Damn, this hits home with me. Jessica Kant, "Why Calling Anti-Trans Hate a “Distraction” Is So Troubling" The Nation Oct. 20, 2026. www.thenation.com/article/poli...
Really want to post more art and not just politics but literally incumbent washington dems are so freaked out that a few activists made a fucking transparent candidate endorsement and funding aggregator!!!! That they are doing petty sniveling high school antics!
More explicitly a relative of Rep. Pollet, Eileen, who owns a consulting firm that a lot of Dems have used, bought leftycheatsheet dot com and is redirecting it to the FUSE guide as an attempt to confuse people trying to find leftycheatsheet.org
Who is on it? 12.3% of the blocked say they're trans in their bio. Among people who talked to him in the same weeks and were left alone: 6.7%. That's a floor, as most of us don't put it in a bio.
⚠️ Border wall contractors plan to remove thousands of sacred saguaros (ha:ṣañ) on sovereign O'odham land starting Monday — Indigenous People's Day. Tadai Me:i Camp calls supporters to join in prayer and protest on the Tohono O’odham Nation.
We stand with the Tohono O'odham nation against the construction of a second border wall that would further desecrate Quitobaquito Springs and 62 miles of sovereign land. For centuries the Tohono O'odham people lived free of barriers, surveillance, and militarization.
Have I personally been harassed by n@zis for my views this week? Yes! Is that going to shut my mouth? NO! ICE has picked up BIG again in our area, and we're furious. Call your reps. Also: we have whistle kit materials at the shop, just ask at the counter. Assemble and take them with you for free.
YOUR ENEMIES LAMENT YOUR VERY EXISTENCE. HAVE YOU EATEN TODAY?
Centrists and liberals consistently see radical organizing as more of a threat than the far-right (whom they try to appease/work out arrangements with) and often act accordingly. Hard not to read the escalating anti-trans drumbeat from Dems in that context.
Certainly there can be a temptation to name a range of other empiricisms to go with it, and I have always felt that people could have more to say about it, but I think it's important to recognize "white empiricism" as a structural feature built around a power structure, not individual identities
"white empiricism" is a shorthand for the broader ways in which white supremacist patriarchy assigns the property of "scientist" and "rational thinker" only to thinkers who embody white supremacist patriarchy in some legible way or who at least openly align with it
[politics, activism] I was looking at volunteering for food not bombs, and I’m not sure if I like the vibe? Someone please tell me if this is ridiculous, but I’m trying to make sure I get involved with volunteering sustainably. And I see stuff about “emergency protests” on issues that are total[...]

Basically I guess to sum up my stance on this it's that "theft of technology" usually occurs in severe circumstances as a cultural reaction to financial predation by large capitalist structures - this is how hip-hop for example comes out of the Bronx after riots in the 70s - black artists were
me realizing @meri.garden asked me about anti-globalization specifically and how it compares to the pro/anti-genAI talks and I fucking skipped to another example but I realize I meant to get back to that so actually for everyone cuz I think that everyone could benefit from learning about this
Test post (this is supposed to go out on @flammableengineering)
A few days ago, canvassers paid by Oracle were trying to sell Santa Fe County on the Project Jupiter data center greenwashing. Building will be in Doña Ana County, many miles south and New Mexico's most dominantly Hispanic/Latine county by 2020 census.
Google fucking killed AlphaFold. It's open season on AI now: there are no longer any "good" AIs. https://pivot-to-ai.com/2026/07/30/google-kills-alphafold-so-much-for-ai-curing-cancer/
Inflicting trauma is not activism. Before you decide that people "cannot look away" or "need to be informed", consider who might see your post. Ask yourself if you're going to put someone in danger mentally.
Good idea to start mentioning the PROTECT Act as something to oppose now when making your calls to representatives
The PROTECT Act requires all internet platforms (like this one) collect model releases and government IDs for everyone in anything nude or sexual. Not just OnlyFans, but Heated Rivalry and Hunting Wives and Mapplethorpe and top surgery photos.
🚨 I AM MOVING OUT ON SHORTER NOTICE. MY FAMILY SUCKS ASS AND I AM GETTING OUT OF HERE. CW for some details re: ableism, emotional/mental abuse, and overall very shitty/paranoid parenting in my current situation. { 1/7 } ko-fi.com/m0llystars
hey so heads up, i'm going to have a more serious post coming up pretty soon (later today?) regarding me moving out i haven't had to make a post like this before, but things have been admittedly very dicey on my end and in case it seems out of nowhere of me, just know it's been brewing for a while.
you either Abolish Sex or we are all doomed
My god. The Heritage Foundation, which mercilessly attacked transgender kids in order to protect the "integrity of women's sports," is now attacking the legal basis for women's sports. The transgender student decision is barely 2 weeks old.
black ppl been saying this forever but nobody fucking listens to us ofc.
You can and should point out that police killing people daily is the "norm" in America. But that doesn't mean you *accept* the normalization of this violence and the way some people rush to smugly point these things out contributes to collective fatigue. Your horror has been stolen from you.
Not exaggerating when I say that the collective action in Minnesota will be studied for generations if not centuries to come
