Gonna keep saying this & will die on this hill: Bad news without any guidance on what to do about it [at least some ideas] demobilizes and often encourages inaction. We on the Left(s) have to avoid cynicism which is deeply corrosive and also counterrevolutionary.

We’re living through an era when everything needs to be upended yet so many people are clinging tightly to the edge of the pool. I understand why this is: when things feel uncertain, the status quo is a mirage of ‘safety’. But we need people who are willing to swim in the deep end & offer new paths

Biden does *not* need to step down. Instead, he needs to jump to the left, and then take a step to his right with his hands on his hips and then bring his knees in tight.

There is a specific type of demoralizing fascism where people lose rights they had, in their lifetime, fought to get recognized. Not *just* losing rights, but seeing decades of hard effort dissolve. Reconstruction, Magnus Hirschfeld's Institute, Dobbs, the coming overturning of Obergefell, etc

If you are desperate for something to do right now in support of Palestine, remember this list of vetted crowdfunds to help Palestinians escape the violence of genocide.

As an anarchist, it is a crystalization of the difference between legality and morality. "The Law says we can kill children, so it's just" I want to tear apart the fabric of existence to shriek in the ear of the person who wrote this and hit send.

Biden was 23 when Selma happened. What did he have to say about Bloody Sunday at the time? Anyone know?

when police start announcing who they would like to arrest for vibes reasons without any alleged crime having been committed that is a good time to start purging police departments. i mean there are other times also. but that is a good one

Put together a quick site to gather links to bail funds for people arrested on college campuses. Please share the link with others and if you see any new bail funds pop up send them my way: campusbailfunds.com

Less than 600 dollars to go to get Sydette 80% funded. Even if you've never met Sydette, her work on Internet safety and online community health has impacted you. Misogynistic and racist hate groups have been trying to take her down for more than a decade. We're not going to let that happen.

So I finished my taxes and after the year of 2023 combined with the absurd amount of time it’s taken me to find work I’m fried It’s a heavy ask , but I don’t feel like I’ve had an honest break and or respite in nearly a decade and I’m FRIED Anything will help t.co/RF4zvxUQeB

“Is it technically fascism?” “Is it technically rape?” “Is it technically genocide?” Remarkable the smug ease with which so many people have replaced moral inquiries with semantic ones.

Listing people's bad deeds when they die is an accounting of how they lived. It is actually right to do. Those who were treated well by that person will offer their own accounting of how that person lived & list the good. No need to offer insincere condolences or to be inauthentically silent.

YOU ARE ENOUGH, YOUR BROKEN AND REHEALED BONES AND CONSTELLATION OF SCARS ARE ENOUGH, YOUR VOICE THAT CREAKS AND WHISPERS FROM LONG YEARS OF SILENCE IS ENOUGH, YOU, EMERGING INTO THE LIGHT TO HOWL AND SNARL, YOU, WHO RELISHES THE QUIET OF DEEPEST SHADOWS, YOU ARE ALWAYS ENOUGH

i still have my twitter account and previously when i wouldn't use the app for several days i'd get push notifications of breaking news stories, politicians, friends' posts, trying to lure me back. now those push notifications, a good 90% of the time, are far-right content

For me, it's Rejection Origami. This rejection letter was so long, I used two pages and made a triceratops

Gotta take your rejection letters like a professional, by shedding one single tear in private and then moving the fuck on
