Washington State, all of your reps gave ICE new powers to collect your personal info except Reps. Jayapal and Randall btw

@UtilityCalc @CubanInReno @katewillett Are you not aware there are other forms of slavery that are not chattel slavery? No where did OP specifically compare 24 hour care shifts to chattel slavery.

I can’t stop imagining making the choice to run as far as you can from anyone you love so you can hopefully be killed alone. I just. I’m so fucking angry and sad. This is something beyond evil.

Orders have been issued to evacuate this area in Beirut, home to nearly one million people. Israeli officials say it will become like Khan Younis—completely destroyed

We warned you that Gaza is the testing ground for a lawless new world order.

@Janeisacutie @vespertinertia Women choosing not to be pregnant because of the dangers of doing so and because of the lack of support when raising children is just the other side of the coin in advocating for mothers and children.

[morespleen @WhenJediAttack]

@Janeisacutie @vespertinertia Many women (and CHILDREN) don't get to make fully informed choices because we aren't sufficiently taught about our reproductive systems + the outcomes of our current (in the US) medical system for pregnant and postpartum people.

@PMc276 @hell_line0 Except that the husband is in 99% likelihood his wife's legal guardian or has Power of Attorney so the care facility has no legal basis to deny him which is what makes this whole situation a systemic issue of violence.

[Cinemarxism @CinemarxismBret]

Ok I need to address this:

Local organizers with labor orgs, abolitionist orgs and city elected officials in Kansas City have been organizing strategic campaigns against this facility for over a month!

This happened AFTER Platform Ventures, the capital firm that owns the warehouse, announced in a pissed off pouty statement that they weren't selling the warehouse to DHS. They cited "threats to their families" among other things meant to garner sympathy and slander the grassroots organizing that thwarted their plans. This person cares enough to catch an arson charge, but not enough to know the basic updates on this monumental development hours after the fact?

From everything I can tell, local news filmed this! KMBC was on the scene reporting on the aforementioned announcement and this person walked up in broad daylight in flip flops in February and did this on camera. You can tell from the camera movement this is a big camera all the way zoomed in on a tripod.

Stop giving this lady credit for cancelling the sale! Individual action will not save us, and it didn't here. Coordinated, collective, strategic action is what stopped this deal. Dumbass shit like this has incredibly high potential to blow back on the organizers who actually stopped this, and honestly I wouldn't put it past DHS or this capital firm to do this themselves to shape their narrative.

@perfectcelebrty designers/directors give models directions on how the designer wants the model to walk down the runway. This was probably intentional and indicative of nothing unless you are an insane person obsessed with passing judgment on other people's sexualities

Something to be written about how the stock phrases of War on Terror propaganda have finally been evacuated of literally all meaning except their core rhetorical function: to legitimize unlimited US state violence, both at home and abroad

It’s always adorable when Americans point at a satellite photo of Korea
as if a lightbulb can wash away a century of blood.

South Korea is “bright” because the US turned the peninsula into a permanent military outpost.
North Korea is “dark” because the US carpet-bombed it until a quarter of its population died.
History isn’t a screensaver, it has a body count.

If US intervention made countries “better,” Latin America would be a utopia, and Iraq would have electricity 24 hours a day.

But sure, keep posting night-time NASA pictures, like a child shaking a glowstick and calling it foreign policy.

[aster 🌼 @themermacorn]

Venezuela is also the only country that supplies Cuba with oil. If they topple Venezuela, Cuba will be plunged deeper into an energy crisis. Decades of US foreign policy in LatAm have been about “preventing another Cuba”. This is an attack on the sovereignty of the entire region.

So the problem was not the hate filled Hebrew language tweets but rather that non-Hebrew speakers were suddenly able to read them and see how hateful they were.

Everyone knew this was a scam. There are now two Gazas: the 58% occupied by Israel, completely flattened, which has been completely purged of Palestinians. And the 42% that is now a concentration camp, where all survivors live without sufficient food, water, shelter, or medicine.

56% of all Black Americans live in the South. The Supreme Court is threatening to wipe out Black political representation.
