More devastating with each listen.
The detail is this song is astounding both emotionally and as craft. Hard to think of a protest song as vivid. Definitely Strange Fruit. Maybe Ohio?

9 months ago today I bombed that kids hospital. You have imposed no meaningful consequences & Trump said "it's what anyone would do".
To us in Kremlin, this means it is permitted. That's why we bombed the Palm Sunday service with cluster munitions.

If your liberal world order cannot stop genocide, then what good is it?
Liberalism created the world order we have today. Under liberalism, a white settler colonial ethno state is genociding and ethnically cleansing Palestinians, and getting "ironclad" backing from western liberal democracies.

It's a high bar, but this from @radleybalko.bsky.social might be one of the most fucked up things I've read in the new Trump era. For context, this TX lawyer had just had an informal conversation with a family caught up in ICE raids.

This feels like one of those moments when instead of being angry at trans folk she could have had a personal realization about the unfair distribution of labour she does in her relationship, but no, easier to be angry outwards than inwards

I’ll add—I’ll never let my distrust of politicians keep me from voting. Our electoral system isn’t perfect, but at least we have one. And some politicians are less trustworthy than others, so voting does make a difference, even if it’s just to keep out the worst options.

When in @greenparty.org.uk we talk about Gaza or taxing the super rich, there's often one person who asks "why is this a Green issue?"
The same forces who are protecting wealth and power (& the military complex) are the same people that are destroying our climate & nature.

Poilievre: “We won’t reopen the abortion debate!”
Also Poilievre’s party: Introduces anti-abortion bill every time there’s a full moon.
At this point, their private member’s bills have a punch card—next one’s free!

Just a reminder how classic what we're seeing is:
1. redefine a group as a threat to civilization
2. reduce legal protections that they enjoy
3. abuse, threaten, harm, and/or relocate them
4. dismiss/ignore concerns about abuses and harms from the process
5. repeat steps 2-4, escalating each time

I think it’s fine to bully people for reading Harry Potter in 2025 actually
If you want to read your old Harry Potter books, you should do it in secret and shamefully - you know, in the way that J.K. Rowling wants to force trans people to live.

Once it becomes clear that someone is using immense wealth to bend the world to their personal worldview, it’s time to stop giving them your money.

I know you aren't going to want to hear this but the reason the system can deport Mahmoud Khalil and send Kilmar Abrego Garcia to El Salvador is that for years we've been executing factually innocent people like Marcellus Williams and sending legally innocent people to places like Riker's Island.
