Today, we remember Alexandros and honor the courage of those who stood up to the police who murdered him.

Police will go on killing as long as capitalism exists. But together, we can show that this is a senseless tragedy and make it possible to imagine the end of a social order based on domination.

Stop hurting trans people. You cannot speculate on what should happen to you if you do. Being killed would be far too affectionate.

Don't do wrong and bad things.

The erasure of transgender people continues. Appalling.

The wording of the story seems deceptive. Plainly speaking, they deadnamed her on her publicly displayed portrait.

ICE’s operation against Minnesota’s Somali community is seen not as an immigration raid but as a racist intimidation campaign.

They can throw GOP chains on us, hang us by them and cackle.

But when we effectively step-up, asserting ourselves as the bosses of every single fucker in every fucking office - they weep and shit over "t-rrorism"

Something's gonna give.

Public service ain't made to make you rich. Face reality.
The Supreme Court has voted to allow Texas to use a congressional map favorable to Republicans in 2026.

As Justice Kagan wrote, this map "ensures that many Texas citizens, for no good reason, will be placed in electoral districts because of their race."

Our democracy is faltering.

Btw RFK Jr. lied under oath when he said we would not tamper with vaccine scheduling.

So we're going to nullify all his wrong and destructive decisions and oust him immediately, right? So we're going to hold this freak to account and work to reverse the damage, right?

Right?
RFK Jr. wants to force births just so infants get perfectly preventable Hepatitis and die.

What the literal fuck is anyone fucking doing anymore?

I thought the high mark of COVID was the death of the nerve of the human spirit

but then I saw 2025 and found deeper bottoms to surpass.

Why are we living if we only cope, day in - day out, with the healthy functions of life as we've known it being destroyed?

Why is this tolerated? Why does NOBODY see that having children in the midst of this collapse is C R U E L T Y ? ! ? !

An American journalist helped facilitate RFK Jr's ingratiation into Trump's world and kept secret disqualifying information on him that could have kept him out of major policy, which impacts millions of people.

The only legal scholars I want to hear from in the years to come are the ones seriously thinking about how to fully disempower the Supreme Court. What would that take? THINK OUTSIDE OF THE BOX. Offer practical suggestions that could become political campaigns led by the public.

In honor of the unjustly banned Link, I invite folks to post their mutual aid below this thread. I will repost need as long as I am able.

As the holiday season approaches, and temperatures drop, mutual aid is going to become more important.

Consider giving what you can. If you can't, repost.
