Can we just call it “capitalist hellscape?” “Polycrisis” sounds like a thruple that ran out of soygurt

H'wut?

@thewaroncars.bsky.social Y'all ever cover mid-20th century French marxist critiques of cars as, basically, ideological state apparatuses? Andre Gorz and Louis Althusser come to mind. Gorz: libcom.org/article/soci... Allthusser: newsocialist.org.uk/beyond-worke...

"We're not talking about going after small business owners or even big business owners". This is most of what the economy is as the power structure that creates billionaires. It won't START TO BECOME an economy for working people without systematic changes to class power from employers to workers.

People say billionaires should be taxed out of existence, but an economy that runs on money will create billionaires or undo tax mechanisms that nominally bar their existence. This happened under the high-tax post-war boom. We need socialism & a use- not money-based economy to abolish money lords.

Is riding an e bike cheating? No, it's just like doing 20 reps at a low weight instead of 10 at a heavy weight in the gym. You get the exercise anyway. AND you might be more likely to get on the bike in the first place. www.oxfordmail.co.uk/news/2586115...

Bluesky is not the commons. Twitter is not the commons. You can’t have a privately held commons. That’s not what words mean

Despite a fake culture war about denial, the corporations and many world leaders have understood the science of climate change. we know this because their scientists predicted climate crisis and they invest in it for /profit/. we assume that mitigation is the only response to climate science.

I appreciate the desire for peace, but because peace is the goal we cannot bypass the reality of how peace will come about in a world racked by violence and domination.

Americans will hallucinate classes everywhere except in the employment relation permeating society. Ergo The Billionaire Class, The Middle Class, The White Working Class, The Epstein Class. In this way, class consciousness is kept in an analytic cave of cabals & their social shadows.

Very grateful for her contributions to a profound technology spanning many uses.

My kiddo just fell asleep on my arm, as I read another chapter from Braiding Sweetgrass, which they says they really like— “hehe, Baba, trees have sex.”

This comes up in movement histories over and over again! Despair is your enemy’s friend! Good organizers know this!!

Democratic Lawmakers Say DOJ Is Investigating Them over Video to U.S. Service Members

“ICE is doing what ICE is designed to do” played over video of ICE engaging in acts of violence should be the wall to wall DNC media strategy right now

This is not a news outlet.

Great example of why I always try to train union stewards to avoid the words "can" and "cannot" when describing an employer's powers.

#OtD 14 Jan 1921 Murray Bookchin, theoretician of social ecology and libertarian municipalism, was born. His ideas have come to prominence more recently as they have been embraced by Kurdish communities in Rojava, Syria. Learn about his life and ideas: stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/8569...

I keep thinking about how Ford is the main provider of new cars for ICE and how no one should buy Ford right now

Born on this day in 1921. Unfortunately, vigorously defended the State of Israel in a 1986 article.

For all those who have been calling for a General Strike. How we support a localized/ state-wide General Strike to succeed, is an important muscle building exercise for a larger General Strike.

I think we need to understand the extent to which this use of "liberal white women" is a way of saying "race traitor." They aren't attacking these women for being white but for having a lack of loyalty to whiteness.

here at cbs news, we are undertaking a mission to tell the kind of stories that for too long have gone untold, like how cops are badass and white people have never done anything wrong

we must protect this man at all costs

This should be a national shutdown

I really want ppl w/o Minneapolis connections to understand You might've heard that Mpls public schools went hybrid bc so many families are in hiding. Well, a coworker just told me that today, during his kid's hybrid class, a kid's apt building was raided onscreen *Everyone has stories like this*

Part of what's great about Eric Foner's scholarship on this, for our purposes, is that it's about responding to kidnappings in an urban environment!

This YouGov poll on ICE is really eye-opening. Public opinion has really swung against DHS/ICE and their terror regime. d3nkl3psvxxpe9.cloudfront.net/documents/IC...

Don't tempt me with a good time WSJ 😉 But seriously does the press in other countries treat basic social democratic policies as communism too? Or just the US?

Some important new government policy that Native Americans might be interested in:

@materialistjew.bsky.social latest song I wrote inspired in part by your work www.reddit.com/r/FolkPunk/s...

Framing class struggle as the abolition of billionaires mystifies the larger role of millionaires driving inequality, poverty & ecological catastrophe. It plays into liberal ideology about the soundness of a system producing MILLIONS of millionaires while only pathologizing ~3000 billionaires.

What if every rib In your heaving chest Released your heart To follow its dreams And this woke you From that nightmare Drowning you in tears shed Wetting the bed Where you laid down your love A fresh layer of lies Honest mistakes and horseshit

Free information is important, but free stuff is the bedrock of a free society. It’s great that libraries are champions of both. kboo.fm/media/120831...
