The bad actors - the really "effective" transphobes - figured this out 6-10 years ago: If they say outright "I hate trans people", they get rejected. If they derail, dismiss, deny, defend in *response* to trans people begging for humanity, they are tolerated.

A screenshot of a Google Finance chart for the S&P 500 index on March 3 at 9:48 AM EST. The line graph shows a steep drop from the market open, with the current value at 6,746.92, down 134.15 points or 1.96% for the day.

It's finally setting in to the market that Iran is choking off 1/5 of global oil supply and could choke off nearly 1/3 of global container traffic in the red sea. They can create a global energy crisis and shortage of basic necessities with asymmetrical means. There's no off ramp here.

Activist Checklist offers a lot of guides and information to enable users to be thoughtful and proactive about threats and surveillance.

This is a good starting point. It's presented with newcomers and ease of access considerations in mind.

Unfortunate early lightning strike! Pittman has ruled in favor of the government’s motion to bar self-defense arguments and echoed the government’s Branch Dravidian comparisons

Fascism is not the product of life being too easy. People do not become fairer or more just in their politics because their lives are hard, or because they live in a state of precarity. Come tf on.

Truly do not know how we are going to dig ourselves out of the internet brainwashing and years of anti-intellectualism if coming out of all this doesn't also mean taking back control of information sources. Keep building parallel structures.

No broadcast PSA campaign is gonna fix this.

β€œThe Revolutionβ„’ is not some eschatological event up ahead. It is now. It is right now.”

Sam Melia, a leading member of Patriotic Alternative, was just released from jail after running an online library of racist, antisemitic & white‑supremacist stickers intended for supporters to print & distribute in public spaces.

THREAD: Misinformation in the Iran/US/Israel war - 3 March

This viral video claims to show the aftermath of a reported drone attack on the US embassy in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, tonight.

But the video was posted last week to TikTok, and shows an unrelated car accident in Riyadh.

#OtD 3 Mar 1903 the Immigration Act of 1903 (aka: Anarchist Exclusion Act) was signed into US law by President Theodore Roosevelt. It barred entry to the US for anarchists, people with epilepsy, beggars, and importers of sex workers stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/1020...

The United States Munitions Stockpiles have, at the medium and upper medium grade, never been higher or better - As was stated to me today, we have a virtually unlimited supply of these weapons. Wars can be fought β€œforever,” and very successfully, using just these supplies (which are better than other countries finest arms!). At the highest end, we have a good supply, but are not where we want to be. Much additional high grade weaponry is stored for us in outlying countries.

Borrowing from Netanyahu and Putin, Trump's strategy to remain in power is to create ever worse catastrophes around the world, no matter the cost in lives.

The attack on Iran will not be the last.

Netanyahu's statements confirm my suspicion that part of the US/Israel strategy in Iran is to destroy security infrastructure in the Kurdish regions so that Kurdish armed groups can take over. The trouble is that they don't seem to have actually spoken to any of the Kurdish groups about this.

Dear white people

For the iranians and arabs in your life, β€˜oh man i have no idea what to say… hope your people are all ok’ is totally acceptable and nice to hear

Torture camps. They’re discussing torture camps. Cruel and unusual is hypobiloc. (Is that a word? It would help.)

This is fundamentally why β€œChristian Zionism” is antisemitic. They only claim to care about the Jewish people and Israel as pawns so that Jesus can come back and smite the unbelievers (including the Jewish people).

It’s batshit insane and we just need to call it out for what it is.

β€œThe NCO wrote to the MRFF that their commander β€œurged us to tell our troops that this was β€˜all part of God’s divine plan’ and he specifically referenced numerous citations out of the Book of Revelation referring to Armageddon and the imminent return of Jesus Christ.”

Never, ever determine your morality by what the law says. We do what is right because it is right and then we make what is right, legal.

Christian Nationalists have been preparing and positioning themselves for this for decades. They expect a large % of Jews to die before they bring white supremacist Jesus back.
