these tech companies are using our neighborhoods as testing grounds for their dangerous technology... these things are hurting people, killing animals, causing chaos on the streets, and there is ZERO accountability or community input! 🤬

JUST IN: A Zoox autonomous car allegedly struck a San Francisco street-outreach worker in the Mission District & battered his hand.

Photos from the scene showed the man's car door smashed in, & the Zoox's glass doors fractured.

There's a lot of issues with the myths around nonviolence and protest. A big one is that they erase the actual history of the civil rights movement — complex coalitions whose struggles and strategies are vital to understand — into a whitewashed saintliness that gentry liberals are comfortable with.
It is important that those who seek to crush liberation today must sanitize and erase the movements of the past, particularly the civil rights movement. They conflate its nonviolence with passivity and a lack of disruption. Some, like 50501, do this explicitly. In doing so they even get nonviolence wrong. The civil rights movement had its own disagreements and differences with other groups in the wider Black liberation struggles, but its use of nonviolence was explicitly a set of highly disruptive tactics aimed at making injustice impossible to maintain. Its groups and organizers intentionally defied laws and police while refusing “moderate” offers of compromise. “It isn’t nice” was one of their songs for a reason. Today, there’s good odds those organizers and activists would be condemned as “provacateurs” and turned over to the police by those who invoke their memory to shut down militant demonstrations today. Their attitudes on armed defense — and even violence — were also much more complex, rooted in the reality of the cold terrors they faced. It is also much more complex than portrayed in today’s liberal mythology. Martin Luther King, Jr., while not expressly advocating violent revolt himself, nevertheless refused to condemn tactics used by others in the fight for Black liberation, especially in his later years. “It is not enough for me to stand before you tonight and condemn riots. It would be morally irresponsible for me to do that without, at the same time, condemning the contingent, intolerable conditions that exist in our society,” King said in his 1968 lecture The Other America. “These conditions are the things that cause individuals to feel that they have no other alternative than to engage in violent rebellions to get attention.” ”And I must say tonight that a riot is the language of the unheard,” King continued to the audience of high schoolers in Grosse Point, Mich. “And what is it America has failed to hear? It has failed to hear that the plight of the negro poor has worsened over the last twelve or fifteen years. It has failed to hear that the promises of freedom and justice have not been met. And it has failed to hear that large segments of white society are more concerned about tranquility and the status quo than about justice and humanity.” In 1965 King even pointedly refused to condemn Annie Cooper, a Selma, Ala. woman who punched the notoriously racist sheriff square in the face and knocked him to the ground, noting that her actions were clearly “provoked” by his racist violence. In Charles Cobb’s seminal book on the role of armed resistance in the struggle for Black liberation, especially in the American Civil Rights Movement, This Nonviolent Stuff’ll Get You Killed, he recounted how journalist William Worthy stumbled upon two firearms in King’s house. The civil rights leader noted these were “just for self-defense.” Another activist described King’s home as “an arsenal.” “The claim that armed self-defense was a necessary aspect of the civil rights movement is still controversial,” Cobb, a legendary journalist and former Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) field secretary, wrote. “However, wielding weapons, especially firearms, let both participants in nonviolent struggle and their sympathizers protect themselves and others under terrorist attack for their civil rights activities. Their willingness to use deadly force ensured the survival not only of countless brave men and women but also of the freedom struggle itself.” He lays out a multitude of examples, like the heavily-armed Deacons for Defense and Justice group that mobilized against segregation and worked closely with civil rights organizers. “If we had a picket line, these guys were standing on the corner, on both sides of the street,” CORE organizer Fred Brooks recalled. “Wherever we went it was like a caravan; these guys in their pick-up trucks with their high-powered rifles.” Renowned radical civil rights organizer Fannie Lou Hamer put it bluntly: “I keep a shotgun in every corner of my bedroom, and the first cracker even look like he wants to throw some dynamite on my porch won’t write his mama again.” Cobb wrote his history to counter the ongoing sanitization of the realities of that struggle. He’s honest about divisions within the movement over the use of armed force, but also emphasizes that fears that armed demonstrations and defense would lead to overwhelming retaliation proved unfounded. Instead, in plenty of cases local segregationist governments folded in the face of them. “It may be that ‘nonviolent’ is simply the wrong word for many of the people who participated in the freedom struggle and who were comfortable with both nonviolence and self-defense, assessing what to do primarily on the basis of which seemed the most practical at any given moment,” Cobb concluded.

it’s still so fucking disappointing and frustrating how the majority of comics writers basically hung Gretchen Felker-Martin out to dry. but now finding out she submitted the full series and didn’t get paid a single dime… not only are yall spineless cowards, do you have no sense of self-worth?

She could have stood her ground and after two weeks it would all have been forgotten, just like the sum total of all Charlie Kirk's achievements in life. Instead she chose to fire a trans woman on behalf of Nazis. It should matter to people.

A shameful choice, considering Javins's direct role in firing Gretchen Felker-Martin as part of the Charlie Kirk witch hunt. A capitulator.

Something I've been meaning to do before the year was up finally happened: I got stickers printed and available for purchase @sourcherrycomics.bsky.social
Big thanks to @stickerninja.bsky.social for the help. May art continue to be my protest and contribution against Collective Punishment.
A pile of stickers depicting the planet Earth symbolically kicking the abbreviation for Artificial Intelligence with a woman's black pleather Goth boot. "No Room For AI" is the slogan. A pile of stickers depicting a pudgy agent of I.C.E. getting hit in the face with a hand-peopelled grinder/subway sandwhich with tears under his shades, his baton flying along with sliced onions and a sponge of mustard behind him. "The Onions! The Mustard!" is the slogan in reference to armed cowards. A pile of stickers depicting a man's left hand flipping-off an encroaching tank based-off a real-life post of a Lebanese civilian flipping off an Israeli tank. "Stand Your Ground" is the encouragement of all oppressed people everywhere.
