We are not subjects of a State founded upon law, but members of a society formed upon revolution. Revolution is our obligation: our hope of evolution.

Unsafe: The Carceral Roots of the Anti-Trans Backlash
The fiercest battles over gender today aren't just about identity or womanhood--but about punishment, fear, and control. The twenty-first century "gender wars" have been driven by a powerful and seduc...

a CEO can say literally anything in this country and it’s treated as news. it doesn’t matter if it’s remotely true.
Bohs were resilient today. Great comeback, and they put some distance between themselves and Dundalk.
Bohs really need a striker who can hold the ball up and play with their back to goal. Whelan and James-Taylor both leave a lot to be desired in that regard.
lol they turned bigotry against Arabs and Muslims into a national pastime, oddly, like they’re doing now
Senator Elissa Slotkin@slotkin.senate.gov · 2d agoBut that feeling of a shared bond among all Americans in the early weeks after the attack is something I’m so glad I got to experience. Because it’s the thing that I think we’re missing the most today.
#OtD 11 Sep 1973 right-wing general Pinochet launched a coup against the elected left-wing government in Chile of Salvador Allende. Backed by the US and UK, Pinochet went on to torture, jail and kill 10,000s of working class activists stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/8360...
Possibly controversial scotch opinion: Lagavulin 8 is better than Lagavulin 16 while costing considerably less money.
I've started doing daily 45-minute walks now that I'm physically able, and I think it's been beneficial to my health in many ways.
Anything less than unqualified support for trans folks, including trans kids, is bigotry. Tired of people's shit.
No Dem has ever earned a single vote with this cowardly mealy-mouthed bullshit and the GOP will just say he is pro mandatory transitions for infants no matter what his position is. No upside whatsoever other than just being a pisspig bigot.
Erin Reed@erininthemorning.com · 4d agoHere we go… Talarico says “I oppose trans athletes playing in girls sports if it endangers safety or fairness.” It doesn’t, but Talarico is begging the question: does he believe in trans sports bans?

"A Jew I see, a Jew I attack. Spain is Christian, not Muslim." 🇪🇸 Antisemitic and Islamophobic chants from several Real Madrid fans yesterday, ahead of the #ChampionsLeague match against Inter.
hey remember when everyone canceled their openai accounts and switched to anthropic because they wouldn’t allow their models to be used for autonomous weapons? turns out
Hypervisible @hypervisible.blacksky.app · 4d agoI’m old enough to remember people calling them the ethical ai company.
I find it pretty disgusting that these ‘leaders’ see an open ethnic cleansing campaign against Palestinians done by illegal settlers and their reaction was to claim - baselessly - that doing the bare minimum according to international law would put British Jews at risk. It’s just a lie.
centrists will work with fascists when it suits them, and then if the fascists take power they'll shrug and go about their lives thinking "well at least the streets are safer" which will be itself a lie, but they'll think it just the same
Paul Hebden@paulhebden.bsky.social · 6d agoMarine Le Pen I rated at 68% to win in a final round run off. AfD are in the driving seat in Germany. The UK has regular fascist street mobilisations. When will centrists decide it is time to act against fascism?
Honestly, I’ve been in a particularly sour mood about the labor mvmt this past year. How many times can you hear “solidarity forever” & still deal w/BS. The best members of our mvmt are organizing in spite of this fascist gov’t and the “leaders” who slow-walk progress Militant unionism or bust

It is demeaning to be forced to sell away our time and creativity rather than being free to do things that are intrinsically meaningful. On the scale of the planet, the name for this problem is capitalism. From the vantage point of the individual, the name for it is work. crimethinc.com/antiwork 🧵

The tech collective behind NoBlogs.org and a host of other free online initiatives has announced that they are shutting down as a consequence of the US State Department designating them a "global terrorist." This represents a significant blow to online freedom. keepitfree.ai/announcement...

Passing along a question from someone else: "Does anyone know of a peer respite (or a similar non-carceral and non-coercive place to stay when experiencing suicidality/distress) local to Seattle?"
The reason we spend so much money being awful to unhoused people is the system needs a visible reminder of what landlords and bosses are threatening you with.
A.R. Moxon@juliusgoat.bsky.social · last wk.Our society's unfathomable cruelty to homeless people is not just morally unjustifiable, but more expensive than housing people would be. Cruelty against the homeless is an unaffordable luxury. Abandoning homeless people to avoid offending the Protestant work ethic is an unaffordable luxury.
Massachusetts peeps: does anyone have experience with operating a bank account for a 501(c)3 nonprofit, and is there a bank you have found easy to work with? The org I volunteer with is using TD Bank, but we are growing increasingly frustrated with them, and we're interested in alternatives.
