that’s funny. sometimes i wonder if folks bounce off anarchism because they don’t have a context for it. for me i met anarchists at the same time i was reading anarchist texts, so i had very close examples for what i was reading.

and they won’t even give you credit.

if i had one piece of advice for young anarchists getting
roped into a lot of debates with MLs and other reds, it would be this:

Anarchism has always been proved in the streets and not forums. You’ll know they finally get it when they appropriate your praxis.

Homeland Security Spies on Reddit Users Leak show feds tracking anti-ICE Reddit users like "Budget-Chicken-2425"

it should sendup flags that body cameras are alway the response to when police murder people COMING from police. that shit is for them.

Database of Court Filings Shows ‘Startling Pattern of Abuse’ by Federal Agents Against Citizens in Minnesota | Common Dreams A new database of sworn affidavits filed by the ACLU shows masked agents detaining citizens based on race without warrants, ignoring IDs, and pointing weapons at them.

“‘One officer pressed his knee into my back,’…‘Shut the fuck up, son of a bitch!’ One of the officers responded, ‘Why don’t you go back to your country?’“

another US citizen:

“I believe that I was stopped solely because of the color of my skin and our appearance, including wearing a hijab.”

There are major federal tasks forces operating still in Memphis, New Orleans, Miami-Dade, Phoenix, South Texas, still raiding homes, kidnapping people, black-bagging people from courthouses.

If ICE does controversial things but doesn't *say* controversial things, it disappears from the news.

i re-upped most of my titles on my store again.

so come thru and check me out.

ay! i had a great time. thanks for having me on.

thanks for the interest and hopefully you’re able to enjoy the book.

as far as an audio version i have limited autonomy over that since i don’t own the media rights to it. hopefully there’s some interest in optioning it tho.

We believe there are few investigations that deserve more sunlight and public scrutiny than this one, in which two masked agents fired 10 shots at Alex Pretti as he lay on the ground after being pepper-sprayed.

One thing about these particular agents is that once you pay attention, you realize they’ve been in so many iconic photos from this time. Just one example:

In this photo from Anthony Vazquez in the Sun-Times, that’s Michael Sveum on the right. Edgar Vazquez was out of frame, but nearby.

Another way out: Power, force, and far-right rewards for killing The far-right’s celebration of killing and the state’s complicity in it show that violence is one of America’s sustaining forces

Fighting fascism requires a realistic analysis of power and force. The right-wing shouldn't feel they can reward their killers and motivate others to kill for them without any consequences. I wrote about the importance of unrelenting actions for @prismreports.org.

I should not have to say this but if you are a legal observer your job is not to go snitch on any and all illegal things.

Your job is SPECIFICALLY AND EXCLUSIVELY to record law enforcement brutality, illegality, and overreach.

It is ABSOLUTELY NOT to snitch on protests you find too spicy.

ay thanks.

very hyped for this. shout out @margaret.bsky.social for having me on and putting up with my rambling.

anytime you appear to have constructed some kind of active political formation people inevitably start asking how you’re going to solve every problem.

going to check out the Black Lion event and the thing that really stuck out to me is how much people are looking for direction.

an honestly half these “Panther” groups up to somethin too.

Bringing The War Home

exactly, anyone that doesn’t understand that is living in a fantasy.

low stock alert: we have ONE copy of @benpassmore.bsky.social's celebrated minicomic, Your Black Friend left! After that, you'll have to buy a whole book to read it (can you imagine?) www.radiatorcomics.com/shop/uncateg...

i need to see the Urban cartoon so i can tear it apart.

i’m still all over it cause all the Black 2a and NOI ppl i follow are on there. the feed is crazy, but it’s useful.

this is a story from December, before the killings. whether OP meant it or not there is an effort to use copaganda to make you see them as your saviors so you relax and stop fighting

i have to see this cursed nonsense at 8am, so you have to too.

"I'm gonna give Homan the benefit of the doubt"

"They should coordinate with local law enforcement, pick these people up in the middle of the night when they're not suspecting it"

Walz is capitulating to fascists and encouraging night raids. Genuinely disgusting. Why would anyone settle for this?

Federal deployment to Minneapolis "is steady state and expected to continue as planned," per Border Patrol memo leaked to me
