George Floyd should still be here to celebrate his 52nd birthday. His life sparked a movement, and our fight for justice, accountability, and humanity continues. We’ll never stop saying his name.

My most cynical and ghoulish thought is that they're counting on her not living out her term. That way they can have a special election that'll get national attention and fundraise off it.

In 2011 me and my friend got an offer on an apartment that my friend-of-friend was living in. The rent was increased $500. I asked if we’d get improvements to the place commensurate with a $6000 annual increase. My offer was immediately rescinded. This is my leftism origin story

I made print copies of my book a fundraiser to raise awareness of food sovereignty/security issues in the North, but the PDF is free if you want to download + donate directly to QCFC + other orgs.

The @chicago.suntimes.com photographer who risked their personal health and safety to take this photograph is Anthony Vazquez. Please credit photographers and media outlets. In this age of misinformation, a photo with no context could be anything at all.

BREAKING: Marco Rubio's State Department announces publicly that it is exercising unconstitutional viewpoint discrimination in revoking people's visas based on comments about the killing of Charlie Kirk.

so, a big Resistance account on here kindly reshared my piece, then deleted their original post, and wrote another one linking to an article from a different site that aggregated my reporting here (and did so with due credit to be fair) … social media can be so weird

Boston *will* riot.

Diversity of tactics!

If you’re curious about how you could ever levitate the Pentagon (or maybe just exorcise it), well, they wrote it down. I don’t know how long the list of Historically Significant American Magical Rites is, but this is probably on it.

The upcoming No Kings protest falls almost on the anniversary 1967 “Pentagon Rising” protest, where a hundred thousand people marched to the Pentagon to levitate it 30 feet and turn it orange. Or maybe exorcise it? Different organizers wanted different things.

On the centenary of Thatcher's birth, there have been predictable calls for a memorial to her memory. But Britain's 2300 food banks serve that purpose already.

This is a sidebar but this is a form of manufactured consent of a more broader variety.

What is happening here is that elites enjoy finding everyday actions of the peons (you and me) that we insist a right to enjoy and, instead of taking a serious account of fault, find basis to ridicule.

“We’re saving God by shooting priests in the head with crowd control weapons” is generally something you only get in the most unhinged JRPGs from the SNES era

Please be conscious if you protest this weekend that there are feds at the protest. They look like you and they sound like you, not like Steve Buscemi in that one clip with the skateboard. Thinking you can spot them is self delusion. Nobody you haven’t met needs to know your last name.

This right here is why it's on us men to make behavior of this kind unacceptable. "Joking" about "grass on the field" or whatever must invite immediate scorn and disgust. Advocates of child marriage must become social pariahs. Backlash must be swift and uncompromising.

Next time somebody asks me what Bluesky is like, I'll send them this

It's like Confederate artifacts or Nazi paraphernalia. Sure, historical preservation is important for all kinds of reasons, but "preservation" and "reverence" are two different things.

I can’t help but think today about how many young people were savaged on social media, branded as anti-semites and abandoned by their schools for daring to call for a ceasefire. I remember saying that it was the first time I can remember that calling for ceasefire was regarded as a hostile demand.

nancy no!!!!

When a trans woman dies of natural causes, at an age greater than 75, having lived more than half her life as herself, that is cause for celebration, not mourning.

Thank you, Miss Major.

COLOR TASTE TEXTURE should be a bestseller and have won awards. 😤

My 8 year old is making some legit comics. Hard hitting stuff.
