Truly, the best diplomats I've ever met have been outlaw bikers and felons.

I miss when murdering KKK members in a videogame wasn't considered offensive.

If you all would have included truthful Black History as part of American History, you wouldn't be so "shocked" by what is happening right now. In fact, what is happening now likely wouldn't be happening because you would have been able to see it coming with knowledge of history.

The fact that their ticket was mysteriously canceled the day before and then they were questioned by DHS is both one of the greatest political scandals and crises of my lifetime and just another fucking Thursday in 2025.

A display of copies of Let This Radicalize You on a table in front of a sign that reads: "Let This Radicalize You offers stories, strategy and heart for the kind of collective care and resistance we're building together today. It helps us move from reacting to organizing. Showing how ordinary people protect each other, build power, and keep hope alive. Take a copy. Read it. Stay connected."

I donated some copies of Let This Radicalize You for distribution at an ICE watch training for folks who want to join school patrols in a nearby neighborhood. Not everyone got a copy, because 120 people showed up for that training tonight. I am endlessly proud of Chicago.

We are 8 months into the term and almost 18 onto the ba and Dems are more willing to give millions and time to assholes whose main message is

β€œScrew trans people and erase Black folks”

Than

HOLY HELL WE WILL BE REBUILDING THIS ALL AND TAKW CARE OF YOU

I think another reason this is effective is that it's forcing Repubs to remind everyone that they have no plan themselves to improve access to healthcare. Whenever they are asked for their alternatives, they say they have "ideas, concepts, etc." with nothing to back it up.

Credit where credit is due. The Democrats' message that the GOP shut down the government because they want to throw millions of people off healthcare has broken through. Two of my cousins who are NOT AT ALL tuned into national politics told me that this is why the government is shut down.

Cameroon my country has its presidential election this coming Sunday. The 92 year old president who has been in power 42 years is running again for a 7 year term. The only people who think having an authoritarian in power is "fun" have never lived under dictatorship. He will likely "win" again.

Sahar's son Odai was shot by an Israeli quadcopter, and she's been unable to find him proper treatment for a year now because of Israel's genocidal starvation & invasion. Please help by sharing & donating if you can, his condition is deteriorating:

I know it’s really hard for people to understand, but contrary to popular belief having only enough food so that you don’t die and a tent is not quite humanitarian living still.

To be alive, we sort of have to feel joy sometimes or accomplishment. Maybe feel loved or cared for. Money helps that.

honestly fu** you if you think gazans are only allowed to ask for help to cover their very basic necessities when they’re starving or being killed, calling a gazan a grifter for trying to secure her education proves that you don’t see gazans as humans who deserve to live equally.
