Zine cover reading: MAY DAY STRONG Friday, May 1, 2026 HERE'S WHAT YOU DO No school, no work, no shopping
Made a #MayDayStrong zine! Here's what we're all doing on Friday, May 1, 2026, friends -- and why! Check out the zine in this thread and check out maydaystrong.org for events near you!
DEFUND THE POLICE AND WE DON’T HAVE TO CUT FUNDING FOR ANYTHING ELSE
The idea that people who take significant Covid precautions must be introverts is offensive as hell.
It’s ableist as hell. Performers, Organizers, the biggest extroverts in the world were forced to give up careers because other people wouldn’t mask. We do it because we still can’t afford COVID.
We won.
Tesla Chicago is closed.
Their new location is in a ghost town. They sacrificed visibility to thousands/day--& proximity to the other luxury car dealerships--to get away from us, because we'd turned their brand ambassador location into a liability.
Organizing works.

Same. This feels like an antisemitic conspiracy theory to me, but I am open to actual evidence to the contrary instead of them going “I saw it on Instagram”
Do you have a source for any of that? /gen
Palantir's CEO published a manifesto arguing Western tech firms have a "moral debt" to US military dominance, that AI weapons are inevitable, and that "some cultures are dysfunctional." This isn't just a regularly evil tech or defence contractor, it’s a fascist political project.

I will never not be angry that we could fund every program that actually helps people if we defunded the police. We could house every single homeless person here. We could keep our social services and parks going, and maintain them better than we currently do. It makes me so, so angry.

To put that number into context, that proposed $19 million cut is loads more than Portland Street Services has ever seen, which operates on a shoestring budget.
From the ~$317 million it's getting this fiscal year. That would just bring it down to about ~298 million. That's still higher than any year in Portland's history, despite all the talk of cutting PPB's budget after the BLM protests of 2020. A 6% cut to PPB is a drop in the bucket.
Zio is Klanspeak for Jews
I traveled a lot with my family as a kid. It was a cool experience for sure, but I don't think I would have had a meaningfully worse childhood if I didn't get to do that. Meanwhile, climate change is killing people.
It's always this and never cutting funding for the cops
I feel like more Democrats who are running this year need to make it clear that they will push for a change in leadership. I'm not sure they understand how angry people are at the current leadership
"my wife recoils from me when i wear them" is an amazing self-report

This is how we'd look taking cute couples pics together, but NOOOOOOOOOO you won't shoot your shot

it’s a great day for transphobes to eat shit
THIRTY MINUTES.
thirty goddamn minutes.
the fact that people are allowed to repeat that 70IQ thing without a giant air horn going off directly in their ear is evidence that the PC cancel culture mobs were not nearly ruthless enough

An acquaintance has said that Mossad actually killed Charlie Kirk, not, you know, the guy who bragged about doing it on Discord. Do we have any sources on this? I would love to resolve this situation with them.
According to the data
we are currently seeing
the lowest level
of daily COVID infections
that we have seen in years:
217,000 new daily infections,
and though I know
this is good news,
I can’t help but feel that
217,00 new daily infections
is still very bad news.
The fact that every major police union endorsed Donald Trump is under appreciated in our political discourse.

The Catholic Church, y'all.
These schools want to get public funding while also REJECTING 4-YEAR OLDS because their parents are gay or transgender, just to be clear
There's ONE thoroughly-discredited "study" of "National IQ" that is riddled with this kind of baseless assertion, and it just goes around & around the extreme right, because it affirms their priors. But it's a fairy-story.

We need to establish a social norm that it is acceptable to punch anyone who is wearing "smart glasses" in the face.
