Do I need to compile data on almost 600 cops? No. Do I want to? Yes, yes I do. Ugh.

It is a testament to the sheer extent to which these simpering fucking sycophants are not even REMOTELY journalists that someone allegedly fired a shot in a room containing the president and the press pool and WE DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

yeah when you tell the enemy "by the way we aren't abiding by the rules of war" you can't really expect them to follow any rules in return

Two points about the downed F-15 crew in Iran: 1. Hegseth threatened “no quarter” against Iran, making the situation worse for those downed fliers. 2. Media speculation that the fliers could be used as “hostages” is sloppy language. They'd be prisoners of war taken during combat. Not "hostages."

All empires fall, but/and I want a world where they stop arising in the first place. I want a world without the systems of domination that make empires possible.

We could end poverty, homelessness and food insecurity tomorrow if we wanted to. It’s a political choice to spend tax dollars on wars, ICE and corporate greed instead of helping the majority of people. Tax the billionaires. Take care of everyone else.

I've been busy getting the inventory together for the launch of @redcurrentdistro.com's market booth. Right now, our 1st market is scheduled for mid-May. But I wanted to share a sneak peek of these block prints cuz I'm really proud of them. 🖤

This Saturday, millions of people around the US will gather for the No Kings demonstrations. It's a good opportunity to propose more concrete forms of resistance. One thing you could do is set up a table distributing zines and other literature. You can find some here: crimethinc.com/NoKingsMarch

Join the National Lawyers Guild (NLG) and Lawyers for Good Government (L4GG) for a webinar on knowing your risks during an ICE encounter. This webinar is hosted by L4GG, and will feature the NLG's Director of Mass Defense, Xavier T. de Janon.

I went to the candidate forum to hear Rosales try to obfuscate in person. He's working hard to shove his online statements under the rug. You can find a collection of screenshots & other evidence of Rosales' hateful vitriol here: drive.google.com/drive/mobile... He should not be in public office.

Before Anchorage voters elect two new school board members next month, one candidate for Seat C sent screenshots of their opponent’s social media posts out to voters last week.

SURJ is endorsing platner??? are you serious. did they get hacked or something?? WE CAN DO BETTER THAN THE WHITE GUY WITH THE NAZI TATTOO

Every time I hear conservatives speak during candidate forums I feel like the imposter syndrome melt away from my entire body.

Tucker Carlson and MTG aren't 'populists' - they are millionaires who oppose Trump because he is not fascist enough. We must articulate both a popular alternative to the authoritarian neoliberalism of Trump and the insurgent fascist movement that wants to take his place once he falls.

Seth Cotlar@sethcotlar.bsky.social · 5mo ago

Tucker Carlson is now posting about how noble, patriotic British opposition politicians like Oswald Mosley were imprisoned during WWII, suggesting that the same thing might happen to "patriots" like Tucker who dare criticize the current war. www.thejc.com/news/world/t...

We need to stop calling ICE, “ICE.” They are a domestic army used to spread mayhem and terror for political purposes… terrorists in other words. Implying they have a legitimate reason to exist at this point just continues the cycle of letting conservatives rewrite reality and avoid consequences.

When faced with a shockingly exploitative new employment contract that would’ve forced them to sign away their IP, their likeness rights, and their power of attorney, Jupiter Jetson and her coworkers at Sheri’s fought back—fast. They organized a union in SIX DAYS. www.thenation.com/article/econ...

How Brothel Workers in Nevada Just Made Labor History

The courtesans at Sheri’s Ranch were staring down a horrifying new contract. So they did what workers everywhere do: They got organized.

for serious. i am honestly astounded that there is any energy for the campaign of a guy who has a recently hastily covered up nazi tattoo & who posted that racist shit …& other huge red flags i can’t recall because 「racist nazi」 was enough for fucks sake don’t vote for/endorse the racist nazi!

Platner is a trust litmus test for me at this point. I will remember and so will a lot of other people.
