The scylla of everyone treating every news story like they just started paying attention and acting naive and brand new The charybdis of pointing out nothing is new and acting jaded and above it to the point of denying new contexts and realities to stay safely embedded in left ideologies

Another post from a Venezuelan friend:

Trump citing the Monroe Doctrine should make clear just how precedented this escalation is.

Yes, Trump saying this in the immediate aftermath of forced regime change and specifically after kidnapping another head of state is a blatant threat! Who and where he’s talking about first in this matters. He’s listing targets, as he’s always loved to.

keep an eye on how theyre talking about sheinbaum and mexico

"just bombed one of the densest cities on the continent, regime changed, set up an occupation regime to siphon all of venezuela's oil revenue into us capital. can do this to any of the other latam states"

bragging because they believe they can get away with it. "yes it is in fact an occupation, yes it is all about oil, and what can you do about it" comically upfront

So many people over decades have been called conspiracy theorists for suggesting that U.S. intervention is driven by capitalist interests, and the interests of the oil industry in particular. Now the president just says it outright in press conferences and interviews.

Three million people live in Caracas, five million in the metro area. It's one of the densest cities in South America. Remember this in the morning when they try to spin this as anything other than a cold-blooded attack on a major civilian center.

The sheer cognitive dissonance it takes for USians to shriek "ACAB but the poor widdle imperial goons had no choice and respect the troops and and and" always belied such a rank, foul hypocrisy. Cops are bad because they hurt USians, who are people, but soldiers hurt foreigners, so who cares.

Why is Guyana not on this list? US backed strongman Linden Forbes Sampson Burnham to oust the head of state Cheddi Jagan because he was (sic) "too politically close to Soviet Russia"!

you're gonna want to bookmark this one, my friends (and also throw Lee a tip for her work 🖤)

We’re the cops of the world and have been acting in that capacity for some time. But writing up a warrant for another head of state and swarming Caracas with missiles and helicopters so you can kidnap him all without even attempting to invent other pretext is next level, even for the U.S.

non-monogamy offers an alternative to a structure that claims monopoly over an entire subset of human experience but which is too oppressive and entangled with other forms domination to be appealing.

Yes! Going to take the opportunity to finally properly share this little gem of an essay I’ve had in my archives for a while. Anti-Monogamy: A Radical Challenge to Compulsory Heterosexuality? by Becky Rosa butchanarchy.noblogs.org/files/2025/1...

Like the conflation of control with care is not morally or politically neutral. It's fundamentally patriarchal.

I think we need to be more confrontational about monogamy on general principle tbh. It is kind of fucked that our cultural default is you get to dictate how another person relates to others who aren't you, actually.

There is no possible iteration of adultery laws that do not ultimately amount to handing abusers more tools to control their victims and of you think there is it's because you're a dipshit tbh.

Much like pseudofeminist arguments for criminalising abortion, this latest nonsense about legally enforcing monogamy to protect women from abusive men is just an apprortiation of feminist framing for patriarchal ends.

Fun fact: Adultery laws are primarily a thing in heavily patriarchal and explicitly theocratic nations. India only declared its adultery law illegal in 2018. It's all about retrenching notions of ownership in intimate relations, during a time of ascendat patriarchy. Shit sucks!

He ran on mass deportation. There were smiling white people holding printed signs at their convention. Much of the commentariat focused on whether or not he could accomplish his goal. People who voted for him were not deceived on this front.

Between the pedo president and an economy built entirely atop the teen-suicide robot we're really being shown how structurally central oppression of children is to the whole system

Finishing up some final tasks and then will be making my website public in a few hours 🥳

There are many others to choose from, certainly, but I never needed another reason to hate generative AI beyond the fact that it’s a sexual exploitation machine.

Was painting on this and listening to Marie Krüttli’s Transparence album. By the end of the song Dark Belly I was surprised to find tears streaming down my face, my breathing shallow and shakey, and I had to put my painting fully out of the room. Art and music hurts so good damn.

In *normal times* the prosecution of Des for possession of zines would be The Issue of the entire North American radical milieu for a year, similar to Stop Cop City. There would be benefits and actions in every town, pushing back on this existential threat. archive.is/202511231336...

We didn’t get the whole amount of our surprise vet bill covered by the fundraiser but so much more than we expected and enough to soften the economic hit and make us a little less panicked, so I pulled the post down. Thank you to everyone for the help and support of all kinds 🙏 😭🖤

I see some people talking about the anti-AI crusade going too far and I just...... This is not a Twitter cancelation campaign we are fighting a war with the richest and most powerful people who have ever existed, who've sunk the GDP of a nation into poisoning Black Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

think the epstein conversation’d be more bearable as a survivor if i thought more people talking about it nonstop were committed to the kind of radical politics that might one day lead to a just society for us but it’s mostly libs using it to dunk on big cheeto the same way they’d use elonia stuff

Just got news back on my disability case. Which is that instead of giving me the decision like I was told they would be able to, they’ve scheduled me for a second continued hearing… in March.

Copyright is about corporate power, repression of information and maintenance of culture monopolies and everyone who thinks it's going to protect them has been sold a bill of goods

I would really like some poets/poetry recommendations! I want to get back to engaging in the practice myself, and am hoping engaging with other artists of the medium will help.

is it difficult to believe that both the conservative and liberal political wings are completely okay with sexual abuse towards trans people and towards children, and are trying everything to minimize attempts to fight it? all empire is built on such bone shards. patriarchy cannot run without rape

the trans panic, legislation of transmisogyny, etc. is not "distracting from the epstein files", it entrenches the sexual abuse. transphobia towards trans kids always entails sexual abuse, by families & states. one of epstein's first victims was a trans girl, ava cordero, who was not believed

A lot of you blocked my friend for bravely coming forward about Beefhurt Cretin. He was just arrested once again for domestic violence against another woman. Beat the shit out of her in front of her 4 kids AND keeps harassing my friend. If you defend this guy, youre just as much a POS as he is

it would be super nice if people could share this because in addition to saving for our move we will probably have to pay a lot for joy’s dental bills, we just made an allergy test for materials used in dentistry , and joy is allergic to a bunch of stuff that they had in their mouth for a decade

As this Crimethinc article I keep coming back to says: crimethinc.com/2018/03/22/w...

Ecologists are sounding the alarm about the deleterious effects of AI and data centers on the climate and the health and economic conditions of local communities, while Big Tech giants are lobbying politicians like Trump to dictate the media narrative, state investments, and municipal zoning laws.
