When is everyone gonna come to grips with this and stop falling for negative PR campaigns? None of this controversy is organic, and much of it can be traced back to Israeli firms. For the love of Pete please think about who profits more from a progressive pop star being accused of hate these days.
Of course self-crit was the only part of leftist praxis that liberals and centrists could get behind (because they could make it carceral), & now it's been coopted by fascists to whip y'all up into hate campaigns against the few celebrities brave enough to speak up for Palestine & trans rights
This is a legit catastrophic bill that @govpritzker.illinois.gov is proudly pushing. Call your state senator and tell them to vote NO on SB3977!

It's both Autism Acceptance Week and TDOV and I feel like I'm being overobserved right now
A screenshot of a headline from Slate.com that states "Trump DOJ Refuses to Rule Out Second Amendment Right to Nuclear Weapons"
@iwriteok.bsky.social has been making this joke on Behind the Bastards for years. Looks like you've got some fans in the DOJ stealing your ideas, Robert
This take feels so astroturfed. I wanna know what Biss, a white dude from one of our wealthiest burbs, supposedly did to court Black voters that Kat did not 🙄
My grandmother's favorite candy was Peeps, so to honor her memory I bought a couple of flavors. I know most people think they're gross, but I have a lot of nostalgia for them. The sour watermelon flavor SLAPS, y'all. Mamaw would love these. I'm waiting to open the s'mores Peeps but I'm excited.
No one should be compelled to vote for their own annihilation. Newsom would strip trans rights on a federal level to impress the podcast bro contingent, what part of that do you not understand? Stop forcing him down our throats
it's so cool how the US is basically just announcing to the world that its medium-term strategy for the war is to inflict genocide through drought
I think it's from Dune but I don't care enough to look it up nor do I want my fantasy ruined 😂
Every time I see the phrase Butlerian Jihad, I just envision Judith Butler ending gender with a very large sword in hand
An NPR headline stating "US jobs unexpectedly fell in February." The caption sits below a photo of a blurry person wearing a red puffy coat and black pants walking past a blue and white sign that says "We are hiring. Scan now for more info. Coming soon: Luck in New York."
Unexpectedly? Okay NPR. Only someone with their head in the sand would look at the last six months and NOT expected this.
-5°F in Minneapolis tonight.
At the site where feds killed Alex Pretti, the air still smells faintly of tear gas. Hundreds of people still here behind some impromptu barricades.
Message spray painted on the road reads, "fuck ICE, love always wins."
the failure of democratic leadership to fight back against this tyranny is wholly disqualifying. jeffries refusing to whip votes against ice funding is effectively a tacit approval of the street executions of americans by an unaccountable federal paramilitary. I dunno, man. they’ve abandoned us
How do you plan to do that, sir? Pretty words aren't a substitute for action.
It's not enough to defund or abolish ICE. The entire DHS needs to be dismantled, with its few reasonable functions assigned to different agencies, and not replaced by an equivalent government agency. Demand more from these fascist bastards.

I’m one of the ProPublica reporters who has been documenting the aggressive tactics federal agents are using against immigrants & U.S. citizens
All eyes are on Minnesota right now, but I want to tell you about Arnoldo Bazan, a 16-YO citizen in Houston who was choked by immigration agents in October
I'm glad that people have come to recognize this but it sucks that it took the development of a people eating gestapo force in the US to get y'all here.
I was treated like a crazy person even by SJW Black creators for saying that this is all part of the same problem with policing as an institution & it didn't fucking matter what the races of the victim & perp were in that case. The collective gaslighting was wild.
Every single person who downplayed Justine Damond's murder by cop in 2017 because the cop was a Black immigrant & she was a white woman better own up to that while screaming about Renee Good's murder now. The disease & the symptoms didn't change in the last 9 years just because you saw the light.

Social movements are strong when the rowdy and the peaceful elements work in solidarity with one another. The myth of the provocateur is spread specifically because it undermines that solidarity.
really wish the “opposition” party had not spent years upon years trying to outdo the GOP in lavishing money arms and deference on state security forces
The garage scene is incredible but oh my God the needle drop on that train scene made it impossible for me to hear that song without bursting into tears for YEARS
The Americans finale left me emotionally disemboweled. I've seen it twice and randomly feel the urge to rewatch it every few years
Thank goodness, maybe they can manage this life better than I can
Also listening to Danny Brown's entire discography in order of release was accidentally the perfect thing to do while cooking today. I'm in the midst of some of his more unhinged albums and it's fitting the mood too well.
The fact that the Democrats aren't fighting each other to be the 1st to change their campaign slogans to Impeach the Motherfucker Already & submitting articles of impeachment over war crimes confirms everything many of us have been saying about them for decades. They want to be controlled opposition
