You too can move on from electoral politics. Release the farce and play acting. Put your energies into helping each other and building new systems of care. I believe in the people, not politicians.

Mnëuzavarn - Living Portals
2022

I'm happy that Mamdani won. But I won't let that get in the way of my celebrating Cuomo losing.

Reading this grim but important book. Israel’s brutal oppression of the Palestinians can’t be fully grasped without knowing about the Nakba, the ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian people foundational to establishing the Israeli state, and a context shockingly absent from a lot of media discussion.

it's wild how many cool things i know about this...the amount of impulse control it's taking not to share them...

sorry to brianna wu post but reading this might be the hardest i’ve laughed in a few days

"It feels like Democrats are chasing some kind of imaginary half-Republican voter that doesn't actually exist"

Chuck Schumer: My imaginary white friends are real and guide all my decisions. I renamed them to Bailey because O'Reilly is too ethnic for my brain. They have sex with Rudy Giuliani

Strong statement from ACLU on the detention of Mahmoud Khalil:

"The federal government is claiming the authority to deport people with deep ties to the US and revoke their green cards for advocating positions that the government opposes."

This is a party that has total contempt for its base. Posting your disapproval online will never make it change, only threatening its hold on power will. How frustrated will the base have to get before it starts funding some aggressive primary campaigns against caucus leaders?

And there it is. Same holds for activists, writers, "free speech" orgs, arts institutions and everyone else who has been silent for 15 months.

Biden continued to repeat disproven lies as fact for months. He not only enabled but was an active, enthusiastic participant in Israel’s genocidal efforts. He was a weak-willed, cruel monster and will be remembered as such by the people he happily allowed to be victimized.

And yet for 16 months people have been in my comments with "free the hostages." It was never about the hostages. It was only ever about the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians from their land, as it has been since 1948.

I think about the narrow vision that liberals have of power a lot, often from a place of sympathy.

It sucks that they can't imagine how amazing it feels to physically remove a fascist from a podium, break through a police line, or build power in your neighborhood.

Alonth Szigodrin - “The Interchangeable Labyrinth of Circelander”
2020

she ran her whole campaign on the platform of "donald trump is a fascist who will destroy democracy" and then when he won she got up in front of god and everybody and said "here is your country sir! yay democracy :)"

a lot of “resist” posters on here discarded basic human empathy for “leopardsatemyface” schaudenfraude solely because the engagement is better

I genuinely do not know how you cure people of that diseased thinking

So the City of Miami was under a federal consent decree for 20 years that forbade them from criminalizing homelessness

guess what happened during that time

We expected to have to dedicate considerable resources to identifying the Israeli soldiers in photos and videos featured in our investigation into war crimes in Gaza.

Instead we found soldiers often posted material in their own names on publicly accessible platforms.
