PLEASE SPREAD THE WORD!!

The University of Texas-Austin is beginning a process to eliminate the Black Studies, Latino Studies, and Gender Studies departments in the College of Liberal Arts. This is a grave threat to the educational liberty of students, faculty, staff, and the people of Texas. 1/

here's the video embed.

I've been anxious about racial solidarity in an environment where republicans are eager to divide & conquer minority communities through antagonism on labor, crime, immigration, housing etc and it gives me a lot of hope to see guys out there unafraid to do/say what is right.

Thanks, email marketers. As if I didn't have enough anxiety right now. 😉

I know it’s the most obvious thing in the world but it’s really sad that so many people have absolutely no desires or dreams in life except to accumulate money and our entire world is becoming a fucking pit because of it

I love your vision. That is a film I would watch! He has a certain Krusty the Clown self-loathing rat bastard vibe going on, to be sure.

I think that's against the laws of physics. Like, when he uses the men's room at Buc-ee's, he plays that song. It's his ringtone and his doorbell and the name of his grandchild.

Living a moral life in an age of bullies requires collective action; it cannot be done alone. Each of us must organize and participate in a vast network of moral resistance. From this solidarity we will grow stronger. This is what our current moment requires.

a fake quote being attributed to zohran mamdani is igniting the pro-palestine left.

he never said arresting netanyahu would make him a trumpian fascist. that phrase was posted by an account known for using extreme rhetoric to accuse mamdani of effectively saying that as a result of him softening.

image circulating claiming to attribute a fake quote to mamdani. text reads:
dec. 2024: “as mayor of nyc i would arrest benjamin netanyahu”
sept. 2025: “arresting netanyahu would make me a trumpian fascist.” - this second quote has in big letters over it the words “fake quote.”

post from the originator of the phrase. text reads:

@zei squirrel
here you have it side by side. Zohran in December 2024, when he was running in the primary, pledging that he will definitely arrest Netanyahu. Then fast forward to Zohran in September 2025, after he won the primary, and suddenly arresting Netanyahu makes you a Trumpian fascist:

White people who have spent decades thinking “Born in the USA” is patriotic and “Every Breath You Take” is a great wedding song are suddenly very concerned about not being able to understand lyrics to some songs at the Super Bowl halftime show.

In Chicago, four vehicles descended and eight ICE agents moved in to kidnap a child.

She screams, “I’m 15,” as ICE yanks her from the car and kneels on her neck.

This is not about immigration enforcement.

It's about terrorizing Americans.
