People need to stop trying to make disengaging into some strategic move. You didn't figure out how an administration is trying to trick you into protesting. You're just saying you don't want to take a specific action. There's a difference, and they'll move their agenda forward with or without you.

Too many people keep saying, “They're just trying to get a reaction out of us.” A fascist government is not your petty ex. They don't need a reaction out of you. They're carrying out their agenda whether you react or not. Talking about the administrators of a fascist state like this is so detached.

“The [Weather Underground] slogan… create two, three, many John Browns… substitutes the heroic actions of a few whites for the heroic actions of the masses of white workers. The real slogan that must be put forward is — create two, three, many million John Browns.” abolitionnotes.org/noel-ignatie...

even when it's nazis doing nazism, the press has to call them communists

Cincinnati was a positive example of what anti-fascism could look like in the coming years.

Today at 12, the Bundestag remembers the victims of the Nazi regime. Afterwards, the CDU/CSU will put forward resolutions for mass deportations, making German citizenship revocable for the first time since 1945, and the abolition of dual citizenship, and plans to pass these with Nazi votes.

It is a hideous time for trans people but beyond the horror and the pain when I look at what the regime is doing and I see them attempting to fuck over everyone from small farmers to nuclear physicists to pregnant single moms I see the contours of the coalition that

Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Those who act incredulously in response to ICE-gestapo comparisons seek to erase specific historical understanding of the development of genocidal forces as relevant to the current moment in the name of defending the decontextualized historical specificity of the holocaust.

Before “the final solution” (extermination) there were mass deportation plans, the Madagascar plan as well as deportation plans to Palestine and Siberia. The deportation apparatus became the death machine, the detention camps became the death camps.

As long as humanity has existed we have moved around the world, experimented with our genders and sexuality, and practiced mutual aid. The state/capital, even more so fascism, are far newer impositions on our species. We will continue to exercise these freedoms long after they cease to exist.

Credit where credit is due. The Chicago Teachers Union fought CPS to make this policy!

There is a lot to hate about how Chicago Public Schools functions as an enterprise, but the clear language they've laid out in how they deal with ICE should be a model for all schools across the country.

The Chicago Teachers Union is claiming that ICE tried to send agents into an elementary school, the Secret Service is claiming it was actually them for some reason just horrid stuff all around

Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Trump's immigration policy is performative violence intended to pacify restless white people. But it won't actually improve their lives—only raise their relative status by ruining others' lives.

And what Trump does to the undocumented today will eventually be done to others.

Trump clearly hates Palestinians too and will enable Israeli brutality in other ways, we can be sure of that. This was clearly politically motivated on his part, but the Democrats simply handed him this victory. I hope they never recover.

I am following the cue of Gazans celebrating on the streets and trying to feel some joy. I’m facing how numb I’ve become in order to survive. I longed for this moment for 467 days, and it’s here. And I don’t know how to access my feelings about it.

He credibly did more to end this (phase of the) genocide than they did. That’s not an endorsement of him in any way it’s damnation of them, and a simple observation of the facts. It will haunt them for years.

Democrats only have themselves to blame for yet again allowing Trump to position himself as an anti-war figure, despite his clear militarism and territorial expansionism.

Thank God. Ceasefire seems to be moving forward. But also a reminder that ceasefire is not enough. We deserve more than just an end to slaughter.

He has no concern for those left to die or sort through the rubble of his conquests, including even his own family. The collective delusion mirrors the abusive control and strategic abandonment he clearly exercises in his domestic life as well.

It is essential to human advancement, maybe survival, that Musk is properly reevaluated not as a climate hero but as perhaps the ultimate villain, providing a myth of progress while doubling down on car culture, bulldozing ecosystem, and planning an escape route for the elite.
