Can't pull a fascist takeover if you can't keep the lights on, remember that. These people are cowards and dipshits and can't find their ass from a hole in the ground. Remember that. Those who can keep the lights on, win the prize. And mutual aid will be the only light available. So we will win.

Assata taught me that “Only a fool lets somebody else tell him who his enemy is.” May her spirit fly free!🤲🏾
Photo of Assata Shakur seated. She appears to be speaking with her hands extended in the air. 

Her words overlays the photo: 

“At this point, I think that it is important to make one thing very clear. I have advocated and I still advocate revolutionary changes in the structure and in the principles that govern the United States. I advocate self-determination for my people and for all oppressed inside the United States. I advocate an end to capitalist exploitation, the abolition of racist policies, the eradication of sexism, and the elimination of political repression. If that is a crime, then I am totally guilty.”

No, we do not. We have to actually stand for something. And communicate it effectively. Then go out and persuade non-voters to vote and to vote for the things we stand for.

🧵 Authoritarianism, Democratization, and Coalition Politics.

The consensus around here is, more or less, that the United States is currently a consolidating authoritarian regime controlled by a mix of reactionary populists and fascists.

As a scientist, I would like to know how much science he actually knows. He's against vaccines. I'd love to hear him explain what a vaccine is, how they induce immune responses . Ask him what B cells are and to how adaptive immunity works. You'd need to get a science consultant to help craft Q's.
