The Real Terror of Halloween
Halloween is the deadliest day of the year for US child pedestrians, and it's not even a contest.

this graph is very bad and I'm glad it gets used to highlight the uniquely American danger on Halloween but don't sleep on the other thing it shows, which is an average of about 10 kids getting run over on American streets every single day of the year
Yes, Halloween is the deadliest day of the year for child pedestrians—great advice from @mcbazacophd.bsky.social

Remember, kids, Halloween is the most dangerous night of the year for pedestrain deaths from automobiles, so if you see a car out there, make sure to slash its tires

Car-centric infrastructure is a key aspect of youth oppression in the US. Of course it's classist and racist as hell too, but the main casualities of this policy will always be children.

I see people replying to this like “wow so if a trans kid breaks their leg, they won’t help them?” No dumbass, you should be upset that they’re not letting kids medically transition, you don’t need to make up a hypothetical reason to be mad about it, it’s infuriating by itself
The White House plans to bar hospitals that treat transgender children and youth from getting any Medicare and Medicaid payments. The move would affect trans youth who have private insurance, too. n.pr/4qFa1mY
Trump pushes an end to medical care for transgender youth nationally

If people actually understood how willing our government is to go to war with its own people simply for demanding equal rights, I think a lot more of us would be ready for war.

The #Trump admin is dismantling the Department of Education, the left is freaking out about it, but we haven't even touched WHY public #education came to exist in the first place: to stop people from organizing, and to blame the poor for their own conditions.

We Don't Need No Education
Public education is facing a reckoning in the US. As we're experiencing its collapse, now is a great time to review from the beginning: what is it actually for?

It's not just "because of the president." This is part of a LONG pattern of adults barring youth access to public spaces, escalating faster since the 1980s. Obviously the mass ICE raids are even worse - just another example of how racism and youth oppression overlap.

The left's approach to children needs to be way, way, way more political than it is. Most people on the left still treat youth liberation like a joke, if they've heard of it at all.
There's a reason that kids are one of the easiest political/legal/social targets! We should be talking about it!

We literally do disagree about this, though. Some politicians want to take food from children and some politicians don't. Pretending this "isn't political" just allows the child-starving ghouls to get away with it.
Tell people who supports the *political program* to feed children and who doesn't!

To support youth autonomy and fight the "parents' rights" movement, it's not enough to just gentle parent and hope for the best.
The left needs to take a principled stance against parents and against the family form. Here's why: antiparent.com/why-antipare...

Setting aside the content under the tarp for a moment, teens were asked to make art expressing what it is like to be a teen, and the end result was a mural wrapped in a tarp by adults.
I bet a lot of teens would find this expressive of their experience.

Protesters blocked a major road on Saturday outside London's King's Cross, calling for the UK to impose a full trade embargo on Israel.
Organized by young activists, the protest condemns UK arms sales to Israel and the Starmer government's complicity in the ongoing bloodshed in Palestine.

the way you actually fight fascism is by locking up as many of their leaders as you can as quickly as you can, and identifying all their sources of power and influence and breaking those. they control the courts? break their control of the courts. crush fox news. destroy the federalist society. etc
“we are fighting fascism by passing the bipartisan infrastructure bill” is the lie you tell yourself because you cannot live with the truth that you are unwilling to take the risks associated with actually fighting fascism
