Fighting fascism requires a realistic analysis of power and force. The right-wing shouldn't feel they can reward their killers and motivate others to kill for them without any consequences. I wrote about the importance of unrelenting actions for @prismreports.org. prismreports.org/2026/02/04/f...

Another way out: Power, force, and far-right rewards for killing

The far-right’s celebration of killing and the state’s complicity in it show that violence is one of America’s sustaining forces

“The last word about revolution was not already written, nor will it be written if we willingly hand ourselves over to forces working to make sure they control what we think.” Columnist @williamcson.bsky.social explains why resistance starts with choosing how we listen, not just how we speak.

“The mechanisms of anti-Black state violence, criminalization of Black motherhood, systematic denial of land + housing rights, + exploitation of Black women’s reproductive and domestic labor are not unique to Brazil—they are fundamental features of settler colonial capitalism across the Americas.”

On Aug. 30th, I’m teaching a hybrid workshop linking the spiritual + political for #BlackAugust w/ EndState ATL + @decolonialfc.bsky.social! We will consider what political prisoners can teach us about spiritual discipline and dedication? Register: bit.ly/WriteforBlac...

When we say Black, we mean EVERYBODY Black.  Blackness is not one story, one language, or one flag. It spans across continents, cultures, and histories — including the voices, brilliance, and resilience of Black immigrants in the United States.

Widespread contempt defines the USA these days. The most heartbreaking and tragic situations often seem to get less sympathy than they once did. Instead, many responses center on unflinching callousness and despicable scapegoating, pushing the country further into its spiraling downfall.

We’re co-hosting a Black August Writing Workshop series! Fiction writing against cop cities, George Jackson and persuasive writing, and linking the spiritual and political. Register to join us online or in-person: bit.ly/WriteforBlac...

There are too many people in the US arguing that they want others abroad to be massacred and destroyed by an administration they feel is “responsible” enough to massacre and destroy.

Today we honor the life and legacy of Toni Cade Bambara-a revolutionary Black feminist, mother, filmmaker, and scholar-activist. We give thanks for her many contributions, courage, and foresight✨

Do not let the world look away. Keep fighting, keep telling our stories—until Palestine is free." - For the last time, Hossam Shabat, from northern Gaza. 23 and he knew to leave a death note.

Truthout@truthout.org · last yr.

Israeli forces have killed Hossam Shabat with a targeted airstrike while he was driving his car in Beit Lahiya. Shabat, who was 23 years old, had become well-known for his reports from northern Gaza amid Israel’s total siege on the region.

Care is complicated, gendered, misused. It is often mobilized to enact violence, not assuage it, yet I cannot surrender it. I want acts and accounts of care as shared and distributed risk, as mass refusals of the unbearable life, as total rejections of the dead future— @hystericalblkns.bsky.social

You can’t “expand access to IVF” and support fetal personhood at the same time🫣 If embryos are “people” from conception, this raises the likelihood of criminalization related to the destruction of embryos, a natural part of the IVF process.

People are taking much of this about what the “Founding Fathers” wanted and “checks and balances” too far. This moment is the fulfillment of many of those men's visions. There's no point in pretending they were what they weren't. Fight how you can, but don't reinforce white supremacy in the process.
