Tina Peters should not be in a cage. Nobody deserves the hell she’s enduring, not even racist old white ladies. Her sentence was excessive, ineffective, and absurd, as is the partisan carcerality that prioritizes politics & profit over safety & human decency. Good luck Tina.

they’ve just handed Senator Mark Kelly the democratic presidential nomination and the presidency itself on a platter, if he wants it.

holiday is when? in 3 days? ok I guess it’s time to start looking at cross-country flights.

liberals get on here and lament as real fake quotes/claims without an ounce of epistemological interrogation.
in that way, [here] is very much akin to IRL in that the lack of intellectual curiosity, reflection, and judgment are profoundly disappointing.

Israel has violated the U.S.-brokered Gaza ceasefire nearly 500 times in 44 days—killing 342 civilians, including children, women, and the elderly.
That's more than 11 violations every single day.
The genocide never stopped. Palestinians are still being killed.

tbh what seems demented is how yall keep sharing things that are fake and then when we explain to you it’s fake your response is inevtiably that it being fake doesn’t matter and that it could have been real and yet somehow you think you’re better/different than the fools on the far right

Two children have been killed every day in Gaza since the so-called ceasefire began.
Why has this disappeared from the headlines?
The genocide never ended — and our government is still complicit.
End all arms sales to Israel, now.

Since February, according to my latest analysis, almost 600,000 Black women have been economically sidelined. The November 20, 2025, Jobs Report makes clear this isn’t a blip. It’s a structural crisis. That is not a recovery. It is a redistribution of opportunity.

Periodic reminder that direct action is a fundamental form of protest.
It is the original form of protest.
To refuse to accept the status quo, to intervene in an effort to shift power from the oppressor to the oppressed is protest.

Today, the House will vote on whether or not to reinstate cash bail in D.C. – an outdated policy that hasn't been in effect there in 30+ years.
Cash bail doesn't make communities safer. It throws them deeper into poverty:

3/ Gay was pushed out for other reasons. But she was no friend to Black students, Palestinian students or the cause of free speech. She was an overseer, through and through—so, trying to stop this retcon before it takes off. Gay acted with ZERO concern for Black students, faculty or liberation.

Everything they are doing to Palestine, all the horrors and atrocities they're committing, is SETTLER COLONIALISM.
Palestine must be viewed through the lens of racist settler colonialism, racist settler colonial governments, and the empire who sponsors them.

Alice is the gold standard of what Twitter was when it was great - how you could just find these brilliant, remarkable people with the kind of voices that rarely get platformed or taken seriously, and hear about their lives in their own words without intruding on them or demanding emotional labor
Watching disabled people around the world mourn Alice is a reminder of the good aspect of the internet. 30 years ago, few people outside of SF would ever have known Alice existed. I never would have met her. The internet connected us all. Let’s honor Alice’s memory by using that power and community.
My social media is wall-to-wall love for the incomparable Alice Wong, and I need more words. What captures sadness and/also affection for a community that knows what's been lost?
