But when you brought it up pre-debate, you would mostly be yelled at online and told to enjoy the camps.

Some of what's now being attributed to the debate was actually already happening before the debate.

Seattle residents! Contact your City Council people before Tuesday to express support for this legislation. It waives codes that currently make it impossible to convert office spaces to residential ones. This will help with the housing crisis!

oh for sure. i think i have the hardest time at residencies with smaller cohorts because the different personalities can clash and make all the shared spaces super awkward, lmfao (the last one i had that was like that i literally just slept for 75% of my time there to avoid all the gossip)

As my comrade Cheryl Rivera has correctly written: “There is no resistance to capitalism that has not been met with batons.” If you don't deal with policing, policing will deal with you.

The last time people went to go protest a Supreme Court decision there was an immediate, bipartsan effort to use tax player dollars to put snipers on Samuel Alito's roof while our favorite pundits went "Brett Kavanaugh has a family :( :(. His daughter must be so scared :( :("

The United States has always been a democracy for some and a brutal authoritarian regime for others, and the effort to expand it to democracy for all has led to a 70+ year backlash culminating in SCOTUS claiming that kings are totes cool and also judges are the ones to coronate them

Again, Black people are an exception here, as basically anyone who stayed in the Jim Crow South has a living memory of living under what amounted to fascism, including the “always walking on eggshells/lack of social trust/long periods of boring endurance/randomized terrifying violence”

Pride BEGAN during a time of anti-sodomy laws. The first Pride was a riot against those laws. Pride is celebrated around the world in places where it is much more dangerous to be queer than here. Pride is not dependent on being ALLOWED to be who we are, it’s a promise that we WILL be no matter what

“‘The crows come to the house and scream to warn us that there is no more water ... it’s our alarm,’ says Ortiz Ramos.” The US border wall cut off wildlife access to a natural spring, leaving numerous species without a water source in the middle of the Sonoran Desert. It’s one of many consequences.

Also, I do not dislike Joe Biden because he has advanced medical conditions that make him unfit to rule. I dislike Joe Biden because it doesn't matter what anyone says to him, he won't stop massacring Palestinians, or slaughtering Black people with cops, our mass incarcerating us.

People pushing criminalization of homeless people want them to die. There are internal differences over how openly to do this or how fast. This isn’t ignorant or irrational—it is ghoulish. The stakes have to be made clear.

I know smut may seem like a frivolous thing to be upset about, but crushing it is part of fascism. Controlling all forms of sexual expression is fascism. Only allowing certain kinds is fascism. Smut peddlers are always canaries in the coal mines.

It's reasonable to be mad at the world! I am! But, on a personal level as (in my case) a climate activist, I get tired when people ignore the work rather than pitching in, and yet it's NOT THEIR FAULT because they are getting absolutely no coverage of positive actions. Online is so skewed. The end

There's a world of people who aren't debating the basics (pollution bad, climate change real) but are taking action at incredibly complex levels. And I mean there's a WORLD - there both US- and non-US-based solutions. There are massive victories. Heroes. And I don't see this work reflected online

the reason they kill oral storytellers, the reason they burn the written record, the reason they ban the teaching of history is because they need everyone to believe that this SUFFERING is all that has ever been possible and is all that we can hope for. don't you ever fucking swallow their bullshit.

a big part of imagining a better future is fighting to REMEMBER and REVIVE the solidarities, the self-organizing, the languages, the ways of interacting with the physical world that have been intentionally destroyed by our current systems of violence! 'broken' is not our default!
