Cop City activists organizing in Atlanta are facing new forms of repression. "Often the purpose of subpoenaing an activist into a grand jury is more for classic state repression purposes than actual investigative purposes.”

so a lot of people are talking about the 4b movement.

a lot of western women, specifically younger ones, who seem to have largely heard about it through social media via other western, non-korean people, or by articles that cover it with a tinge of orientalist exoticism.

if i may, some thoughts:
🧵
If you want to know where young American women are at, the Google search term interest for the 4b movement says it all. (It’s a South Korean term for women who swear off sex, marriage and childbirth with men)

the Democratic Party spends each election cycle courting the right, and every time they lose they create a fictional leftist version of the Democratic Party and claim that’s the version that just lost.
Oh my god we are DOOMED

I'm not willing to fall into despair. I may grieve, sure, but will not wallow in it. To be swallowed whole by our pain is to allow evil to control us, and the only time I will relinquish my control is when I'm dead.

Until then, I fight.

Regardless of who wins our work must continue. We will still be fighting for a ceasefire. We will still be fighting to protect our bodily autonomy. We will still be bailing out innocent protesters and fighting militarized police. Regardless of who wins the evils will persist, but so do we.

Regardless of who wins amongst the ruling elite, we all lose. There is no "winning" when people are consistently left behind or left to die.

"Vote blue no matter who gets crushed beneath the racial capitalist machine" is their true slogan.

Since then, my voting record remains far from the binary machinations of the ruling elite. That very same ruling elite who are now pushing another fascist war criminal as a means to prevent the election of another fascist criminal.

The only time I've ever voted blue in a pres election the candidate became a war criminal (Obama). My first time ever being able to vote & I had put my support behind a man who is now known as the deporter/bomber in chief. It has been more than just a simple stain on my conscience.

The entire Trump “working at McDonalds” stunt was staged. The restaurant was closed for the day. Staff had to go in just so Trump could fake working.

Trump casually discussing his potentially illegal contact with a foreign leader while leaning out a McDonald's drive-thru window, I feel like I'm having a stroke
"Yeah, Bibi [Netanyahu] called me this morning, and he's obviously got things going well."

When Trump is asked if Israel will attack Iran: "I can't tell you that. That I can't tell you. It would be very inappropriate, but they're certainly in a better position."

By the age of 30, you should have:

- an account on Twitter that you can't quite bring yourself to delete but you know in your heart that the site will most likely get seized by an international agency at some point & get closed completely
