Donald Trump's 'Board of Peace' is naked colonialism.

And it's not just designed for Gaza.

It's a template for naked American theft and self-enrichment.

Donald Trump needs helpers for his appalling neocolonialist project. What else is this ‘board of peace’? | Owen Jones
Blair, Putin, Erdoğan, Orbán: the names of those invited to serve say it all. And it’s about so much more than Gaza, says Guardian columnist Owen Jones

Just saw it noted that 100% of the world’s Ozempic supply comes from Denmark, as does a somewhat smaller percentage of the world’s insulin. Almost as if it’s really quite a small world!

oh no, are publishers getting squeamish about buying queer books right now for some impossible-to-guess reason??

sounds like our books need to get even more queer, relentlessly queer, battle-axe queer, cackling queer

If you're a writer, wondering why you should bother writing with the world on fire. It feels like it's not important, I need you to understand that it is.

Even if it is just because it keeps you moving forward? Even if it only brings YOU joy, that gives you energy to fight & survive.

ICE threw an explosive at a baby.

No amount of training will stop someone who throws explosives at babies.
”Destiny Jackson said she performed CPR on the infant after the baby stopped breathing and lost consciousness.”

“Jackson said that neither she nor her husband have ever protested before—but now they feel they have good reason to do so.”

ICE tried to kill a baby and an entire family for existing

Fuck these motherfucking monsters. Justice cannot be denied. Whether it's now or in a new administration, every single thing at the scene is culpable for murder.
Holy shit.

Renee Good was alive when the bystander physician asked to check her pulse. She was alive when ICE refused to let him help. She was alive when they told him “I don’t care.”

This is what they've done.
🚨WHOA. The El Paso Medical Examiner says it will rule the death of a 55-year-old Cuban man at ICE's "Camp East Montana" tent camp as a homicide.

He was allegedly choked to death by a guard during a "struggle" after he refused to enter a housing unit without his medications.

Seeing Zohran instantly getting a bunch of shit done in like a week makes you realize that politicians could always do that on some level if they wanted it bad enough and very few of them actually do.

Overpaid centrist and right wing sociopaths live in a bubble and cannot understand the empathy and love that everyday, normal people have for their trans family members and immigrant friends and neighbors. They want people to compromise, to throw away the humans they love. Fuck that forever.

Yes, immigration agents not only took Arnoldo's phone, the 10th grader had to use Find My Phone to locate it — in a vending machine for used electronics, close to an ICE detention center.

There’s a GoFundMe for Jonathan Ross’s legal expenses for murdering Renee Good.

This violates GoFundMe’s Terms of Service. Everyone must report it.

People out there annoyed at politicians saying “fuck” should spend a little more time fighting fascism and a lot less time policing the usage of a word you can hear in a PG-13 movie.

The ICE agent who shot Marimar Martinez in Chicago tried to goad her out of her car.

He said “do something b*tch” and shot her 5 times.

The ICE agent who shot Nicole Renee Good did the same thing. Stood right in front of her vehicle and yelled “f*cking bitch”.

They hate women & it shows.

Trump campaigned on an “America First” platform. Now he wants to "run" Venezuela?

60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. Health care is collapsing. Housing is unaffordable.

Trump should address these major crises at home and end his illegal military adventurism abroad.

If you use “genAI” to “create” for you, I pity you. You’re missing out on the honest joy that putting in the work, digging deep to develop the skills, & getting lost in the moment of it all brings. It’s a deep river that truly feels like it’s what makes us human. But yer like “naw, fakemode pls.”
