People are still doing this nonsense! bsky.app/profile/will...

Keep in mind that many people who initially claimed he wanted protests so he could militarily occupy cities quietly adjusted that narrative without admitting he did what he wanted, regardless. No “excuse” was necessary. Fascists don't need a reason or excuse.

Are you starting to get it? He was always going to hit us. You will not change the math by insisting that people assume some magical form of perfect victimhood that somehow reels in a monster. That's not real. And I am so sick of hearing it.

He was always going to do this. Chicagoans have not rioted, so the administration just lied and said we have. We have not attacked ICE agents, so they just lied and said we did. There was no chaos here, so they created chaotic scenes by attacking people and filmed that shit.

Y'all who keep lecturing protesters to "not give them an excuse" need to pause for a minute. Imagine yourself telling a DV victim, "Be sure not to mouth off or make any mistakes so he won't hit you. Don't give him an excuse! It's what he wants!" That's what you fools sound like.

"The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic was a litmus test people in the U.S. failed miserably, and we’re all still reeling from it. The results revealed to the ruling powers just how much they could get away with."

YES!!!!!!! you cannot leave your community behind and then be confused when you get lost

Another way out: What Black America's migrant history tells us now The complete erasure of Black immigrants is being aided by ICE incursions against disproportionately targeted communities

“Resting what U.S. Blackness means on citizenship is a seriously shaky foundation. Even though the formerly enslaved were centered in the initial and ongoing debate over birthright citizenship, we have never been secure in the citizen category.” prismreports.org/2025/06/25/b...

Migration, non-citizen status, and deportation are a big part of Black America's history, going beyond US borders. Still, nativism and xenophobia distort and derail. Let's deepen our understanding of what history tells us. I wrote about this for @prismreports.org.

Rochelle Jordan's new album is brilliant, and I don't throw that word around carelessly when I'm talking about music.

what kind of orgs or group formations do we each have the capacity to be a part of that centres our values while also upholding them within those group formations? everything we want to see in the world has to be built from the ground up, every day of our lives in a sense.

A great read.

Many people struggle to understand the law, and criminalization is often not in their favor. You can emphasize constitutionality and the law, but those things can be voided, amended, or disregarded overnight. If you have principles and values, you must stand on them, not on crumbling foundations.

If you think you're helping by screaming someone doesn't deserve something because they're “not a criminal,” you're absolutely not. The state will deem you and that person both criminals under the established and whatever expanded terms you're upholding by legitimizing criminality as a construct.

More people need to understand that saying only “criminals” should be subjected to expanding state violence around us is what led to the broader public being targeted by it, too. Criminality is subjective, and power determines what it is or is not.

The far-right reactionary says, “You lost, get over it.” Liberals say, “We need to kill and conquer the appropriate way.”

What is the non-war crime way to commit genocide?

There is no right way to massacre Native people, but the way many are talking about the horrors of Wounded Knee seems to imply as much.

The term “war crimes” does not truly hold the weight of the genocide and conquest Native peoples have been subjected to in the so-called USA.
