Fuck ice
I’m done entertaining or looking at bad faith arguments. Fuck ICE. Abolish it
From another post: I wasn’t saying “don’t use Bluesky” just understand what Bluesky is
It’s a hang, but it’s also a bubble. If you’re putting resources to spread wide you have limits
X also has this problem and will eventually be Bluesky but for the far right
I like it here, but I know what it is

But specifically almost everybody with impact fucks up ALL THE TIME. We understand we make mistakes. Acting as if you know more than everybody else and that you are never wrong is a red flag to everyone. I’m know I fuck up all the time! Have some humility.
Or else you’re just performative
Some people JUST want to talk shit. To them activism is them feeling like they contributed something instead of actively being in service of others. It’s “thoughts and prayers” in a new costume
And obviously this is not directed at just online leftists but everybody politically active—
“But my circumstances are different! You don’t know how hard I have it!”
I’ve watched people say to me how anxious they are or how they can’t afford organizing with their job criticize organizers who are anxious and can’t afford this with their jobs — about how their the problem. Fuck off w this
Theory is great but all you’ve fucking done is JUST regurgitate how we’re all fucked. You attended one protest made a sign and that’s it, THEN bitched about no kings as a parade. No self awareness
I’ve watched people build community spaces for 10+ years, and I know yappers when I see em
I get so many messages from people telling me off about how shit works with corporations and capitalism, who’s experience in fighting both is like a Substack and dealing with YouTube terms and conditions.
It’s like mothefuckers who yell at LeBron saying “I could Make that shot” no Todd you can’t
If somebody who is actively working and putting in the time and effort tries to tell me how I’m wrong about something I will absolutely listen.
If you’re some bitch on Reddit or somebody with a wall of text you could put the nights watch on and want to tell me how “naive” I am, shut the fuck up pls
I can’t stress as bad as this situation is— there is so much political opportunism in the next 24 hours
I'm hardly original in saying this, but a lot of people are going to try to make this about whether Maduro being gone is good or bad as such, rather than the blatant violation of international and US law in a destabilizing act of aggression.
Don't fall for it.
Tonight, the President of the United States has launched an unconstitutional war of aggression, dooming another generation to spill their blood for oil, and lay waste to a sovereign nation.
I demand that Congress exercise its power, halt this conflict, and impeach this war criminal president.
I would pay for this
I don’t think this author is going to hurt music in any serious way, and tbh she’s way behind where the discussion for the public who listens to music actively is.
But id love it if she expanded her horizons a bit. If she doesn’t it’s fine. Other more pressing ways I can move things forward. 3/3
For example, I’ve dozens of leftists who were like “free Gaza” who when a very similar thing happened in 2022 or even back in 2010-12 were like “this is why religion is poison”.
Doesn’t mean they aren’t sincere now and feel awful, but it does mean they aren’t perfect. 2/3
I think a big part of being effective at activism is understanding people generally aren’t consistent.
I don’t think you are, I am not, we all have hills we will die on that betray our morals sometimes.
Having grace for that is important. 1/3
Let’s not just paint somebody’s entire work by their publication. NYT can be full of itself but She has some great really cogent pieces at NYT, she’s just wrong in this instance.
We don’t gotta make every fight a team sport yknow?
I would think someone who proudly puts “columnist” in their bio would be respectful enough not to strawman an argument but here we are.
Nobody said “news cycles” are musical, but adapting an emotion or information or any sort of useful source into a rhythmic pattern with tambor IS musical.
With all due respect ma’am, as a working musician who has studied theory and genre extensively, questioning if things are “musical” skills is antithetical to the progression and evolution of music.
That’s one of the biggest things you learn by studying the history of it.
shoutout to the crowd that insisted it was a political loser to stand up for abrego garcia’s rights
yo 4-8 point win in a plus 22 county is an enormous warning sign.
that's a 14-18 point shift. The signs of the last blue wave in 2017 prior to the 2018 mid terms-- was +8.
Culture has shifted.
