this is true for mayors too. between wildcat strikes, manipulating data, and maybe kidnapping your kid, the cops have all the leverage.

Solidarity with people of all species, toward a deeper and more diversely connected, resilient, empathetic, and abundant biosphere.

"Socialist" reformers are idealists invested in a benevolent capitalism, shepherded in part by benevolent nationstates recognizable as the USA, UK, Russian Federation, & Israel. We know a liveable future requires us to compost those systems and grow something new. We are revolutionary pragmatists.

What the US is doing to Cuba is more than a humanitarian crisis. It is a genocide as defined by the United Nations. www.un.org/en/genocide-...

Real resistance led by workers.

let this be a message to Americans who join the military. the GOP will campaign on your death and use their power to delete your existence from the history books once it becomes inconvenient.

Every golf course an agroecological cruising ground, every data center an aquaponic bathhouse. Recharge our aquifers, restore our ecology, and revolutionize our relationship to the land and each other. This is the future of ecosocialist queer liberation.

The ecosystem we deprived of SMCBs is all the more fragile and in need of more intensive protection and restoration in their abscence. Endlings are usually proximate, the real last of the last disappearing unseen. We may still be able to avoid that fate. We must try. appliedeco.org/sowing-the-s...

Hate speech against marginalized people is violence. It causes measurable physical and social harm to the folks being threatened by it. Comrades acting to stop someone weaponizing it is self-defense, and should be treated as such. Don't criminalize hate-speech; just decriminalize the response.

yes. correct.

Fascists succeed in general because they are willing to take stuff, break rules, get violent, while most of their opponents are not Fascists lose, in general, because they pick (at least) one fight too many with someone they didn't expect to fight back

i can't stress enough that dems understand power perfectly and the disconnect comes from the widespread and increasingly unjustifiable belief that these two parties are seperate rival teams, rather than the offensive and defensive squads of a single one.

We need to push through density maximalism *alone* - and especially privatized deregulation and supply-side market-based strategies for housing- and focus on ecological habitability for all residents of our cities, regardless of class, gender, race, culture, citizenship, or species.

Since Clinton started going after "Welfare Queens", we have seen accelerated collapse of that coalition. As racist owning-class collaboration by the state-sanctioned duopoly parties becomes impossible to ignore, our challenge is to stay engaged and outraged, and focus on revolution, not resignation.

The mountains of Myanmar, beautiful, bountiful, terrain that has protected some of the ethnic resistance groups for decades. Threatened by explotation. Edith in her latest #WhatsHappeningInMyanmar history thread gives a great overview of the part mountains have played in Myanmar's past & present.

“A revolutionary ecology movement must also organize among poor and working people. For it is the working people who have their hands on the machinery. And only by stopping the machinery of destruction can we ever hope to stop this madness.” ― Judi Bari This machinery includes unpaid Gender Labor!

five reasons to donate Green 1. our party is powered by the people 2. we uplift communities 3. the green party supports tax and campaign finance reform 4. you’d be funding the future of America 5. it would really upset your estranged dad.

There are millions of bigoted sacks of shit that believe transitioning could and should be called sexual violence or worse. Letting these sites push the overton window further right gets us closer to more and worse harm being done to REAL PEOPLE. This isn't a slippery slope, this is how it works

nuremberg 2.0 needs to end with the assets of all those guards seized and handed over to their victims

As with the lawsuit by forced-borth activists over Oregon's healthcare protections, either regulations apply equally to religious organizations, or... ~regulations are optional based on Sincerely Held Beliefs. ~we have state-preferred religions. ~women, children, and queers aren't equal citizens.

Setting aside Natalists' revealing insistence on impregnating children, a lower birthrate increases our capacity to provide for our vulnerable neighbors while welcoming migrants and refugees. This allows exactly the kind of productive recombination that sexual reproduction evolved for to begin with.

Are you referring to the cover of this report? The Climate Collapse Industry is bipartisan. Duopoly problems require non-duopoly solutions, and crises that we have failed to fix through electoral reform require solutions that go beyond electoralism or reform.

All Cascadian buildings with over 10k sq ft parking lot or rooftop that isn't being used to supply food or shelter to human or nonhuman people, should be required to be carbon negative, net producers of both renewable energy and clean groundwater, and useful habitat for native wildlife.

There has never been a more important time for global ecosocialism. May every Green Party do what we can to empower our constituents, comrades, and accomplices inside and outside the electoral system, and grow this revolution in all of our own bioregions.

“Here is the seed of free life. I will work to help it grow, so that the children of the future can play freely under the trees of Kurdistan,” ~Haval Delal

In Washington State, we also have a network of right wing Christian nationalists who are funding most of these initiatives and policies we see that make our lives worse and drive up prices. Why? It benefits them. Who is the person who is linked to almost all of these right wing groups in WA?

Same goes for every "genius" academic or scholar.

A field progresses when it receives an influx of new theorists and technicians from a variety of backgrounds, experiences , and perspectives. They can see past the normative shadows all institutions cast over time, and if allowed, grow beyond them. This is just cutting off the ivy strangling a tree.

Despite having *just* passed new #ALPR legislation, #Washington doesn't top any categories. We missed a perfect opportunity for what should have been best in nation restrictions, so we'll need to come back stronger in the next #waleg session & continue to push back locally! #deflock #surveillance

Speaking of affordability and housing….

An excellent thread. The de-Orbánization of Hungary and the EU requires the same kind of total system change - with a truth-and -econciliation commission and mass prosecution of Fidesz's enforcers and enablers - that the USA will need to survive, and that the world needs to escape climate collapse.

Capitalism cannot create, it can only extract. It naturally leads to this Temu Cyberpunk Dystopia, where even its horrors are slop generated from other attempts to describe evil. We can perish alone in a hell generated for us from other hells, or rebel and live deliciously together in solidarity.

Contrary to public perception a huge % of pregnant teenagers in the 1990s were impregnated by adult men. The younger they were, the larger the average age gap between mother and father was. Fixing teen pregnancy was in part a clampdown on statutory rape. That's what conservatives want to reverse.

I'm one of those trans women. I worked ground ops for Artemis I. I am torn between celebrating the success of my friends and peers and grieving how my dream of working for NASA was shattered by hateful assholes in Tallahassee

FYI, Seattle.

Why we don't root for the Iranians in power, only their citizens.

I know it's late, but I need you all to realize that as soon as we started paying attention to these races, Moms for Liberty & their ilk, started losing. They exploited a window of apathy & did a lot of damage, but they just cannot win when actually opposed. No unopposed elections anywhere.

"What Iranians deserve is so ordinary is almost embarrassing to say aloud. They deserve not to spend their mornings calculating whether they will survive until evening. They deserve to be seen as people... not as acceptable losses, not as the unfortunate human context around a geopolitical problem."

"Schumer takes no action" will be on his tombstone

It's amazing how selectively and opportunisticly religions - and nations - deploy their founding narratives about oppressed folks moving across seas and surviving off of the love of their neighbors.

Amidst everything else, the Trump regime has quietly killed off the U.S. Forest Service 🌲 “One hundred and ninety-three million acres of your national forests… just handed, on a silver platter, to the people who’ve spent their entire careers trying to destroy it.” www.hatchmag.com/articles/tru...

Shut the fuck up

We cannot enable the pograms of the future while fighting the pogroms of the present. We have zero tolerance for acts of antisemitism among our comrades as the distractions they are from an ongoing genocide. Dismissing the harm of antisemitism creates discourse that waste time while people die.

It's so straightforward: Comrade in the group chat posts an antisemitic video that conflates Jews as puppet masters. Reply how the video is harmful to the cause, assuming they didn't know and without condemning the person. Usually the person goes "whoops my bad" and everyone keeps working together.

If someone defensively centers themselves in response to a socially harmful interaction they took part in, take them aside, Comrade to Comrade, and encourage them to accept their own humanity and capacity for growth, for the sake of our shared struggle. Revolution demands evolution from us all.

Ecofascist blood-and-soil narratives of people inherently - and exclusively- "belonging" to specific plots of land treat First Nations as endemic fauna and immigrants as invasive species. Indigeneity is conscious coevolution with a living world, a dynamic mutual relationship of culture and ecology.

While true, no meaningful justice comes from deporting *anyone* from their homes. Settler colonialism is fascistic not from the *presence* of settlers but their *power* over their neighors - what makes land redistribution just is not the removal of people from land but of unilateral control over it.
