I know that I sound like a broken record but I think once this society was ok with accepting mass covid deaths just to be able to eat at Applebees then all bets were off.

A really difficult aspect of leftist organizing in the US is that we rarely have the funds to institutionalize our movements, and as a consequence our wisdom is rarely institutionalized and preserved.

It's hard watching this happen over and over again when it comes to talking about war.

Oh and just remember - once youโ€™ve decided a minorityโ€™s human rights are up for debate, youโ€™ve decided HUMAN RIGHTS ARE UP FOR DEBATE.

To everybody who framed all of this as โ€œThe Trans Debate,โ€ well done! Youโ€™ve opened the door to The Anybody Debate.

For years we said theyโ€™re going for a genocide of trans people and for years we were told to โ€œstop being so dramatic.โ€

Now weโ€™re at the point of human experimentation with the explicit goal of eradicating us.

Can we call the genocide a fucking genocide now?

And also it's not fair to expect the people who are victims of our imperialism to make that distinction. Because they only know that those are the people holding guns on them.

And that is why if you really support our troops, you oppose sending them to kill and die in imperialist wars.

This video by @michaeldgreen.phd is a powerful expose of the type of #censorship and #racism the Trump administration is applying to #science and knowledge production. Fighting back is the only solution! We have toolkits that help you do just that! #DefendResearch www.defendresearch.org/take-action

stop calling us nazis just because we are invalidating IDs and rounding people up based on their skin color and putting them in concentration camps and sending them off to foreign gulags and using all that nazi imagery and banning books and dont forget about all the pedophilia. so just stop alright

I'll be honest with you. I see stuff like Platner QTing a holocaust denier and Ana aggressively posting "goyim are waking up," and I try to spin it into something satirical and humorous, but I think of the lovely and vulnerable, completely innocent Jews of this country, and I'm filled with terror.

trump is calling for banning congressional stock trading, but he leaves out the key detail: the reason there's a standstill right now is democrats want it to apply to trump and the white house, but trump issued a veto threat over that.

New preprint from our Gates-funded Modjadji initiative showing that whole-genome surveillance of measles virus from wastewater greatly expands our ability for monitoring and control.

To put ICE Enforcement Removal Operations officers' 6-week, 334-hour training into context here's roughly what others get:

- FBI spec agents ~20 wks 800 hrs
- DEA spec agents ~18 wks 720 hrs
- Secret Service ~30 wks 1,200 hrs
- ATF spec agents ~27 wks 1,080+ hrs
- CBP ~19 wks, 720 hrs

per report, DHS is aiming to complete construction on the camps in november. thatโ€™s plenty of time to stop or delay them indefinitely, but we need to be clear-eyed about the timeline hereโ€”and why a cautious response from our elected leaders isnโ€™t acceptable.

If you oppose the construction of ICE prisons, itโ€™s a good time to also oppose jail construction, even when framed as โ€œimprovementsโ€ or โ€œupdating existing facilitiesโ€

in addition to favoring conventionally attractive people & raising barriers for disabled folks, video pivots pose an additional threat: further elimination of online anonymity.

to be heard, you have to be seen. when you're seen, you can be recognized. when you're recognized, you can be punished.

Iโ€™m once again writing that disbelief in structural racism is similar to climate change denial and then I remembered they donโ€™t believe in that either.
