They’re so scared and so stupid it’s painful, it’s basically a conspiracy by any other name, only think capitalist fascist thoughts

[Aashish Kaul @smalldiscourse]

@umairh The problem is the big publishers and agents acting as gatekeepers and publishing complete garbage.

[❤️ @umairh]

Any book that’s published in America, which at this point are mostly just bullshit compared to the rest of the world, American publishing is terrified of being critical or thoughtful

@umairh Back in the day we had people like Paddy Chayefsky and Horton Foote writing for television. Leonard Bernstein presented his Young People's Concerts. Hallmark commissioned Gian Carlo Menotti to write an opera! Now we have Love Island and the Real Housewives of New York.

⛔️ICE is getting more and more violent every day against women, and especially against young women..‼️

In this video you can see how they violently shove Cassandra Feuerstein into the cell..‼️

@umairh I’ve been reading some Le Monde in English - not sure if this would count.

@iwelsh Oof. I’m proud of you man. You know why. And I’m sending you a big hug 🙏🙏🙏

You and I both remember those days. Now they make me chuckle. Because it really was the price: sell your fucking soul

[Ian Welsh @iwelsh]

@umairh public intellectuals in America are people like Stephen Pinker, pedophile neoliberalism apologists.

You could have been one: just had to sell your soul.

“Since 2000, some 3,500 newspapers have closed shop, abandoning one in four Americans who now live in news deserts with no local newspaper.” The context for WaPo layoff is beyond grim: destruction of media diversity and right to information emptied out https://t.co/fHgwXzBk6g

steve bannon telling epstein that the best way to quell domestic upheaval is to attack another country.

i said it a few days ago, but it really is insane how every single left wing political theory has been proven entirely correct. literally every single one.

On this day in 1993, the late Layne Staley of Alice In Chains saw a man giving Nazi salutes in the crowd during one of his concerts. Staley invited the man on stage, and then proceeded to punch him twice in the face and have him ejected. Legend.

[European Democrats @democrats_eu]

Exit polls leave no room for doubt: António José Seguro is on track to become Portugal’s next President with 69.3% of the vote, decisively defeating far-right candidate André Ventura. Beyond the numbers, this is a political message for the whole of Europe. Once again — after Romania and the Netherlands — a moderate, pro-European candidate prevails over a Trump-inspired populist right. The dark tide of the far right is not inevitable. It can be stopped when democracy, responsibility and European values are defended without hesitation — and when politics delivers real answers to citizens.

The unspeakable horror, the tearing apart of the most fundamental and sacred moral boundaries

[Jesus Freakin Congress @TheJFreakinC]

🚨BREAKING: ICE agents are ripping breastfeeding mothers away from their babies.

Not the “worst of the worst”…

BREASTFEEDING MOTHERS.

These are parents with active, pending legal cases, trying to care for their babies, and being taken anyway.

And when ICE takes a breastfeeding mother, they are endangering an infant, and there is no justification for that.

Because many babies will not take formula, and many won’t even take a bottle.

So, separating a nursing mother from her baby means that baby may not eat. At all.

And that is how babies starve.

This is exactly why detaining breastfeeding mothers was historically against ICE protocol… Even the government understood that taking a nursing parent can be deadly.

Those protections existed for a reason...
And the Trump administration removed them.

Now, mothers are being detained while their babies lose their primary source of nutrition, immune protection, comfort, and survival.

When families are forced to crowdsource donated breast milk just to keep an infant alive, that is not a system failure.

That is a system functioning exactly as designed.

A system built to profit from human detention… even when it endangers babies.

A system built on human trafficking.

And just to reiterate:

They are taking mothers who are here legally… They have active, pending immigration cases.

So no, you do not get to call yourself “pro-life” while supporting a system that knowingly puts infants at risk of starvation.

If this administration cared about the lives of babies, this would never be happening.

What ICE is doing is evil, and there is no moral defense for it.

[Suzie rizzio @Suzierizzo1]

This man ? iCE keeps coming up to this woman’s apartment door knocking & banging on it harassing her! She’s told him to leave her alone & he keeps coming back so this time she opened the door a tiny bit & pepper sprayed him & you can hear him screaming & yelling because of it!🤣

Seriously. Everybody should be reading Brecht these days. When we devalue the humanities of course we end up at the mercy of fascists and pedos and monsters who wish to take our humanity away

[death: the high cost of living @eilise]

tech bros will tell you the humanities are useless but the most relevant course I took as an undergrad was a theatre of the absurd class where we read absurdist plays -- that class absolutely helped me live in these times.
