Blackavar @blackavar-inle.bsky.social 2h Joined Feb '25 Oh every time Mamdani's posts hit my timeline, l've been commenting a reminder and demand re: pushing the hospitals to restart trans healthcare. And I will continue to do so until he does it. Fuck ICE @joshallenfan2.bsky.social Yeah that's unhealthy and continuing to do it will risk encouraging cis libs who see in Mamdani an example of a leftist pol they're amenable to supporting to see trans people as a barrier to that alliance. Your reflexive antagonism creates a permission structure for theirs. Fuck ICE @joshallenfan2.bsky.social Like do we really want to cultivate an environment where every time he does something good we have a bunch of normies thinking "please god don't let trans people find this post”
Tom @moll.dev being a snitch and tagging Aaron in to delete a Palestinian account.
The cover of Chanda Prescod-Weinstein’s new book The Edge of Space-Time. The book is a hardback. All of the text is in a blocky black font. The center has a graphic that is half of a rainbow circle on one side, and on the other there are black and white circles of varying thicknesses. (Cover is gorgeous, I’m not doing it justice.)
CNN showing a split screen. On the left are the massive fires burning in Tehran. On the left is Trump dancing while he’s giving a speech. (I think).
As Jeremy Brecher observed in the foreword to his book, Strike!: Most historians, whether radical or conservative, tend to consider ordinary workers a mere "rank and file," controlled and directed by unions and labor leaders. Strikes are presumably the work of these organizations and leaders. I have found, on the contrary, that far from fomenting strikes and rebellions, unions and labor leaders have most often striven to prevent or contain them, while the drive to extend them has generally come from a most undocile "rank and file." ... Ordinary working people, acting on their own, have through the decades thought, planned, drawn lessons from their own experiences, organized themselves, and taken action in common.... Ordinary people can have power over social life when power as we have known it-power of some people over others-is dissolved completely.'
Anna O. Law’s book titled Migration and the Origins of American Citizenship sitting on a wood table with a pen above and to the right. The cover is a light mottled brown. Under Anna’s name is the Subtitle: African Americans, Native Americans, and Immigrants. Below that is a faded American Flag that looks like it’s fraying at the edges and is covered in black ink splotches, one of which resembles a person.
Mills recently mentioned the tattoo in a media advisory. The National Republican Senatorial Committee has started tweeting about it. There have not been TV ads with it. Do you feel like that's going to change anything in the race? PLATNER: No. I'll tell you why I don't think it's going to. Because everybody in Maine knows about it already. We did this in October. I've been very, very happy to talk about it in many public spaces. Also, I will just be upfront: When people start seeing what it actually is, everybody I've talked to is like, 'Yeah, that's a skull and crossbones.!' Not a swastika. PLATNER: Exactly. But the way it was reported on, though... I had a meeting in New York not that long ago with a number of Jewish leaders, we started talking about it, and when we started, somebody was like, 'Wait a second. We thought you had a swastika!' And I'm like, 'No, man. That would be crazy. When I explain the actual story, pretty much everybody's like, again, 'That seems like an eminently reasonable thing'
Graph showing barometric pressure in Chicago over the last 72 hours. Pressure has gone from 29.655 to 29.95 and back down and almost all the way back up again with a couple of other dips for good measure. Would probably make a fun roller coaster. As of this posting it’s around 29.905.
Text of repost: Shompson @shompson Yeah caught you lying sorry The ICE budget ballooned in FY2025 with the One, Big, Beautiful Bill Act Chart: Shows the budget of ICE going up each year with a massive jump in 2025.
Astrid Hammer @astridhammer.cryptoanarchy.network 5 Reply to @tm71 Hi, the unvaccinated child is ALSO a child. She's suggesting that we take children who are being neglected via a lack of vaccinations and then remove them from society so that they can be neglected out of sight. That's vile. Just require vaccinations, ffs. That way your kids don't kill me. • 1 • 1 Sheo @sheologian We cannot require them. That ship has sailed. I am not saying to isolate them at all. I think they should have their own public school. That is not isolation nor is it cruelty 2:41 PM • January 23, 2026 0 Reposts O Quotes O Likes 3m •..
Disimpassioned faces of CCPSA members who just assured us they were listening closely.

Zohran as Liu Bei
The door to the street lay wide open and a bunch of militians were taking their ease in the yard, my father waiting upon them. And then one of them cried out: —Eh? Buenaventura! And a small group that had been retreating stopped at our door. Durruti had transferred command and was heading back to the front and to his column. We invited then in for a drink. How well I remember it! My father with a bottle of El Mono anis in his hand, yes, I remember it perfectly, the wonders of recall, and he was pouring the liquor and the militians were sipping at it, before washing it down with a mouthful of cold water from the bodega's earthenware pitcher. Durruti was in a hurry, declining the anis but welcoming the cold water. I went to fetch him a glass. While he was drinking from it my father said something.... When he was done, he wiped his mouth with the back of his hand and, looking at my father, he laid his hand on my head and said: "We are making this revolution for their sake, for them." And that was how I first met Durruti. — from Agustín Camón's memories of his childhood, in Crónicas del 36
In the style of Zohran Mamdani’s campaign, a sign that says ‘ZOHRAN for U.S. PRESIDENT’.

@amyannfilmore.bsky.social@amyannfilmore 30m 5 Reply to @kimoco I'm sorry. I didn't mean to imply we should give up. I'm very depressed about it all but I don't think we should give up at all either. FYI my rep is co sponsoring a bill that will state they can't wear masks. I also don't think they will follow those orders but we should for sure still do it. 1 1 . . . Astrid Hammer @astridhammer.cryptoanarchy.network 5 Reply to @amyannfilmore We shouldn't give up. But the courts won't save us. Cops are gonna be cops. They don't arrest each other. 22m The thing that will help the most, and will be the best for your mental health, is to organize w/ people around you. Which sounds like not enough, but it's actually the only thing. 1 ... Kim @kimoco 17m ≤ Reply to @astridhammer.cryptoanarchy.network We NEED to use the courts and you are giving up and suggesting they cannot help. THAT IS SIMPLY NOT THE REALITY. We win more than we lose these cases. And I did not ask for mental health suggestions, thanks 3 ...
User amanfromuncle calls Molly Shah self-righteous for saying that the way to go is to infiltrate No Kings rallies that refuse to have Palestinian speakers by handing out fliers and talking to people - essentially an internal counterdemo. "Calling it a "counterdemo" is the kind of passive aggressive nonsense the left needs to drop if we're gonna get anywhere. Ian Renni points out that quibbling over word choice is awfully self-righteous. I said my eyes rolled into the back of my head when I read the OP. OP: Reply guys out in force in this time.
