i don't particularly disagree with a lot of the critiques of anarchist activism by liberals but I bristle when they act as if their best practices are any wiser. we're here because none of us figured out how to avoid being here.

We didn't say body cams on ICE. Their murders are already on video. We said no more ICE.

“Did they grow up under a rock??”
Yes. And the rock was probably put there on purpose by men who wanted uneducated people to control.
This is why we don’t leave any state or county or town behind. Nobody deserves to grow up under a rock. Especially one they would never have the power to move.

the Epstein files make it very clear why the MeToo backlash was so extreme and why so much of elite society preferred Donald Trump ruling us like a king to the barest hint of accountability

hindsight is 20/20 but maybe selecting university presidents on their willingness to debase themselves for private donor money is related to the current difficulties in defending academia from fascism

Hi leftist public educator here who makes educational videos, the answer is that propagandists on the right are funded by billionaires and culture workers on the left are funded by $5 a month donations from already struggling working class people. Hope that helps, anything else is missing the point

(norman rockwell guy) i don't think we should replace human tutors with the lying robot that tells children to kill themselves
We want to make sure tutoring isn't the preserve of a lucky few, but accessible to every child who needs it.
AI can help us do that.
Safe, personalised, one-to-one learning support to help every child achieve and thrive.

If you want to know what I want Democrats to do, please look at everything the GOP has done to fuck shit up when it was the minority party and copy and paste those tactics.
I want Democrats to use every lever at their disposal to shut things down. They have the power to obstruct and gum up the works, the only thing stopping them is outdated norms.
People are being executed in the streets and if elected Dems aren't prepared to do dramatic things, they can fuck off.

What do y’all expect Dems to do? Undo the Big Beautiful budget bill (that the GOP majority passed)? Even if Dems hold up the budget resolution and shut down the govt, DHS and ICE will continue to operate. So what, exactly, can they do as the minority party?

This is also connected to that whole thing where all their fantasies of protecting their own *family* centers on enacting violence and not, like, vaccinating their kids and making sure they're prepared for a power outage etc.
Even people they know, they only think of in terms of violence.

rightwingers see people caring about others in their community and instead of finding that inspiring they think it’s some sort of grand conspiracy because they don’t understand what it means to care for others you don’t personally know

this is a small thing but it would be nice to feel good about paying taxes. i would like to write a check to the government and think about kids going to school and freshly paved roads not all the death squads my income helps fund.
The Trump-Vance administration just used your taxes to pay for ICE agents to kill a 37-year-old nurse, who was only there because another ICE agent killed a 37-year-old mother of three, who was only there because ICE agents are kidnapping your neighbors

I'm not asking for reform because arguing on paper about what ICE has to do is not the fucking point, because--and this is important--they are not following the fucking paper.
I said "abolish" and I did not stutter, because if fascists goons can take over every four years, there is no paper reform.

Today is, among other things, a reminder that you don't get a general strike by posting that we should have a general strike.
You get a general strike—on the rare occasions you do—by the long slow slog of building organizing power with those around you in response to local conditions.

They want you to think that there is nothing in the past but shame so that people flinch away from examining history.
If you examine history, you will find good people. At every time in history, you will find them.
Maybe not enough, but they were there. You can be this generation's good people.

i’m a little confused about how “abolish ICE” requires too much explaining to be good politics, but a set of opaque incremental reforms does not.
