Thank you Eugene Goodman for saving Democracy during the Capitol insurrection #January6th

Never forget.

Never forget. 🇺🇸

January 6th participant: You can't gaslight me. I was there. I saw the officers being pepper sprayed. I watched one of them fall down and hit his head and his back. So don't be telling me it wasn't violent. Don't come to me with that ever again.

“No room at the Inn” is a biblical reference about immigrants (Jesus’ parents) being turned away. Not the government. Way to go, Hilton! The 3rd Amendment protects private entities from having to house the government.

Some nationalisms are grounded in white supremacy. Others are grounded in vague ideas (based on myths if not outright lies) of an "American nation that does good in the world." The only way to undo the white supremacist variety is to reject nationalism as a basis for politics.

this is the ai-enabled apotheosis of the male gaze--crowdsourced gang rape of her visual representation

There are massive demonstrations against US military intervention in Venezuela. The US media is ignoring them while showing us images of support for it I’m no fan of Maduro and even less of the idea that national sovereignty works for people in Venezuela. However, we need a clear picture of reality

I wrote a nonfiction spy thriller about antifa. I think it’s really good, I’m proud of it, & it’d be extremely cool if a lot of people read it. Wanna write abt the book? Have me on your pod? Lmk! Otherwise preorder To Catch A Fascist now. In stores Feb 3 ❤️ www.simonandschuster.com/books/To-Cat...

100% We cannot succumb to the dominant narrative about criminals because the state can label anyone as a "criminal" anytime it wants. This is especially so for authoritarian regimes, which the US now clearly is Please stop saying: "but they're not criminals." It doesn't help but increases the harm

What in the Gestapo is going on in Grand Rapids? Watch this activist get arrested *mid-interview* for speaking out against U.S. action in Venezuela.

The state apparatus of the US has been reorganized to be Trump’s goon squad. Another step on the authoritarian road

We were warned SIX YEARS AGO

Still can’t shake the feeling that if freaking Garland had just indicted, charged, and successfully prosecuted Trump, the world would have been a better place - and a lot more people wouldn’t have died.

We are witnessing a sea-change in the form of state power. Trump is ushering in a dissolution of the postcolonial world order of nation-states. But it isn't a simple resurrection of imperial states. It is new: the anti-migrant politics of nation-states + "indirect" colonization. Seatbelts required

Trump's DOJ has sued 21 states and DC for access to complete voter files. If successful, it would gain access to a trove of private data that it could weaponize against voters in future elections The only law firm taking them on is Mark Elias's. Trump has silenced Big Law. 🙏 @democracydocket.com

2025 “A viceroy is a high-ranking official who governs a territory as the direct representative of a monarch, acting in their name with significant administrative and executive power, common in colonial empires like Spain's in the Americas or British India.”

Wannabe king appoints a viceroy. Fast forward to the past indeed.

Pretty cool www.bbc.com/news/article...

Why does it (apparently) feel good to ask Dems for things they can't possibly deliver on? Is it a way to distract from the fact that much of the shit that's happening is a result of deep, structural problems in this capitalist world system of nation-states? So we can pretend everything's OK?

What makes Trump's bombing of Venezuela especially cruel is we already know how his administration treats Venezuelans who are displaced. Here in Chicago, masked federal agents have been kidnapping them from the streets, abducting them from barbershops, hiring sites, their homes.

Worth pointing out that the last president of a Latin American nation-state who was tried and convicted of drug and weapons trafficking in the US - Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández - was pardoned by Trump less than a month ago.

BBC reports that the port at La Guaira in Venezuela is destroyed.

Congress is run by people who support Trump, so no impeachment Even so, the Dem leadership couldn’t motivate a kid to eat candy. And most of the anti-war protests are all about “defending national sovereignty.” We need a better and bigger fight where life comes before either profits or nations

This time, I hope the rallying cry is not “protect national sovereignty, cause national sovereignty don’t mean sh*t in this capitalist world of nation-states This isn’t a battle between “nations” It’s a battle across and against nations. We fight those who take our planet for their own selfish gain

@weeklyshowpodcast.bsky.social I was wondering if you repost this dog. Her name is MELIA, only 3.5 years old and at the shelter 843 days. Shes looking for a quiet adult only home. Cat friendly. No dogs. Town of Hempstead Animal Shelter (516) 785-5220 3320 Beltagh Avenue , Unit Wantagh, NY 11793

decided to go smell the rotten milk in the back of the Washington Post fridge... I don't even know what to say about this

Yella Americans... Especially those that seem to understand the laws and whatnot. Maybe don't waste your time saying "holy shit" online and instead organize yourselves, take it to the streets, protest to your representatives. I don't know, something other than looking at all this from your phones.

Bloody hell. What a disaster

Fascism is class warfare on behalf of the capitalist class. That’s why Trump is a fascist. He’s intent on destroying any alternatives to our being forced to work for lousy pay, dangerous working conditions, and abusive employers. Fascists divide us so the rich can rake in more $$.

Another great episode of my favorite podcast! “Rex Osa and Aino Korvensyrjä about what it means to be in solidarity with people who self-organize against encampment, isolation, and deportation.” Migrantized people acts up-end this world capitalist system of nation-states. Let’s listen and learn

More than a few people have been talking about wanting to "go back" to 2015, before the Trump era. So I wrote a highly self-indulgent thing about what 2015 was like and how the last decade happened. humaniterations.net/2025/12/30/2...

Lawrence County Jail is located in Deadwood, South Dakota. Immigration and Customs Enforcement currently detains a person at this facility for an average of 31 days. detentionreports.com/facility/LAW...

Trump and the GOP are obviously not vying for votes for 2026 or 2028. This can only mean one thing: They intend to commit election fraud.

She should have told ICE the baby was an illegal alien. By the way the woman in the article lost her baby. www.foxnews.com/us/minneapol...

We’re not talking enough about the links between fascists + capitalists. It’s not just about profits but about strengthening the hand of capital and weakening workers Cutting childcare subsidies b/c of a random YouTuber achieves the goal of removing social support systems. Ditto ACA subsidies. Etc

Social Security is our money that we put aside for retirement. It does not belong to Congress.

The wars always come "home." “Next year, we are looking forward to a power outage so that we can take a break from the harmful light of electric bulbs and sit by candlelight, like in the good old days.”

Yes!

Happy New Year! Keep playing everybody (card by @coachfinstock.bsky.social)

When we say the Trump regime is white supremacist, we must acknowledge their end goal: to eliminate those of us who aren't white (or white enough, or loyal enough, or whatever else enough) All fascist projects are about "purifying" the "nation" to distract us from the actions of the robber barons

Remember after WWII, when people worked to delegitimize racism - and largely made it socially repugnant? (Not the same as ending racism, but still important) Today's fascists are trying to upend this gain by making openly racist/nationalist statements publicly legit again We must defeat them again

Celebrate our win! And let us use that good energy to keep going until we rid ourselves of Trump - and then of the rot in the capitalist world system of nation-states!

unvarnished gutter racism and Nazism from the president. a disgrace to our country.

It passed unanimously. Override the veto.

Here a novel idea, let’s let the survivors redact the Epstein files.
