Lol. Gonna have to try this excuse at work sometime. 😒😬

This is the Tufts PhD student who seized by masked agents on the street and jailed for two months because she wrote an op-ed calling for the school to divest from Israel.

How One Black Labor Union Changed American History A century ago, the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters launched a union drive against a railroad giant, changing the course of the 20th century and forever entwining the causes of labor and black civil rights.

The whole “going after dangerous NARCO-TERRORISTS!!!!” rationale- wtf it’s like they think the Charles Bronson films were utopian & aspirational! 🫩

A picture of a keyboard preset menu that includes “Breath noise”, “Fret Sound” & “Gunshot”. 😗

Incredibly disappointed that there’s no FART preset. 😢

They project this will cost $75M up front and $30M a year and I'm guessing if you just gave the majority of these folks $57,000 and then a $23,000 basic income and let them live a life, they'd do just fine. And that's assuming they stay in budget. But helping people ain't our thing, punishment is.

I get that the news cycle is packed right now, but I just heard from a colleague at the Smithsonian that this is fully a GIANT SQUID BEING EATEN BY A SPERM WHALE and it’s possibly the first ever confirmed video according to a friend at NOAA

10 YEAR OLD ME IS LOSING HER MIND (a thread 🧵)

A?

a question I often find myself asking these days: "are these the moves of a movement that feels that it's winning or one desperately afraid that it's about to lose everything?"

Two Twitter posts, one is a response post. Original is by Nerdeen Kiswani and says “Hollywood making movies about a genocide that’s still happening is their way of absolving themselves. They profit, pat themselves on the back, and package it as history, while 100+ Palestinians are starved and bombed daily. Their responsibility is to stop it now.” Response is by Nerdeen again, stating “Look at No Other Land which won an Oscar, but what did that change for Palestinians? One co-director was beaten & detained after the win, another contributor was shot dead. Hollywood applauded, then moved on. Storytelling didn’t stop the violence. We need action, not applause.”

I love my fellow artists and writers but I do feel like sometimes we get lost in the power of story because it’s important to us and easier than the tangibility of action, pressure, protest, divestment, declining, standing up, and risking connections that might have been advantageous

Please help Muhammad however you can.

Donate to help him immediately. Share to help find people who can donate.

Even the smallest donation could make a huge difference right now.

We must take care of each other to take care of ourselves.

Give love. Spread hope. Feel love.

I'm not right wing but some of this "woke" stuff is a little over the top [6 months later] Slavery was fine. Your city is under martial law

Maybe I’m just old (42) but for me the golden age of the internet was around this time for sure. Miss my little Sony MP3 player & downloading albums from blogs & Soulseek in the early ‘00s, specifically!

Not specifically socialist but I’m a big fan of the Valley Labor Report (“Alabama’s ONLY union talk radio show!”) out of Huntsville.

Oh wow! Small world indeed! Used to get take out from Thai One On a lot that was pretty good but can’t say I ate out there a lot besides the Waffle House when I’d do overnight shifts at RMC.

Ooh you get an instant follow. Have in-laws near Opelika & worked in Anniston for about 2 years. So much to love/hate about AL!

An illustration of a figure in Western dress fighting a giant snake with a sword

I recently became acquainted with "Osanaetoki Bankokubanashi" 童絵解万国噺, a Japanese illustrated history of America from 1861. The retelling of the revolutionary era is quite something. Here, for instance, is John Adams wielding a sword in mortal combat with a gigantic serpent.

Once again, if you know anything about who is behind the DHS or ICE social media accounts, particularly on X, I'm very interested in talking to you. hannahgais@proton.me or 334-315-8634 on Signal.

I have not seen Akram’s posts in my feed or any other Palestinian friends I’ve become close with or as close as we can through this app and through telegram, but if you have not given to his family’s campaign, click his link that can be found anywhere on his page!
