This is not a call to violence or illegal activity. I'm not telling anyone to go buy a pew pew or anything.

This is an article that covers some modern and historical efforts at community and self defense, and may be relevant as marginalized, leftist, and left-leaning communities come under attack
A Return to Leftist Self-Defense
Communities targeted by escalating right-wing violence are learning from their own histories how to keep each other safe.

🚨 I pledge to NEVER step foot in a Walmart again. If I cannot afford it or find it elsewhere, I do not need it. White people MUST take a stand. This openly hostile contempt for black people cannot be tolerated or dismissed. I am not waiting for a national strike - I am DONE. Who will join me?

TikTok will be co-owned by China and Trump allies, Paramount was sold to a pro-Trump billionaire who's also set to buy Warner Bros, X is owned by an apartheid-bred fascist, WaPo and Meta are owned by Trump-cowering billionaires, and Murdoch owns the Fox empire. Here's why media has a liberal bias.

Pointing out how safe DC by showing the low crime rates isn’t going to convince conservatives because “people breaking the actual law” isn’t what they mean by “crime”. To them, “crime” includes merely seeing black people, unhoused people, and anyone else the bigots clutch pearls about as “crime”

As deeply disturbing as Trump's use of an avalanche of lies and racist dog whistles to justify a federal take over of DC policing is...most disturbing is that this is a test-flight of declaring "emergencies" where none exist to take military-police control of multiple American cities.

Asking for a left version Stephen Miller is like asking for a left version of Goebbels.

It’s wild how many people think Medicaid cuts won’t affect them because their state calls it something like “Healthy Louisiana”. I don’t even care about right or left right now, this level of civic illiteracy is why it’s so easy to pass bills that hurt everyone.

Folks, it’s free. Learn. Please.
One of our earliest civil rights statutes was designed to protect us against masked gangs who violate our constitutional rights. This particular history makes the masked ICE gangs uniquely repugnant. open.substack.com/pub/sherrily...

Rightwingers who argue free speech is only for citizens are telling on themselves.

They don’t see free speech as a way to seek truth by testing our beliefs in the marketplace of ideas. They see it as a nuisance we tolerate because the Constitution says we have to.

Pick one. Either Kristi Noem is capable of doing her job and has no issue distinguishing between an undocumented migrant and a sitting US Senator, or she is completely incapable of doing her job.

Counterpoint: Robert E. Lee was a treasonous loser who gladly slaughtered his fellow Americans in defense of slavery while being a mildly above average military tactician.

He should’ve been hanged in Lexington.

@asianmanrecords.bsky.social I bought the Maguma Taishi acetate back in the day but misplaced the CoA.

Any chance I could slip you a few bucks (or make a donation, whatever) to have you toss one in with my Honor System records when those ship?

Had this argument with my dad so many times during The Great Recession.

It’s hard to look for work when you’re required to apply online AND be contactable, without some basic tech equipment. Same with maintaining an unemployment claim.

It’s not 1994 anymore, weirdly enough.
Never take seriously those who ridicule low income people for having a smartphone or laptop.

“If they’re so poor how did they buy an iPhone???”

Because they’re trying to escape poverty, not the 1700s, genius. If you think basic tech access is unnecessary or a luxury, survive a month without it.
