Nothing on earth can prepare you for TETRA NOVA, the operatic first novel from celebrated poet Sophia Terazawa, but in this thread we will do our best:

We organize with Haitian-origin farm workers in NY. They’re as American as the apple pie their work makes possible, but right wing racists are spreading dehumanizing lies.
Haitians are not eating pets.
They’re feeding America.
The anti-Haitian bigotry we’re seeing is repulsive.
Another world is not only possible, it is here 😍

All colonized nations at the Olympics should get to take an artifact out of the Louvre

This is a Green New Deal you can touch and feel, this is ecosocialism, this is green democratic industrial policy, this is feminism, this is Latin American left populism, this is a city made by and for its residents. Incredible, inspiring urbanism in Mexico City 🌿❤️🔥

From November 18, 2016:
“We’re heading into dark times — this is how to be your own light in the age of Trump”

A jury found that Trump committed 34 felonies to help win the White House in 2016.
After committing those crimes, once he took office, Trump then appointed three Supreme Court justices.
Those justices, along with the three other conservatives, then delayed — for months — efforts to hold Trump accountable for allegedly committing more crimes to hold onto power after losing the 2020 election.
Now, those same justices have supported the idea that Trump enjoys absolute immunity for "official acts" — thereby drastically weakening efforts to hold Trump accountable relating to this case and likely others.

Let me get this straight: so WE can’t have access to the archive of digital media and journalism for historical context, research, or critique, but AI can have unpermitted access to train on it and make uncritical simulations of it without humans, for profit?
Blow up the servers
destroying archives—incl archives of political satire shows—is one of the first things authoritarian govts & systems do. the daily show & colbert show consistently spoke truth to power
this is a very dangerous trend, so i say this with my whole chest—
what👏the👏actual👏f**k👏
ALT One of the richest repositories of late-night videos—including clips from every episode of The Daily Show since 1999 & the entire run of The Colbert Report—is no longer. Article: Paramount axes Comedy Central site

AIPAC’s $17+ million in spending made @JamaalBowmanNY's re-election race the most expensive House primary *in history.*
Despite a powerful, multi-racial coalition behind Bowman, the onslaught of spending was too much to overcome tonight.
Here’s what that means for all of us. 🧵

No matter the results in #NY16 and no matter your politics, we should all be able to agree that a super PAC spending $14 MILLION on a Congressional race is not democracy.
It’s not. At all.

NEW: The University of Arizona’s athletics department should increase ticket costs, monetize naming the football stadium to combat its $30 million deficit, outside audit says. The UA spent too much on food + hotels for players, among other flaws. Read:
