Watching all these centrist pundits stress the “civility” of Charlie Kirk’s style without addressing the ugliness of his substance is giving me a renewed appreciation of how the civil, polite White Citizens’ Councils conned the same crowd into thinking they were distinct from the cruder Klan.

ICE killed one of our people, and lied about it.

What happened to Silverio Villegas-Gonzalez

Immigration agents shot and killed an unarmed 38-year-old father outside Chicago on Friday—and their initial narrative of events was quickly disproven by videos captured by witnesses.

Although the Salon article about Cater isn't about HIV issues, here's an accompanying detail from an ACTU/AIDSGATE poster showing Ronald Reagan's ugly face with glowing pink eyes, a dorky hair style and a greenish yellow background. Fuck Reagan! Source: https://peoplesgdarchive.org/item/10552/actup-aidsgate-ronald-reagan-poster.

With how the US election just went, those of you who follow us here on Bluesky might appreciate what we had to say on the role revolutionary unions have to play in antifascist struggle:

#EduSky #anarchism

Towards a Revolutionary Union Movement, Part 9: Antifascist

Fascism represents an all out war against the proletariat. Revolutionary unionists must unite with antifascist struggles of all types if we hope to outlast the repression we will inevitably face.

Anyone who thinks this attack on higher ed is going to stop with the humanities or courses on race and gender has another thing coming - Florida is already targeting classes on “Labor and Globalization” and “Introduction to East Asia” for removal from the curriculum

“When the state begins to regulate what we can teach at the level of the university,” said Katie Rainwater, whose class, Sociology of Gender, is marked for removal from the core curriculum, “then we have to question whether the university can serve its social function, which is to be a place of free inquiry.”

Being Autistic doesn't lead to being Trans & Polyamory. However there is a HUGE Overlap. If you Hate Trans & Polyam People you DEFINITELY Hate Autistic People. There is always Overlap. You need to Stand With EVERYONE cuz otherwise you're Standing against Someone. Someone that may be important.

TanzPunk @tanzpunk.bsky.social · Nov 23

Note the inclusion of "autistic" w/ "transgender, polyamorous allies to pedophiles." I've been warning this was going to happen for like 2 years now, but many people didn't want to believe me. This is all hands on deck time, folks. Protect autistic people AND trans people. (And poly peeps, too!)

November 5th wasn't what any of us wanted. At the end of the day, our low pay, awful managers, and sub-par benefits will continue, until the working class organizes.
