What's your most ridiculous, newly emboldened political demand? (Absurd answers only.)
a wonderful memory from a few years ago: [scene: a meeting at work] my coworker: did you give a talk at [local high school] recently? me: yup! coworker: did you tell the students about the Lucy Parsons Center [a local leftist bookstore] and encourage them to go? me: ummm

Now that Texas is blue, get the Prarieland 9 released, immediately
I also need to get a lot of people out of prison.

We've argued since 2014 that state power is a hot potato. In a globalized world, governments can't mitigate the impact of capitalism—so whoever holds power loses popularity. It's good to see Trump losing control. But we'll keep see-sawing back and forth between parties until we make real changes.

daylight savings time, but an extra month every weekend where no one has to work
this year's workshop schedule! (split between slides b/c of character limits)
i will never understand the "but he has a family" thing, we all do and yet the people who tear other families apart get to hide behind the fact that they themselves are a part of one
He's basically saying, "Huh looks like you have some extra room in your home office. I, a weirdo fascist billionaire, should be able to claim that room in order to exploit and impoverish you."
go to hell

Bolsonaro, Vucic and Orban out, Flamingo and Cockroach Revolutions, French uprising and Iberian housing movements, Nepal and Bangladesh popular insurrection, Iranian and Serbian movements, these too are heralds of the current moment. We are once again in a time of movement and revolution
