Sending love to my Iranian and Persian friends today.

May we live to see the end of US imperialism.

the war is not "aimless." It is corrupt, unjust and immoral.

Aliya Rahman, woman who was dragged out of car by ICE in Minneapolis: "I've spent the last month learning the names of the tendons in my shoulder, because both of my shoulders are torn -- cartilage and tendons. But what I haven't learned is the names of the people who did this to me."

We lost one of my all-time favorites today. 🥺💔

May Bud Cort get the very best next incarnation possible.

Civil disobedience is synonymous with disobeying the law. That is entirely what it is. That is what it has always meant.

If you are against civil disobedience against ICE you would have been against it for the civil rights movement

How you feeling today?

This is creepy when we recognise contemporary AI is all humans all the way down, just obfuscated behind the screen or dashboard. Based on stolen data, stolen labour, stolen humanity... AI is not currently emancipatory and just serves the privileged and deskills those who think this is automation.

‘In the end, you feel blank’: India’s female workers watching hours of abusive content to train AI Women in rural communities describe trauma of moderating violent and pornographic content for global tech companies

‘About 80% of data-annotation and content moderation workers are drawn from rural, semi-rural or marginalised backgrounds. Firms deliberately operate from smaller cities and towns, where rents and labour costs are lower, and a growing pool of first-generation graduates are seeking jobs.’

"This change is just the nail in the coffin of a carefully calculated plan to turn the United States into the tin-pot dictatorship of my dreams. It’s definitely not because I’m scared of any investigations that the DOJ’s antitrust division may or may not launch."

Homeless Oregon youth got $1,000 a month for two years. Most found housing after • Oregon Capital Chronicle Oregon is the second of its kind in the nation to implement the direct cash transfer program after New York City.

"By the end of the two-year period, 94% of participants reported they were housed."

A million pilot programs show the same thing: when people are given enough money to afford housing, homelessness ends.

Other supports matter, but housing comes first. Not policing. Not moralizing. Homes.

One of the stupid things about the Epstein files is people keep pretending we're going to find in them the facts the victims, who are also the witnesses, have been testifying to for years and years. We already know. Of course he doesn't want to. Of course X is its own child-abuse nexus.....

one of my strongest beliefs is that we're in our situation right now bc some of the most prominent talking heads (e.g. joe rogan, andrew schulz) are learning about politics in their 40s and 50s, instead of their teens and early 20s, and we have to go along for the ride as they learn basic things

Chris was one of our first writers at @scarleteen.com who was not me, and was just a wonderful and delightful person all around. He will be missed. 💔

IMHO, sodomy is always more delicious in the South. I think it’s the greater proximity to people it makes so very mad. 😋

This powerful piece from Jade Wilson is a reminder in troubled times that if we do not find love and family in the homes we are born into, it is possible to build and nurture it for ourselves. We all deserve care and community. www.scarleteen.com/read/relat...

Just visited with Liam and his father at Dilley detention center. I demanded his release and told him how much his family, his school, and our country loves him and is praying for him.

Endlessly useful Zack Fox tweet from 2018: this how photos be lookin in headlines when a white man kills his entire family. (it's a guy on a jetski with wife and daughter.)

Incredibly, this is an actual photo New York Post used for the guy who attacked Ilhan Omar.

Multiple parents of students at Ypsilanti Community Schools were detained by ICE agents on Tuesday, according to a letter by Superintendent Alena Zachery-Ross. The arrests came after reports of ICE activity in Ypsilanti, specifically around the school campus.

Very little if anything seems to have changed on the ground. ICE is still out there terrorizing neighborhoods and trying to disappear neighbors. None of us on the ground are buying this bullshit. We will keep organizing and fighting.

yes, it will be much harder for them to murder people and then go to work the next day as if nothing happened

LIKE.HE.WAS.A.DEER.

Ilhan Omar about to punch a slime bucket of a man, just an absolute potato sack looking motherfucker.

nice argument, unfortunately I have already depicted myself as a squared-up Ilhan Omar and you as a collapsing sewer ogre
