IF YOURE STRUGGLING FOR JUSTICE, YOU CAN NEVER LOSE, EVEN IF THEY KILL YOU
-Kwame Ture speaking at The University of Georgia

This has to be felt every day; The establishment relies on us losing hope. Do not conflate being exhausted with hope being lost.

If you need support, reach out to someone for support, but DO NOT project that emotion onto the whole movement, publicly. Don't post through it or life will pass you by

For the women who paved it and the ones pushing it forward 🤝​

This Women’s History Month, we celebrate the women who led the way, those leading today, and the next generation shaping the future of our game.

filming a hasty video in the dark at a golf resort while wearing a ball cap and releasing it on social media at 2AM then disappearing from view is one of those things that would make this seem like farce if there weren't a very real and mounting death toll attached to it, it's very surreal

The sole promise of using LLM's in war is that no human will face a firing squad for the atrocities the machine commits.

As a side effect, it also guarantees no human involved is able to tell their commanding officer "No, I will not do this"

Whether that results in an uninterrupted rape and murder spree or literally global thermonuclear annihilation.

The promise of OpenAI and Grok being used in war is that no human can be held accountable for the war crimes it commits, all the way up to where it sits on the chain of command.

The total abdication of any kind of accountability, any kind of "am I following an unjust order" moral hesitation, etc.

My feminism is when I do apologetics for the indiscriminate murder of over 100 schoolgirls

Maybe it’s because I’m a colonial historian but so many of these white nation states seem to behave exactly like they did in the 19th century: ‘your leaders aren’t right for you,’ ‘we’re only killing you/colonizing you/installing puppet leaders for your own good’

Having a hard time deciding where to focus my anxiety about the future: the possible outbreak of a world war, murder robots breaking down peoples’ doors, murder drones assassinating people through their windows, or Pete Hegseth’s unleashed AI starting a nuclear war because it saw a guy in a turban.

war in iran brought to you by draftkings sportsbook sign up today and get 10,000 free warbucks

the incentives here are so obscenely terrible that the entire thing should be illegal by default

“I am sabotaging negotiations because I stand to make piles of money on Polymarket” is absolutely in play, what a horrifying clusterfuck

meanwhile, war rages on at home.

When I was a teenager, my best friend was sent to die in a war based on a lie. He didn't even want to go but his family told him he had to go to pay for college, so he did.

And now I'm thinking about how we have advanced exactly zero steps in TWENTY-ONE FUCKING YEARS.

"new world order"

"The exact same war, with worse consequences. Maybe Obama was not so much a breath of fresh air as he was a prolonged wheeze between two racking coughs."

we were probably all up last night staring at the ceiling with our own version of the same thought running on endless loop, but mine looked something like this:

I hate these people to a degree that feels simultaneously corrosive to the soul, and also the only righteous response to this kind of evil

The Trump regime, which has boasted about low gas prices, just launched a war that has closed the Strait of Hormuz, where 20% of the world's oil normally passes.

sure the pedophile felon president just illegally bombed a country that may have nukes while federal forces under his command murder and harass people in america and immigrants are tortured and he moves forward with plans to build concentration camps and sorry idk where i was going fuck all of this

What "it's a distraction" people fundamentally need to understand about fascism is that fascism's entire mode of operation is diverting popular anger/anxiety/despair into channels of violence against the Other (both internal and external).

It's not flailing, it's the whole strategy.

Two Los Angeles protesters convicted of stalking ICE agent Two protesters were convicted of stalking a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent in a case that could test the limits of furious protests against the Trump administration's immigration raids...

And third, Uncle Drunky, it's not the Department of War.

“As a final message to our warriors, the Ivy League faculty lounges may loathe you, the so-called elite of academia may mock your patriotism and disdain your sacrifice, but never forget that we the War Department have your back.”

First of all -- fuck you, Pete. None of this is happening in the faculty lounges of your fever dreams.

Second, I've taught military personnel in our PhD programs and if you think slamming the door to Harvard and Princeton in their faces is "having their back" you're even dumber than you sound.

In my time at Princeton, we've had several Army officers in our doctoral program. They've all done excellent work.

When this former Princeton undergrad says we're actually teaching them "the enemy's wicked ideology" I have no idea what the hell he's talking about but, of course, neither does he.

Trump to Iranians: ‘Take Over Your Government’ By Vera Bergengruen President Trump urged Iranians to “take over your government” as the U.S. and Israeli attack continued. “I say tonight that the hour of your freedom is at hand,” he said in a video posted on Truth Social, warning Iranians to stay at home because “bombs will be dropping everywhere.” “When we are finished, take over your government. It will be yours to take,” he said. “This will be probably your only chance for generations… So let's see how you respond.” Trump said that the U.S. would be backing Iranians “with overwhelming strength and devastating force,” and urged them to seize the moment. “This is the moment for action. Do not let it pass

Ha ha haha ha we're actually going for it, we're doing regime change fucking again, Jesus Christ

I am sure JD Vance will resign in protest, right?

things every single republican president of your lifetime has done

- started a war in the middle east
- completely destroyed the economy

Racist Trump supporters have no problem sacrificing their family members. It truly is a death cult propped up around a pedophile. No exaggeration. If he brings back the draft, he's done though.
