I can’t help but reflect on the moment 4 years ago when Ma Mya Thwet Thwet Khine was killed by police in Myanmar and the pivotal moment it represented. www.irrawaddy.com/specials/on-...

Everything happening now has a precedent. This is not new. Please understand that everything happening now is very American. The only change is that it is happening on camera to middle income white people. Ask BIPOC and low income white people about abuses by the state.

Fuck STRANGER THINGS (on Netflix)

Noah Schnapp (plays Will Beyers) is a Zionist, racist, and genocide supporter.

He’s made horrible comments and been allowed to keep his job whilst they fired Susan Surandon and Melissa Berrara for speaking up for Palestine.

ending the TPS for Myanmar is an unmitigated humanitarian disaster which will end up sending people to torture and probable death.
This is really concerning. The Junta in Myanmar will arrest, conscript or kill many of those the US may return.
We honestly cannot understand how the US admin can say the situation in Myanmar is improving when ALL EVIDENCE IS TO THE CONTRARY.
🚨"The Trump administration announced it will cancel temporary asylum for around 10,000 #Myanmar nationals living in the US, despite the country being ruled by a military dictatorship that has a record of executing dissidents."

People with disabilities in #Myanmar face torture, killing, violence, exclusion & systemic barriers after the junta's illegal coup attempt.

✊ To protect disability rights, the world must act now to end the junta’s terror campaign & support an inclusive federal democracy.

We’re in a moment now where it would be worth people taking three hours to watch Gandhi, particularly the scene of the salt march. There is value to making the brutality of your opponent so plain as day that no one can argue with it. The clarity of that brought down an empire

If the civil war, jim crow, red lining, school segregation, white flight, and the anti-CRT backlash has shown us something, it's this: we're either going to live in a multi-racial democracy or we're not. The middle ground the centrists keep proposing we build our house on is nothing but quicksand.

Sorry I was late to your wedding, my flight was canceled because my pilot posted a Charlie Kirk quote verbatim in the comments of an Instagram Reel.
Hard to think of a more on-the-nose encapsulation of how far the online speech wars have swung in the year of our lord 2025 than major U.S. corporations racing to fire people whose tweets offended Milo Yiannopoulos

all of this makes total sense when you recognize that “freedom” here means the freedom to dominate those you view as your subordinates and “tyranny” is when someone threatens that “freedom” or worse, when those subordinates try to claim power as political equals
IMO many Americans don't even buy guns for personal protection or to defend themselves against a tyrannical government. They simply have a shopping addiction

It is absolutely ridiculous that Adrienne Villa's death has basically gone unreported in local & national media

An anti-ICE protester being held on $1.3 million bail found dead in a courtroom jail cell & crickets from media. Should make you question why they want this kept quiet!
