I checked the NYT and my local paper the Boston Globe and saw nothing about it. As per usual, the journalists at People (yes, that People magazine) are on it.

Non-protesting dad just trying to hustle his kids, as young as 6mo, out of the neighborhood. ICE threw a flash-bang INTO HIS car, all 6 kids in the hospital now.

If anyone wondered how things turn against occupying armies there's a case study playing out in front of you.

ICE agents fled from the crowd and left behind their CONOPS battle plan for Minneapolis, including agent's names, hotel rooms, phone numbers, boxes of license plates, and tac radio frequencies.

my dad was the exact same. He always commented about how my then partner was the one "wearing the pants" and that she was "in charge". And then when we split he was relieved he'd get his "old son back". Which is rich coming from a divorced guy who won't even acknowledge me as non binary 🤪

Conservatives have their own "gender ideology" they are pushing constantly, and it's one that's built on coercion and treating women like property.

I sort of wish y'all took this more seriously, because this attitude is a reinforcement of heterosexuality as a hierarchy. It's an acknowledgement and understanding that it's not enough to "be with" a woman, or even to father children.

They define manhood as exploitation, abuse, and dominance.

I do wish people would stop trying to deploy homophobia against heterosexual fascist men. It doesn't fucking work, you're not owning them, you're just accepting their framing of queerness as shameful.

Leftist men want to keep the power and rites of differentiation of the their men’s clubs and still be allowed to claim themselves as feminist. No no. Take actions that get you called a bitch or a faggot and then stand by them. And that’s just a start.

Men who act in consistent solidarity with the gender marginalized must be gender traitors, must accept that other men will respond to that betrayal by demoting them in the gender hierarchy and pushing them into closer proximity to women. If that isn’t happening, meaningful solidarity isn’t either.

Another post from a Venezuelan friend:

oh cool you can just do that huh?

over the course of 1871, congress held seven months of hearings on ku klux klan and other white vigilante violence in the south, they took detailed testimony from hundreds of black men and women attesting to klan terror. (1/?)

This part particularly reminded me of Trot leader Tony Cliff, who rejected feminism because *obviously* working-class men didn't benefit from sexism. This is of course downstream from "working-class men" being his preferred political subject.

Everybody should watch this and see this woman, who has a baby in her arms and is thrust into basically a standoff, develop courage in real time.

The elite across multiple industries collapsed immediately. Literally zero fight in them. It was shocking that people with "fuck you" money and power never said it. Seems like the same character traits that get you power and wealth makes you the kind of person who values it above everything else.

The American revolution was part of a cycle. Liberalism was preferable to monarchy the way socialism is preferable to capitalism.

This is not saying “men are ontologically evil,” it is saying “gender is a hierarchy, and appealing to men on the basis of their masculinity requires legitimizing and maintaining that hierarchy.”

Hot take but masculinity politics cannot integrate into an anti fascist popular front because the most popular and broadly appealing forms of masculinity are defined by domination.

The way that people have memory-holed that Abolish the Police was the actual radical demand in 2020 and Defund the Police was incrementalist reformism to help get there is extremely depressing

Moreover, ICE must be destroyed
