"I don’t think of the abolition of the state as a final destination; I think of it as one step – albeit a crucial step – along the path of combating coercion and domination, a struggle that may never be finally completed."

No Citizens: Abolishing Borders Beyond the Nation-State The very existence of borders is one of the founding injustices of this world. Most of us recognize this implicitly, and I won’t spend too much time here trying to argue what’s been clearly argued by ...

Listening to @yourewrongabout.bsky.social on Yoko Ono and it’s said that John and Paul are basically divorced but staying together β€œfor the kids” and my mind immediately pictures Ringo Starr in a onesie looking sad XD (ftr the β€œringo songs” are actually my fave)

Networks Versus Hierarchies in Minneapolis’ Struggle Against ICE For some time, I was thinking about writing a review of Kevin Carson’s book The Desktop Regulatory State, which helped inspire me to become an anarchist back in 2016, to see how it aged in the decade ...

"While ICE is still able to make arrests, the number of people they have so far been able to grab is far lower than what they would have done if the community was slower to organize." - @mutual-a.bsky.social

How do people still not understand evolution? Like today I heard some podcasters I like and respect trying to defend evolution against ignorance and still somehow getting it so wrong. I guess we really can’t resist assigning a narrative? Wild.

Hey the new season prompted both my brother showing me Kate Bushs *even weirder* stuff AND me getting to introduce my wife to the Butthole Surfers. So all other sins are forgiven 🀣

Justice Department says filming immigration raids is 'domestic terrorism' A leaked Justice Department memo directs federal prosecutors to press β€œdomestic terrorism” charges against individuals who record immigration operations.

An administration of posters and livestreamers naturally view power through that literal lens: who controls the cameras supposedly controls everything.

But the legal foundations of this shit go back to the SHAC-7, where filming animal abusers was ruled "terrorism."

yes some of it the social dynamics of social media, but also there is a long history of leftists, going all the way back to Adorno at least, making the argument that qualitative reasoning is actually capitalist or even fascist

here's robin mackay complaining about this tendency in the 2010s

I asked my wife last night why she wanted to go outside to see them every night from through the window, rather than enjoy inside. β€œInside they look like peace and comfort. From out here they look like resistance.”

Hey all, here's zine about how to do Jury Nullification canvassing and outreach.

It's easy to just tell people they can acquit as jurors, but our goal should be to effectively reach the right people AND get them successfully selected as jurors.

Underrated thing that's been flying under the radar: ICE's hiring spree, by necessity since there are so few others willing and able, has been hiring away local cops, which infuriates the departments by causing manpower problems and is, ironically, removing the worst of the worst from their ranks.
