A rising tide drowns more bodies than it lifts all boats…

Trying to ignore so as not to give the Olympics any more power, but my silence should not taken as complicity… A reminder: the Olympics, especially the winter games, have very little to do with sports and everything to do with exploitative capitalism, elitism, and nationalism

#Impeach, #Dismantle, #Revolutionize

America certainly has a weird masochist tendency— it takes the most abusive conduct before (mainstream) Americans take notice and begin to challenge their banally violent institutions… It is doubtful that ICE or Epstein would be under such scrutiny if Trump was not elected, which is quite sad

It always pains me to say it, but without the terroristic tactics by Trump & ICE, a large portion of the American public wouldn’t give a damn about the violent carceral state… Out of sight, out of mind is their mantra That won’t work for me… Abolish ICE; Blur The Border; Free Us From This Prison

Though it may only be a drop in the bucket A win for thirsty workers is a crucial win These companies only exist as the extractive pus of an exploitative capitalist disease… they and it need to be challenged wherever possible

“Racism is not a question of attitude; it's a question of power. Racism gets its power from capitalism. Thus, if you're anti-racist, whether you know it or not, you must be anti-capitalist. The power for racism, the power for sexism, comes from capitalism, not an attitude.” ― Stokely Carmichael

If Harris had won, what would YOU be doing now?

Just imagine what would be happening in the US right now if instead of bickering over voting for Harris or boycotting the election, Americans actually confronted the violent institutions that made Trump’s terrorism possible?

People can vote for whoever they like, but the fundamental problems of living in an imperialist corporatized carceral necropolitical state will remain. Voting for the best warden is not enough; we need to tear down this concentration camp…

Just found out I’ve been blocked over 100 times (never blocked one) Never harassed, insulted, or belittled anyone; always engaged with empathy and good faith (if you find otherwise, please let me know so I can correct/ apologize) I guess that’s the way of the world — a loss of discourse and growth

Renee was Renee ☮️ The world is a lesser place without her But hopefully the wave of white fury will lift up, not wash out, the burning pleas for change by others!

Troll? Chat GPT? To paraphrase Audre Lorde, you can’t tear down the master’s house with the master’s tools. Engaging in the same fascist toolbox of dehumanizing and erasing others, I don’t know if that is good for progress

Let your hope be your rage, and rise up Let your goodwill be your righteous anger, wake up Hold out one hand to the sky, clasped in a fist The other open in a welcoming embrace to lift up your fallen brethren They are sick from hate, lost without empathy We need to do our best for us all

If you earned $1 every second… It would take you a day to earn $86,400 To earn 1 million dollars, it would take you fewer than 12 days To earn 1 trillion dollars, it would take 32,000 years! Incidentally, that is the same amount of time to spend a trillion if you spent a $1 every second

How about all that planning and investment to ensure Americans have the basics, you know, stuff like health care and affordable food?

Happy 36th Anniversary of the invasion and capture of Manuel Noriega from Panama (January 3rd, 1990) America loves doing American things!

I am trying to give much leeway, holding out much hope, biting my tongue of early criticism, especially in the face of bad faith actors making spurious complaints But should this be a carnivorous display, including the parading of flesh ripped off the backs of butchered cows, my heart will hurt

Impeachment is not enough The system isn’t broken, it is fixed Trump is symptomatic of a rotten core

Every post on social media consumes the planet and lines the pockets of the ultra rich… So make it count!

We are in the belly of the beast, capitalism So if you need to perform some profane work to survive, I can’t blame you But if you must, please do it with sabotage in your heart Strength to the righteous!

Interesting article, though one can wonder if it is right (partly) in the diagnosis and yet still wrong in the cure, that the “Palestine liberation” it champions is not just another breed of zionism in its adoption of human exceptionalist nationalizing politics… mondoweiss.net/2025/09/ecoc...

Considering how the legal system is attached to a meat-churning and consuming empire, and shows little respect for anything nonhuman, it is amazing the work that the ALDF and animal-supporting law firms do. Inspiring!

www.science.org/content/arti... Individual agency, underestimated ingenuity, perhaps even animal resistance (foiling traps by taking the bait out of them), another reminder how humans know so little in their supposed “mastery” of the planet

What does it say when a government is more invested in lottery tickets than food stamps?

Friend sent me this… #AbolishICE #AbolishCitizenship Liberate the border!

Trump’s “show” of force is not an illustration of an abuse of power but the truth that power is abusive #MeltICE Citizenship is inherently oppressive #NotAQuirk but the system

Is anyone else worried that a “reopened” government is going to mask the corrupt functions of a broken system?

“The rain fell upon the earth for forty days and forty nights.” Genesis 7:12 Would it now be apt to say the government shutdown is of biblical proportions?

The American Dream is a nightmare We need to wake up more people to that fact

When your barber cuts your hair, it is a service When a stranger on the street cuts your hair, it could be an assault It will be interesting how 18 U.S.C. § 111(a)(1) is interpreted in the sandwich-throwing trial and whether this will be a case of jury nullification

Congratulations to mayor Mamdani and, even more, to the grassroots efforts that got him elected! Hoping we see the lives of all New Yorkers improve in the upcoming years But I still will remain vigilant.

Anger is a natural and often useful emotion born of frustration, but I am going to have to push more for hope, real hope

What a good politician’s rhetoric… full of shit

How cruel, following a night of community and giving with sweets and tricks-or-treats, that the next evening even more children will be facing the prospect of going to bed hungry There is already too many starving people in this country… we don’t need this manufactured crisis

We are so far behind if we need to fight just to fund a broken system or people will starve 😔

That a president can turn off the tap of food for millions of people not only shows the cold heart of this administration, but the failure/wanting of SNAP as a long-term program…

Some people are still complaining about the destruction of the East Wing and nothing else..

Btw, didn’t the American “Founding Fathers” turn to King Louis XVI — who was even more monarchical than King George III in many ways — to secure their independence? Seems a little hypocritical… though what can we expect from a group of slaveholders who declared that ‘all men are born free’

On the hopeful side, maybe all this aggravation can help bring about something new

Is anyone else beyond exhausted by the American flag-waving of the #NoKings -type protests? For many, America was, is, and looks like it will never be a democracy of which they can be part The horribles of the Trump era are nothing new

I am creating this account out of desperation Do I expect things to change — no But maybe this can be a record for future generations (if there are any) that people did not think all the same
