It’s awesome that there are masses of people publicly challenging this regime. Yet the racial discourse and anti-leftist and anti-communist politics say we’ve got more work to do. Onwards.

I think these splits in the state are very important. Not because local police or mayors will save us from Trump or ICE, because their conflicted position could be put to use in the context of a wide militant opposition in the streets
Time for a thread of all the things that Stephen Miller and his band of morons are doing to make enemies of state/local authorities.

Let's start things off with some spice for the CPD.

I think we are six to nine months out before the fascists actually consolidate the full state apparatus and become quite hard to defeat. Between now and then, the regime could unravel quite quickly, and some push by large numbers against ICE on the streets could play a crucial role.

Quitting Disney+ and not sure what to do with all that cash? You could pre-order my book and learn all about the many nefarious ways Disney Corp helped build this very fascistic moment in culture!
In other words dont let the Uber fascism of MAGA confuse you about the real and ongoing historical role of Disney in American society and rhe development of modern capitalism. Instead, read The Extended Universe (lmao)

I rarely share organizations in Gaza because it’s too hard to verify that they are doing the work they say they are but I know multiple people who were able to evacuate through the people working on this fund who are funding trips out of Gaza City (it’s $2100 a trip for 16 people).

Frederick Douglas gave his “What to the slave is the Fourth of July” speech at an event put on by the Rochester Women’s Anti-Slavery Sewing Society. Much love to everybody, past and present, keeping tiny community spaces alive while wondering “is there any use in this?”

Philly, would love to see you on the dancefloor early Thursday eve at this party Freedom Side School (one of my fave organizing projects in town) is throwing at Pentridge Station. I'll be closing the night out on the 1s and 2s, spinning house music and maybe even getting a little rambunctious 🌀

Time to leave another platform 😊
NEW: The music distribution platform SoundCloud updated its terms of service to allow it to use artists' uploaded music to train AI.

The change quietly went into effect last year. It looks like a lot of SoundCloud users were caught off guard.
