One of the best intros to #mutualism by @plutophrenic.bsky.social
"I want freedom, the right to self-expression, everybody's right to beautiful, radiant things. Anarchism meant that to me, and I would live it in spite of the whole world — prisons, persecution, everything."
Emma Goldman
#InternationalWomensDay
I am very burned out these days and am not functioning well. I need to get myself back in working order.
I think about how there was long ago some guy who said to himself, "You know those wolves, the fiercely intelligent apex predators? With hard work and a commitment to a project I won't live to see the completion of, I bet I can turn them into what will one day be called a Pomeranian."
Staff at the nation’s largest Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facility have placed bets on which detainee will be the next to die by suicide, according to new reporting from the Associated Press based on 911 calls and detainee accounts.
Tomorrow is March 8, International Women's Day.
In 1910, Clara Zetkin proposed this event at an international women’s conference at Folkets Hus, headquarters of the Danish labor movement.
That building later became the historic autonomous social center Ungdomshuset.
You can read the history here:
It's a sign of the times that AI companies are deciding whether or not to allow the military to engage in mass surveillance of US citizens and this is treated as a legitimate debate of two reasonable positions.
There is a projector now outside the MDC in Los Angeles. DHS has come out multiple times now to try and secure portions of the fence
"The prosecutor displayed photos on a courtroom television of evidence seized from the garage of defendants on trial for alleged involvement in a radical left-wing conspiracy: photocopiers, a bookbinding machine and leaflets called zines."

Beyond being morally repugnant, snitching is demonstrably not a winning strategy:
Read more about this case in @theintercept.com's article by Jeremy Busby, @joinjeremy.org, in partnership with FPF:
Prison-style free speech censorship is coming for the rest of us: The government wants to make it illegal to possess literature it deems dangerous
It's not an excuse for cooperation, but the federal government has clearly extracted bullshit confessions under conditions that meet the definition of torture—incl extreme isolation, sexual violence, physical and emotional abuse, and the withholding of appropriate food and medical care.
1) don’t snitch should be standard.
2) supporting people facing charges who don’t snitch, and maintaining a culture of such practice makes it a lot easier for people to not snitch.
They've now killed four people -- three U.S. citizens and a Mexican national. They've shot several more.
They've lied about all of them. They haven't shaded the truth. They haven't "misled" us. They've brazenly, knowingly lied while in possession of the evidence disproving their lies.
Naw, public choice theory is broadly really solid and the core insights predate the right libertarians who defined the phrase and congealed the field into more rigorous work. The core LWMA analysis is that our enemies sometimes find valuable tools.
Wrongness by association leads to Lysenkoism.
Revealed!: the transcribed zine of our interview with William Gillis (@rechelon.bsky.social) on their @c4ssdotorg.bsky.social book about The Science Wars, Radical Realism and anarchism.

today's rampant nihilism reminds me of what conservatives have long warned would happen in a world without god or tradition, but its precisely conservatives who are embracing runaway nihilism because they lost the argument to liberals
You too can print out a big pile of zines and handbills for the dance party benefitting the Prairieland defendants. @dfwsupportcommitt.bsky.social
The US government is trying to criminalize anarchism in the Prairieland case.
Several defendants are cooperating.
Do not give in to this fascist regime.
Keep paying attention, speaking out, and doing what's right.

As the Prairieland trial unfolds, Texas prosecutors are struggling to portray zines and anarchist flags as instruments of crime.
If you are curious to learn about the history of the black flag as an emblem of anarchism, you could start with this text:

This is imperialist theft and plunder at the point of a gun.
The tree of liberty thirsts.
I am often far too conciliatory. So it goes.
This is an unpopular opinion, but it’s better to abolish a federal position or department completely than to have it lead by Trump’s MAGA loyalists to inflict harm.
It's important to remember that what the US government is doing to non-citizens both at home and abroad are two sides of the same blood-soaked coin.
This is where the worship of nation, state, and race terminate: concentration camps and carpet bombings.
ICE is a secret police force.
“Zines are really like this little atomic unit of freedom of the press with simple pamphlets that you just pass around. It begs the question of whether the prosecution believes that we should have a First Amendment in the first place” #ZinesAreNotACrime
