If you see this, don't participate. It's a rigged study by Lisa Littman and unethical researcher J. Michael Bailey meant to undermine access to care. Spread the word.

“The truth is that a tattoo identifying Tren de Aragua does not exist,” she told me. “Tren de Aragua does not use any tattoos as a form of gang identification; no Venezuelan gang does.”

This guy is in one of the worst prisons in the world with no way out and may spend the rest of his life there because, it appears, he has an autism awareness tattoo in honor of his little brother. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Yes, that's part of why. But saying it's the "entire point" is one more example of media folks forgetting that facists genuinely want to hurt people and impose iron will. It is performative *and* genuine. Saying it's only to make content downplays the hate & *actual* fascism.

Hostile states did the same thing with abortion bans. They'd introduce something absurd—like a 30 day abortion ban (which is literally something oklahoma proposed in 2022)—to pass something that is also absurd but maybe not AS absurd. We have to fight them on every front.

Isn't it interesting how desperate Republican lawmakers are to create justifications to examine the genitals of children? How hard the right wing works to create cover and legal permission for them to get to be alone in a room with naked kids? Why do you think that is, exactly?

Can't tell you how weird and fucked up this press conference was. It was basically an ad for Tesla interspersed with the implication that protesting the company is illegal.

When @prisonculture.bsky.social pointed out the need to have some alternatives on hand for when you're telling Tesla owners to sell their swasticars, this is another good option! Think we're gonna see some more movement on this front - Detroit looooves a good lease takeover promotion!

It's cute and fun when senators act like Social Security is only for retired people, like it's a future speculative thing for people with 401ks to worry about, and not something about 15M disabled people & our families, mostly living below the poverty line, rely on in the current present moment

these are the names of young Black men who were "found dead" after the Ferguson uprising following the murder of Michael Brown in 2014. Edward Crawford Jr. is in the famous image below. his death was ruled a suicide. our gov't is not new to silencing activists. the least we can do is remember them.

photo of a young Black man in a US flag shirt throwing a can of tear gas that is burning and sprouting gas in his hand. he has stated in interviews he was throwing it not at the police but away from children who were in the vicinity.

MIWRC works in family stability, in helping victims of trafficking or domestic violence, they are a housing resource and they support traditional birthing practices, they take a culturally centered approach to substance use disorders, and recently they opened as a warming space. Please help them.

They have nothing. Nothing. They kidnapped a legal resident, shipped him across the country, denied access to his attorney, and are now trying to deport him. And their only justification for it is either protected speech or vague descriptions of alleged crimes committed by other people.

This is the medicaid cuts vote. I see people on the TL openly wondering if this vote will result in their death. They didn't seem to be joking. Note, this isn't the final vote. There'll be at least one more House floor vote and then the Senate gets a crack. But this tells us how Rs *intend* to vote

one thing this demonstrates is the extent to which racial, gender, and sexual discrimination has been an important cause and substance of worker organizing, rather than (as is too often claimed) some kind of HR-driven distraction

They justified this Tennessee drag ban using a legal designation: "harmful to minors" They justified book ban / library purges with "harmful to minors" Now they're using "harmful to minors" to push age-verification bills to censor the internet. Understand the connection. Fight them all.

Ursula le Guin, on the accusation that fantasy is an escape from reality

[“Fantasy is escapist, and that is its glory. If a soldier is imprisoned by the enemy, don’t we consider it his duty to escape? The moneylenders, the know-nothings, the authoritarians have us all in prison; if we value the freedom of the mind and soul, if we’re partisans of liberty, then it’s our plain duty to escape, and to take as many people with us as we can.”]

The thing about fascism is that a significant chunk of people who obey in advance do so not out of fear, but eagerness: they perceive in the fascist regime their chance to settle cultural scores, regardless of costs

External threats aren't behind the white revanchism on display in media companies. They're doing this because they felt pushed into "diversity hiring" by the 2020 uprising and the "changing cultural moment" gives them the excuse to roll back the clock. They're doing this because *they* want to
