It is the duty any community that Jaime parasitizes to ensure that he is not allowed to keep any of the peace and security he took from his neighbors.

Professional politicians have a more or less pathological need for acclaim and/or respect. Their material interests align with the bosses and landlords who bought their power. Their constituents' material interests lie just as firmly in the opposite way. Democrats are that conflict playing out live.

"The vast majority of perpetrators of violence are really only doing it to seek status and power and acceptance from the community around them, if the community around them says, 'We don’t want you to be violent. We want you to leave' It’s not really surprising that they'd say, 'OK, then I’m going'"

Washington State follows a “no‑duty‑to‑retreat” rule: if you are lawfully present in a location—including your home, vehicle, or place of business—you are not required to flee before using force that is reasonable and proportionate to the threat. 🧵

The World Federation of Trade Unions condemns the imperialist intervention in Venezuela aiming the control of the mineral and energy wealth of the country. WFTU calls for an International Action Day in Solidarity with the people of Venezuela on Jan 22. @wftucentral #GreenPartyUS

The rise of Big Beef as an ally to fascism isn't surprising, but it does add an additional twist of Robber Baron absurdity.

A statement of solidarity with Rojava from the Karenni Revolution “ ji Karenni heta gelê Rojava, Di vî wextê gûman û xeteriyê de, Em silav û piştgirtiyê xwe ji we re dişînin.

Court orders mean nothing now. There are no consequences for violating them, from the lowest beat cop all the way up to the DOJ itself. The ONLY way to stop this is to stop ALL funding, order the agency’s disbandment, and prosecute all its members.

You can still use this link to donate and help support the U.S. based solidarity organizing that is working to demand action to stop assaults on the DAANES.

These borders that were brought down in 2014 by the unity of the Kurdish people will once again see the walls of division fall today through the spirit of resistance and the unity of Bakur and Rojava. Tear down the walls.

All youth need to explore & engage outside the confines of their local culture to become healthy global citizens, but for queers, these connections are vital to our survival. Social media's problem is a for-profit model that treats users as products. The solution is cooperatization, not censorship.

Kurdish media reporting last words of Mazloum Abdi directed at Joulani after he insisted full surrender: "I will die with honor and will not sell out my people and my dignity. I will return to my people in Rojava and declare war."

Rojava has been a beacon of hope for a viable future in which we can thrive together. It is both the journey and the destination. We must all do everything in our power to keep that beacon lit.

Biji Rojava.

Shame on @us.theconversation.com to publish meat industry spin. The disclosures show that the authors are paid by the industry & the article makes dubious statements. With the Trump administration's blessing, this polluting industry, like that of fossil fuels, is gaining rather than losing ground.

A lot of people have shown their mettle. Folks who feel the danger of standing out more keenly than most activists found themselves in the glare of the historical spotlight, and chose to be good ancestors. They took the first, hardest step. Now our support will determine where the next foot lands.

"Fascist governments are condemned to lose wars because they are constitutionally incapable of objectively evaluating the force of the enemy." - Umberto Eco, "Ur-Fascism"

Negotiating in good faith with the United States is like having a polar bear bust down your door and challenging it to a chess match. Thinking fascism can be beaten with just votes & lawsuits is like watching the guy above get mauled and thinking, "ah, If only they used the Vienna Gambit"

one of the best things about this whole nightmare has been watching a whole bunch of folks who have clearly never been seriously political in their lives standing up and going, no, absolutely the fuck not, we’re not letting this happen

We need to move past the idea that any one party, politician, organization, or tactic can save us. No help is coming -or needed- that isn't already here. We still have enough engaged & outraged folks to pull our loved ones & neighbors into the work of growing a better world together. But not alone.

This honestly, is the strongest criticism of all electoral leftists, including Greens: We must grow *from* engagement on the ground against the two-headed political machine consuming our country, people, and planet. We can't just drop into struggles and redirect them toward our own prerogatives.

Leftists, too, are all too easily trapped in reflexive politics, reduced to a negative identity against whatever new horror the Right unleashes. To politically engage, folks need to see a viable alternative path away from the system that got us in this mess. Right now, only fascists provide one.

Value Village Stephen Miller won by 51.46-48.19; he barely has a mandate to issue parking tickets. Nobody is going to do an insurrection to keep this sniveling parody of a self-victimizing fascist in office. We look forward to the day he crawls back up the pig's rectum he slithered out of.

Find work that gets us out of our own heads, centered in community resiliency, human and animal dignity and environmental care. Food banks, urban food gardens, safe houses, libraries, community medical, child care, shelters, education and outreach, etc etc.

As Greens we support the reintroduction of Pit Vipers into our environment. They're key predators of rats, scabs, pigs, nonces, stool pigeons, and toadies, and act as a vital ecological compliment to the Sabo Tabby. 🌻🐍🦋

We have so much to learn from the Rohingya, and everyone surviving and resisting the Junta and other oppressive forces in Burmese society.

I wrote a quick blog post in 2014 titled "police reforms you should always oppose." It went viral and became the basis of a chart created by Critical Resistance to evaluate abolitionist steps. Money for training and body cams were the first two on my list.

Uh, the Pierce County (Tacoma), Washington sheriff just threatened to secede and overthrow the county government by force if they try to fire him. Like no shit. No exaggeration. Watch it.

We will win the federation of egalitarian, decolonized, migrant welcoming, free expression cultivating, restoratively just, queerly liberated, culturally & ecologically abundant, thriving communuties we all deserve. It will not, and cannot, be recognizeable as the United States of America. ✊🌻🦋

Beyond polyamorous folks, this would also protect divorced and single parents, people with live-in extended families, and found family of all sorts, and provide an additional layer of protection for gay and trans couples. It reflects and protects the diversity of ways that human lives grow together.

Olympia recently voted to remove Flock cameras, and the next day bagged them all while waiting to remove them permanently. Talk to your city councils.

The Green Party of the United States, regarding the American people (documented and otherwise):

The Revolution will be Vulcan: With infinite diversity in infinite combinations. 🌻🖖🦋

Thurston County needs this ban on pesticide and herbicide applications in public spaces (with qualifiers for habitat restoration work regarding invasives)!

Go to 44:44; be cleansed by the cheery Great Lakes defiance of Kris in her pink UFFDA hat: "I've never had flashbacks & teargas at me, but I'm happy to take it so my neighbors don't have to" "We need socialism to get past this. Just voting in Dems & not changing anything, we're just going back here"

Abolish the Consent Manufacturing Industrial Complex.

ICE agents love to wave around paper that looks official. Most of it is a scam — administrative forms signed by ICE supervisors, not real judicial warrants signed by judges. Let's go through what that scam paper looks like versus a real judicial warrant.

If there's a chance of anything resembling democracy next then what's on offer has to be more than voting for representatives. It will have to look like control of the economy, ownership of our infrastructure, democratic planning of how we survive the climate catastrophes to come.

Abolish Democrats, then.

The promise of GenAI is that it will make everyone a billionaire: Not in the sense of having access to wealth, security, or power, but that anyone can now get high off the cognitive damage that occurs as your brain suffocates from lack of oxygen due to being trapped in a bubble full of sycophants.

Democrats: “we’re against ICE but here’s another blank check to increase detention center capacity for FY 2026” They’re planning a 10% budget increase for ICE. WA’s very own @senpattymurray is Vice Chair for the appropriations committee.

"if people genuinely want Russia held accountable for its crimes in Ukraine, they must also acknowledge that Israel has to be held accountable for its own crimes." "Ukrainians fight to defend their homeland, just like Palestinins do, no one goes to war solely to protect U.S. geopolitical interests."

"It sustains the idea that some people simply have to be sacrificed on the altar of the common good. Whenever we allow ourselves to be persuaded by passivity propaganda, we therefore not only work against our most important political values – we also put up barriers to our own liberation."
