Hey all. I’m going to start boosting some Palestinian fundraisers. Please donate/share as you can. First up is Mohammed Al-Masri (@Its_Moh9). He’s nearly a third of the way to his goal for his family. Let’s see if we can get him there. https://t.co/TYrqysVnqb

Okay so our plagiarism machines can permanently access humanity’s knowledge but every site that tries to make that knowledge accessible to individual humans gets criminally prosecuted and dismantled.
jaw dropped at the sight of this picture in the excellent WaPo Anthropic story from the other day: " ... a book warehouse that was alleged to play a role in Anthropic’s Project Panama, its project to scan, digitize and destroy millions of books"

Pay attention folks. This is all happening under the radar. All of these new mega detention camps being built around our country are being paid for by taxpayer dollars, and will be nothing more than the concentration camps built in Germany. 😡 READ: https://t.co/1O2i3NFcbg

Power is relative. The "powerful elite" can be members of your local church. Boosters & coaches for your local team. Frat houses. If we listened to girls long ago instead of men & how they choose to frame sexual abuse as individualized, anomalies, we wouldn't keep being shocked.

You cant convince me that the very real reality of violent patriarchy is a "distraction". We need to fight back

Reminder that Haiti isn’t safe because Haiti is a nation born from a slave rebellion in the 18th century & the white ruling class has never been willing to allow the existence of any free Black republic
350,000 people with nowhere to go will be rendered undocumented on Tuesday. Not because Haiti is safe, no, of course not. Because Secretary Noem and President Trump don’t think they should be here legally. What the hell are we doing? Is this who we are?

Gonna use this as an excuse to ask for any other tips for staying healthy while traveling, as I’ve done my best to avoid it. I’ve got high quality masks (Is it ok to fall asleep with one on?) and Profi nasal spray. I’m up to date on boosters. Anything else I can realistically do?
Stay well on your way and pack the essentials to protect your health! ✈️🧳 Stay protected by: - Staying up to date on vaccines - Wearing a mask in crowded indoor spaces - Staying home if you are sick 📲 Learn more: https://t.co/UqPYkNWTXM

Five days after this, Hennepin Co. Medical Center employees began stating that ICE agents in the hospital were deterring patients from receiving care safely. Three days later, DHS started “auditing” the hospital’s employee records.
ICE agents initially claimed Mondragón had tried to flee while handcuffed and “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.” But staff members at Hennepin County Medical Center determined that could not possibly account for the fractures and bleeding throughout the man’s

the thing that most people fundamentally do not understand about environmental issues is that literally everything is one. the only real distinction becomes one of scale. there’s no “outside” of this to shelter yourself from.

This man attacked a non-citizen with a knife and was arrested. Then he sent a fake Presidential death threat pretending to be the man he attacked. Because the victim wasn't a citizen, the Trump administration arrested the victim... and DHS still has the fake threat on their site.

This is what they’re doing with Palestine. Saying there’s a ceasefire while Israel still bombs Gaza every night. And MSM loves these statements because they can go back to pretending nothing is happening
This is NOT how it’s playing out on the ground. Neighbors were hit by chemical munitions and one was arrested in my district literally 90 minutes ago (19th+port). This administration lies constantly. The invasion of Minneapolis, and our courageous resistance, continues.

*He. He was a trans man. So often transmascs and trans men are misgendered even in death and that is why you so rarely see reports of murders fuelled by anti-transmasculinity. Because the official statements and media miscategorise them as cys women.
During protests on Thursday, 8 Jan 2026, in Mehrshahr, Karaj, IR security forces shot & killed #SamanehAbdi. She was 24 years old & was shot directly in the heart. Samaneh was part of the LGBT community, & had faced a lack of acceptance from her family & society, she had
