shutting down frat houses won't end rape culture, but it will disorganize a lot of rapists, and i think that's probably worth doing if only to destabilize what is apparently an ecology of organizations that functionally exist to rape women per the whole "purpose of a system is what it does" insight.

What a surprise, the organizers of the covid cautious dyke bar hated the article, rejected its framing, and is defending their covid cautious patrons and performers. Anyone who joined in on the viral harassment campaign started by Jesse Singal wanna say oops or…? recorder.com/2026/09/24/g...

Current and former owners of Last Ditch could not be reached by phone, email or social media. However, Last Ditch did share on Instagram that the Globe story allegedly misconstrued statements from Noire, and urged community members to stop harassing Noire.
"It is neither productive, progressive, nor valiant to attack a Black patron. He has been a collaborator and performer of Last Ditch for a while, and he deserves to speak his mind about accountability and repair from the bar," the Last Ditch statement reads. "There are so many misconceptions due to the disorganization of the Globe article. He did not call for the bar to be firebombed. Further, he did not disparage the owner for being homeless.
"As a result of this abysmal journalism, he has been getting additional threats, slurs, harassment, and is being reported to the police over something he did not do," Last Ditch continued. "This is not supporting us at Last Ditch, and it is, at its core, anti-Blackness hysteria."

Something tells me that the organizers of this covid cautious lesbian space—who, per the article, made great efforts to maintain it as a covid cautious lesbian space—wouldn’t appreciate this difficult moment being used to trash on covid cautious queer people in general.

Listen, I just think it's weird that the same people who are saying they're worried that AI is going to wipe out humanity are also eager for military contracts that will give AI control of weapons.

"trans rights are human rights" doesn't really cut it when libs have decided that human rights arent all that important actually "trans rights or else" hits them where they actually give a shit: themselves

"Claudia" and crew her hard at work harvesting carrots in the Cuyama area. "Temperatures this day were close to 100°. It's already hard to work on our knees all day long, but when when the sun is this strong it makes a hard job even harder." #WeFeedYou

The fundraising texts you delete are working on someone. It’s infuriating and heartbreaking. An 85yo in Ohio gave more than double the value of his home. A 91yo in an Indianapolis senior facility gave 25K times. The DCCC/DSCC don’t just tolerate the spammers who exploit seniors. They take part.

Hook and Squeeze

How Democratic consultants, committees, and party leaders built a fundraising spam pipeline that funnels money from a captive pool of elderly donors into their own operations.

Imagine working in triple digit heat. That's the reality for many farm workers and why it is unbelievable that Republicans are pushing HR6213, that would actually prohibit OSHA from creating or enforcing any national heat safety regulations. Help us stop this bill! #WeFeedYou

THREAD. The New York Times just published a propaganda piece that portends dangerous trends in the coming months. Corporate media wants to help a group of sociopathic monied interests (called "moderates" here) to boost fascism by deceiving people about their true motives.

"Maria" harvest WA blueberries on a non-union farm. She works piece rate making $3/6lb bucket. We start at 5am because of the heat. In challenging conditions that piece rate is difficult to hit minimum wage. This week, temps will be as high as 105°. #WeFeedYou

Amnesty International put out a major report documenting the influence of UK based anti trans gender critical organizations and their funding. Within hours, GC groups threatened defamation lawsuits and Amnesty was forced to pull it down. Proving the point they're anti rights. Anyways, here it is.

"Adan" sent this from where they were harvesting bell peppers in Bakersfield CA. "We need to crouch or be bent over all day long. Also we must be careful as it's a fragile plant so we have to manually cut each pepper. On top of this, it is very hot outside." #WeFeedYou

they’ll never admit it but the transphobic agenda end point is murder of trans people. the transphobe wants society alienated away from us, repulsed by us, so disturbed by us that the only thing that can enter their mind is our literal eradication

This is how the strawberry fields look in Santa Maria, CA. "Erica" shares, "Seeing this gives me a combination of feelings. I'm happy there is some work. But it is difficult to harvest enough to feed your family when there is little fruit." #WeFeedYou

Discourse about finding "the Rogan of the Left" or "the liberal answer to Fox News" rarely accounts for the reality that the entire conservative media universe is the enormously unprofitable vanity project of a few rich sociopaths. It "succeeds" because they don't care how much it costs.
