Schumer chose the capitalists over us.

There are many, many people in the same boat.

God can he just go retire in Marin and get embroiled in some personal scandal that takes up all his lawyer and PR team’s time and money already.

Protest outside the NYC ICE office now demanding the release of Mahmoud Khalil

I don’t understand why people keep pointing to the things that Trump is doing & protesting that these things are illegal like Trump doesn’t have power over the legal system. Why would he care? When has that stopped him? More importantly, what are we going to do about it since the law has failed?

Lmk if you need any roachies for this little friend!!

Things are coming apart quickly, so a word to white folk: you’re going to have to get used to property damage if you want to survive. Getting upset protesters set an empty Target on fire & making THAT & not police murder the focus is part of how we got here.

yes yes a thousand times yes

IT IS ALL THE SAME FIGHT

none of us without all of us

A death cult.

"this perversely antisocial iteration of public health, the organizing concept is: deaths elsewhere mean more health among groups of socially deserving and physically normative majoritarian subjects".

The attack on DEI shows why liberals should stop arguing about "strategic" use of language forever. DEI stands for three uncontroversial virtues that most every American accepts, and the right still turned it into a vile slur. It doesn't matter what you say - they will poison it because YOU said it.

I remember hearing from a senior #climate scientist a few years ago that ocean warming worries him, but that ocean acidification is what really keeps him up at night. But hey, to hell with the world... What is being done to @noaa.gov is both obsence & dangerous

Turns out constantly catering the fringe minority of your party until they seized power and numbers was a bad idea, actually

But hey, at least no more DEI!

Burner emails are good for this sort of thing if someone chose to send the entire Bee Movie script.

A lesson from 3+ decades working on criminal justice reform is that the system gains undeserved legitimacy by pretending making something "illegal" will stop it. The real world is much more complicated. Unreasonable searches are banned by the 4th Amdt, for example, but they happen every day. 1/2

Israel saw a similar thing happen with the Jewish Nation State basic law passed several years ago, defining Hebrew as the official language of Israel and effectively further demoting Arabic and its speakers. There's a playbook here.

Israel will not withdraw from Philadelphi corridor as stipulated in ceasefire Israel will not withdraw from the Philadelphi corridor -- the border separating Egypt and Gaza -- as stipulated by the ceasefire agreement between Hamas and Israel.

"will not withdraw as stipulated in the ceasefire" in normal people words this is "Israeli official declares that Israel will violate the ceasefire"

WHO IS THIS HANDSOME LAD

This should go on for more than one day to be truly effective.

TRANS PEOPLE HAVE ALWAYS EXISTED

Just beyond embarrassing.

My condolences to whoever has to unfuck all of this, assuming anyone ever does…

A reminder

This Moment Or, Why I Cannot Mourn Gaza

Hard reading this piece by @ayoub.bsky.social important one though. On the ceasefire, on what happened, on what's next.

DO NOT PANIC

the immediate impact this will have on you is small, they have to enforce it, and there will likely be lawsuits and ways to fight it

it will be a developing story

and cis friends? no shit:

NOW’S THE TIME TO NOT STAND FOR THIS SHIT

be ready to step up and say NO

It’s going to be a blitzkrieg. Remember a blitzkrieg was designed to overwhelm and disorient. How do we stay informed and engaged during it instead of shutting down and tuning out?

one way you can pay tribute to lynch is to help support the life and work of the trans women who have picked up his flag and for whom his work has been so life-changing and vital. he took pains in his later career to tell us again and again he was with us. now it's our turn to change lives.
