Image shows a side by side of Louisiana State Univeristy’s football flag with the Tigers logo on a helmet, next to an image of student and survivor Kendall Francis.

LSU student Kendall Francis is speaking out.

The university's own Title IX office ruled that a football player had r*ped her.

He appealed. LSU reduced his suspension to probation, saying he just made "an error in judgment." He's free to return to campus, class and his team.

Kendall has to take her classes online now.

No criminal charges have been filed.

From Cornell to LSU, shielding r*pists is an institutional epidemic.

And every time a Christian nationalist says to repeal the 19th, every time a co-ed is raped and she has to sue to have her voice heard, every Uber assault, every family annihilation, every time an incel whines he doesn’t have a government-mandated girlfriend, it. Will. Drop. Further.

Earth’s organisms will not reproduce if the environment is not conducive. All of our physical, emotional, mental, and social environments are polluted. What is it conservatives like to say before telling people to have more babies than they can afford? Oh yeah, “Don’t breed em if you can’t feed em.”

Wilber Garces Perez, the Venezuelan man and Door Dash delivery driver shot in the back by ICE in Austin, TX, still has the bullet in his back while he is detained. And a judge has stated his deportation until he can get a court hearing. Looks like it’s slated for 9/30.

Texas doctors have already been sanctioned for “substandard care” due to fears of retribution and jail time because of these laws. Texas will keep deflecting, doctors will still be stuck between a rock and a hard place, women will keep dying, and the birth rate will continue to plummet.

Texas administration and legislature is panicking. They know their policies are dangerous, and they’re trying to deflect. All the support and listening won’t do a damned thing if you need an abortion to live in a state whose doctors are afraid of going to jail for saving their patients.

I don’t have sympathy for people who are willfully ignorant enough to continuously align and vote against their own self-interest. But I hope this is eye-opening for those who’ve been questioning that alignment. If nothing else, my wish is at least some of these cultists will wake the fuck up.

In France it’s blasphemous. In the US, it’s just Tuesday. I’m reminded of Bill Hicks. “Jesus is back! … AND HE’S PISSED OFF!!”
Image shows a statue of Jesus in the crucifixion pose without the cross, holding two Uzi submachine guns, painted completely red. The statue appears to be hung up in front of a window with a grated cover.

I was 12 on 9/11. It was one of the most memorable and shaping events that I’ve witnessed in my life. It was my generation’s Pearl Harbor. The two and half decades that followed showed how the rubble of this attack became the foundation of lies to continue attacking the Middle East. Never forget.

i honestly think the most colonised sentence in political language is "nothing can be done." because something is already being done every single day to reproduce the world you're being told cannot be changed.

Robobobatron 
@robobobatron 

im not sure its "colonised" because what you are describing is empire and its maintenance. i think its useful to understand that where you stand might already be empire.

Amina 

a colonised mind is one that has learned to experience empire's reality as reality tout court, rather than something historically constructed, violently maintained, and therefore capable of being unmade. the material reproduction of empire requires ideological reproduction, too.

Image shows a headline from the Washington Post at the top that long-time, right-wing provocateur, and gay British citizen, Milo Yiannopoulos is being deported by ICE. was arrested at the New Orleans International Airport and is currently being held in a Louisiana facility awaiting deportation. DHS responded that Yiannopoulos had entered the US legally in 2019 and overstayed his visa as well as missed his immigration hearings.

A grainy image of Yiannopoulos’ mugshot is below the headline, and a tweet from the previous summer is pasted on his forehead:

“MILO @Nero • 08 Jun 25

California needs ICE checkpoints at supermarket entrances, gas stations, strip malls, intersections and government buildings, with on the spot deportation for anyone who can't prove they are in the US legally.”

At the bottom of the image reads the text:
