The government *still* isn’t tracking how often immigration agents detain U.S. citizens. We are. 500+ Americans have been handcuffed, held at gunpoint or held against their will in Trump’s second term. Our tally is almost certainly an undercount. THREAD (content warning: violence) ⬇️

Have you noticed, lately, or noticed people around you commenting, that there just seems to be no money anymore. There's no money for companies to make the tv shows you like, the video games you like, the local diner you like shut down, no one you know can find a job. Think about that in context of

Whole thread is great but especially this (and the 3-book Venn diagram). Now more than ever, (white cis class-privileged) men are citizens and the rest of us are collateral damage at best.

According to the most rigorous studies, 10.8% of college men perpetrate at least one rape before graduation. This statistic always comes to mind when I see men in power reacting with disgust to the idea that one of their peers could face even a shred of accountability.

Something I learned just this week: "only 4% of the world’s women and girls live in the U.S., but the U.S. confines ONE-QUARTER of the world’s incarcerated women and girls." www.prisonpolicy.org/global/women...

a chart from Prison Policy comparing states' incarceration rates of women to the other countries' rates.
it shows about 20 states who incarcerate women at a higher rate than even the most incarceration-friendly countries (el salvador, dem. rep. of congo, thailand). three states - south dakota, montana and idaho - incarcerate women at a higher rate than the country of El Salvador.

Accountability: a thread. (& also we should discuss this OUTSIDE of a family model too because ideally we would live in a society and not a hellscape where women* and mothers* are our only safety net. & thank you @nbedera.bsky.social because social failure is not your fault! We ♥️ your wise counsel.)

A certain elite SLAC made the poor choice to send an email today about the new community art project in honor* of 50 years of coeducation: they send you a cloth square to embellish a concept that starts with CO; you return it; they make a quilt. Sweet, right? [1/2]

I wrote about something that was making me feel nuts: After weeks of discourse around hypothetical existential threats from AI triggered global calls for government intervention, we learned a faulty AI system almost triggered a US-China war. And no one really cared. theintercept.com/2026/09/28/a...

AI Almost Started a U.S.–China War — and No One Seems to Care

The tech world is too busy dreaming up imaginary doomsday scenarios to focus on a very real one that flared up between nuclear powers.

I remember a really frustrating conversation with a generally decent cishet white guy about a news story where a woman was roofied. he went off about wishing he could beat that guy up to avenge her, and I was like "how about start with calling out your friends' sexist tweets?" and he was like 😳

Important slides from Philly’s @asianfoodco.bsky.social Asian Food Collective on upcoming changes to SNAP. Support your local/hyperlocal mutual aid and food resources if at all possible? Because these ghouls want to starve us all.

What is the SNAP Cost Shift?

Prior to HR-1, or the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" (OBBA), last year, the federal government covered 100% of SNAP benefits will SNAP administrative costs were split 50-50 between the federal and state government.

HR-1 shifted this to states taking on 15% of SNAP benefits and 75% of administrative costs.

$Background image: hot meals portioned into multiple to-go boxes Text: This would harm millions of people who use SNAP... Many states are not prepared to take on these new costs and food banks will struggle to help fill the gap left by any reductions to SNAP. According to Philabundance, 1 meal from their food bank equals 9 meals covered by SNAP. Learn more about the effects of HR-1 at frac.org/hr-1$ Background image: fresh salad greens, veggies, and white protein in individual containers

Text:

What can we do?
• Contact Congress to delay the SNAP cost shift using the Feeding America portal.
• Get involved with your local mutual-aid group because we keep each other safe (and fed).
• Donate money to a food bank - many supply food for mutual-aid groups to cook or distribute!

SNAP cuts kill. Feed the kids! Feed the people! How hard is that? $42K is threshold of poverty line (for family of 4), BTW; unrelated, I see jobs that pay about that much that want a master’s degree and years of experience. Anyhow: feed people. Full stop. School breakfast and lunch should be free.

npr.org

As millions of kids lose SNAP food benefits, free school meals are also at risk

Food stamps have a direct link to other critical resources, such as free breakfast and lunch at school. Now, experts say they're starting to see that link break.
