Some real tough love for ya'll coming from a Native person: he is making America 'great' again. This is what *made America great*. The misinformation. The terror. The breaking of laws. The cruelty. The genocide. The slavery.

What we - need - to do is make "America" Turtle Island again.

When I was a kid, I wanted to be a “miniaturist” when I grew up. I thought it was a job. My mother told me that it wasn’t, that it was more of a hobby.

BUT LO AND BEHOLD

Definitely just the judge and not the hundreds of students and faculty threatening to strike or walk out... We won this round but the fight isnt over yet.

Just a little reminder that the Association of German National Jews and The German Vanguard: German Jewish Followers supported Hitler and the Nazis . . .

until those organisations were outlawed in 1935 and the leaders of those groups were arrested or forced into exile.

Neville Pinto is a coward and and would rather raise his own paycheck than use that crack UC legal team to delay enforcement. Absolutely malicious attempt at making sure "Next Dies Here"

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.”

A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

Just a small reminder that Teddy Roosevelt creating the Federal National Parks was one of the biggest illegal land grabs in history from Natives. Y’all were never supposed to be the ones overseeing them. They were our homes, our food, our life.

Dear Leftists (socialists and communists),

With Amazon removing downloads to books soon, it is important to remember to practice good archiving habits, making sure that information is secure in of itself, and having the means to disseminate that information effectively and securely.

Currently re-reading the original 2010 S Ahmed "Feminist Killjoy" essay, and:

1) such important insights about navigating the alienation that comes with naming a problem

2) oh god, I can see how this is CATNIP for folks who don't want to be accountable for the conflict they generate around them.

House, disco, and dance are the songs of revolution
reminding ya'll we need to make resistance FUN. play bops. line dance. bring the drag, the parties, and the bbq. make it an EVENT. show your JOY and have a blast while doing it.

being on the writer's strike line in 2023, this was our saving grace. keeping your spirits up is more than half the game.

democrats and republicans don't have to matter anymore if we don't let them.

if they're unweaving what it is, it's our duty to weave another future. those in power do not see a true way forward. it is our duty. all we need is each other. they need us. not the other way around.

do not fear.

Not saying this out of anger, but as a fact: when high-profile actors like John Lithgow take roles in the Harry Potter series, they’re saying their fame matters more to them than trans people—right at the moment when we need real allies willing to risk themselves alongside us more then ever.
