Pray for us.
Is it possible that we have survived?
Will they be able to stop this genocide and massacre?
Increase your prayers for us.

BDS is a great way to help people in Occupied Palestine and oppose fascism in the United States at the same time. The best part is that it's easy and fun!

Many people I've met have told me they feel too overwhelmed by the list to start. But here's the thing:

Guide to BDS Boycott & Pressure Corporate Priority Targeting

Ending the complicity of states, corporations, and institutions in Israel’s ongoing, live-streamed genocide against 2.3 million Palestinians in Gaza is the most effective form of solidarity with the P...

I just signed an executive order declaring Donald J. Trump a simpleminded bore, a menace to free speech and democracy, and The Worst—By Far—President in History.

Maybe it wasn’t the best idea to elect a thin-skinned crybaby who never felt loved as a child.

A broader refusal of talent to work for Disney would be immensely disruptive. It's not just Star Wars and marvel. It's also 20th century studios, Pixar, and a plethora of other content.

A creative boycott of Disney would destroy them.

LOST writer-producer Damon Lindelof says he won’t work with Disney unless Kimmel js reinstated. I’m hearing other talent weighing similar pledges.

Fascism only works if we don't care for one another. That's its weakness: if we help each other for nothing in return, if we offer solidarity that isn't transactional but just because we love the people in our communities, there's no way they can stop us.

Find what marginalized people in your community need that you can provide, and just...do that.

You don't have to save the world. You don't have to lead the revolution. Just help one person. And then...do it again.

I had two connections on Facebook drop me faster than I drop my panties at the end of the workday because I made a post with a picture of Taylor with the sniper gun. Conservatives are not okay

Decrying violence against political opponents rings a bit hollow when you pull Secret Service protection from your political opponents.

Both of the co-founders of Turning Point USA died from things that were preventable, but which they mocked and urged this nation to ignore. Bill Montgomery was killed in 2020 by COVID and Charlie Kirk was killed in 2025 by gun violence.

Today is an ideal day to learn about Horst Wessel. The Nazis used his murder as a propaganda bonanza.

This is actually INCREDIBLY antisemitic but because Nancy Mace supports Benjamin Netanyahu and his merry band of genocidal fascists I guess it's okay now amirite

Rep. Sara Jacobs (D-Calif.) argued on the House floor Wednesday that breast enhancement is gender-affirming care, prompting Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) to call her “ridiculous,” “disgusting,” and later insult her appearance.

“PS – I have a good surgeon if you ever want to get your nose done,” Mace snarked at Jacobs, who is Jewish.

Politicizing Gun Deaths:

Jenna Ellis asked conservatives not to let any sympathy for the gay victims of an Orlando mass shooting make them any less anti-LGBTQ.

Charlie Kirk asked conservatives not to let any sympathy for the victims of a Louisville mass shooting make them less anti-gun-control.

Maybe you didn't live such a good life if your fans' response to your death at the hands of a young white man is to harass and threaten Black people on the other side of the country.
