of all Venezuelans is a boost to conclude our task: to conquer Freedom. We are on the threshold of victory and today, more than ever, we count on President Trump, the people of the United States, the peoples of Latin America, and the democratic nations of the world as our principal allies to achieve Freedom and democracy. I dedicate this prize to the suffering people of Venezuela and to President Trump for his decisive support of our cause! 8:34 AM • 10/10/25 • 30K Views
