revolutionary optimism will keep me going these next 4 years. it can keep you going too. fascism depends on a lie that it is inevitable & cannot be stopped. in reality it is weak, unstable, & paranoid. it eats itself. find solidarity & trans joy even in times of despair.

Yesterday I used this "AI -Free Statement" in a conference talk for the first time. Still trying to figure out the exact language. Feel free to borrow, modify, etc.

At no point in this study did I use AI. This includes the literature review, logical organization, writing, analysis, and proofreading. I do not cite any studies that use AI, to the extent that it is possible to know.

IDF soldiers have now themselves admitted they have been ordered to murder aid-seekers in Gaza. Truly an atrocity built on atrocity. www.haaretz.com/israel-news/...

'It's a Killing Field': IDF Soldiers Ordered to Shoot Deliberately at Unarmed Gazans Waiting for Humanitarian Aid
IDF officers and soldiers told Haaretz they were ordered to fire at unarmed crowds near food distribution sites in Gaza, even when no threat was present. Hundreds of Palestinians have been killed, prompting the military prosecution to call for a review into possible war crimes

I agree with those who say that by attacking sanctuary cities, the administration was trying to provoke a response they could exploit. But here's the thing: there is no perfect move for a community under siege. Cooperation and the passive absorption of violence are also highly exploitable moves.

Really remarkable how Wall Street keeps defaulting back to 'he can't really be serious, it can't just be Tariff Man Wants Tariffs' -- www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...

Excerpt of WaPo story: "But some analysts have said the market would have fallen even more if not for the broad expectation that Trump will eventually soften the so-called reciprocal tariffs.

“I hope these reciprocal tariffs get negotiated down and don’t trigger a 1930s style tit-for-tat trade war. We’re hoping the art of the deal is still what motivates the president,” said Ed Yardeni, president of Yardeni Research, which provides market analysis."

One of the things that is totally lost on Carville is that conservatives will never believe that you aren’t secretly connected with <insert marginalized group>. It’s just that when you trash them, you send the message that you won’t fight for what you believe in and you’re a fake piece of shit.

Defend the liberty of a stranger as you would defend your own, or that of a loved one, because that is what's actually on the table—whether we are a society that will sit still as our neighbors are snatched in the night, and disappeared into darkness, or a society that will fight for each other.

I’ve been saying it since the election: California won’t be a safe place. Newsom was always going to roll over. He’s not a guy who is in it for any personal values he has about community. Maybe he was at some point but not anymore.

At max, you can expect to infect 5-7 people with COVID. That’s considered pretty transmissible, which is why we (tried to) lock down about it. An infected person will give measles to 16-18 other people. It’s extremely virulent It’s long past time for you to wear a mask again.

18-year-old Jude on laws banning gender-affirming care: "On the more extreme end, for a lot of kids it's the possibility of severe mental-health struggles and suicidal ideation - but I also think on a smaller scale, kids, because they cannot be themselves, would rather choose to not be anyone."

I think a lot of people don't quite
understand the impact of these bills on
queer kids. On the more extreme end,
for a lot of kids it's the possibility of
severe mental-health struggles and
suicidal ideation - but I also think
something could happen on a smaller
scale where kids, because they cannot be
themselves, would rather choose to not
be anyone. If I hadn`t been able to
change my name, I don't know ifI
would choose to go onstage for the
school play, if I would choose to be in my
poetry club. There's a whole bunch of
kids who don't get to thrive because
they're stuck in this place where they're
suffering and there's not really a way out
of that" -Jude, 18, he/they, Louisiana

‘Free Luigi’ billboard has gone up in lower Manhattan the evening before his next court appearance. Sent in anon.

photo of a wintry street, cars and people and snow flurries zooming past. on a building down the block, a massive advertisement hangs overlooking the traffic. it is luigi mangione, edited into the image of a saint. the text ‘free luigi’ is featured prominently in yellow, front and center.
