Was so fun and touching to see this poem come to be on Twitter the other day. Great poem 🫡

JANUARY 29, 2025 I tweet a screenshot of a text, sent to Me by doordash: Lenin is approaching With your order from Subway. I caption It: Such a strange time we live in. It Is January 29, 20 25. Donald Trump is President Again. & much like the President that Came before this, his second term, he is Not going to defund the police. & The Democrats are saying that he is. He's not. A comrade replies to my tweet With a screenshot of a poem called "Lenin:" Lenin walks around the world. Frontiers can- Not bar him. / He's got your fucking sandwich.

your political “scene” is not redeemable if there are ppl you would have to do public talks claiming the 3rd precinct was burned down by white supremacists (a racist conspiracist theory).

"social democracy with molotovs" as a desire among a certain set of supposed radicals bent on preserving liberal democracy as the "optimal fighting ground" is a very real thing & it's pathetic.

thing about most critiques of liberal anti-oppression pol is that, while they might be strong in the actual critique, their "solutions" to amount to something like "we've got to dei dei" & they tend to not value militancy & so are doomed to be doomed to return to some form of the same pol.

'We want answers': Independence apartment complex holds vigil for mother, baby killed in police shooting Eight days ago, a baby and her mother were killed in a shooting involving Independence Police at Oval Spring Apartments. The sentiment at a candlelight vigil on Friday evening was similar to that day.

a little over a week ago a 2-month-old & her mother were shot & killed by police in Independence, MO. body cam footage has not been released.

“A law enforcement presence was not allowed at the vigil due to tension between the family and police.”

crimethinc responded terribly after michael reinoehl shot a fascist in PDX. both online & in an essay written shortly thereafter they basically urged white people to stick together / not to turn on each other with life-ending violence. but it was far from just crimethinc that sucked in that moment.
