If you're surprised the Supreme Court is letting Donald Trump run for president, remember it handed the presidency to George W Bush by deciding he won the election.

Conflating liberation for Palestinians with antisemitism sets up the two identities, Jewish and Palestinian, as fundamentally opposed. This is how you get genocide: convince your followers they will be the victims of a genocide if they don't commit one first.

"The rule of law" is a term made up by ppl who want you to believe their system isn't subject to individual whims.

to reiterate, I absolutely don’t blame anyone for feeling helpless and depressed right now - it’s an utterly rational way to feel - but I am saying that it’s gonna be important for us to do what we can to help motivate others to maintain hope in this moment

We've got to get past this idea that governments could be democracies, or that hierarchical systems could somehow be democratic. The purpose of these systems is concentrating power--taking it away from us and giving it to the ppl who own everything.

I keep telling people that solving the constitutional crisis caused by the Supreme Court looks a lot more like changing the locks on the building than it does passing the perfect new law to reign them in.

If you are proud or embarrassed of a country, you might not really know what it is.

A country is not a family. You did not make it. There is no reason to feel any positive emotions toward it, except insofar as you would rather live in one place than another.

Pretty worried that the fascists are gonna win this election in France today. I will say that I think this is good evidence that fascism is not just a ruling class response to capitalist crisis: most of the ruling/capitalist class clearly prefers Macron (and Biden, etc.).

It's obvious that Americans simply need to start operating without regard to the law and assuming they have no rights under the state. All progressive use/complicity with legal rights and other law is just endless squabbling for scraps that turn into poison as soon as they're obtained

If you watch presidential debates and the endless dissecting of them in the news, why? Did you learn anything? Did it influence your vote? If you hate both candidates and wish neither of them would win, there are more productive ways to spend your time. (Direct action and mutual aid maybe?)

I've thought about this, not just how did I radicalize, but also why it took me so long. I think the short answer is causes are not always clear. There are so many explanations and simplistic ones can still make sense.

Just like recriminalizing abortion: men who want power over the ppl in their lives want to enshrine that power in law.

That's the thing. All these industries are highly regulated already, which in practice tends to mean they have all kinds of state-protected privileges.

Reminder that Aaron Swartz was facing 35 years in prison and financial devastation for trying to programmatically download and open the contents of JSTOR, which led to him taking his own life. But OpenAI is going to scrape all of academia and make billions by plagiarizing it.

Power is so divisive this is the kind of bedfellows it creates. I had a friend in Egypt who was almost killed by the military but he still supported the military because the only alternative he saw was to support the Muslim Brotherhood.

there are a lot of ways for the state to suppress dissident speech. one particularly bad one is by having armed agents of the state stand by and do nothing while partisan-aligned thugs or paramilitary groups beat you because of your speech, and then have the DA decline to prosecute the assaulters.

Network resilience matters. When abuse allegations with piles of evidence come out, people will remember what role you played; whether in enthusiastically supporting survivors, running cover for abusers, or staying silent so as not to be seen as rocking the boat.

They're fascists, not "extremists". Calling them extremists is more of this horseshoe nonsense that assumes "extreme" (arbitrarily defined) is bad and "moderate" (believing in social institutions) is good.

That this didn't happen shows leftists won't lift a finger to help when fascists come for folks. Abandoning 25-33% of every given population (disabled folks) to choosing isolation or death by not masking in public bc it's 'too hard' has shown we CAN'T trust leftists to fight for queer/BIPOC lives.
