Wine is probably the grossest category of alcoholic beverage I've ever consumed

If you write an appropriately-detailed theoretical work that upholds the correct line on your bullet casings is it still ultraleft adventurism?

Earlier this month, three trans women were beaten by a group of young men in Seattle's gay neighborhood. According to the county prosecutor's office, there's been at least four more group beatings since June 2024. In one case, strangers joined in. The kicker? www.thestranger.com/news/2025/09...

“We’ve had enough words, it’s time for Bolivar’s sword of liberty or death,” said the president, stressing that “they will not just bomb Gaza, not just the Caribbean as they are doing already, but all of humanity that demands freedom.”

NEW: Six people detained in California’s newest + largest ICE facility speak out, saying they are confined in filthy cells, struggling to access basic medications, going hungry due to insufficient food, drinking dirty water, and faced with “military-like” staff. “This place is built to break us”

Workers in Dallas are joined at their rally by allies from major orgs and unions - all committed to not crossing a picket line in the event of a strike. No contract? NO COFFEE 🗣️✊

"[A] feminist and anti-racist visionary." Assata Shakur: "It is our duty to fight for our freedom. It is our duty to win. We must love each other and support each other. We have nothing to lose but our chains." #NewJersey #NewYork #USA #Cuba #Policing #Incarceration

"I advocate self-determination for my people and for all oppressed inside" America. "I advocate an end to capitalist exploitation, the abolition of racist policies, the eradication of sexism." "If that is a crime, then I am totally guilty." #NewJersey #NewYork #USA #Cuba #Policing #Incarceration

Today, 100s peacefully gathered outside the ICE detention facility in Broadview, IL—only to be met with violence. At one point, agents shot tear gas into the crowd, with young children visible and present. @sarahlazare.bsky.social reports with 📷 by Isaac Silver

I spent the week at the police surveillance convention and let me tell you my biggest observation: The name of the game now is consolidating as much information as humanely possible from surveillance devices, the internet, other governmental data, and literally a million other places. 🧵

“Those striking at the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) processing center set up at Angola’s former Camp J are demanding access to medical and mental health care – including prescription medications.” www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

The moment I remember most from the 2016 election was Chris Christie's speech at the RNC, specifically the bit where he ripped into Obama for normalizing with the Cuba that gave asylum to a "convicted cop killer." Eat your heart out, pig, she died without chains

Assata teaches us the value and the meaning of revolutionary commitment. Assata reminds us that Afro-America is the Achilles' Heel of US imperialism. If we don't understand this then we have learned nothing and will achieve nothing

"They had many of the same problems we had: education, organising the people to struggle and raising consciousness. They damn sure had the same enemy, and they were doing as bad as we were, if not worse." Assasta Shakur on the re-occupation of Alcatraz by the Indians of All Tribes in 1969-71

Assata Shakur. Glory for ever.

Assata speaks... youtu.be/rfXGIS3EKxs?...

“A country in denial. Anyway, I was born…” — Assata Shakur 🤎

Assata died as an elder, living in freedom, not a captive. That's the beauty.

Rest in power Assata Shakur, you died a free woman and of old age; a defiant maroon and an inspiration to millions.

Assata Shakur joins the ancestors a free woman. She did not die bound by the carceral system and she did not pass away living in a land that never respected or accepted her. Assata taught us that liberation can not be bargained for, it must be taken. Rest Free, Assata.

She died free. Exiled from her homeland and her nation, but free. Long live Assata Shakur and long live the Black Liberation Army, past, present, and future 🟥🟥🟥🟥 ⬛️⬛️⬛️⬛️ 🟩🟩🟩🟩

Latest update from the Global Sumud Flotilla as it continues sailing towards Gaza to break the Israeli siege.

BREAKING: Israeli warplanes just bombed Fahmi Al-Jarjawi School, which shelters displaced families, in the Al-Daraj neighborhood of Gaza City. Israel committing more war crimes in front of the world. Silence. Silence.

8 months into the admin and Brandenberg v. Ohio is dead

Can't say that I'm a fan of the ravenous id of settler amerikkka, personally, even if it's represented by a funny drunk

#tdih 1961, Herbert Lee, a farmer who worked w/Bob Moses of SNCC @sncclegacy.bsky.social to help register Black voters, was killed in broad daylight by a state legislator (Hurst) in Liberty, Miss. 💔 Hurst was acquitted by coroner’s jury on same day. #terrorism🧵 www.zinnedproject.org/news/tdih/he...

Honestly as someone still representing those kids, it's depressing how everyone forgot about them. I say this a lot, but the lesson from those protests from the American left writ large was "if you protest and get arrested, you're on your own."

it isn't that people do not mobilize - often, they do! historically, indigenous sovereignty, black liberation movements, & internationalist youths. the problem more so is that every other segment quickly tries to abandon or contain them. one of the most amorphous deradicalization systems in history

"We are not here to drop the aid and go home and pat ourselves on the back. We are here to establish a humanitarian corridor for states themselves to assume their responsibilities."

"Our opposition and upset over Jimmy Kimmel being taken off air have led to Kimmel coming back. Let's organize that much noise for reporters like Mario Guevara detained (despite being here legally) for filming police and ICE." www.commondreams.org/news/mario-g...

JUST IN: A new class action lawsuit challenges ICE's warrantless immigration arrests in Washington, D.C., which they say are occuring without probable cause and based largely on perceived ethnicity. www.documentcloud.org/documents/26...

I also can't stress enough that, between the mainstream media environment and online spaces where mass shooters are idolized, there is no better way to go from some jagoff everyone hates to a legendary figure than doing a shooting. I don't know what this kid believed, but I'd bet this was part of it

Type of day where you wish you had a root canal instead

⚡️New from Drop Site: We Tried to Stay in Gaza City. There Are No Longer Any Means of Sustaining Life. Journalist Rasha Abou Jalal (@rasha-abou-jalal.bsky.social) documents her family’s forced displacement from Gaza City as Israeli forces bear down. www.dropsitenews.com/p/gaza-city-...

It's almost as if, before the Gaza famine was officially recognised, it was a story, as media organisations could generate controversy by hosting Israeli government spokespeople and our own rightwing blowhards, insisting it was all a fabrication. Now that it can no longer be denied ... no story.

Teacher's pet and my teacher is Lenin :-)

I consider myself politically polyamorous. I'm not really into pursuing and maintaining multiple intimate relationships like that but any romantic jealousy in my heart has been negated by my commitment to the monumental historical task of abolishing heterosexual relations

everything alive is being killed and no one notices anymore

Don't wait until problems pile up and cause a lot of trouble before trying to solve them. Leaders must march ahead of the movement, not lag behind it.
