You can call my spouse a Nazi all you want and troll bait him to soothe your egos but communism is not only the principled position, but the position that led to the most substantial action on the left. You’ve all been brainwashed and indoctrinated from birth against it.

But Americans of all stripes, including us Black folks frankly, learn to walk around living with anti-Black violence as a mundane feature of every day life that yes is bad but is not remarkably bad compared to newer iterations of the same shit But y’all it is in fact remarkably bad

If you accept that the genocide that concerns you isn’t the only one at hand then you have to start asking questions about your own responsibility and complicity in the others But also importantly there is an opportunity for solidarity, in realizing the power in your numbers who oppose this shit

It’s weird how much it upsets people when I talk about how the American apparatus has had and continues to have a genocidal attitude toward Black people and its not because they’re upset about the genocidalism, it’s that they don’t want to confront their own normalization of anti-Black violence

many of the worst covid minimizers are upper middle class americans bec for some reason they want to be perceived as the average "normal" person instead of the reality that their lifestyles have built-in mitigations they take for granted

Nurul Amin Shah Alam's death is inhumane, deeply disturbing, and completely avoidable. Nearly blind and unable to speak English, he was dropped off alone in the freezing cold by Trump's Border Patrol agents at a donut shop five miles away from his home.

Omg. People are screenshotting screenshots of Covid conscious Twitter saying it’s anti vax and I just have to say that if you think Covid conscious Twitter is anti vax, you need to check your reading and listening comprehension.

Wild to generalize Eric Adams to all Black New Yorkers. If there are no Black New Yorkers with radical politics qualified for deputy mayor, then that speaks to even deeper discrimination within city politics that absolutely needs to be compensated for by appointments.
