The liberal determination that the use of force is forbidden to all only ensures that the people with the least respect for liberalism can or will employ force and no one else will allow it, engage in it, or even know how to do it. This misunderstanding of power is how we got to where we are today.

Assata Shakur’s autobiography is brilliant, and I encourage everyone to spend some time with her poems. My best friend Tim teaches Affirmation every year to high school freshmen and it sticks with them heavy for years.

this happens quite a lot also on the ground, the centrist will offer management skills
they know how to build the database, how to do the socials, how to apply for a permit for a protest
what they don't know how to do is take critique from women of color, they don't know how to hear no

What centrists are offering across the Western world is the opportunity for the right to consolidate their gains as hegemonic. They’re offering managerial competence in service to reactionary aims.
Dehumanisation as policy.
It ignores people's actual lives and experiences in favour of some sick idea that migrants are just resources to be used and discarded at will.
It is incredible how Labour has become, in practice, the most anti-immigration government in decades.

This is handled and I’m grateful to everyone who kicked in. I could not tolerate this local musician being penalized for doing something brave and beautiful—not when they helped make music that kept us strong while ICE fired less lethals and drove cars into us.
This activist's guitar was destroyed by ICE today. ICE fired multiple rounds of rubber bullets at us, and the guitar was struck. I am trying to raise $800 to help replace their instrument, which they rely on for gigs. I bet someone out here can straight up cover the cost. DM me.

the most recent experiences with a look at union finances in chicago relates to teamsters
basically, if leadership cannot provide the accounting for dues and/or the dues are used to provide no service to members (think ghost payroll not failed efforts), then we're looking at embezzlement
