Those are not mutually exclusive categories
Fyi, MTG moved to her district to run while claiming to be from the mountains of north Georgia She's from Alpharetta Basically a strip mall
Maybe but I think the New Left adage of working with liberals applies Use them, don't be used If there's a conservative who will sign onto universal healthcare take it But too often it's build politics around what conservatives will tolerate
I mean, Buckley is often held up as a standard and he was a lying homophobic racist The best we can say is that it's an ideology that doesn't believe all ppl are ppl I don't see how to work with that
Hugo your way Higo mine Yeah, I'll see myself out
This book is a good start Then I would read Charles Tilly on how movements form This will give a good basis for the current works on movement building Or you could get involved in People's Movement Assemblies The pol educ work will also answer ur question en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poor_Pe...
This is a lot of words just to say you don't know how societal change works
That is not how freedom works
You're laughing? A man got hit with something the European Union doesn't call food and you're laughing?
Puerto Rico is run by a junta aka Financial Oversight & Management Bd This board can & has overturned laws passed by the Assembly It's closed down schools & hospitals as part of imposed austerity measures If you're unaware of this I ask that you refrain from saying "PR should be a state" Thanks
Everything about the criminal legal system is pretend We pretend cops solve crimes, that punishment is justice, that the system cares about ppl, that the money isn't better spent elsewhere We should stop pretending
DC is FORTY-ONE PERCENT Black. Do you understand?
You're back to the salad now
At least this sentence makes sense
We should say you have written a word salad that doesn't make sense
This analysis is less fascinating
Aaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh
I swear if you tell me exercise actually is good for me I'll scream for days
Even when you add all that up does it equal other fossil fuels? Proly not But we don't need any of it And when you're already in a hole stop digging
The deaths due to nuclear doesn't include those made sick from the mining, the indigenous ppl displaced when uranium is discovered, the ppl exposed to low level rad waste as it's tricked around the country, the folks who don't get svcs cuz subsidies to corps instead
Stares in colonized
It's time to reup this
There is so much dunking on this person so I'll just say this is bad framing But if that's what you want, if you really see this as perfect vs good, then yes I will make good my enemy Because you already have
She also thought his plan wasn't tactically sound enough He didn't burn the bridge that allowed troops to corner him in town for example
He should have listened to Harriet Tubman's tactical advice But so should everyone else Then and now
I know it's a chore to switch services but I'm not inclined to read a newsletter on substack and I'm thinking I'm not the only one
If I may play along with things I've learned studying history * resistance to injustice is constant, big & small Look for it & you'll see it * it's hard to uncover how something started but it can provide insight it also might not * groups of ppl in close proximity for a time will have sex
Who cares if he lies? Everyone lies I'm lying right now The important thing is Bob can get better How do I know? Because 100 yrs ago Nancy sucked but she got better
Sure Bob lies about his reports but only 1/6th of the time, and he's stealing from the company and he puts fish in the microwave but don't you think firing him is drastic?
I will be thinking about this for a long time
"Biological sex" is a political term isn't it? Like "illegal alien" isn't a legal term but a political used to isolate a population Genuine question
*furiously writing stats* I know this is beside the point but can you tell me more about the velocipede?
Atlanta is a master class in this Post Civil War there was a place called Shermantown Three guesses what happened
Isn't Tesla over valued? If so that is proly cuz of Musk His only real talent is convincing money ppl to give him money
Okay I am going to need everyone who identifies as a "leftist" of any stripe, whether an anarchist or a communist or a socialist or something else, to STOP TELLING MARGINALIZED PEOPLE THEY DON'T NEED LAWYERS. No, ignoring an eviction or criminal summons is ABSOLUTELY NOT "boycotting the system."
The next post on your timeline is about how genocide You know how those occur? Dehumanizing a small group of ppl & then gradually expanding the excluded base Might want to check out this advice
Look, if the mediocre spawn of bourgeois mediocrity is forced into actual competition the whole system could collapse Is that what you want? Failing snowflakes collapsing all around us?
To be fair any 8 year old could do his job
You are a good and decent man in a world that needs good and decent men
Seriously, you put this as merch and I'm not saying I buy it but I'm not NOT saying it either
Years ago before being a historian I was a taxi driver Gods to think I could have been chief justice? I really dodged a bullet
I don't know who needs to hear this but every nation state is Omelas and it's not just one kid
If you're arrested in Illinois protesting the starvation of Gaza, I can represent you pro bono. Email me at sheryl@weikallaw.com. As always, I will take as many cases as I can.
I'm an letting the world know that this post is proof I'm super hot

I am Daniel This is absolutely true
Yes! Prisons do not generate profit Profit chases after prisons but IT DOESN'T ALWAYS CATCH IT
"Immigration enforcement? We're all older than the US. We're older than the concept of the nation state!" *points at eldest woman* "You think borders are real? She's older than civilization"
Entering the bank with my white redneck friend raised above my head announcing this is a hick up
"We in the West value cleanliness. We have utensils."
This is the Way
In a way you're correct Wait till you find out why it's really called the Dark Ages
That was a year ago Missouri Republican candidate torches LGBTQ-inclusive books in viral video share.google/6EA5isHLFQBP...
Eugenecists are so stupid Trump already has like 5 kids
The vague feeling of "unsafe" is what 50+ years of criminal justice policy is based on White ppl's sense of vibes are more important than objective reality
Movie you watched more than six times using gifs
Yeah it was supposed to be summer vacation but during Hot Commie Summer if you correct me I'll have you denounced as a revisionist pushing bourgeois deviation
"What did you do on your dinner vacation?" "The usual. Beach. Family trip. Grilled a little. Drove financial and political elites to their knees in fear the working class would wield actual power. Also saw a couple of movies and read the book I've been putting off. Good times."
Ngl... "Hot Commie Summer" sounds pretty dope
"I have heard some people say that without hope, change is impossible. That is an outright lie. The truth is that the people whose work you most admire have done that work even in the total absence of hope" 20 yrs as organizer Yes to this
"But hope is a hammer. It is valuable only if you do something with it." No warning or anything This line just jumped out Now I got to sit here with my feelings
If his name isn't EP Barkson then the world is much worse than I thought
BE SO BRILLIANT NONE OF YOUR ENEMIES WOULD DARE LOOK AT YOU.
Happy Juneteenth
There has been a concerted effort to delegitimize human rights by getting sections of the population to believe that it doesn't apply to all ppl This ruling is part of that effort The NYT is part of that effort
We shouldn't assume this Instead we should assume the opposite Whatever kind of support is being organized needs to be backed up
Totally Part of the reason I went back to school was to figure it out
It was harder than I thought
Personally, I was trying to figure out how the mess was created
Way back in the day I walked with amnesty intl When a gov police took ppl w/o charge or trial and sent them to an unnamed place we called it "disappeared" That just makes more sense to me than kidnapping
In a Waffle House in rural Tennessee John Prine playing and the server has a Palestinian flag on her nametag I say I like it and she says free Palestine If we ain't winning it ain't for lack of trying
Forgive if speaking out of turn, but as a historian I can say you don't have to be a historian to see that giving a law enforcement agency a massive budget, impunity, and the message that the Constitution doesn't apply anymore has been and is, on the whole, bad for Black people
I've been politically involved for more than 30 years, was a front-line organizer for more than 20 years That book changed my life Beautiful piece of work that I can't recommend enough
Not taking anything away from Senator Padilla because he was treated atrociously But I JUST want to remind everyone that the Congresswoman LaMonica McIver, a Black woman, was just indicted for just asking questions at an ICE detention center in her state Keep that same energy of support for her

Self defense was a central part of the civil rts struggle & there are great books on this but that's different than the Malcolm/MLK interplay
Thank you I mean this sincerely but I don't think you understand the role of self defense in the modern Civil Rights Movement Malcolm/the NOI critiqued the 63 March for sure & integration but I don't see what role that played in the voting rts or civil rts bill
hey! Haymarket is making our book No Cop City, No Cop World: Lessons from the Movement FREE in ebook form for the next 12 days! hopefully it's very clear this book is not about making money (& it won't 😂) lol so please tell everyone to download it if they want!
Find an event in your area to demand David's release.
Historically it also makes sense when you consider the various power movements in the late 60s-70s He's right the CRM waved the US flag but that changed The Black Power movement and other liberation struggles absolutely did not How much of that history is influential here tho I don't know
Kevin's mistake here is assuming that the protestors are concerned with the racist claims It seems to me the primary objective is protecting their community In that context this makes total sense
I hear this a lot and as a former organizer and current historian of social movement I don't understand it What were the sides you're talking about? How did they interact with each other? Most importantly, what factors from these "sides" contributed to the success you're talking about?
Illegals, illegal immigration and illegal immigrant are political terms created by fascists to convince you that some ppl don't deserve rights
I believe I'm about a 90% mixture of coffee and spite Not sure about the other 10% yet
Ruwa Romman supports abortion Meaning her statement is true
Interesting It also strikes me that both biologic essentialism and blame the parents rely on individual causes and not, say, hyper isolated society lacking basic supports
You have mischaracterized both his statements and mine
T and others may/may not be right but what they just gloss over is if they are out means helping ppl survive a genocide is illegal AND you shouldn't do it Don't help Anne Frank cuz you could go to prison The pile on is a bandwagon of folks whose entire political program is to just shrug
To summarize: Democrats must abandon the idea of human rights Only Fascists get to decide who deserves rights This is the only way to win votes from ppl who occupy a political space that doesn't exist Also, base building isn't a thing so don't consider it
The difference btwn an elected doing nothing for public safety while transferring all resources to policing vs an appointed doing the same are minimal
That is something a bot would say
