We're ruled by apocalypse fans of varied faiths who are all subservient to Israel and declare it openly. I wrote this in 2021 and they've gotten more blatant since: bsky.app/profile/sara...

A whiteboard leaned against a shelf with many trinkets. On the whiteboard, it says β€œWhen you look at a blank page, think of who you love”

In his acceptance speech for award for best screenplay, Ryan Coogler said β€œwhen you look at a blank page, think of who you love” and I dunno, that really moved me so I wrote it down and sat it on my desk to look at while I work

everyone loved the tech industry's free music and friendship machines of 20-30 years ago. it's unclear what could be causing people to feel the opposite about the industry's new racism and insanity machine

Akinola Davies holding his BAFTA

Akinola Davies holding his BAFTA

Just realized it was Akinola Davies Jr., who is Black, who said "Free Palestine" at the BAFTAs.

So, the BBC will censor a Black man for saying something that is not violent, while also refusing to censor something that is quite violent to Black men.

I fear that men are about to do what men do. They are about to characterize any sober thinking about power as non-technical and therefore unserious.

We have seen this pattern over and over again in tech criticism. Women and people of color repeatedly lead on understanding tech changes.

Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the TaΓ­nos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

How Minneapolis taught America to fight back Our Minnesotan reporters connect with friends and neighbors back home and find resolute resistance to ICE at every turn.

This is a really incredible episode of @revealnews.org, in part bc reporters @artiscuriskis.bsky.social and Nate Halverson are MN natives. Esp love the postal carrier perspective on what has happened to people on his route revealnews.org/podcast/minn...

From the same newspaper that published β€œdid feminism fuck up the work place?”, we now have β€œdid feminism fuck up sex?”

The NYT really is desperate to cater to conservative audiences and it’s just getting more obvious and embarrassing.

Firing or impeaching Kristi Noem is just rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic. Dissolve DHS and create paths to citizenship for all immigrants.

This article is fantastic AND those of us who’ve been organizing since early December are oh-so-very tired.

Time for the second wave of folks to jump in and take on more so we can rest a bit.

If you have capacity, plug in with whatever’s happening in your neighborhood.

I have incarcerated comrades & loved ones who are enduring the daily torture of US prisons. They also continue to make art. They often don't have the proper supplies and yet they make it knowing that it will never make it out to anyone else. But they continue to make art nonetheless. Keep making art

Europe

Is not letting pedophiles skate by the accusations

They are being held accountable

American gov. Would like to bury the whole trove of information

Redacting their names not victims is their revenge

1. It was not an accident.
2. It was not a staffer.
3. While the president may have dementia his racism is not due to dementia.
4. He isn’t sorry. He means every racist thought he shares.
5. His base agrees with him.
6. He will do it again.
7. No one in power will hold him accountable.

Day after day, they walk out anyway. Teenagers choosing conscience over comfort, courage over fear. They keep showing up to protest ICE, cages, and inhumanity. In surprising places like Oklahoma, young people persist.

History moves because they refuse silence.
Never give up on young people.

I think often of the women in the Louis CK storyβ€”how they all left comedy and never went back, but he’s still going. It’s everywhere and it’s such a loss for them and for usβ€”for things they’ll never make that we’ll never see.

This happens with*everything* now. No matter how grave the crime or one-dimensional the injustice, after four days the hivemind of American punditry decides that the Real Story is how the people upset about it are the real villains.

Occupying Hospitals From Gaza to Minneapolis, attacks on health care turn spaces of refuge into sites of state violence.

Alex Pretti's murder struck a nerve in the health care community, not just as a tragic loss of one of their own but as emblematic of the dangers facing workers and the moral basis of medicine itself. @joelleabirached.bsky.social www.bostonreview.net/articles/occ...
