Arabs/Muslims/Leftists (take your liberal boogeyman pick) are somehow a large enough caucus to have sunk Harris’ campaign but never a significant enough caucus to have deserved a modicum of respect for their very publicly stated and available concerns.

Living between the abject horror of state violence and the sweetness of the solidarity we are all building to face said violence—canvassing our neighborhoods with KYR literature, migra watch shifts, signal chats full of love and outrage. Thank God for everyone stepping up to meet this moment.

If this ends without actual trials and Truth and reconciliation?

It’s not worth anything

Because we don’t get HERE with just “Trump Bad”

After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation

Depraved.

He was wrongfully imprisoned for 43 years. Moments after being released, ICE took him

Subramanyam “Subu” Vedam now faces deportation.

This is how you get glowing profiles of how much Mamdani loves the police and praises his ability to keep the people subject to police violence silent.

Pritzker should be held responsible for the police nominally under his control; that being said, this is going to be a problem for every politician you try to sell us on as a savior. Because everyone of them, and many of their supporters, refuses to actually confront what the police are doing.

People think that furloughing/shortchanging police and military personnel makes them disloyal, but in reality it makes them demand bribes from civilians during spurious enforcement actions

My version of this is that Vought, Yarvin etc represent a kind of braindead right-Gramscianism, which leaves out all the interesting subtleties and treats civil society _only_ as a realm of indoctrination, where one ideological master-narrative can readily be substituted for another.

jamelle @jamellebouie.net · 1h

a key thing about vought — and all of these guys — is that they have a totally top down and hierarchical vision of the world. they believe that the cultural changes they hate can be turned off by destroying the federal government because they can’t imagine that they emerged bottom-up in society

Thomas Zimmer @thomaszimmer.bsky.social · 2h

What he’s railing against is a profound shift in culture, status… He’s obsessed with the idea that America is controlled by a leftist “ruling elite” - but “elite” isn’t defined socio-economically or by political power, it means something like: Getting to define “real America” and who gets to belong.

BDS has moved from the margins to the mainstream, with cultural, sporting, & business sectors increasingly taking a stand.

Shouk, a US-based restaurant chain offering Izrahelli-inspired cuisine, has closed following BDS.

Gaza a political issue that matters.

When yall haven’t updated a playlist in a while, do you create a new playlist or do you just shamelessly go back to updating it? I want to update breathing underwater with some new heat but I feel like I neglected it for too long 😔

i think it’s noteworthy that a lot of centrist pundits have decided to just take it as a given that jd vance lies constantly and to treat this as almost part of his intellectual program so that only gauche rubes would bother to mention or care about it.

One of the realest folks in the game was Aimé Césaire. Dude gave us the concept of the terrific/imperial boomerang.

Additionally was Amílcar Cabral who taught us the notion of no easy victories when it came to fighting against imperialism (the highest form of capitalism) and its children (fascism).
