I don't get to just declare myself an ally - that's something only members of the marginalized groups I support and defend can decide about me. And, if granted, that allyship can be revoked the moment I do, say, or advocate things that harm or erase them.

Anyone who didn't vote for Harris because she wasn't far enough to the left, Happy Thanksgiving, the entirety of 2025 has been on your dumb ass as much as any Republican.

Of course, with our luck, we'll elect an ex-fighter pilot as President, after which aliens will invade and he'll be forced to man his plane in combat against them.

In case people were wondering, “incel” culture very obviously stems from White Supremacy Culture.

Idk how to explain it but every time Leader Jeffries posts something specific like about the subsidies & how Republicans are failing to govern, beyond the racist morons in his replies you can also tell who is actually affected by the thing he’s talking about & who is just posturing to yell at him.

It's a clear & immediate difference you spot in this clip of who stands up for the girl & who stands around. It's always been done freely throughout history, yet always demanded & expected still.
Good on Number 24 for immediately getting into coaches face. Lucky the whole team didn’t kick his ass right then and there. www.ndtv.com/world-news/v...

Rule of Law is dead and Project 2025’s ongoing implementation overhauls government, law and policy such that it’s impossible to reestablish it. This is why so. many. of my fellow Black Americans sounded all the alarms.
But this is what White America wanted, what they chose.

Hollywood loves our trauma. Black actors are more likely to win awards when playing roles tied to slavery, servitude, or trauma.
Lupita Nyong’o opens up about what happened after her Oscar win. Hollywood kept offering her more parts as an enslaved woman, pushing the same stereotype again and again.

This is fantastic! It reminds me of my curiosities when exploring an astrobio phd.
I’ve always told folks– everything scientists can imagine possible about life out there is only because of what we know about life on Earth. AND! We don’t even know how it started here!
And I think that’s beautiful.

So happy to announce our new preprint, “A geothermal amoeba sets a new upper temperature limit for eukaryotes.” We cultured a novel amoeba from Lassen Volcanic NP (CA, USA) that divides at 63°C (145°F) 🔥 - a new record for euk growth!

God it's so cool that so much of British and European nationalist politics has broadly been shaped by warehouse clickfarms rented by guys in South Asia running "how to make money from racist old people" workshops, and that this has had more influence on media and politics than any grassroots group
