People saying the fascism we’re seeing is unprecedented, unimaginable etc miss the larger point. We‘re not experiencing anything new. We‘re experiencing an *expansion* of existing realities targeting Black people especially. Until we get that, we’ll miss how to fight US fascism at its core.

A child free from the guilt of ownership and the burden of economic competition will grow up with the will to do what needs doing and the capacity for joy in doing it.

Didn’t know this! Do you know how many years I pined for jstor access! Yes I am a giant nerd who pines for academe leave me alone with my papers and books

So exhausting..

Kind of amazed that so many people seem to think nothing’s wrong when we have masked secret police kidnapping people on the streets of America and sending them to foreign torture prisons.

It’s always interesting when politicians say hate and violence have no place in this country. It was founded on those principles.

“Nothing is more important than stopping fascism, because fascism will stop us all.” - Fred Hampton

Zines as Social Media “Why have we let ourselves cede terrain on the term ‘social media’? Quite to the contrary, zines are social media—for starters, they exist in three-dimensional life and lead to face-to-face social interactions.” Full post @cindymilstein IG or kolektiva.social/@cbmilstein/...

This is the secret the Trump regime tried so hard to keep about the Dallas ICE shooting The names of the dead and wounded Jose Andres Bordones-Molina Miguel Ángel García-Hernandez Norlan Guzman-Fuentes Fight Trump's dehumanization. Say their names. My new column www.inquirer.com/opinion/dall...

Little Free Anti-ICE Libraries: yesterday multiple people were abducted by ICE in my Chicago neighborhood (Avondale). This morning I added 40 ICE alert whistles to three different LFLs, including one box that is about a block from one of the kidnappings. I have ordered 700 whistles.

Nobody cares about the victims in the Dallas ICE shooting apparently. The first I've heard about one of them was on CNN today. He's fighting for his life in the hospital --- he was brought to the US when he was 13. He's 33 now. No criminal record. I just don't know what to say anymore.

BREAKING: At least 91 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks across Gaza since dawn, medical sources have told Al Jazeera. 🔴 LIVE updates: aje.io/7770yd

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

#tdih 1962, "Silent Spring" by Rachel Carson published, exposed impact of pesticides on environment. Carson was vilified: called a Communist, disloyal, unscientific, and hysterical. Sound familiar? Attacks on truth tellers, with media complicity. See⬇️🧵 zinnedproject.org/news/tdih/si...

Life rises out of death, death rises out of life; in being opposite they yearn to each other, they give birth to each other and are forever reborn.

“It is our duty to fight for our freedom. It is our duty to win. We must love each other and support each other. We have nothing to lose but our chains.” Assata Shakur

"Who would have predicted this?" - Black women did. - Trans people did. - The *entire* disability community did. - The anarchists did. - Post-Evangelicals did. "Well why didn't I hear them." You did. But you disregarded us as "extremists" and "alarmists". And you are still calling us that.

It happened in Turkey to the Armenians. It happened in Europe during the Holocaust. It's happening in Gaza. It's underway at ICE facilities around the US. And if we don't stop it, one day it could happen to you. Dehumanization paves the way for ethnic cleansing. crimethinc.com/ChicagoBroad...

"solving the autism problem" oh you mean cutting the scratchy tags off my shirts?

Happy Birthday to our American troubador, the storyteller of the American dream and the soothsayer of the American nightmare. The Bard of broken men , The Boss Bruce Springsteen....his songs have been a huge influence on my writing..his 1st 8 albums might the greatest run in Rock history

I know antifa isn't a real organization because I don't get 40 texts a week from them asking for donations.

Hey a thing I really don’t want to get lost here is that while Tylenol doesn’t cause autism, IT’S FINE TO BE AUTISTIC. Let’s not grant them the premise that autism should be eradicated in our way to correct the science, okay? Okay.

TOMORROW BELONGS TO US

Shabbos reading this week was actually mostly watching cartoons because of top surgery recovery, but I did read a bit of this:

Not to sound desperate, but I am! My fundraiser seems to have stalled, we've made it to $155 (thank you!) but I'm still needing lots of supplies and I'm also fully out of money and actually in the negative currently and in need of groceries until my next SSDI check comes in. Please share, thank u <3

i say this every time i get a spam call lol

Remember: this is $20, supports a library in a city under attack by the federal government right now, and it makes Matt Yglesias mad 😹

Albert Jesús Rodríguez Parra was one of more than 230 Venezuelan immigrants the Trump administration sent to a maximum-security prison in El Salvador. After his release, he says he wants the world to know what happened to him. By @melissa-sanchez.bsky.social

Menstrual products can be a huge help, too! And are covered by FSA funds, in case you’re starting to think about use-it-or-loose-it season.

rest in peace to my two students jl and tt. i am so incredibly sorry the system failed you. cops will never protect you. fuck domestic abusers. acab 4 ever

When I used to say this, ppl didn’t pay any attention. Carlin said it before I did but many in the audience took it as a joke…it never was. youtu.be/C_FQZUSy1Vg

It's been a wild week but we made it through and it's time for your regular reminder: don't talk to police, they are not your friends!

Cancel your Disney+ & donate that money to mutual aid or indie journalists in your area.

it's hard to be queer in appalachia, and someone I care a lot about was arrested seemingly for walking home on rural roads while queer after losing his keys. He's trying to raise funds for his court costs. www.gofundme.com/f/5d3hr-help...

But when we crave power over life—endless wealth, unassailable safety, immortality—then desire becomes greed. And if knowledge allies itself to that greed, then comes evil. Then the balance of the world is swayed, and ruin weighs heavy in the scale.

ok i have had tummy troubles since monday, and a lot of my students are out with covid/flu/“cold” and i just wish folks would wear a mask. new covid varient has kept some of my students out of class for 2+ weeks.

@benwrex.bsky.social is such a bright light and great talent, and i'd love to help relieve some of the medical & health-related stress that they're under, so i'm helping organize a mutual aid campaign for them. sharing is very helpful, and any amount goes a long way! thank you so much 💞💞💞

Reminder: you don’t have to be good at something to enjoy it, you don’t have to get better at it, you don’t have to monetize it, and it doesn’t have to be useful.

From Sahar: My family is exhausted and broken. We have no food, and my son Odai’s painkillers have run out. I watch him suffer while I have nothing left to give. Please, help us survive this nightmare—your support can bring food and medicine to my child. 💔 verified by @gizmodo.com ✅
