If I die, I want my remains to be scattered at the US Capitol. Do not cremate me.

Charlottesville, Revisited—2017 to 2024 Seven years ago, anarchists and other anti-fascists converged in Charlottesville, Virginia to oppose the “Unite the Right” rally. A retrospective.

On August 12, 2017, Nazis and klansmen rallied in Charlottesville in support of Donald Trump and fascism. One of them murdered Heather Heyer.

What distinguishes that killing from the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti?

Only this: in 2026, fascists can murder on government payroll.

Abolish ICE.

communists are being gemein to me

Time is a spiral.

We might not want to 'take control' of workplaces, any sites of capitalist exploitation, nor negotiate with anyone claiming to own them. Is why I'm not a syndicalist. But there's at least some substance compared to the "call your representatives" strategy.

“Occupy the factories” is the new “don't siege Stalingrad, just take it immediately.” I'm tired of phrasemongering. Why won't and why can't we occupy the factories? Should we even? Let's start with that.

I think of this meme every day

it’s always ‘call your representatives’ and never ‘let’s do a year long general strike’

My hot take about the “students cannot read whole novels / watch whole films / etc.” is that they can learn to do it. None of us are born with attention spans suited for long media. It is a learned skill and can be developed with practice.

i feel like one thing that we should be making abundantly clear from now on is that the majority of anti-trans consent manufacturers are goddamn pedophiles.

are you going to believe what a bunch of pedophiles say about us? what does that say about you?

Fear of ICE is keeping pregnant immigrants in Minnesota from critical care Health care providers in Minnesota said pregnant patients are having more complications linked to stress. But fear of immigration agents is keeping them from prenatal care.

Citing fear of ICE, pregnant immigrants in Minnesota are

-skipping prenatal care
-requesting home births, even when not medically advised
-going w/o adequate food

Many are experiencing complications providers say can be stress-onset: diabetes, high blood pressure, and even water breaking early

A very merry Fuck Ice to all who celebrate 🎉

Comte After Positivism (1996) is an important book in the revival of Auguste Comte that has taken place since the 1990s.

Not sure I understand, what's the retreat to earlier Marxism?

my version of this is my Mexican father refusing to accept mangos aren't from Oaxaca because "we grow so many kinds in my valley!!!" (mangos are from Bengal and Myanmar)

I embrace and cherish you, because I have love for you, because my heart finds nourishment, and my need satisfaction, in you, it is not for the sake of the higher essence whose sanctified body you are, thus not because I see a ghost, i.e., an appearing spirit, in you, but out of egoistic pleasure: you yourself, with your essence, are of value to o me, n because your essence is not a higher one, not higher and more general than you, is unique like you yourself, because it is you.

Decided to pick up "The Unique and its property" again and was not disappointed!

This whole page was a very solid page, in the alt text is what stood out to me the most on this page!
