The thing that will protect you and get you free is not whether you are a citizen or not a criminal, but whether you are part of something much bigger called us. Full piece here.

Remember that Epstein is not the sole center, he is merely one point in a vast web that spans across every aspect of the United States, internally, and internationally.

The United States Empire is built on every act in the Epstein Files, from the anti-Blackness, enslavement, eugenics, rape, trafficking, everything. There is actually nothing new, as mortifying as it is. It is a continuation of a very well worn playbook.

I am striking Friday, January 30, in solidarity with the students, orgs, unions, and businesses in Minneapolis who have made a call to action for a nationwide shutdown. No shopping, no work, no school. I will still be doing liberatory fighting.

Murdering a witness means that every single one of us who bears witness is also within that line of fire. That is each of us here, right now. Each person that has been abducted, disappeared, and murdered, is us. This has always been the case, regardless of citizenship, regardless of borders.

Insight from Korea, where the U.S. orchestrated wars, elections, dictatorships, division, and is still occupying us. Where they forced Korea to equip itself with arms that would not be necessary if the U.S. did not threaten it in the first place.

Capitalist colonial leaders and followers would rather kill people than have them be free. It is no small purpose to dedicate our lives to ensuring that we are able to reach liberation together. This is the time to truly solidify, unify around, and support those who are guided by this purpose.

Restart your device. What better time to restart your device than the restart of the made up colonial Gregorian year of 2026. We should be rebooting our phones, laptops, and desktop computers on a regular basis anyway.

Speaking as a privacy and security anti-surveillance person. To only wear a mask to thwart surveillance of yourself (which is not guaranteed with just a mask btw), but not wear one to protect each other from viruses and germs, is ableist.

Two people were arguing on the train I was on in Seoul, so the conductor announced for them to stop fighting and exit at the next station. And so they stopped and left. Because Korean trains are quiettttt.

I recommend turning OFF AI search in your browser entirely. And do not use the browser if you are given no choice. AI bot answers are also worse because they were not built give you the best answers to your question. They are trained to give you the most average answer.

The redacted pages of the Epstein Files, many entirely so, are visual representations of who this regime is protecting, and how much information has always been kept from the People. Those redacted pages are Empire itself.

This regime’s signing of an Executive Order to punish states that attempt to regulate AI, particularly around protections for privacy and transparency, is lethal and fatal. It will drastically escalate oppressive structures, and is a guaranteed mass incarceration, surveillance, and control sentence.

It is 100% reasonable to normalize wearing a brimmed hat, sunglasses, mask, and play around with your gait, all on a regular basis. Because that is an appropriate response to the state normalizing surveillance.
