I hope Adin Ross is somewhere coping and seething right now. Love Doechii ❤️

A new report about a "secret" and "unprecedented" deal between Donald Trump and a "spy Sheikh" has analysts concerned.

Next time someone asks you about energy and land use, maybe remind them that the ~35 million acres that currently grow corn for ethanol in the US could produce ~15 PWh per year of electricity from solar photovoltaics. That's ~3.5 times more than *total annual generation from all US power plants*.

Springfield Ohio is uniting and preparing. Across the state, the nation, ICE resistors are reaching out to support us. Don't let fear mongers or reddit groups tell you otherwise. The people united will never be divided. Reach out. We gon be alright.

Response to a post by a "March for Billionaires" account saying Billionaires aren't to blame for poverty because the DRC doesn’t have Billionaires, ignoring all the Billionaires that have exploited the DRC. You can't make this shit up.

Movement music. It's bigger than hip-hop.

ICE doxxing is working. They know that this operation can only thrive in anonymity.

“Antifa is not an organization. Antifascism is a natural response to state terror. Antifascist action belongs to the people. Anyone can do it... Every day this goes on, DHS creates thousands of new antifascists.”—Riley (an anonymous antifascist researcher)

I want to emphasize that these Democratic victories in these special elections may not reflect voters actual support for Democrats, but dissatisfaction with the current ruling class. Approval rating for Dem party seems to confirm this. There is legit energy on the ground that wants change!

"Democracy is not just a system of government. It is a way of thinking, of arguing, of living together. It rests on habits of mind — about truth, responsibility, evidence, dissent, and the limits of power. Once those habits are degraded, they are not easily restored."

Eventually, resistance tactics will have to target the tech industry, especially AI. Trump's entire economy is making a bet on AI. The economic fundamentals are shit, the companies are all propping eachother up. We need to unplug from these people and crash Trump in the process.

"Our data provide clear evidence that Resistance 2.0 will continue to get more confrontational." "The fact that Resistance 2.0 is expanding its tactics gives me hope. Americans are finding their voices and their power to push back against burgeoning autocracy."

"Part of having something in the realm of possibility is knowing that it has happened there before.”

"Queerness is the way in which a dandelion will find a way to sprout and spring life and bloom in the middle of a concrete sidewalk. Queerness is the way in which a tree will bend this way and that way to find light. Queerness to me is not survival of the fittest and the strongest."

it's maybe telling how quickly class consciousness is coming back to Americans once the mask of ideology starts to slip; I think the last 40 years of liberalism will look like a weird blip in the future

This is what is required to sustain and escalate the fight we’re in. One day marches are powerful for showing the scale of potential force we have. But that force is only exercised when we get embedded in long term organizing and take the fight to bosses, landlords, and the state.

"Antifa’s use of this tactic, I found, was often successful, helping destroy multiple fascist or “alt-right” groups during Donald Trump’s first term in office, and beyond."

Makes me think of this excellent video by @andrewsage.bsky.social on library economies and how the model of the library can be applied to other things.

"A virtual power plant is a collection of devices—home batteries, electric water heaters and vehicles, solar panels—connected to each other and to the grid. Combined, these multiple small energy sources form a network that acts as a power plant, supplying electricity to the grid when demand surges."

"Whether one accepts the presence of spirits in fig trees is beside the point. What matters is that a forest has been spared, repeatedly, because cutting certain trees felt like crossing a line. In a world searching for ways to protect what remains, that line deserves attention."

“There’s no single answer that will solve all our future problems. There’s no magic bullet. Instead there are thousands of answers—at least. You can be one of them if you choose to be.” ― Octavia E. Butler, A Few Rules for Predicting the Future: An Essay

We are living through the most honest period of American history. America is no longer pretending to not be racist, violent, and sociopathic. Armed with that truth, we have the knowledge to create a new world. My latest.

The Epstein emails should really end the debate over whether society should have billionaires. "Do you want there to be a class of people so powerful they can fuck your kids and no one will even try to do anything" seems like an easy sell if everyone in politics wasn't trying to get on their payroll

The “forefathers” of America didn’t call us “Merciless Indian Savages” in the Declaration of Independence for nothing. Your leaders — all of your presidents — have been doing what’s in those Epstein Files to Native people here since day ONE. It’s the original “Every accusation is a confession.”

The former? Checks out. The latter? Sheesh

"The largest immigrant deportation and prison contractors in the US are expecting an epic payout this year: for every $1 that they donated to GOP campaigns in 2024, these private companies stand to reap more than $11,000 in increased annual revenue."

insisting on calling every mass day of protest or one-day boycott a "general strike" is not the move. it's good to see people rallying around the cause, it matters, but if you want to be part of a large-scale labor action that shuts down the gears of capital, start by unionizing your workplace!!!

Minnesota is showing us the way.

Rap politics? The idea came from a fun thought exercise, taking the debate around the Big 3 and applying Hegelian dialectics. I also look at rap battles, ciphers, and the potential for lyrical competition as a form of Democratic feedback in music.

Bend the money to bend Trump.

We've updated an old poster of ours to support the strikes against ICE. "Our best protection from fascism is that they depend on us to keep their society running. WHEN THE SHOOTING STARTS, AMERICA STOPS." Shut it all down! crimethinc.com/posters/stop... Continute below to see the old poster. 🧵⬇️

The less faith people have in politics, the more they will take into their own hands. When that happens, no one is safe.

No one makes a better case in the public for class warfare than Trump. He is a walking propaganda tool for the left. He makes the case for us. Just let him cook really.

"History suggests that when mass strikes come, they rarely announce themselves in advance. They arrive when enough people have practiced refusing — together — and suddenly discover they no longer have to ask."

The people have to push Mamdani and organize the kind of power that is capable of taking on the NYPD. There is no other way around this. Elected leaders can do a lot of things alone, but only organized movements of people move history.

Movements need to be force multipliers for other movements. I see people on this app looking down on the No Kings protest coming up in March, acting like these aren't opportunities to network, organize, and usher people showing up at these into more desirable actions.

I am happy for people in Maine if this is true. ALSO, this suggests that the administration is unleashing ICE in blue cities and states as punishment for political reasons. Collins is up for re-election and they need her to keep their control of the Senate. This is GROTESQUE.

"When it comes to actually defending your community, you should not be looking to some talking head on TV. You should be gathering community with your neighbors and figuring it out yourself, because nobody’s going to save you but you."

Without fail, organized Capital will always play both sides of a civil war. Eliminating them doesn't eliminate white supremacy, but we still need to eat them.

Ilhan Omar should consider running for Minnesota governor. The prospect of Amy Klobuchar makes me want to vomit 🤢.

Without qualifying by sector, economic growth is just a measure of GDP. If, like in the US, economic growth is predicated on a sector (AI) being overvalued and inflated, due to companies propping up one another, while Democracy is clearly faltering, I would question this premise.

Rent freezes needed to happen before fascist militias started terrorizing people but it's no coincidence social crises are force multipliers for other social crises. Late stage capitalism has no answer for a polycrisis.

Ideal leaders rarely ever show up, but when the actual leaders appear, we need to be ready to acknowledge them. We also need to be ready to "kill" them. Symbolically of course, but good leadership should always raise the collective standards. If that principle is violated, the leader needs to go.

It's been pointed out numerous times already, but this is incredibly poor communication, especially on a topic (climate science) that is already poorly communicated. While I see it as a (somewhat) poetic way to discuss radiative imbalance, this will come off as gibberish to a lot of people.

Ilhan Omar is infinitely tougher than any man child Nazi in MAGA. But I would be remiss if I didn't mention that over the years, her own party egged on hatred towards her and even joined in the dog piling, like the time she told the truth about AIPAC and they voted for a resolution condemning her.

Ilhan Omar has more courage in her little pinky than the entire Democratic Party leadership has. And the party has repeatedly thrown her to the wolves over the years because she speaks the truth. And who was around her caring for her after this attack? BLACK WOMEN. So protect them all.

Right now organized labor in this country is weak compared to it's heights pre Great Depression. Yet people in Minnesota organized a one day general strike that resulted in Trump backing down. Now imagine what could happen if we passed the PRO Act.

As a born Clevelander, this warms my heart.

Direct democracy doesn't have to involve daily street skirmishes with fascists, but it should involve consistent participation in your local council meetings or various community assemblies. Ideally, society would be constructed in ways that would incentivize consistent democratic participation.
