Sharing this again because I'm seeing a LOT of people trying to justify or excuse having a Totenkopf tattoo by engaging in whataboutism and suggesting that we need to "lower our standards to win" and that says more about you than it does anything else.

Mainly that minorities aren't safe around you.

Putting a Democrat with a Nazi tattoo in the Senate normalizes Naziism in our federal politics for a long ass time.

All these recent stories about secret Nazi group chats? Anytime that happens going forward will be met with "But Platner."

It's not a purity test. Think through the consequences.

A significant amount of propaganda goes into depicting gentry fascists as the norm, when in fact they're badly outnumbered.

This averages out at a violation roughly every four hours, around the clock, continuously since 10 October. At what point do we stop calling it a ceasefire when Israel has just literally not ceased firing

The left: always correct—uncomfortably early for everyone else

Everyone else: “now that we agree with the left, the left needs to compromise to accommodate us”

It seems the war has returned the shelling hasn’t stopped for two hours.
The war is back
Plz quote my post

Something maybe worth noting is that all the frog costumes and signs and good-natured memeing came about because a wide spectrum of Americans saw someone in direct, brave confrontation with ICE—getting pepperballed and standing their ground—and thought “that’s awesome. That person is a hero”

Can we get more eyes on Juno's post?

The war ended, and our dreams and ambitions were shattered. Our home was destroyed. We are now homeless. We live in a small tent that does not protect us from the cold and rain.💔

My family and I need your help to raise $600 to cover the cost of renting a house.🥹🙏

I'd like to thank @badambulist.bsky.social, @callistokhan.bsky.social, @mzakharuk.bsky.social for speaking to me about their work and their experiences with both traditional and online publishing! And a special thanks to @michaelann.bsky.social for discussing how social media platforms treat us.

Today for @theverge.com, I talk about transfem narratives: the epistemic lockout from mainstream publishing, the advantages and pitfalls of the self-pub model, and what a global transmisogynistic panic implies for our ability to make our voices heard and represent our own lives and worlds.

If anyone's wondering how this is possible, the answer is these strike teams are moving terrifyingly fast. Grab first, ask questions later. We were about 8-15 minutes behind them today for several hours. They're jumping out of vans, chasing people across lawns, taking them from bus stops, etc

Check out this historical comparison:

The U.S. military carried out a new strike on Thursday against a suspected drug vessel in the Caribbean, and in what is believed to be the first such case, there were survivors among the crew, a U.S. official told Reuters.

CA governor Gavin Newsom vetoed both of the major AI bills on his desk that Silicon Valley meaningfully opposed—one making it illegal for bosses to use AI to fire workers with no oversight, one requiring chatbot sellers to ensure their products do not harm children before marketing to them.

Robby did a day of activism in PDX, detained for an hour, claims trespass charge, is already back on a plane & has raised $75k of an absurd $110k ask.

Stop donating. This dude better be handing over a sizeable chunk of this to people who need it, like our local legal defense fund. Or its a grift.

A main organizer of VC Defensa in Ventura County was rammed in his vehicle by federal agents and taken into custody this morning. This video is from VC Defensa IG and shows the ramming. Organizers are thinking he’ll be taken to LA MDC—headed there now

spotify pays millions to transphobic anti-vaxxer Joe Rogan and so my production company pulled all our podcasts off the service years ago and never looked back

they “pay” fractions of pennies to every musician there too

consider finding a better service

shouldn’t be hard when the bar’s this low!

Vic Mensa, an American rapper born and raised in Chicago, breaks down ICE raids and the politics of division.

The true rebellious spirit of the counterculture: demanding everyone sit together in an office

@nicolefoy.bsky.social did the lord's work on this one.

DHS publishes detailed stats on officer interactions. But they conveniently omit all the citizen arrests.

Thanks to ProPublica, we now know Leo and George's stories are representative of at least 170 citizens already arrested by this admin.

i'm not even being remotely hyperbolic. cancer does not give one single fuck about the political claims of the gender critical set about our bodies. it is a biological fact that trans women on HRT have breast tissue and are at risk for breast cancer.

but if they shoot missiles at the large uninhabited island, they don't get to terrify cities full of their enemies with the open threat of "we could aim these AT you, instead of NEAR you, next time"

The case is submitted.

My prediction is that Section 2 is overturned, 6-3 Kav majority, saying that the Section 2 still *exists* but isn't allowed to do anything.
