the problem with an untrained secret police squad that shoots people in their cars isn’t that they’re untrained

Watching this family in a standoff with ICE over a delivery worker taking refuge in their house. I’m reminded that our job as organizers - all the education & policy & skills & political home we offer - is for THIS. To help everyday people find the courage and commitment to face fascism and win:

See you later today!! As the US escalates its attacks in international waters under the cover of a 'war on drugs', we see echoes with the mass killings of drug users by Duterte in the Philippines. What can we learn from Filipinx organizers about resistance?

Thrilled to be cohosting this with @dreanyc123.bsky.social next week! Revisiting our comrades in the Philippines to talk about strategies for resisting criminalization and surviving authoritarianism. Join us on Tuesday at 5 pm PST.

I am thrilled--always--when people take to the streets en masse. It demonstrates power, it imposes costs, it is great. But if the past decades have taught us anything--that's not enough to win. To win, you have to organize. You have to build structures of power that last after people go home.

great news! for those who feared we were doing less to resist Trump in round 2 than in round 1, we've got solid evidence to the contrary. maybe it's the skewed mainstream media coverage (media kissing the ring) that got us thinking that way?

BREAKING: Federal agents in plain clothes and unmarked cars tried to snatch 1st graders from LA elementary schools—told staff they had “parental consent.” They lied. When pressed, they HID THEIR IDS. DHS admits they sent them. This wasn’t a welfare check. It was a test run for a police state.

So excited to cohost this with @dreanyc123.bsky.social next Wednesday!

🎙️We are so excited about this new podcast documenting oral histories of transformative justice! Check out @storiesforpower.bsky.social podcast for a journey across local communities that explores the last 25 years of building community accountability, transformative justice and abolitionist practice

I've been trying to bridge the horizontalist abolition feminism tradition I grew up in with all the powerbuilding I've witnessed in verticalist community & labor & tenant organizing. I'm studying the hybrids in the middle, and if you're curious too, come join this conversation about my research!

i was also feeling worried after inauguration when the streets (and signal) felt quiet, but my hope that resistance was getting savvier the second time around found some evidence this week in @chenoweth.bsky.social & crew's new article. /1 wagingnonviolence.org/2025/03/resi...

So excited to co-host this conversation on Wednesday with abolitionist comrades from Argentina! My current favorite slogan from Argentine protests against Milei's authoritarianism, which rhymes with Trump's: "There are only two genders: fascist and antifascist"

Some friends of mine were doing Springo boards, I thought it was a great idea, here is mine.

“It will always remain one of democracy’s best punchlines: that to its mortal enemies, democracy itself provided the very means through which it was annihilated.” - Joseph Goebbels, "The Stupidity of Democracy" from "The Attack. Essays from the Times of Struggle"

if we are all going to be forced to relive 2016, they should at the very least let us see mad max fury road in theaters again

It's rare you get such a clear illustration of whose lives have value in America and whose don't
