If you are in Canada and know companies that are hiring, can you please help my friend Alexia? She’s brilliant and cool and wonderful and an asylee from the US for being trans. #MutualAid #ElbowsUp #Canada #Solidarity #TransRights
Getting laid off is hard to navigate, in the best of times.

Getting laid off while you’ve fled your country for being both Hispanic and trans and awaiting asylum in a new country feels especially cruel.

I’m crushed.

This selective solidarity always reveals just how superficial many of these people’s support for Palestine actually is. For many Western anti-imperialists, the Palestinian cause has become a “progressive” mask to conceal deeply held pro-authoritarian sympathies. (1)

Carol Pateman’s seminal work THE SEXUAL CONTRACT teaches all society derives from the need to define male property rights to women. A poll favoring immigrant women married to American men before immigrant parents of American children (who would have to be adopted if deported) shows this.
Deporting undocumented immigrants only gets to 22% in this YouGov poll. 6/

Honestly ! This is how I’ve been viewing it!!! How can we organize and get better people into office when we let in dipshits because everyone drank from the propaganda hose
Imagine being so brain-poisoned on consumer capitalism that you think about voting as a reward for the candidate being the bestest boy or girl instead of understanding it as an exercise in collective action to choose one of a limited number of possible futures that we must all experience together.

As Melissa points out in the replies, this guy, who also proposes putting women in "breeding gulags" to be repeatedly raped and forced to give birth, had dinner with the president of the United States.
Fuentes, yesterday: “Our #1 political enemy is women because women constrain everything, every conversation, every man, everything. They have to be imprisoned. They are the ones that are hurting the fertility rate. They're the ones making us sympathetic to poor people, which are also brown people.”
Nick Fuentes: “The number one political enemy in America is women. … They have to be imprisoned.”

I like both Crockett and Talarico. I’d be happy with either as my senator.

But IDGAF. I’m voting for my girl @jasmineforus.bsky.social . Every problem in our country starts with abandoning Black people. Fuck that shit. She gets it, she’s talented, she fights, I trust her. Solidarity always!
Just 4 days until early voting starts in Texas (Feb 17). Do you have a plan to vote? 👊🏽

SURYA did the backflip 20 years ago *ON ONE LEG* and it was an illegal move and she lost points for it. Now it’s cheered and rewarded and he only does it in both legs.

I previously said “Sinners is the better film but OBAA is the more important one.” But this exegesis by the great Ebony Noor makes me reconsider how salient it is on whiteness and leftism today with a great lesson for us all. Thank you @darlingebony.bsky.social , I am grateful for this wisdom.
1/? SPOILERS: I didn't get to see "Sinners" while it was at the theater because life was so busy. But I made a comment yesterday about how an analogy could be made between Remmick, the first vampire seen in the film and these so-called "leftists" we see in politics.

14/? I have seen them claim to fight Islamophobia after 9/11 but then drop that cause for Black Lives Matter only to drop Black Lives Matter for Palestine. I remember they said they couldn't vote for Hillary b/c of Libya, yet not a word about Libya now. The list goes one. They are cultural vampires.

This is an EXCELLENT thread on whiteness as property (see Harris’s Harvard Law Review article). One amplification: the Choctaw sent 5k$ in today’s terms despite the Trail of Tears to Ireland to help with the famine. This is why Irish people honor Choctaw even today!

So much of the rot in this country stems from our failure to fund public goods and regulate private wealth. In that context, people who need your money won't care how terrible you are.

Not quite right. Dolan, per Spanish book from conclave leaks, was tricked to cajole conservative Africa and Asia cardinals into supporting Leo. And then Leo said, “thanks, sucker, don’t let the door hit your right wing reactionary ass on the way out.” CUPICH STRIKES AGAIN.
Dolan is a partisan culture warrior bishop & was influential in the Church during the JP 2/Benedict era. His influence basically evaporated with the election of Pope Francis. Pope Leo is like Pope Francis & thus it’s not surprising he’s moving so quickly to accept Dolan’s retirement. 3/3

CUPICH strikes again. Somebody get Chalamet the biopic rights. Bro outmaneuvered the entire right wing Curia ossified under JPII to get Francis and his protege Leo into the papacy.
