Also, I never will accept that wearing a mask was impeding anyone’s ’freedom’. I still mask, esp at work when I’m around hundreds of co-eds (who are always sick). I lecture for hours in a mask. I still live my damn life.

I'm not going to be relitigating COVID lockdowns or mask mandates. Both were necessary measures that saved lives. If you cannot accept the curtailing of even the minor of freedoms in the name of public safety, you have demonstrated that you do not give a solitary fuck about the rest of us.

I think one reason that prisons, and by extension the entire criminal justice system, are able to be as barbaric as they are is that prisons and prisoners are for the large part invisible. That's why I think PJP is so important for those inside as well as for humanity at large

News: Our summer campaign concludes tomorrow at midnight, which means time is rapidly running out to take advantage of the $15K matching funds provided by generous donors. Thanks to an additional $5K gift from a generous donor, every donation will now be tripled until those funds are exhausted.

communism is not why your rent has skyrocketed. it's not why Blackrock is buying up millions of houses. communists are not the CEOs of health insurance companies nor are they building data centers. they weren't in the epstein files or on his island

On July 13, 2019, Willem Van Spronsen was killed by police while taking action to disable the fleet of buses that serve the Northwest Detention Center, a private immigration detainment facility in Tacoma, Washington. Everyone should read or re-read his final statement today: crimethinc.com/willem

posting this Classic over here in honor of the big man himself. adios bitch

Generations from now, learning that your g g g grandpa/ma was a cop, CO, prosecutor, judge, ice agent, DHS, etc will be shameful and horrifying. Like learning your family owned slaves is today

no amount of peaceful protest is gonna stop armed agents of the state from executing people on the street

My baseline is that advertising is disgusting, it approaches screen smashing existential anger when I'm trying to read a poem online and it's interrupted by the dogshit piles of the internet

If you're part of this massive heat wave, give a thought to all the folks in your community who are stuck outdoors

got mad and spent a bunch of money at a bookstore about it

The Government Doesn't Want You To Read These Zines

We sold out of the first print run! Please expect a short delay for reprinting. These packets of zines are a fundraiser for the Prairieland Defendants! Each packet comes...

firestorm.coop

The Prairieland defendants are political prisoners being held captive by a fascist regime There are raids, subpoenas, indictments targeting anarchists, abolitionists, & anti ICE activists all over the country right now Take this moment seriously. Understand how the state will continue to escalate.

People’s City Council - Los Angeles @pplscitycouncil.bsky.social · last mo.

30 years for moving a box of zines. Des Sanchez Estrada was not even at the noise demo that led to this. The state is attempting to make an example of these anti-fascist political prisoners. We can expect the crackdowns to continue & escalate. Take this seriously. Don't back down

Some liberals are OBSESSED with "private" prisons as though the problem is not simply PRISONS. Folks, the vast majority of prisons in the U.S. are PUBLIC NOT PRIVATE. And they are HELL HOLES. OK? I need folks to stop and actually focus on the PROBLEM which is PRISONS AND JAILS.

"whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it" 🙋🏻‍♂️ I am advocating for abolishing this government by any means necessary

After ICE deported Wendy Hernandez Reyes, it turned her 3-year-old son Orlin over to her sister’s estranged partner, who tortured Orlin and beat him to death. I can’t say what I think should happen to those responsible without violating this website’s TOS. www.washingtonpost.com/immigration/...

I don't want students to think I'm cool. I want them to think I'm cringe and lame as hell and then in ten years think that I was also smart.

So we're 3 for 3 on democrat governors sending the cops to attack protesters against ICE concentration camps. Why would we not view these politicians as fascist collaborators? Or as fascists themselves?

One time I was being raped in prison, and the prison guard saw what was happening and then looked the other way. Guess who I hated more? Now apply this to Trump and to the Democratic Party. If you see evil happening, and you can do something about it but don't, you're worse than they are

2/2 this weekend for "guy in my direct eye line is watching Anaconda (2025) on the plane"

One fun thing about conferences is I let a book or two take a trip across the country just to see the sights before going back on the shelf (did not open/read)

In the hallowed halls of "every accusation is a confession", none loom so large as American capitalists saying " the communists want to take over the world by force and turn you into slaves with no rights"

My favorite professor's contract wasn't renewed 😑 academia is so stupid

saw this on an ACT UP poster from 1988 at the Poster House museum today. the more things change :)

Happy birthday to John Brown, who knew exactly how to handle the south’s “Peculiar Institution”

#OtD 9 May 1921 Sophie Scholl was born in Germany. Scholl became an anti-fascist activist, helping form the peaceful White Rose resistance group and was executed by the Nazis in 1943. Learn more about German youth resistance to Nazism in our podcast: workingclasshistory.com/podcast/72-e...

welcome to the democratic party where a keffiyeh is disqualifying and a totenkopf isn't. please chip in $50 today so we can end fascism

Trying to find any remaining respect for liberals within me so I can discard it but I'm coming up empty 🤷🏻‍♂️
