Probably should've put this up sooner, but I am not one of those "alt" gov accounts. Like I'm not the alt geological department or anything.

I've noticed the opposing team's fans only cheer when the opponents score on us. To win those fans over, I recommend we score on ourselves repeatedly; that will surely make them so happy they'll start supporting us. And I'm sure all our fans will keep cheering for us—who else is there to cheer for?

Happening now: we're at the Broadview ICE facility outside Chicago.

CCSO + Broadview police are telling protesters + press they can't stand on the west side of 25th Street for any reason.

We asked what the precise public safety issue is. They just said they're anticipating cars coming through.

the epstein files aren’t dropping & this isn’t a distraction from them.

this is a fascist setting up the field to eliminate every point of friction that might impede an attempt to seize absolute power.

quippy posts about epstein are delaying your realization of, & motivation to fight, that fact.

Living in a neoliberal dystopian hellscape @breakify.bsky.social · 15h

Only socialism can defeat fascism. If you force people to choose between neoliberalism and fascism, the latter will win every time. The problem with having neoliberals in power is that they'd rather let the fascists win than ever cede power to socialists.

Letitia James and James Comey have the best lawyers on earth and will almost certainly be fine. The fact that there’s a zillion stories about them and virtually none about NSPM-7 - which affects countless ordinary people - really says something about who the media writes for

So yes, I'm a leftist because I'm anticapitalist and all in on the class war. But I also want the ENTIRE working class to be liberated, not just cishet white abled folks.

All bashing wokeness does is leave most of the working class behind.

Queer people are the working class. Arab and Muslim people are the working class.

The working class is intersectionality personified. It's not three cis straight white men in an Ohio diner.

Just to be clear:

Trans people are the working class. Black people are the working class. Immigrants are the working class. Pregnant people are the working class. Brown people are the working class. Asian people are the working class. Disabled people are the working class.

Naoise's brother is asking Irish people to please contact the government #Speirgorm

My sister @NaoiseDolan, alongside other members of the Thousand Madleens flotilla, has been abducted by Israeli forces while on a humanitarian mission to break the illegal siege and deliver aid to Gaza.
Please join me in urging the Irish government to demand their safe return.

reactivating solely because CBC, KKKlanada's public broadcaster, found another Ukrainian Nazi to interview after two years of crying about antisemitism!

they have since blurred his swastika tattoo, without mentioning what they are blurring or why!

Ukro-Nazi featured on CBC: The National. swastika tattoo is prominent and visible.

swastika tattoo (now shamelessly blurred to prevent the audience from knowing this is a Nazi)

There can be no social justice without disability justice.

You want to fight fascism? Engage the disability community.

Practice inclusivity. Wear a mask. Make protests and resistance accessible.

Don’t treat us expendable, less than or “better off dead”.

Don’t leave us behind.

"What would Landlords do if they couldn't be Landlords?"

"They would have to get a job like everyone else."

"That would be terrible!"

"You're a Landlord aren't you?"

"How did you know?"

"Only a Landlord would say it would be terrible, to everyone else it is normal."

“As the borders between science and advocacy blur, fringe ideas with no evidentiary basis or mainstream medical support increasingly carry the potential to drive policy” - Excellent piece by @evanurquhart.bsky.social on Genspect’s recent campaign to repathologise “transgender identification”.

Assigned Media @assignedmedia.org · 1d

A fringe group wants the field of psychiatry to regress back to the days when stereotypes and prejudices resulted in mental illness diagnoses for marginalized populations.

In a new reported piece, @evanurquhart.bsky.social examines Genspect's call for the re-psychopathologization of trans identity.

Hate Group Calls for Re-Labeling Transness as Mental Illness — Assigned

A fringe group with no expertise pushes the field of psychiatry to regress to a pre-scientific, prejudice-soaked view of trans people. It coincides with the far-right political agenda.

The Nobel Peace Prize is garbage, they have given it to Maria Corina Machado because she is the person they want to takeover Venezuela so they can loot its oil.

Donald Trump will get it next year for Gaza, no matter how many people die there in the next year.
