the AI church services where the people can’t even discern that it’s AI make me especially angry…..

"Trump is normalizing attacks on blue cities because he intends to overpower hubs of ... resistance. He plans to hold onto power — and expand it — by any means necessary, legal constraints and elections be damned."

I’m. So. Tired.

I don’t just want you to pay attention to Chicago because I want you to understand our plight. I want you to see how hard people are fighting and know wtf you’re made of. We’re not just fighting for this place. This is for all of us.

Global academic freedom group warns Trump is dismantling US higher education Report from Scholars at Risk counts some 40 attacks against academic freedom in the US in the first half of 2025

This guy's fans don't want to be soldiers. They want to be posters. They want to troll. They want to harass professors. They are not looking for a more challenging existence.

Democratic Strategist Admits ‘Super Progressive’ Staffers Actually Love Trump’s DC Crackdown: ‘Man, It’s Been Great!’ Dan Turrentine admitted that many progressive staffers who live in D.C. are privately supportive of Donald Trump's crackdown on crime in the nation's capital.

“After being in DC for two days, it is remarkable how much this issue is tying Democrats in knots. Because I talked to several staffers who said, ‘You know, it was actually really nice to go into Union Station and see the markets full again, to see people in there, the homeless people out.‘“

I want to once again reiterate what I said earlier. The reason the vast majority of Democratic and so-called centrist elites have acquiesced over and over again is that they are COMPLICIT. Because they actually know that direct confrontation is how you defeat fascists and choose not to do it.

i’m blocking you for this lolol

“We want the practice of hope to produce otherwise possibility, a break from the known and knowable world (or worlds).” - @ashoncrawley.bsky.social

If you're already tying yourself to someone like Gavin Newsom, then what must you ignore in order to potentially vote for him for any office.

once again, i'll suggest that perhaps the reason the broad public thinks democrats are weak is that when confronted with situations that demands that democrats loudly and proactively stand up for their values, democrats shirk from the fight

Snoop hangs with the homophobes at MAGA now. He's dead to us.

I wish this would come to the Bay. Every city deserves a Mayor that loves the city and wants people to experience all it has to offer. The other side thinks your city is shit. It’s a total no brainer.

When the Bronx Burned, Tenants Died and Landlords Got Rich

During the 1970s, an arson wave ravaged poor communities across the US. Some lost 80% of their housing. Residents were blamed.

In reality, landlords—paid by insurers and enabled by the state—drove this arson-for-profit epidemic.



I reviewed @benchansfield.bsky.social's revelatory BORN IN FLAMES:

TWO****** years ago. my god. i cannot add. and time is a fiction in my head. this was 2023!

“Guys, we can skip the 13th, 14th, and 15th amendment. Trump doesn’t like them.”

The best part of white supremacy is assuming Black folks are just going to stop talking about racial oppressions because they order it. The Smithsonian is important but the lessons didn’t start there. Way to undermine your own institutions though.

THIS.

three years ago, HOMEGOING opened. still blown away that it happened. still grateful.

A New Study Proves Criminalizing Homelessness Doesn’t Reduce Homelessness "The deterrence logic doesn’t hold": A recent analysis finds that encampments bans and other local ordinances aimed at unhoused populations don't actually lead to decreased homelessness.

Clearing encampments and throwing people in jail does NOTHING to actually get Americans off the streets.

Homelessness is not a personal failure, it’s a policy failure. Congress must pass my Housing Not Handcuffs Act with @frost.house.gov.

As Trump Turns DC Into a Fascist Laboratory, We Must Mount Our Own Defenses Facing militaristic consolidation in US cities, it is up to all of us to define the politics of opposition.

My latest piece reprinted in @truthout.org. "We must assess who is most imperiled by Trump’s actions and edicts, orient ourselves in opposition to those attacks, and decide how we will oppose them. Then, we must act."

i made things last week. beginning tomorrow, week 4, the final week.

to follow up, i am in week three of the summer intensive and tired don’t begin to convey what i am but i also am learning so much and am loving everything i’m doing!
