An orange bowl of Halloween candy sits on a gray stoop step. It's filled with copies of Octavia Butler's Parable of the Sower and has a note taped to it that says "one copy per child thx"

When this is all over anyone who ever worked for ICE needs to show up on maps for the rest of their lives the way sex offenders currently do

The meme says "come and take it" And it shows Shadow holding a bottle of Tylenol

Idk dude america has been effectively fascist for a fuckin minute. It didn't start this year I tell ya that

does anybody else feel like they are watching a mass psychosis

Google Secretly Handed ICE Data About Pro-Palestine Student Activist Google handed over Gmail account information to ICE before notifying the student or giving him an opportunity to challenge the subpoena.

I cannot stress this enough: do not use email for organizing. Set strict retention so emails delete after a short period of time. Assume every Big Tech company will rat you out to the gestapo without lifting a finger to protect your rights theintercept.com/2025/09/16/g...

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH

Hey all! I'd like to thank the world's media institutions, and of course the Bluesky mods, for being totally normal and proportional about a barely famous trans woman cracking wise about a Nazi's death.

it kills me knowing what’s needed is for people to double down on bucking any demands for “civility” because they understand these demands are training people to surveil & snitch on their neighbors and an exploit to intensify authoritarian control over our thoughts.

Real shit real talk:

They are going after the trans flag as a way to legally legitimize it as a "hate symbol" that they can then bring terrorism/RICO charges against trans people.

As described almost explicitly in "Project Esther".

“But it’s making MAGA mad.”

WHO THE FUCK CARES? Tell me how it weakens ICE. Tell me how it protects trans kids. Tell me how it frees detainees. Tell me how it makes a material difference to a single living being. Tell me how it fights fascism.

Tell me how this is anything but bread and circuses.

I genuinely cannot believe how many Democrats are spending their energy on destroying Mamdani when the GOP is trying to turn ICE into a full on secret police by drastically raising their budget

For those of you too young to remember terminally online 2016 discourse or who’ve forgotten: Third Way is a conservative-funded think tank whose sole purpose is to launder right wing ideas into the Democratic Party. Ignoring them isn’t enough, they’re a tumor that should be removed

the democrats could easily out-message the republicans on trans rights, but they do not want to. they know what works and what doesn't and they will keep doing what doesn't work on purpose

DOGE's cuts to USAID "have already resulted in about 300,000 deaths, most of them of children"

I don't think it's an exaggeration to say Elon Musk is a mass murderer, and GOP Congressmembers are his accomplices

They, too, should be asked in every interview 'why did you help Elon kill those kids?'

My toxic trait is that I give a fuck

Critical humanities discourse on AI will be doomed if it does not come up with better metaphors. Corporate AI is not a «cognitive entity» or some «other intelligence». It's a political project and a system of surveillance, extraction & exploitation

the narrative with ‘white genocide’ lately isn’t an accident, this is an intentional effort to continue pushing the overton window as far as they can to completely reverse all social progress. these people are genuinely sad aparteid ended

Your daily reminder that the U.S. Postal SERVICE is a service that is designed to benefit taxpayers and not a business that should be expected to turn a profit.

I block people without comment if they represent themselves as progressive, but I see that their timeline is filled with Gen AI imagery, which consumes resources and destroys the livelihood of creative people

Keep that fascist boomer slop away from me, please

“I asked ChatGPT-“ okay well I asked the big oak tree at the center of the woods and she said you’re a lazy dork

Freedom to liberals is sentimental. Means nothing. Empty. Individualist. Freedom needs to be realized through the end of class based exploitation. The freedom to have your basic needs met. The freedom to not have what you produce with your labor acquired by a billionaire to sell for profit.

You guys don’t need to try to convince me that any form of AI has merit. It doesn’t. It is boring and half-assed. I am fine getting by with human brain power. If the world nears its end and AI has one hater left, good news! I am still alive.

What people really don’t want to hear is that shaming people who brag about writing emails with AI would be just fine. Admirable in fact. Norms can sometimes do what law won’t.

ppl on tiktok are going "omg we're about to have an art renaissance like in the 1920s, music and stories are gonna be great" girl how 😭 you already don't support the artists that we have right now and most of yall are using chatgpt and devaluing actual human-made artwork.

the way i see it, removing fda inspections means food safety will become a luxury for the rich

RT if you fuck with trans men and trans women or if you think Elon musk should live just long enough to see everything he's built crumble in front of him
