People who run as “Democrats” are not socialists. Reminder, it’s the DEI confederate party of genocides in amerikkka, Korea, Vietnam, Somalia, Guatemala, Iraq, and Palestine.

Abolition as in abolish the idea of peaceful “protest”

In a recent interview, Dr. Johanna Fernández details her political genealogy. She notes that her mentor, Dr. Manning Marable, encouraged her to write a history of the Young Lords. Both Dr. Fernández and Dr. Marable gone too soon. bcrw.barnard.edu/political-or...

The thing about the O.G. Communists and Anarchists is that they actually planned and carried out coordinated attacks against fascists instead of writing letters to their electeds, tsars, colonial administrators, land owners, and slave owners. May we deepen repeatedly on socialism

The 'War on Drugs' and 'War on Terror' are facets of an internal colonialism informing U.S. foreign policy. In this week's Rattling the Bars, @dylanrodriguez.bsky.social discusses the roots of state violence, white reconstruction, and the struggle for their abolition. Tune in: youtu.be/bopIHKHy7gY

Distinguished professor Dylan Rodriguez — @dylanrodriguez.bsky.social — speaks with former political prisoner and Black Panther Mansa Musa about “the horrifying truth” behind the prison industrial complex — and the politics that “dilute the power of radical movements trying to dismantle it”

‘Mass incarceration’ is a liberal myth. The truth is far worse.

“The masses are not being policed, targeted, and incarcerated,” Distinguished Professor and author Dylan Rodríguez says; “it's a targeted war with asymmetrical casualties.”

Socialism is when the people actually capture and dispense justice on fascist genociders. “Sorry, I can’t arrest him” is bourgeois liberalism en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yugosla...

Democracy is not a staged “election” when the oppressed provide legitimacy to ruling class tyranny. It is when millions converge and physically de-install fascism. South Asia (Bangladesh, Nepal, perhaps now India) revealing what mutual aid and democracy could mean.

“We understand [politics] every time a school has no teacher, a hospital has no doctor, or a recruitment exam is cancelled. Politics is not something we watch on television. It decides whether we get an education, a job or a chance to build a better life”.

“Democrats appear slow to recognize that ideologues on the left are attempting a hostile takeover of the party,” James Kirchick writes. In looking for a way to reclaim control, he argues, they could find inspiration in British history:

That health care is only possible for the 10% of Black women with for passports & international travel; that the united states waged war of blockade against Cuba for leading in life expectancy for Black women & children; that Black Panther women were tortured & jailed for fighting for healthcare.

Over the years, many of us have had the privilege of hearing Ashanti Alston speak on Black anarchism, political prisoners, Zapatismo, and lessons from organizing. With the help of @williamcson.bsky.social we've compiled his writings, speeches, and interviews into a volume we can all learn from.

Black “liberals”: build cop cities to wage war upon the Black toilers in amerikkkan cities, use cop armies to kill & displace Black unhoused people, fund genocides against Black people in DRC, Palestine & Haiti. How many different ways can they show us what side of the plantation they’ve chosen?

Four people have died at the hands of ICE over the past eight days. Jesus Manuel Arenas-Silva died on July 13 while being transferred between detention facilities in Georgia. Here is an archived version of the official ICE release, which is surely riddled with lies: archive.is/nkREK

I’m interested in any political imagination for accountability. It has to be proactive & retroactive. It has to be spectacular. And, ideally, it would leave so many of them broke that it actually becomes a deterrent. Being poor is truly all they care about not because they don’t care about prison.

It feels ridiculous to be told my entire life the importance of reducing my energy usage and switching to stuff like LED bulbs and then read reports of energy prices spiking in many US communities due to data centers.

We should absolutely be thoughtful about survey design, including original and replication studies. However, I contest the validity of "in silico" tests of survey design. They represent linguistic plausibility, not actual beliefs of people. A good primer on the epistemic harms of synthetic data:
