Me packing for a 1.5 day camping trip: “maybe I should bring my home MRI machine in case I need it”

Hit 7500 miles on my Tern GSD right as I went by east side Stellantis. The past and the future in one photo. It is, in fact, possible to be car free in the motor city. ❤️🚲✊

It’s absurd that every article I’m trying to read about a tsunami about to hit Japan is paywalled.

The very same week Dana Nessel made a media splash with her sternly worded letter criticizing Trump’s use of masked agents who refuse to identify themselves … she sent masked agents who refused to identify themselves to the homes of U-M pro-Palestinian student activists.

We need a USB-C type consortium for the Deli Container and Lid industry.

Revolution as a process is inevitable. Revolutionary socialist politics simply account for that. We can no more summon a revolution than we can summon a windstorm. But good politics can help us build shelter or sails, as needed.

The point of struggle is to STRUGGLE. When the boot is on your neck and the hand is around your throat you don’t wait for proper channels. You fight.

There are no bystanders in fascism. Each of us is either grease for the machine or a wrench in the gears.

Signal names be like “Jēsū ☭ (h/t) 🧑‍🎤 ⚖️ 🌅🇵🇸 (unavail. for 3 days until risen again)”

If you think Hakeem Jeffries is here to help us you have not been paying attention.

Always talk to friends. Never talk to cops. ONLY talk to media about cops. NEVER talk to media about friends.

…the clean laundry pile of Theseus at the foot of my bed…

NYT puzzles are the circus they use to keep you eating their moldy bread. I know a lot of you who are smarter than to keep reading it. Give up Wordle. There’s other apps or go buy a puzzle book. You’ll be fine and you’ll stop being dosed w transphobia, nationalism, militarism, and NGO corporatism.

This is kidnapping. Bystanders and community defense orgs should use force to defend against these “officers”. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

You’re driving a car approaching a turn and a bicyclist is in front of you: Please just wait and make the turn behind them. Don’t speed up to pass, don’t tailgate or crowd. You’ll survive if you arrive 20 seconds late; I may not if you put your schedule before my life.

Seeking a dive bar with food in Indianapolis. Bonus if live music.

No Kings 1/2 Everyone should show up for things tomorrow. Massiveness is what’s most important politically. The more people who do the safer it will be. Experienced folks are happy to help newer folks land somewhere within their risk tolerance.

PSA: You never need to register or RSVP for a protest. If you really want to get all the emails and be plugged into that stuff, good for you go for it. But it hurts nothing and nobody to simply show up. Do not let these orgs pressure you into registering.

People are under attack rn I’m not really interested in this cool pope circus. I’ll give a shit about cool pope when he uses his White Sox hat to throw a CS canister back at the police, or when he is tackled entering an ICE facility to free kidnapped families.

One of the first deaths reported in Tehran was a child. Israel is killing children in a whole new country now. The children of Gaza and the West Bank in Palestine are not safe. The children of Lebanon are not safe. Now children in Iran are in the genocidal state’s crosshairs.

Hell ppl can criticize PSL for non masking, settler chauvinism, authoritarian vanguardism, hijacking protests–whatever you want–but is it really that hard to say “no congress should not be hauling socialist parties and Latinx political orgs in front of counterterrorism subcommittees”?! ffs

Tyrants don’t stop when you ask them to. They stop when you stop them.

If you say that all resistance must be unarmed and nonviolent you’re really just declaring your acquiescence to the authoritarian process.

Fascism has to be stopped with organized physical force. There is no other way.

People who talk about “purity tests” are willing to sacrifice Trans people and Palestinians and immigrants. Rejecting principle and labeling it as “purity” is not how you beat fascism, that’s how you join it.

The pretty things on our side of apartheid are not more sacred than the lives shredded by the machine that keeps the wall up. Free Palestine. 🇵🇸

"...I think for us as bicyclists, if we cherish these things, if we value these things, and we want to see them expand a little bit further, we need to keep fighting, and we have to have a little bit of imagination about how we're going to fight."

Liberalism is monarchs doing land acknowledgments here while genocide continues there.

Black Lives Matter!

There are conservative Andor fans (pause for laughter) who insist the show and Star Wars in general are not antifascist (more laughter)

Trumbull / Grand River / MLK should be Detroit’s first roundabout! There’s enough room, it can be big enough for trucks without demolishing anything. It would be a huge improvement for everyone moving through that area.

If you are driving trying to pass a bicyclist and you don't have 3-4 feet of space to give them, you don't have enough room to pass. Please slow down, don't tailgate, and wait until there is room.

It’s time to start coming to terms with what “rebellion” really means. And it’s not permitted rallies that declare themselves peaceful and stay on the sidewalk. If you’re interested in exploring the history, theory, and practice of revolution check out www.marxists.org/admin/janito...

“Why don’t we all do something?!” millions of middle class progressives with good careers exasperate as they sit at their desks, doing nothing, but continuing to generate returns for shareholders.

Are cheese, fish, and war the only things that have “mongers”? Is anything else monged these days?

Rest assured, I am working tirelessly to locate sympathy for Joe Biden.

Lotta people talking about the corrupting potential of an airplane who have never said one thing about AIPAC.

Joe Biden is a segregationist who warned that integration would mean his kids had to grow up in a “racial jungle” www.nbcnews.com/news/ncna102...

I hope Joe gets the same care that cancer patients at TPFH in North Gaza are receiving today.

Heading N on 2nd Ave out of New Center toward Boston Edison there’s a regular pattern … each two neighboring streets have an alley between them. But then you get to Boston Blvd and where its north alley should be there is a street– Glynn Ct. Urban planning history nerds: why?

Futurama 407 “Jurassic Bark” just made me cry on the gym treadmill

Finally earned enough XP to unlock the “bifocal” upgrade for my eyewear 💪🧓🏻

David Hogg is doing Dem voters the service of illustrating exactly why the Democratic Party can never be transformed from within.

What ever happened to Black Lives Matter? Ten years after the Ferguson uprising we evaluate the movement against racist police brutality and consider how to contend with liberal cooptation of radical liberatory struggle. Come through today! Noon-2pm at DPL - Hubbard

I want to designate a specific area on a google map and then be able to check addresses to see if they are inside that area. Is there a free website or app that can do this?

Robert Prevost aka Leo XIV is anti gay, registered Republican, and helped cover up clergy sexual abuse of kids. I know my Catholic comrades wanted a win, but I don’t think this is the guy.

No dismissal. No plea deals. Kent County Prosecutor Chris Becker must retry killer cop Christopher Schurr for the murder of Patrick Lyoya. #BlackLivesMatter #JusticeForPatrickLyoya

Christopher Schurr jury is deadlocked, mistrial motion made and denied, jury received deadlocked jury instructions and told to go back to deliberations. #JusticeForPatrickLyoya

This morning outside of Christopher Schurr's murder trial, GRPD arrested a Justice for Patrick Lyoya demonstrator for *littering*.
