Pt1 🧡: Greta Thunberg deported to Athens says, "There's a live-streamed Genocide in front of our eyes in Gaza. No one will be able to say they didn't know this was happening. The Global Samud Flotilla only existed because our leaders failed. Our international systems are betraying Palestinians."

The government is rounding people up and putting them into camps and nobody is talking about it as political violence

Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

I feel like the recent push to sanitize and censor the internet is part of an effort by the state to control what kind of unreality we will exist in, rather than address the root cause, because they believe they have more to gain that way.

Another way out: Building resistance when passivity is the norm The COVID-19 pandemic should have shown us that we’re supposed to be meeting needs, not falling in line behind fascist incursions

COVID-19 has revealed that much of the US public is willing to accept mass death and abandonment. We were pushed by propaganda to see many around us as disposable. That helped set the tone for current fascist violations. I wrote about it for @prismreports.org.

Pointing out hypocrisy does not work in terms of accountability but it can help illustrate an important point: it has never been about principles and has always been about power

I went to a stag, for one of my oldest friends, this past weekend. The politics were polarized in both directions. Half support our modern SS and the other half are ready for some abstract revolution. A long distance from the let’s get drunk mentality of 10 year ago. Trump has radicalized us all.

Chattel slavery was so bad that when we tell you how bad it in fact was most of y'all shut down and tell us we're making it up and pass laws against us ever telling you how bad it was again because your brains literally cannot handle how bad it in fact was.

Big WIN for the Great State of Texas!!! Everything Passed, on our way to FIVE more Congressional seats and saving your Rights, your Freedoms, and your Country, itself. Texas never lets us down. Florida, Indiana, and others are looking to do the same thing. More seats equals less Crime, a great Economy, and a STRONG SECOND AMENDMENT. It means Happiness and Peace. But Republicans, there is one thing even better - STOP MAIL-IN VOTING, a total fraud that has no bounds. Also, go to PAPER BALLOTS before it is too late - At one tenth the cost, faster, and more reliable. If we do these TWO things, we will pick up 100 more seats, and the CROOKED game of politics is over. God Bless America!!!

Artificial scarcity from landlordism and usury on credit are still enormously important, but IP arguably even more so because knowledge and technique result in less dependence on land and capital.

Japan's aging atomic bomb survivors speak out against nuclear weapons The number of survivors of the U.S. atomic attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki is dwindling 80 years later, but they are increasingly speaking out against nuclear weapons.

Many of the classical anarchists came out of the republican tradition for this reason. Pernicone and Ferretti have done a great work exploring this type of development in Italy.

And another thing, to pitch the left right divide, in the French Revolution, as only a matter of state affairs is simplistic. A key difference in the split was over social relations. The republicans, minimally, were advocating to flatten them whereas the right/conservatives advocated for hierarchy.

Embracing multiple tendencies is important and necessary. But to argue that anarchism was not historically left wing is dishonest. If they want to advocate for post-leftism, have at it. That said most historical/classical anarchism sat firmly on the left (except the Stirnerites).

I think there’s an impulse among many people to assume society is always getting worse which probably both shapes media narratives & how people respond. As someone who teaches sociology, it’s astounding how many students begin papers with β€œX is increasing” when X has been decreasing for years.

Lee Zeldin, Trump’s EPA chief, plans to revoke the 2009 β€œendangerment finding”, the EPA’s legal basis for regulating climate pollution. This isn’t rollback. It’s sabotage. Without it, the EPA can’t limit emissions from cars, power plants, or industry. Decades of progress gone.

What’s wild about 2025 Italian America, is the ultra Catholics (not trads, but go to mass every Sunday types) and progressives are united against MAGAroni (Italian American reactionaries). Do we really want the worst of the the worst to monopolize the community?

I am teaching a civic oriented high school class this summer. Today we are analyzing the Bronx Slave Market. I’m using social reproduction theory. Half the class loves the method heaviness of the class and the other half has no idea what I’m talking about. It’s literally a 50/50 split 😭.

A local NYC baseball coach says he fended off ICE agents during a recent practice.

Youman Wilder said caught feds questioning youth about where they're from & country of origin, so, he told feds to back off & kids to not answer!

Shoutout all of our local heroes!

Philly is in its first municipal strike in the social media age. Does that affect how events are unfolding? So far, the national press has largely ignored Philadelphia's first strike by city workers since 1986.

It’s honestly so disrespectful and irresponsible that the national media has mostly ignored the DC33 city worker strike in Philly so far. It’s a huge story with massive implications for the 6th biggest city in the country.

Hell, I’ll write about it for ya! Email me! www.inquirer.com/politics/phi...
