🧵 On July 19, 2022, police responded to a call at a home in the Atlanta suburbs reporting that someone was being held against their will. What followed marked the end of the Black Hammer Party and the tragic loss of life due to the manipulation of a vulnerable youth by a high control group.

Because I will always carry ignorance, I don’t assume to know better than my peers, and have always rejected a hierarchy of superiority among humans.

I don’t understand how men can live in the world with other humans and think themselves anyone’s superior.

It’s low-effort cowardice.

I’ve been one of the luckiest fuckers on the face of the planet as far as I can tell.

What I don’t tell myself is that I “earned” it, and what I don’t tell myself is that it is enough.

There’s never enough to sate my curiosity, because I know that I will always carry ignorance.

sung “never met a nice South Afrikan” to a crowd of white people in Cape Town, subbed piano for a group in JoBurg I had no common language with, talked shit about Athenian slavery with an old man in Mikonos, laughed about how Mussolini died with a lady in Santorini, and eaten rotten shark (hakarl)

composed an award-winning off-Broadway musical, a full-community environmental musical in two languages, adapted Klezmer songs from WW2 for a world class soprano, ghost written for a big mainstream artist, “been embraced by a bunch of lovely queer internet nerds just for singing my thought online,

looked death in the eye a few more times than was probably healthy for a twentysomething, started organizing a tenant’s union that tragically betrayed each other, been invited to a Juneteenth bash in Harlem and gotten stoned and played the ukulele for Mayans in Cancun, sang with Roma in Slovakia,

eaten a murdered rabbit fresh out the grass in Argentina, written the phrase “from the river to the sea set Palestine free” on my note in the wailing wall, won a fight with a cop and escaped arrest, been transported by NYPD to an empty parking lot at 3AM and thought I was going to die right there,

I’ve sung for cruise ship audiences, taught teen punks not to fear their falsetto, spit in the faces of Hungarian fascist officials, watch the northern lights in Lapland and Iceland, drunkenly argued about socialism with an activist in Angola, eaten a murdered octopus fresh out of the Indian Ocean,

One of the gaps in my human understanding is the type of inflated self importance that leads to megalomania (the type common in conservative cis men).

I have led an interesting life so far, I’ve fit massive amounts of living into my first 33 years. Seen parts of the world most people never will.

The thing I don’t get is that it should play into the libshit whitey progress arc

Upgrade from “ancient world” to whatever whitelibs call the eras before feudalism, upgrade from feudalism to capitalism, upgrade from capitalism to [insert socialism term that doesn’t make liberals piss themselves]

the only convincing argument for the continuation of capitalism is "capitalism is really hard to get rid of"

no one who *likes* it has a good argument, any real debate comes down to "is what comes next worth what it would cost to get rid of capitalism?"

The Feds Targeted Charlotte. Now a Local Democrat Who Helped ICE Faces Voters. - Bolts North Carolina lawmaker Carla Cunningham voted to mandate compliance with ICE, and derided immigrants on the House floor. The Democrat faces an intense March primary.

NEW: When North Carolina's GOP wanted to pass a bill last year to require that local governments comply with ICE, they were one vote down.

A Democratic lawmaker gave that decisive vote—as she has on other GOP bills.

Now, she faces a primary challenge from a progressive activist... in 14 days.

if you live in Wicsonson, theyre trying to push through an insanely restrictive Age Verification law that would make it illegal for an ADULT to use a VPN to access "material harmful to minors"

contact your legislators NOW

"will you vote for newsom in the general" is designed to undermine the left opposition to him *in the primary.* it's meant to show that the left can be ignored because they'll come around or that they can be ignored because they're a lost cause. the mission *now* is to make newsom lose the primary.

If you think "AI" is the future, you're explicitly saying you do not want to pay artists their due worth. Period.

You'd rather bypass the hard work that comes with creating art and instead burn entire nuclear power plants' worth of energy to bypass the whole thing.

So after Trump pardoned Honduras's narco-president, the admin didn't just let him out--they canceled an immigration hold and sent a specialized team to **chauffeur him to the $1k/night Waldorf Astoria.**

“It's "absolutely fucking nuts,” said one official

There is no ceding on anything. Period. We are full citizens who participate in society as any other full citizen or your nation can die.

If you’re concerned about trans people because of their roll in mass shootings, wait until you hear about cisgender straight men

This is who the Newsom boosters support.

We’ve come full circle

Mia Valentina Paz Faria A 7-year-old from Venezuela who was living in Austin, Texas Detained for 70 days “I don’t want to be in this place I want to go to my school.”

Hey now that I’ve deleted TikTok, anyone recommend a quick-subtitling app or site? About half of what I was using it for was just to subtitle videos lol

A man pushed me in the street, he wanted to teach me a lesson. Is that OK now? | Lucy Pasha-Robinson Many women reading this will have experienced something similar: a warning that sharing public space isn’t a man’s job, it’s a woman’s, says Lucy Pasha-Robinson, a Guardian assistant Opinion editor

This piece sums up a thought i've had for a long time, which is that the key to understanding the success of Farage and Reform is recognising that 'Being a cunt' is a political project now, and that being irritable and anti-social is politically more advantageous www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Frozen chicken being hastily boiled in two large, messy pots

A lot of dirty dishes in the sink

Today I didn’t die in the revolution, but I made food and did the dishes.

⚠️ Eighteen people in Texas remain in jail after being accused of “providing material support for terrorism” for participating in an anti-ICE protest.

The case is intended to set a precedent criminalizing protest.

Jury selection begins for a trial involving nine of the defendants on February 17th.

One reason Republicans are so laser targeted on trans kids existing, is that trans kids existing requires accepting the bodily autonomy and consent of children.

Which is something republicans absolutely can't do, since they are pedophiles.

Their transphobia and pedophilia is them being consistent

Trump is not an aberration. He is a symptom of a much larger disease.

You do not get to Donald Trump and American Fascism without George W. Bush and if you find yourself trying to paint him in a positive light you have absolutely lost the plot.

I have the trappings of security but it’s all knifes edge precarious, extra would help with medical care.

Also, every establishment Dem who said illegal immigration was a problem during the Biden admin has some culpability for where we are now.
