Yeah, this is really it for me. This really sums up everything about the fascist death drive, the utter illiteracy of conservatives driven by nothing but aesthetic, and the unthinking masculinist bravado underlying it all.
The male urge to fucking die in a frozen wasteland to own the libs.

Also, if there is a guy who is consistently doing the minute taking and agenda writing and room setting up and cleaning for the love of god tell him about estrogen and save "him" a few years of misery.
Who takes notes and does the dishes for the revolution is a political matter. Look around you at your organizing meetings. If women are always the ones keeping minutes, assign a man. If women are always volunteering to get shit going, assign some men.
I think @sarahjeong.bsky.social said it's because they devalue women's labor and a LOT of this Scary Logistics stuff comes from people who don't understand that basically all of the civic life they enjoy is created with the help of free labor, largely by women.

Also worth considering that a lot of these guys think "loneliness" is "wait what happened to the giant lady who gave me hugs and the lunch that always magically appeared on the table at noon"
A lot of the Male Loneliness Epidemic can be traced back to the fact that most cis dudes don’t participate in communal logistics.

It's really distressing the extent to which in all of this Silverio Villegas González, the first man to be murdered by ICE in the streets, has been almost completely forgotten
Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

For all the focus on Rambo cosplay, *this* is what an uprising looks like - masses of ordinary people coming out, seizing space and building barricades out of whatever the fuck they can find.
It is incredibly difficult to subdue a city once ordinary people start doing this shit.

For my upcoming book's final entry, I want to examine the claim that "the gender binary is colonial", which depends a lot on the scholarship of Maria Lugones and Oyèrónkẹ́ Oyěwùmí.
So let's take a closer look at their work, shall we?

An Irish-American woman has composed a song about ICE to the air of "Come out ye Black and Tans". It's on TikTok, and also SoundCloud.
The chorus line about JD Vance is terribly accurate.

"patriotism" is the word you use for nationalism when you want to distinguish and elevate it to levels of naive romanticism you can't muster while you look at a history book with clear eyes.

Victor Manuel Diaz was kidnapped from Minneapolis. He was my neighbor and he died in an American concentration camp. He was not "illegal," he was a human being made in the image of the divine. May his memory be a blessing, and may the rest of us fight like hell until we stop this brutality.
This is the sixth death in ICE custody in 18 days. This isn’t enforcement, it’s a system that cages people, outsources care, and shrugs when they die. Abolish ICE.

I'm sorry, if a white woman is bringing up a black woman's drug use habits (unsubstantiated in this case) when trying to do a takedown of her to imply something nefarious about her, you can just write that white bitch off as transparently racist and move on. She deserves a curb and nothing more.

I guess we should start by talking about the MFFC chat. Set up in 2024 soon after the rioting, the chat paid members to target mosques and police cars.
