@shrugdealer.bsky.social and I got married on International Day of Worker Solidarity, May 1st!!

Reading recommendation care of @ladimestore.bsky.social! Described as "A powerful and impassioned historical account of the largest successful revolt by enslaved people in history: the Haitian Revolution of 1791–1803." on GoodReads.

Just heard a report that disproves every idiotic thing @whstancil.bsky.social has ever said about the economy being strong. Consumer spending is being propped up by the wealthiest Americans, the economy is a "top-heavy jenga tower" where the economy is quite bad for poor folks and only getting worse

…about $400 less than usual, my deposit just came through.

#MutualAidRequest! I did not get any pay for last week as I am out of PTO and Tgiving and the following Friday are not paid holidays for me. Any help is appreciated as I cannot pay bills with this lost income. :( Please share. Thank you! V: werkingclass CA: $werkingclass

Kind of like how the United States is racist and highly segregated (apartheid is Afrikaans for segregated), yet we had a black President. Do you think people who call Israel an apartheid state don't have the same or similar critique of the US??

Why would anyone invent transphobia as a way of discrediting this dude? There are so many completely idiotic, technocratic opinions he actually holds to discredit him with.

Sorry for the tautology but- ethnic cleansing is wrong because ethnic cleanaing is wrong because it's wrong, because ethnic cleansing is wrong, be, cause ethnic, cleans, ing, is wrong. Okay?

Is anyone seeing how this isn't a democracy??

European Jews' DNA originates in the Caucasus. Yemeni and Ethiopian Jews are deeply discriminated against in Israel. Palestinians are fully Semitic people.

pathetic country.

Now: Hundreds assembling in the Chicago Loop for a march and rally to demand the National Guard leave town. Folks chanting "Donald Trump you racist clown! You're not welcome in this town!"

Hey @nytimes.com it's still not a war. It's a genocide.

👍 the pigs are in on it and there’s no plan to deal with this 👍

On this day in 1763, due in part to Pontiac's resistance, the King of Britain issued the Royal Proclamation placing certain limits on westward colonial expansion in North America. This enraged proto-Americans and was one of the causes of the American Revolution (freedom to colonize more quickly).

You shouldn't underestimate the government's intent on following thru on these operations. That's why lawyers saying things like "Trump can't do that! The law doesn't allow it!" is so dangerous. Plenty of examples to pull from: 40s-50s red scare, COINTELPRO, cold war COIN, post 9/11 "anti-terror"

Reminder that "criminal" is a meaningless category. Some of the best people I've ever known have been "criminals" and "felons." Donald Trump is a shitheel because he's a lying white supremacist queerphobic ableist neo-confederate scumbag, not because he's a criminal.

Law enforcement historically loves announcing their undercover operations ahead of time

this was posted yesterday on Twitter and is still up. it has 598K Views, 114 comments, 674 reposts, 33K likes, & 538 saves. Bluesky’s Trust & Safety team has somehow managed to become more restrictive & hostile towards marginalized people than a platform owned by a literal neonazi.

Why am I not surprised this is the take for today??

Are you implying that this Nazi fuck committed *dun dun duuuun* voter fraud? www.phillyburbs.com/story/news/l...

John Stuart Mill failed to consider that creepy loser men would not react well to other people's liberty.

Surprised?? Only that there are people who wouldn't have immediately known this story to be true.

Hey, good idea or not, Americans get checks so... let's do more of that till all Americans actually own the means of production.

ok I didn't mention this in my piece on friday but one of the things the judge asked about was whether the guardsmen were going to get paid during the shutdown the doj was like "idk" the state of oregon was like "we looked into it and the answer is no"

I look forward to the midwit Zionist fuckery masquerading as Fact!

I’m glad people are aware of this, but it isn’t new. People in immigration detention were consistently moved away from their attorneys in the Biden admin. We reported on it then, but very few people cared about migrants when they weren’t a partisan tool.

CBS executives are the biggest collection of invertebrates on earth.

Fuck Van Jones for that, but also, Fuck every US Senator, including you Chris Van Hollen, who didn't come out every day since 1948 (or 1918) and decry the settler colonial project in Palestine. You have this blood in your hands too.

*abolishing

Cops stay protecting ICE's right to kidnap people.

American Libertarians want all the things actual libertarians hate: cops, military, courts for property disputes, private property, etc. AND most Americans, even communists, have no idea that this has nothing to do with libertarianism. The anti-communist prism has distorted everything.

They ate so fucking scared of anyone knowing the names of their precious little fascist policemen for the mere crime of dragging children from their homes at 5 in the morning and hauling them off to camps that it's making them lose their fucking minds Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

What's wrong with this picture??

if it feels like I have decided to make it a priority to radicalize libs here, that's because I have.

The thing about authoritarians is, they'll dismiss a 20,000 person revolt as inauthentic because 1 CIA asset was involved, and then celebrate Russia's use of tanks to crush a revolt in another country on the basis of anti-imperialism. Like bro, taking 20% of Hungary's GDP is imperialism.

the entire world should be openly hostile to benjamin netanyahu at this moment

I guess because I thought you could figure that out on your own.

"They had many of the same problems we had: education, organising the people to struggle and raising consciousness. They damn sure had the same enemy, and they were doing as bad as we were, if not worse." Assasta Shakur on the re-occupation of Alcatraz by the Indians of All Tribes in 1969-71

Assata Shakur has "died in Havana, Cuba, as a result of health conditions and her advanced age." She was 78.

I remain utterly shocked that someone with the handle “mommunism” has a take that’s not the best. (Sarcasm)

yes. authoritarianism includes the US, nazi germany, fascist italy, francoist spain, south africa, Israel, Canada, Mexico, Argentina, Chile, Brazil, Indonesia, el Salvador, Panama, Jamaica, and every other nation-state that defines itself as some entity separate from its people.

Online leftists stay letting everyone else define who they are.

An authoritarian communist believes communism can be achieved by capturing state power. It's a term derived from the 1st International, and the split between Bakuninist (libertarian) and Marxist (authoritarian) communism. A libertarian communist is someone who believe state and capital must be

No it isn't. It's a term strictly reserved for authoritarian "communists" who believe in crushing all dissent through brute force. They're not leftists AT ALL. And no one outside of leftists circles even knows the term. It's not broadly applied by anyone. It has a very specific meaning.

#OtD 25 Sep 1968 Seattle city council brought in a gun-control law at the behest of the Republican mayor to prevent self-defence patrols by the Black Panthers. Many gun-control laws were introduced around then with NRA support to disarm African-Americans shop.workingclasshistory.com/collections/...

Hey bsky, I’m homeless after eviction. Me, a friend, and three dogs are living in a rental van. We need help with gas and meals, as we drive to find food and camp spots daily. Anything helps! Please share. #mutualaid Cashapp: $brixandbats Venmo: @elohelexe

This is so true and so scary and why it's so important we keep cameras on these thugs.
