It’s so funny that we never bothered to make different terms for “pro-socially wearing a mask to prevent the spread of disease” and “anti-socially hiding your face because you know what you’re doing is violence.” “ICE won’t be masked up in the airports!” Yeah, cops never mask oh wait

It’s as easy as shutting your effin mouth! And did I mention… it’s free?!

Why is it so seismic for the Covid inquiry to state this week that ‘Covid is airborne’? 1. It means that we never had the correct advice to protect ourselves and still don’t! Covid hasn’t stopped being airborne. 2. It means so much could have been prevented. 3. It means healthcare has been …

Oh they can't be sane because they're violent! Now look closely at that. This is the rule of sanity. It is the rule of violence. It is violence as our norm. Now you know madness is not the negative value.

We should not forget that Ta-Nehisi Coates gave a far better answer to the "right to exist [as a Jewish state]" question than Tucker Carlson. The issue isn't that Tucker is the only one who will say it, but that the American commentariat ices out left-liberal, and often nonwhite, people who say it.

Watched "Silent Rage" last night to remind myself that Chuck Norris had all the charisma and sex appeal of a raw potato with the skin on.

I don’t see eugenics as just a movement behind us in history at all, how could I think that as a survivor of psych incarceration where I was a victim of ableist brutality? How can anyone who sees RFK in charge working to eliminate neurodivergent people & all who can’t survive dangerous pathogens?

Because not everyone has been to Central Park, quantifying this matters. I've already seen a "size of a football stadium" comparison and unless they're wildly overbuilt that's not even close. Central Park is allegedly 843 acres. The size of one regulation NFL field is just over an acre.

time and time again, liberalism gives way to fascism. why does this happen? @jasonhickel.bsky.social explains:

The US president can kill whoever they want and bomb any country they want as long as: 1. The economy doesn't slump. 2. Upper middle class people arent having their kids being killed in combat. Americans really dont give af about what the military is being used for.

We may justifiably say that #Israel is on a trajectory of uncontrolled aggression that is so destructive and destabilizing that it spells catastrophe. However, we must recognize as well that US imperialism is now following the same path. #Lebanon

If you need to pay the government to vote (like specific ID), it’s a poll tax by another name.

just a helpful hint to all you university administrators getting some bad press out there: this is what many zoomers see when they look at college now. if you don’t want to keep bleeding money, maybe consider not oppressing the constitutional rights of your faculty, staff, and students.

fucking ridiculous what kind of mental hoops people will go through to defend the most absurd stuff imaginable

For example, the U.S.-Israel relationship, IMO, is better explained as interest convergence than x controls y or vice versa.

You could say that Rock n Roll was born 111 years ago today in Arkansas, but probably not where you'd think. Before there was a Chuck Berry or Little Richard, there was those who wanted to be like her. Rosetta Nubin better known as Sister Rosetta Tharpe, the godmother of Rock was born on this day

Really need politicians and media to stop using the word "homeland". You can just say "our country" like a normal fucking person and not idk a fascist weirdo. Should've broken up DHS long ago.

Eid Mubarak! May your life be filled with happiness, peace, blessings and liberation!!

Wealth inequality and democracy are incompatible. This basic fact should be known by children and adults. Instead the right has spent the last several decades taking over mass media and the messaging has convinced people that government should be "run like a business" for profit, not public utility.

He's managed to be the most powerful and most impotent POTUS in history. His impulsive violence and boundless greed is a sign of weakness.

"Capitalism requires inequality and racism enshrines it." -Ruth Wilson Gilmore

Eating lemon pound cake as I sit on my metal folding chair.

Dolores Huerta worked side by side with her rapist to advance a cause. She knew him as a man who deeply hurt her but put it aside. It's incredible commitment. Think also that she's a woman her 90s coming out as a survivor. Think how hard it is for older women with how they were raised to come out.

It used to be that I didn’t name my rapist for the same reason Dolores Huerta kept quiet: I felt responsible to the minority community we are both members of Now I do it to protect myself but whew when I wrote this a few hours ago I did not know how triggering today was gonna be

hey so we're about to see mass food shortages. these people in power need to go sooner than you can vote on this. societies need to plan accordingly and it will require a necessary level of violence to stop these omnicidal freaks from killing everyone!

Imagine an antifascist opposition party with Mamdani's message discipline and media team.

White supremacist capitalist patriarchy stays the dominant paradigm not only because of past atrocities (eg. profits, from sales of slaves, used to build ivy league universities etc.) but also active ongoing theft and exploitation.

This is your regular reminder that a well fitted respirator like an N95 offers superior protection compared to a surgical mask. They can block covid, flu, rsv and more. They protect you and those around you. Can’t afford one? Check out a mask bloc! If you can afford it, please donate!

it’s incredibly blackpilling to me that it takes rising gas prices and rising gas prices alone to have people turn against the war in iran, and not the american government murdering thousands of children and civilians in iran. americans are incredibly selfish

Holy fucking shit.

Fascism relies on people being gullible and not believing that fascists would do xyz because it would be "illegal", so then they do xyz and dare people to stop them.

“A revolutionary class in a reactionary war cannot but desire the defeat of its government” ~ Lenin (The Defeat of One’s Own Government in the Imperialist War, 1915)

This problem -- the RW takeover of media -- is like fucking Voldemort or something. He Who Cannot Be Named. People seem to think they'll burst into flame if they discuss it. It's baffling. I've accepted that I'm going to live & die without ever understanding why this is.

History shows us that when you're on the business end of asymmetric warfare, you're not likely to win by battling the aggressor head-on. You have to make the cost of continuing warfare too high.

Struggles for liberation require sacrifice, but they should never require sacrificing the most vulnerable and disenfranchised members of the oppressed. There are struggles within struggles. I feel so sorry for the suffering of Dolores Huerta and others hurt by Chavez.

Dolores Huerta😢 Painful truths about civil rights: 1) The most successful civil rights movements in US history were led by Black and brown women 2) But Black and brown men received the lion share of credit for the movements that women lead 3) Some of the men leaders, preyed on the women leaders

People shouldn't feel bad about previously admiring someone when they didn't know about the terrible harms that person committed, but we should challenge ourselves to consider how pedestalizing and prioritizing the legacies of charismatic leaders can create harmful dynamics. That can be addressed.

It's a fucking nightmare: bsky.app/profile/lata...

I read the NYT piece, and I am holding onto the words of a woman who fended off inappropriate advances from a 60-year-old Cesar Chavez at the age of 19. “It makes you rethink in history all those heroes,” Esmeralda Lopez said. “The movement — that’s the hero.”

Where's the Downfall meme, Strait of Hormuz edition?

“We lived in a revolutionary culture, let me emphasize, one that distinguished revolutionary demands from merely reformist ones, and one that thought in terms of the insurrectionary overthrow of capitalism, not its improvement.” – Murray Bookchin, ‘Anarchism, Marxism, and the Future of the Left’

I hate waking up every day in a country where pro-Israel groups influence U.S. politics while both countries are committing genocide. Fuck Zionism. Fuck Israel. Free Palestine 🇵🇸 and Syria and Lebanon and Iran and Iraq and Jordan and Egypt from the settler colonial nightmare

We'd be in real trouble if fascism dealt with real problems instead of spectacular violence and AI-generated symbolic payoffs for their base. If only there were an antifascist opposition party that was dedicated to a positive politics that dealt with real problems instead of 'more of the same'.

To all of our supporters, donors, and volunteers, I can’t thank you enough. You are the reason we came so far and defied every expectation. Get some rest. We’ll get back to work in the morning. And as always, Fuck Trump. Fuck ICE. Free Palestine.

HOULAHAN: Will you commit that the DoD will not deploy military personnel at polling places? HUMIRE: I reserve decisions based on the president Q: Would you do that unlawful act? HUMIRE: It would go through the same review process as every request we get from the WH Q: There's already a law
