Authority doesn't really derive consent from the governed. We were almost never asked, and when we were asked, were we really given a real choice on the reimposition of a new party of order?

*Digs into the meme stash* Think you'll like this one.

1) american century of humiliation 2) lmfao 3) literally no reason for any head of state to believe that the ailing geriatric pedophile mad king of the western hemisphere will not leak your most confidential cables to him on his shitty website 4) heads of state use signal to communicate 5) lmfao

"I get that Martial law is an anxiety phrase that brings on Mad Max vibes, but the fact is the Insurrection Act is more limited than that and they suck at this shit... "They've loaded up MN with as many ppl as they can, and still can't control it because ppl are not complying, they're fighting back"

Contra el Comunismo Carcelario, ¡Por el Comunismo Abolicionista! (2022) – Simoun Magsalin Una novedosa síntesis de las tradiciones comunizadora y abolicionista para desarrollar una teoría crítica del comunismo carcelario mediante la cual criticar a los comunistas carcelarios y contraponerla a una…

I wrote #poetry about the cult of Anatolian Cybele, and also the Daughters of Bilitis, and the #Gay Liberation Front. I'm normal. (thank you @enbylife.bsky.social for platforming this lol) enbylife.net/2026/01/19/t...

smash turkish fascism! solidarity with rojava! 🏴

“Brown people agree with me” as a political argument is annoying af and orientalist.

Obviously we're talking about minorities of each group in every case but like we're also fighting against minorities of every other group that's just how politics work and that's especially true for street politics Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

And I fucking hate the caveats especially "NO CRIMINAL RECORD." People who have criminal records ALSO deserve dignity. OK.

Also hate "this is not about politics." Sorry people, you have to GROW UP. EVERY DAMNED THING IS POLITICAL. Everything. The word people are searching for is PARTISAN.

Kirsten Han, editor of 'We, The Citizens' and @mekongreview.com talk to me about -Singapore’s political landscape - The illusion of democracy, media control - LGBTQ life in Singapore - Public perceptions of the death penalty - Cultural context of drug policies, sex work vs. drugs and much more…

I like how Filipinos like to subvert Trump by saying he's the American Duterte, especially since Duterte was the prototype for a lot of Cambridge Analytica fake news and telenovela politics stuff we saw in Trump's first term.

Prabowo isn't 'Trump-like' in just the same way Duterte wasn't 'Trump-like', Prabowo is Prabowo-like. It's always been valuable to point out common factors between these sorts but this current habit of ascribing it to one American is p m tf o

The anarchists tried to stop ICE 20 years ago.

Here is our upcoming events🧵for the week! To start, want to highlight the work of Rohingya Maìyafuìnor Collaborative Network. They working hard to educate people on the genocide & help their community www.instagram.com/rohingyawome... They also raising funds: www.gofundme.com/f/emergency-... 1/

About the current situation in Syria rn: We're seeing the start of a new phase of the Syrian Civil War. Most of the withdrawals the SDF have partakes in have been in non-Kurdish majority territory. The real fighting will happen in Kurdish majority territory, and it will be long and drawn out.

Thinking a lot about revolutionary violence in the context of contingency & ideologization. It makes sense to refuse to adopt non-violence as a principle. The opposite—adoption of violence as principle—is ridiculous because it elevates pragmatism & contingency and ideologizes this as principle.

Cycling between “you don't have to do everything” versus the “kung hindi ako, sino? kung hindi ngayon, kailan pa?”

I think it's important to keep in mind that, in every liberatory struggle, there will always be people shouting from your corner who earnestly believe that if we abolish an injustice, we will need another injustice to replace it.

White ass kanos keep talking about how “this isn't normal” but theirs is precisely the normalcy that the United States of America has imposed upon the whole world for decades or, and in some countries like the Philippines, for more than a century. This is precisely normalcy.

2016 was a major turning point for many.

Once again periodically reminding the world that Turkey and Israel should fuck off from Syria, and stop murderings civilians and creating conflicts for their own genocidal and political interests.

Still thinking about how Bayan cadres did illegal direct action at the start of September, broadly supported by the left, but when informally organized urban youth did illegal action, there was a split reaction with some prominent NatDems condemning and copjacketing them. Why?

Don't hostile quote me first if you don't want to be hostile quoted back. But seriously, Marxistas would hate Lenin for all the wrong reasons had he been alive today.

My man Ronald Reagan was president then

80 years ago? Bitch this was just over a year ago that they stole my friend's baby based off some bullshit test and told her to her face the test was to see if she was "civilized enough"

If February 1917 happened today, Marxists would refuse to support because conditions aren't ripe, reaction would be worse, German and Allied infiltrators are everywhere, there's no theoretical clarity, German and allied propaganda is moralizing, bloodthirsty, and nihilist… Which side are you on?

“German, American, and British actors are infiltrating the revolution in Russia, so we shouldn't support! Look at this German agent Lenin that the Kaiser is funding to return!” Amazing logic by Marxists today.

“Are the workers of 1917 Marxist? No? No support.”—Something Bolsheviks should have said according to the logic of Marxists today. As if lack of ideological clarity is a failure instead of a calling to intervene!

Do you think ANY revolutionary in the past 500 years shouldn't revolt because it would be worse when they lose? Would you not support 1917 because there were German infiltrators? Are we doing ideology purity testing now but make it antiïmperialist? Our demands are most moderate: the whole world.

People are in motion, everywhere. Are you?

The Hawaiian Kingdom on this day in 1893 was overthrown in a coup d'état against Queen Liliʻuokalani on Oahu. anticolonialhistory.com/event/13/

We are forced to depend on the imposition of normalcy by the party of order for the reproduction of our daily life—food, commodities, residence, safety, healthcare. The breaking of this dependency is insurrection and revolution.

patriotism was invented to keep french people in the army and paying taxes after they murdered their god king, which gave rich american revolutionaries big boners.

i weirdly understand Nietzsche more when i have a rager of a migraine.

We tried to explain that criminalization is the fuel of fascism.

Need a moment of joy? I just had (another) conversation with my 4yo about ICE today. She jumped up and said she needed to read me a book. It was this one. She read the whole thing to me out loud. (cc: @prisonculture.bsky.social)

January 18 will mark three years since Georgia State Patrolmen murdered Manuel Teran, known to fellow forest defenders as Tortuguita, in Weelaunee Forest. People around the world will observe the Day of the Forest Defender with events. Some of those are listed here: crimethinc.com/ForestDefend...

"...revolutionary politics are necessarily illegal. You can’t defeat the ruling system by abiding its laws."—Ralf Reinders, 2 June Movement

It has literally always been like this. China isn't a real place with actual people, problems, or agency... Rather, it's just a mystical funhouse mirror of 2d tropes for [your civilization here] to reflect upon itself though. Same as it ever was.

Don't care about Z. Mamdani. He's not the savior of the political left globally, but I guess I'm simply not part of the *political* left, rather the ANTI-POLITICAL left

Monogamy? In this economy? Getting my metaämor to immigrate to the Philippines and live with us after we get married sounds great tbh. You heard of DINK (double income no kids). Let's see TINK (triple income no kids).

Hope everyone is getting by 💜

When trying to learn about a struggle or context, what came before can be daunting to get an understanding of. With Myanmar @edithmirante.bsky.social work has really helped me learn more, that I maybe wouldnt have got to otherwise. Very grateful to have been able to get a copy of her new book. 1/

Shostakovich's Piano Trio No. 2. Composed to confront the horrors perpetrated by Nazis. The final movement, the “Dance of Death” is influenced by stories of SS guards at the death camps of Treblinka and Majdanek forcing Jewish prisoners to dig and dance on their own graves. youtu.be/5dBO7Bl44fk?...
