On #marxistmonday remember that the class which has the power to rob you on a large scale, also has the power to control the government and legalize their robbery. -Eugene V. Debs

When you know your field well enough to correctly guess your reviewer 5 sentences in 😅

I hope MTG moves away once she resigns. I have half a mind to email her and offer to help load the truck.

ICE sprayed a one-year-old in the face with pepper spray. The child and parents are US citizens, but that doesn't even matter. These monsters pepper-sprayed a baby. We cannot allow ICE to continue this behavior, and they aren't going to reform themselves. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

Congratulations to the newest addition to my muted words. I don't know who Tilly Norwood is but apparently they were annoying me at some point

Crying in the club saying goodbye to my lab rats getting adopted tomorrow 😭🐁🐁

Every revolution was impossible until it wasn’t. Get organized. Study liberation theory. Set up networks of mutual aid. We have a world to win.

Happy Thanksgiving to my rats and some people too I guess

Thankful today for all the people, throughout history to the present, who have resisted oppression in any way, but especially in the effective ways

Great article. Increasingly important to not allow under-examined antizionism to let any antisemitism into our movements. Be informed! Be vigilant! Stamp it out!

After reviewing rough drafts, I'm cancelling my students' final presentations like a disappointed father.

hey so even if you do sweep Dems into power again all those people who are openly calling for your murder will still exist so what is your plan because last time Dems were in office they didn’t do anything about it and now we’re here and my god we can’t keep doing this why do you refuse the lesson

An anonymous student put a nice complimentary note in my mailbox today 🥹

Oh

Today in class discussion it was a student, not me, who brought up capitalism. Then I asked the class what capitalism is and got the actual correct answer 😳😳😳

The specific edition of The Communist Manifesto that I recommend is this annotated one from @haymarketbooks.org www.haymarketbooks.org/books/2107-t...

Fuck right wing populism, fuck the cross crass alliance, in which the white working/lower class allies with the white owning class against, or at the expense of, people they deem others. It's not cool, it's a deadly scam. Abandon whiteness, destroy class society.

I think there's probably a silver lining to Bovino being the visible face of the American gestapo. Pic unrelated

Read this thread and try to tell me that fascism is some far future hypothetical danger or that concentration camps are a historical topic

I was fighting fascism with the power of love and kindness and just really getting my ass handed to me. proteanmag.com/2025/11/01/w...

The reason these mass demonstrations are allowed to happen is because it lets the steam out of the pot in a controlled way. It's meant to feel like action so that you dont follow up after. The frustration is that during these times, the follow up is REALLY important.

Listen, I'm all for bulldozing the white house, but not to build some piece of shit a ballroom.

Yikes

something about this ex blackwater mercenary i dont quite trust

Haven't seen any news about Kristi Noem's claim about the antifa founder's girlfriend that was arrested. Curious. /s

Which liberalism is more annoying: antifa doesn't exist, or, the military is antifa?

I do think it's funny that trump is probably upset he didn't get the Nobel peace prize, and hope the stress gives him a fatal stroke, but I don't find any legitimacy in a peace prize that has been given to Kissinger and Obama

Israel Agrees To Go Back To Killing Palestinians On Less Frequent Basis

just stop talking about the "constitutional crisis" as if it means something or anyone is going to do anything about it. stop. laws are fake. the constitution was a piece of paper. trump is a fascist. all that matters is what they want to do and how we are going to stop them.

This is my blood

Yes

We need a bigger national spotlight on this building raid, fam. Agents dropped from helicopters onto the roof. Citizens and non-citizens alike were dragged from their homes in the night. People who weren't kidnapped during the raid had their belongings seized after the fact. This is madness.

This seems fine and does not affect me psychologically, physiologically, at all 🥴

Say it often, say it loud: "Overall, research has not supported the common-sense presumption that digital approaches to schooling are better than non-digital alternatives. At the broadest level, widespread computer use in education has been found to be associated with lower student achievement."

Happy Friday everyone. The horrors persist but so do we. youtu.be/OLkPwxcIji0?...

Assata Shakur declared war on the rich who prosper in our poverty, the politicians who lie to us with smiling faces, and all the mindless, heartless, robots who protect them and their property. We should do the same.

A bit of James Baldwin today: "I imagine one of the reasons people cling to their hates so stubbornly is because they sense, once hate is gone, they will be forced to deal with pain"

humbly, we ask your aid—to support independent and uncompromised leftist publishing and journalism, and art and poetry too.

Right wing all week: How dare anybody call us fascist?! Trump today: Designates anti-fascist groups as terrorists, uses FCC to consolidate control of the media and hands TikTok to allies

What do liberals think will happen if "the Epstein files" get released? It's so tiresome. Everyone paying even a modicum of attention has known Trump is a pedophile and former best buds with Epstein for what feels like decades. "I'd like to see ol' Donny Trump wriggle his way out of THIS jam!!"

The world's "leaders" are sick, monstrous people and I hope I live to see all their power taken from them

How long do I have to hear about that little gum toothed freak? Another couple days?

It does not have to be this way.

Some Fucking Nazi: *dies* People Who Accepted the Genocide of Gaza and Police Brutality and Murders of Trans and Queer People as Unavoidable Parts of Society and Insisted For Decades You Simply Must Shrug Off For the Sake of Some Imaginary Sense of Harm Reduction: violence is never acceptable

Bombed the ceasefire negotiators in the territory of a US ally who hosts our largest regional military base, and told the US it was doing it ahead of time.

This Benjamin Netanyahu fellow seems like he might not be completely sincere about wanting an end to hostilities

Just this early Tuesday morning we've seen the regime indict a trans lawyer for (nothing? literally no crime?) and a professor in TX fired for teaching that trans people exist.

Liberals really need to abandon this peaceful protest fantasy in our current climate
