crucial piece from always brilliant @reproutopia.bsky.social "Sexual violence, in other words, is not incidental to the colonial project. It is its grammar."

Sophie Lewis@reproutopia.bsky.social · 6d ago

"Much of the escalation no longer requires secrecy – it is photographed, filmed, and disseminated by its own perpetrators, turning the thousands of members of Israeli society who daily consume and share the footage into co-participants." www.thekeymagazine.com/p/israel-rap...

I hope you read this vital, powerful writing from @reproutopia.bsky.social in today's edition of The Key: "This is what it looks like when a society has settled the question of who counts as rapeable – which is to say, who counts as human." www.thekeymagazine.com/p/israel-rap...

“Everything Is Legitimate”: How Israel Uses Rape as a Tool of Genocide

The rape of Palestinian detainees is so commonplace that it’s no longer hidden. It’s filmed, joked about, and celebrated in parliament. This is no mistake; it’s core to Israel’s colonial project.

So great to be back on Death Panel, to talk the new red scare, the threats both empty and dangerous from the Trump administration, and how they are trying to build a fascist repression international!

‘Get monstrous, my dears’ Beautiful sentiment from @vickyacab.bsky.social This was so moving, honestly brought me to tears

‘Take each others’ suffering more seriously’ @reallandsend.bsky.social Yes. People are not problems.

I wrote about how immigration arrests are at all-time highs, even as ICE is trying to assume a lower public profile. How are they doing this? Look to your local police.

ICE’s Secret Weapon Is in Your Community

While attempting to maintain a relatively lower profile, ICE is managing to arrest record numbers of people. Here’s how it’s doing that.

Reporting on OMB's sweeping politicization of federal grants tends to focus on science / health research. But as I note in this piece for @crisesnotes.bsky.social, the rule is a huge threat to *intergovernmental* grants and state/local fiscal stability. www.crisesnotes.com/russell-voug...

I wrote about the Prairieland defendants and the urgency of opposing the extreme sentences handed down on Tuesday. And they likely will not be the last.

The Prairieland Sentences Are a National Emergency

A federal court has punished Texas ICE demonstrators with decades in prison. This is dark news not just for them but for anyone who may want to register political dissent.

Prison strikers from California to Alabama, the OccupyICE activists, anti-sweeps fast response teams, wildcat strikers from Amazon and Starbucks, MeToo organizers, Tortuguita and NoCopCity, Renee Good and Alex Pretti. And thats just since 2011. Stop talking shit for cheap likes you coward

Every time some one says "why don't Americans rise up?" they put disrespect on everyone who rose up for George Floyd, Brianna Taylor, Eric Garner and Mike Brown, Palestine encampments, LA Portland Chicago and MPLS last year, the anti-fascists who defeated the alt right, Occupiers, No DAPL warriors,

I’m old enough to remember Agape’s role in the morning of June 3rd 2021 at George Floyd Square.

"Oh yeah how would you run a society without a state" probably hit a lot harder before the ecological murder of the planet

the fantasy that they wont do something that is so obviously abhorrent to you, the fantasy that they wont do this to you, the fantasy that because you haven't been effected yet you wont be effected in the future, the fantasy that the american state is a "we", the fantasy that we have no complicity

Im really scared of what these bastards plan to do tonight. I don't have a clever analysis or a joke or take. I hope its all bluster and when tomorrow comes I'll want to get back to promoting my little book and flirting and making jokes, but im full of dread and just want to hold all of you close 🫂🫂

Edwin Park@edwincpark.bsky.social · 4mo ago

New @urbaninstitute.bsky.social estimates of two H.R. 1 cuts targeting #Medicaid expansion: work reporting requirements & 6 month renewals. Depending on state mitigation, expansion enrollment falls 5 to 10 million (27-55%) in 2028 compared to 18 million under prior law. www.urban.org/research/pub...

I feel like we're being primed to blame spurious factors for the impending wave of hospital closures as Medicaid cuts are implemented & ACA marketplace enrollment declines in the absence of premium-lowering subsidies.
