I don’t think the Greeks get enough credit for one of their foundational contributions to western civilization being the concept of chattel slavery

We're all we've got. Best to spend time figuring out how to live into this truth.

In many of the first generation of modern concentration camp systems (near the turn of the twentieth century), the vast majority of deaths were caused by disease and malnutrition. Most of the victims were women and children.

A lot of carceral workers are nonwhite people. Another example of why we need to deal with the racial politics of how people are recruited and encouraged to become carceral workers, and how the pathologizing of nonwhite communities and their “redemption” through carceral service are part of that.

100%. I honestly believe political leaders ask too little of people. The thinking is you need an extraordinarily low bar - so ask people for money or to sign something. People want to be part of something and they're eager to do real meaningful work in defense of their community and their rights.

The majority of organizing happening in Minnesota isn’t just peaceful, it’s INVISIBLE. Moms showing up who won’t be interviewed on TV, people whose ICE patrols don’t turn into viral video. The grocery runs, the donations, the people filming bc they happen to be there. Please remember this.

I also think about this essay on MLK and dignity by the philosopher Derrick Darby and in it he talks about the precarity of our status as “dignified beings”—the thin line between showing courage in the face of brutality and allowing yourself to be a brutalized body and an object of abuse

literally yes

Anyway this is the shit that they call "unskilled labor" but it is actually really fucking hard to be able to anticipate needs and meet them before they come up.

Wake up. Make breakfast. Do email. Watch a murder. Go to a party for a 5 year old. Laugh with my daughter. See a different angle of that murder. Hear govt officials slander the victim. Play Barbies with my kid. Feed her dinner. Tear up at that victim reading last honors to a vet. Put kid to bed. USA

a distinction that I first noticed at the memorial in Paris to the “martyrs of the Deportation,” which focused on those deported for political speech instead of those deported for being Jews: There’s a difference between being treated as an enemy of the state and being treated as an animal.

I'm gonna tell this to all yall white folks that need to hear it. If you're only becoming this angry now, you need to kill the white supremacist in your heart. These killings are not new. These killings are not extraordinary. They are the standard. This is America. As it always was.

At the end of the day, the Black Lives Matter era was about whether people should be killed in the street, and lots of people decided yeah and put those little blue flags on their cars. It spread to everyone because it stopped for no one.

I think a lot of us get hope wrong. Hope, I do not believe, is an emotion. In fact, hope makes space for lots of emotions to exist alongside it. You can DO hope scared, angry, sad etc... Hope doesn't find us. We make hope through action and struggle. It's a practice of living and is re-made daily.

Get ready.

Personally I’ve been a lot healthier when I started to let myself cry. Would recommend allow yourself to be in tune with your emotions.

THE OPEN ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF GRIEF IS A POLITICAL ACT.

Everybody should watch this and see this woman, who has a baby in her arms and is thrust into basically a standoff, develop courage in real time.

“I have asked the clergy of the diocese to make sure their affairs are in order and they have written their wills.,not the time for statements. It is time to put our bodies between the powers of this world and the most vulnerable”. Rob Hirschfeld, Bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of New Hampshire

Begging leftists not to dismiss the crucial role of radical clergy in mass protest movements as happened so often during his first term. At every one of my most formative experiences, they’ve been there. The most brutal violence I’ve experienced at a protest was side by side with radical clergy.

I was watching the American Experience documentary about reporting on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and it was Black and Japanese journalists who broke the news about what was actually happening. I was thinking of that last night, when y'all warned people about the police state decades ago.

2020 uprisings scared shit out of the right, & they sometimes openly fantasized about attacking/murdering protesters Vance promoting the vid of Renee Nicole Good's murder is a signal to supporters this admin wants to make those fantasies a reality

the best antidote to blackpilling is remembering that every video you see of an ICE thug abusing their power was recorded by an American who volunteered to put themselves in harm's way for the sake of people they've likely never met and never will

Can we talk about the amount of ICE agents that are visibly hispanic. I wonder if ICE would radically profile their own goons if they werent in uniform

thinking a lot lately about our surprise when the victim of state violence is white, a citizen, a priest, a veteran, some category viewed as exempt from that violence. it’s time to understand you aren’t. no one is. whiteness isn’t the color of your skin it is a conditional privilege you can lose.

I saw a post going around yesterday that ICE should be like the sex offender registry, you should have to announce yourself to your neighbors and stay 500 feet away from kids. I have never supported any watchlist more

really feels like Becca Good saying “go get some lunch, big boy” is when he snapped. the kind of man who joins ICE is absolutely the kind of man who thinks women should die for saying things like that. they absolutely crash out when we aren’t cowering in fear and making them feel scary & powerful

Folks in cities currently occupied by ICE: What preparations are you glad your neighborhood did prior to occupation? And what preparations do you wish your neighborhood had done?

😫😫

“I have advocated, and I still advocate revolutionary change. I advocate an end to capitalist exploitation, the abolition of racist policies, the eradication of sexism, and the elimination of political repression. If that is a crime, then I am totally guilty.” - Assata Shakur
