If you care about public health, you have to become a revolutionary. If you care about medical research, you have to become a revolutionary. If you care about climate change, labor conditions, the well-being of children in war zones—you have to become a revolutionary.

There is no more middle ground.

If you care about public health, you have to become a revolutionary. If you care about medical research, you have to become a revolutionary. If you care about climate change, labor conditions, the well-being of children in warzones, there is nothing else for it—you have to become a revolutionary.

There is no going back to the way things were, to the future that we once anticipated. The old world is in flames around us.

@jimmykimmel.com A reminder that we should all hold our 'hot takes' on days like this till we have full information on motives, politics, etc.

Politicizing every shooting or terror act from the get-go is reckless and dumb.

Eat. Sleep. Exercise. Nurture the relationships that sustain you. Protect your health. Find joy. Don't mistake any of these for the resistance itself. Joy isn't resistance, neither is rest. But you need to be whole to resist for a lifetime.

Recognition of State of Palestine by Canada, France, UK etc is not only performative it is dangerous.

It doesnt commit to ending genocide or implementing arms embargo and sanctions.

Plus, explicitly calls for demilitarization of Palestine and disarming resistance.

Reviving Oslo is not an option!

The total violence exhibited with only a few weeks left in semesters was a sign of authoritarianism but also a sign of strategic weakness. A ruling class that can no longer tolerate dissent is a ruling class terrified and wracked with shame and guilt. They are both more dangerous and more fragile

reporter whose whole Thing is covering protests: no it’s not, it’s a very basic safety recommendation as we see an increase in nonprofits/501c3s using signups to add people to email lists which can easily be subpoenaed or seized by the state.

this take scans as pretty manipulative tbh

The “don’t sign up for protests” thing is just an outgrowth of the Online tendency to one-up other people on how much you care. Oh, they’re protesting and signing people up for it? I’ll show them by claiming that’s wrong and you can care more by not signing up.

"Charlie Kirk wasn’t a martyr for political moderation and bipartisan understanding. He was a partisan brawler who wanted to humiliate and crush his enemies. His legacy is making political discourse in the United States cruder, meaner, and more cruel."

What does gentrification have to do with authoritarianism? I talked with @xandrewleex.bsky.social about how displacement, surveillance, and “quality of life” policing function as tools of social control—and why housing struggles are class struggles.

“When people are fighting displacement, they’re fighting for their class interests,” says Andrew Lee.

Newsom threw trans people under the bus and is so hyped about clearing homeless encampments that he's taken up the work with his own hands. You won't beat fascism with Diet Fascism.

Trump's deployment of the National Guard for anti-unhoused quality-of-life policing in DC has dragged us into a frightening new era of military gentrification. Read more at instruggle.substack.com

Trump first tried issuing orders to hire 15k new border enforcement officers in 2017.

By 2019, CBP had only 33 new hires and 2,000 more job vacancies than they had when the order was first issued.

Do not let the reality tv man dictate your understanding of the political terrain.

Zohran's win in the NYC mayoral primary is historic but not unprecedented. In fact, he'll actually be the third socialist mayor of America's largest city in my lifetime. What does that mean for our movements? For more, check out my latest article at instruggle.substack.com/p/zohran

The occupation of Iraq was justified through same rhetoric we hear now about Iran: weapons of mass destruction, saving women & queers, clash of civilizations etc

the task of anti-imperialist left is not to litigate the veracity of these allegations, but to refuse racist premise for imperialist war
