Anarchist "exuberant." Really into exploring the roots of things and expanding degrees of freedom. Incurable woke moralist. Floating metal sphere. “Radically uncool.”

Hey, I wrote a book.

Did The Science Wars Take Place?

Covers the history and philosophy of a fight in the 80s & 90s between some postmodernists and scientists, with an eye to anarchist interests and lasting political influences among the far-right.

Local police stood by while neo nazi Jake Lang pepper sprayed people from the back of a Uhaul, then the cops attacked protestors. All in defense of a concentration camp staffed by fascist gestapo filth. This is Minneapolis.
Tayler Mitchell said he was pepper sprayed by Jake Lang as the Jan. 6 rioter drove by the crowd of anti-ICE protesters outside the Whipple Federal Building in a U-Haul.

LOVE all these makeshift traffic circles popping up in Minneapolis! Great way to literally slow down the ICE siege and occupation of Minneapolis, St Paul and the surrounding areas. T/y @minneapolis-spring.bsky.social for sharing and your work! @wesburdine.bsky.social @normcharlatan.bsky.social

“Renee was not the first person killed, and she was not the last,” Becca Good said. “You know my wife’s name and you know Alex’s name, but there are many others in this city being harmed that you don’t know — their families are hurting just like mine, even if they don’t look like mine.”

Shit like this is what I'm talking about. Just the latest example of someone who doesn't know anything about the blockades, understand their purpose, or see their success. I've seen ICE turn around and not enter a neighborhood. I saw it with my own two eyes, on the ground in Minneapolis.

As someone who was there it was clear that ICE intended to fire teargas on the labor march, directing shots over the heads of those closest to the building and firing munitions directly at the crowd. They even chose munitions that would have the widest possible effect.
Shameful that the Portland Mayor said that “outside agitators” were responsible for triggering ICE’s assault on thousands of union members last Saturday. Then @pdxoregon50501.bsky.social threw out the ED of @jwjpdx.bsky.social for holding the mayor accountable.

Metry and her husband of 4 years go to DHS to get their I-130 in motion. "Good news" a DHS employee told them, the form to start her naturalization was approved.

DHS employee asks the husband to follow him through a secure door. When it locks behind him, ICE detains his wife to deport her.
EXCLUSIVE: Terez Metry was 13 when her family fled to Tennessee from Egypt in 2011. Then, they left her behind. She only recently discovered she had an order of removal from 2011. But she was following the legal path to citizenship. On Monday, at a routine DHS meeting, Metry was detained.

I feel like Los Angeles is a place where people expect ICE to happen because the kidnappings have been happening to my home city for decades, so there’s less media attention to it now. and I want folks to see that in LA, Latine students are organizing major protests & the police are attacking them

ICE told nurses this Minneapolis man “purposefully ran headfirst into a brick wall.”

What actually happened is that they pulled him from a car, beat him so viciously with a steel baton that he had 8 skull fractures, 5 life-threatening brain hemorrhages, and couldn’t remember he had a daughter.

Should be noted that the state of Texas has seen both a mass neo-Nazi massacre in El Paso in 2019 as well as a neo-Nazi arson attack against a synagogue in 2021 - an attack which followed anti-Semitic rallies organized by the Goyim Defense League (GDL). hoodline.com/2023/11/aust...

So the reason Wright is factually wrong here as well as just being a cunt, is that sex assignment is a social process. "Assigned female/male at birth" isn't a "woke" synonym for "biological sex" but a thing that is done to us.
Most people can go their entire lives without realizing they're intersex. So Colin wants someone born and raised female to suddenly abandon her entire identity in her twenties when they get a chromosome test for sports despite having female genitalia as well?

None of this makes any sense.

When neo-fascists began to be followed and recorded, it was Chip that was the one who made the first moves. He gave us the blueprint that antifascist researchers go by today. Thank you, Chip, we will take it from here.

Sometimes I sympathize with Trump, because it probably is genuinely very confusing why you can talk about purging the lifeblood of the nation of foreign filth and nobody cares, and then you post some dumb racist video and everyone starts yelling at you.
