broke: abolish ice woke: abolish DHS bespoke: abolish borders

if yall want a general strike you’re gonna have to start masking up—protecting each others health matters regardless, but all the moreso when insurance is tied to employment; what effective resistance allows infection to spread?

mfs posting "general strike now!" we can't even get you to stop supporting Amazon and Starbucks

The issue with ICE is not training, the issue with ICE is that it fundamentally should not exist. The violence is the purpose

Reminder The democrats are trying to pacify the growing rebellion of the people against fascism not stop fascism. Blue State and local police will be used to brutalize you while they claim you are a threat because they are more afraid of actually stopping fascism than stopping pushback to it.

begging people to stop assuming these people are part of the same social contract as us and thus don’t feel shame the way we want them to

Reminder that “Say her name” was developed specifically to call attention to murders of Black women

you cannot divorce policing from misogyny (and white supremacy and homophobia etc but misogyny seems most relevant to this particular killing)

It must be so sad to give up in advance. Couldn't be me.

hard to imagine a more cartoonishly evil series of events than “withdraws from international climate institutions the same week as invading another country for the express purpose of accessing their oil reserves”

We've removed the paywall from this guide so everyone can access it. 👇 Stay safe.

this is absolutely something our next mayor (hopefully @cmlewisgeorgew4.bsky.social) can and should do

If the murder of Renee Nicole Good makes you say “abolish ICE,” but the murder of George Floyd didn’t make you say “abolish cops,” ask yourself why and try to learn from it

A Black man named Keith Porter was shot and killed by an ICE officer on New Year’s Eve. Marimar Martinez was shot five times by an ICE officer in Chicago who went on to brag about leaving seven holes in her body. This is not new but it is expanding.

They paraded her corpse through the neighborhood afterwards. Just carried her “like a sack of potatoes” by her arms and legs. No stretcher. Every form of revenge I can imagine would be too good for these evil fucks.

btw even if they had released the Epstein files and reduced inflation and lowered costs etc invading a sovereign nation would be Bad

I’m a hater and it keeps me from being hateful. A hater is just a little mouthy bitch saying shit for effect until we get it out of our systems and then we can become normal. Hateful ppl bottle that shit up. Thats how we have so many angry Disney adults

People are going to try and lure you into debates about whether Maduro was a good guy or not and the thing is, it doesn’t matter for the purposes of discussing whether violent kidnappings and extrajudicial murders by the US government are ok. No, they aren’t! End of convo.

Screaming "wtf" and waiting for a spontaneous uprising is going to discourage you. There won't be a spontaneous uprising. That's just not where the people are at. Organize for the long term. Build community. Build resilience. Have a strategy for whatever corner of this thing you're working on.

The only difference between Putin and Maduro on one hand and Netanyahu and MBS on the other is which side of our weapons they're on. Please understand that. If you'll wield our weapons and give us your oil and resources, we'll protect you. Otherwise, we'll replace you with someone who will.

What if none of these things is a distraction from the other things and instead they're all just horrible things

would be cool if we had a functional opposition party rn

The issue is not just that this person should not wield the power to unilaterally make war, it’s that no one should have that power. Absolutely no one.

the white supremacist ethnic pogroms are here, it is already happening. it is only a question of how much we step up and organize to stop them.

I am very tired of claims that maskers or covid cautious people are all just antisocial weirdos who wanted an excuse to hide forever. Many of us had active, full social lives that we would still have - if you would agree to help make the environment safe. You won’t, so we’re trapped.

This Nazi passed a bill to imprison trans kids' parents two weeks ago.

I don’t mean to sound extreme, but I don’t think we should have torture camps for people with criminal records either.

just gonna say this again because it unfortunately has entered into my life as well, if you say this word to be flippant or funny or whatever, youre a piece of shit. thanks.

so instead of blaming airline companies for making flying miserable you’re punching down on disabled people?

The openly egenicist and eliminationist workdview of MAHA is a direct outgrowth of the bipartisan necropolitics and embrace of social Darwinism in the aftermath of the pandemic. The get back to work and anti mask movement was always a Trojan horse for eugenics based autogenocide.

“pro life”

The extreme attack on transgender youth we are witnessing from a governmental stage was enabled by The Atlantic and The New York Times.

and so is giving any of your hard-earned money to them

When I say making is anti-fascist, I do not mean in a hearts and flowers being a shining example of good in the world way. Breaking chains of disease transmission that can permanently disable someone is keeping people out of the reach of fascist. Excellent explainer below.

DC statehood now.

If Afghanistan and Iraq are any indication, soon we're going to start hearing from Very Serious People that we should keep our opposition to ourselves, that we should support our country and president during wartime. Fuck that. War with Venezuela is a moral atrocity. I'll be silent when I'm dead.

tomorrow! come listen to me ask @triofrancos.bsky.social about her brilliant new book!

The purpose of a system is what it does.

Ablism is one hell of a drug. You might get high on it now but you’ll have one hell of a crash (& endanger those around you). Disability is something everyone faces if they live long enough and the ongoing pandemic has sped up the time frame. LC is now the # 1 chronic illness in children.

it's good that people who work for ICE are being ostracized by their communities and confronted at their churches. that's actually what living in a society is

this but about mass shootings in the US: “Climate change will manifest as a series of disasters viewed through phones with footage that gets closer and closer to where you live until you’re the one filming it”

GIVE FOLKS CASH A lot of people panhandling use that money to get hotels or hostel beds. Give someone a $20 and they are well on their way to getting the amount they need to get inside for the night.

the DC policy apparatus had years of warning about the need to change its approach under these circumstances, and almost everyone has chosen to just carry on as usual and pretend it’s not happening

There are regulations that could actually hold the tech industry accountable for its inflammatory algorithms and predatory tactics, like comprehensive data privacy protections, but passing laws like KOSA, the SCREEN Act, repealing Secrion 230 etc will make passing that legislation that impossible

Every top expert in the field has reiterated over and over again that these social media bans and things like KOSA and the SCREEN Act only harm children and enact mass censorship and surveillance zeteo.com/p/social-med...

there is a certain condescension in the idea that “racism should be publicly unacceptable and come with consequences” is an attack on the “working class.”

White supremacy is the logical endpoint of class reductionism in a white supremacist society. If your politics are not actively and anti-racist, you’re going to uphold white supremacy A good socialist response would be “she should get fired, but that doesn’t cause her to starve or be homeless”
