“Tonight is his night. He deserved it. He won.”

The result in New York City, if it holds, is a seismic event not just for the city but for the Democratic Party, making the 33-year-old Zohran Mamdani the clear frontrunner heading into November.

Really sucks that people responsible for making laws are so in the pocket of big tech that companies release incredibly dangerous products and we are supposed to just shrug our shoulders and say along with them “can’t interfere with innovation.”

the idea of fingerwagging your way into protest discipline is deeply delusional for a number of reasons, chief among which is that the cops' decisions are among the biggest determinants of how protests ago. it's like being perplexed at people for using umbrellas while ignoring the weather

The horses behaved better than the cops, as they instinctively tried to avoid stepping on the man on the ground.

these protests already have become violent and to pretend that they have not is missing the point. the uprising in LA is exemplary of that. and no, i reject your repeated insistence that i’m “leading” anything instead of presenting ideas to a forum. have a good day

again i’m not saying attempt loyalty shifts with the end goal of purely physical violence, merely organized violence — specifically collective sociopolitical deprivation when we’re talking about shifting the ideological balance of an instrument of power (military, police, civil servants).

My man is a real one:

“…resistance campaigns that compel loyalty shifts among security forces and civilian bureaucrats are likely to succeed.”

i’m not saying jump to defcon 1. we have to consider how we apply nonviolent tactics to a broader strategy. guns are only one part of war.

Mind blown…
It looks real.
It sounds real.
None of it is.
Watch closely — the future is already blurring the line between what’s real and what’s not.
Fascinating, yet deeply disturbing.

yeah the 1% wants chaos in the hoi polloi, hence the shills. they don’t want organized violence. chenoweth’s principles of successful protest movements can be applied to different ends.

North Carolina’s Supreme Court allowed a GOP-backed law to take effect after a lower court said it’s “unconstitutional beyond a reasonable doubt.” The law strips the Democratic governor of power over elections and hands it over to a Republican.

Young Black folks on Tik Tok are saying Harriet Tubman wasn't real.

Unplug everything. We failed these kids. They are so loud, proud, and wrong.

He can go fuck himself, actually.

A memorial and jazz funeral honored 19 Black Americans, whose remains were recently repatriated from Germany where they were used for racial research in the late 1800s.

I really don't like hyperbole. To be honest I think hyperbole's going to destroy all life on Earth.

covid threw into high relief how many working class people are absolutely necessary to keeping society functional, and rather than that sparking a renewed commitment to an economy that rewards such workers, we've seen an elite backlash against even modest increases in their market power
