How do I explain to offline people that my favorite Japanese mascot said "we can only be liberated from queer oppression if we are truly seen as human" and then started wielding fireworks like a rocket launcher on the side of a mountain without sounding like I've totally lost it?

Chiitan forever

NEW: A professor at Rutgers University who wrote a book about “antifa” almost a decade ago is trying—and struggling—to flee the US for Europe after a weeks-long online campaign against him by far-right influencers was followed by death threats. www.wired.com/story/mark-b...

hi hello unpaywalled

"Baby in her placenta"

I'm a "glass is half-full" kinda guy, so let's look at the upside of the Riyadh Comedy Festival: We never, ever have to even pretend to take any of these "anti-woke" "free speech warriors" seriously, ever again.

The thing is, CNN knew Project 2025 really was Trump's plan. We all knew.

That's why @mississippifreepress.org had a special section on our elections page devoted to helping people understand what the Project 2025 plans would mean for their lives.

Meanwhile, legacy media laundered Trump's lies.

It took me a really long time to learn how to exist with longer nails, but now it feels weird, not to have them

Gee, I'm starting to think that maybe it's a bad idea to provide these services with identity documents...

US anti-fascism expert, @mark-bray.bsky.social, tries to fly to Spain to keep his family safe after receiving death threats, and has his flight mysteriously cancelled. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Wow, Nova Scotia, not cool!

I injured my spine after flippantly ignoring a hurricane warning and going surfing and they still (thankfully) fixed me and i can walk again as a result. That injury was MY FAULT.

This woman had CANCER. Not her fault.

Mark Bray wrote a great book about antifascism and its history. He’s now being targeted by right-wing provocateurs.

Here’s an angle for a journalist looking for a fresh take on the White House “Antifa” roundtable — most of the people who participated are employed by or have a direct financial connection to Turning Point USA. I think that’s pretty telling, no?

NEW: A copy of the arrangement with Eswatini that Mother Jones reviewed shows that the US has agreed to pay the only absolute monarchy in Africa $5.1 million to take in up to 160 ICE detainees.

That's incredibly creepy

“Someone” cancelled my family’s flight out of the country at the last second.

We got our boarding passes. We checked our bags. Went through security. Then at our gate our reservation ‘disappeared.’

Trying to wrangle the antifa marketing department is like herding cats in part because most of them are cats

OK. It's going to be coming out soon because of the relentless investigations of Pam Bondi and Kash Patel, so I might as well admit it before the news breaks:

I am the General Counsel of Antifa.

Alllll the time
