Just learned that Category Is Books, a lovely queer bookshop in Glasgow, has been targeted by transphobic violence, & is fundraising to cover the costs of a smashed window & roller shutters. I hate that they have to do this & would love to see them meet their goal.

it always annoys me when marxists who have otherwise respectable opinions continue to treat transgender issues as frivolous, like we are sort of locked in a life and death struggle with the state if you havent noticed

Funny, because he buys independent bookstores and keeps the names & branding to masquerade as though they’re still independent bookstores.

I don’t care how correct someone is on Israel. If they support the ballooning concentration camp network right here in the US- the one routinely murdering immigrants - they’re not an ally

my book of short stories ‘again, harder’ is finally out. you can buy it in bookstores. it retails around $17.95. and if you read it in public, people will think you‘re a cool pervert.

Tone was one of those things I'd point to when I'd talk about Madison and say "it's a city that punches way above its weight class" a real Lion of a publication that made me proud to live there. Scott created a small miracle that defined the kind of character Madison has at its best.

I came to Minneapolis to report on what's going on, and one of the main questions I showed up with is "just what is the scale of the resistance?" After all, we're all used to the news calling Portland a "war zone" or whatever when it's just some protests in one part of town.

Short thread 🧵 1/ In Florida (and nationwide) under Trump's 2nd admin, ICE has expanded its use of "detainers," the controversial and longstanding practice of holding people in jail -- many on minor charges -- past their release date to turn them over to ICE custody for possible deportation.

The thing about abolition is that it is a politics of hope — and even if sometimes it’s goals seem nearly impossible, that hope is a bulwark against the embittering of your heart and mind.

A Harvard study of IDF data finds that there are 377,000 people unaccounted for in Gaza. That estimate is six times the number of people normally cited as killed. Genocide. medium.com/@m4xim1l1an/...

Gaza Strip was approximately 2.227 million. The Garb report includes maps displaying IDF estimates for the populations remaining in what are considered the three primary enclaves.
The numbers are as follows:
Gaza City: 1 million
Mawasi: 0.5 million
Central: 0.35 million
The total of these official estimates is 1.85 million people.
Simple arithmetic reveals a horrifying gap: 2.227 million minus 1.85 million leaves 377,000 people unaccounted for.
