What we must all remember from the Gaza genocide is that the international system is rotten to its core and needs to be completely replaced.
We cannot accept a system where Western governments and leaders can commit genocide and war crimes with total impunity.

“No Kings” is great , but we really don't get a functioning democracy back until we internalize, bone deep, the instinctive response to this and every other statement like it: “I don’t care what that rich guy thinks.”

Anyone proposing that an official be allowed to revoke the passport of a citizen for criticizing *this* country would be rightly regarded as batshit insane and deeply hostile to this country's laws and traditions.
Proposing that they can do that if we criticize some *other* country?
Fuck. That.

What are you blathering on about? “We knew what the right would do Democrats fell for it” fell for what ? What is it that you wanted them to do that they didn’t do What do you Oliver think needs to be done?
The minute Kirk died we all knew the right would do this and yet a cavalcade of Democrats fell for it, including Newsom and Polis. Why the fuck after decades of this are leaders in the Democratic Party so fucking stupid?

Thread, on how LA and MS are sending NatGuard troops to DC even as homicide rates are higher in many of their own cities, and even as Trump guts federal funding for any and all programs that reduce crime but don't use a gun.
Social control, not safety. Over and over and over and over.
Social control, not safety. Over and over and over and over.
Gutting such programs for crime control, said @johnpfaff.bsky.social means "your focus is clearly not about reducing crime, it’s about intimidation and social control. And this is made all the more clear by where federal troops deployed — not where the crime is, but where the cameras will be." 5/5

The problem is that any form of technological innovation that occurs under the existing regime of fascism, surveillance capitalism and empire will be used to further the domination of an inhumane elite.

They are doing Defund The Police in reverse: Gutting the social safety net and giving unlimited power to a vast, violent gestapo to deal with the consequences.
With this vote, Congress makes ICE the highest-funded federal law enforcement agency in history, with more money per year at its disposal over the next four years than the budgets of the FBI, DEA, ATF, US Marshals, and Bureau of Prisons combined.

What good is “order” if there is no justice. Without justice there can be no peace. Peace produces “order”. “Order” cannot be forced to create peace. The fascist right wants order for order’s sake and holds it above all else.

I don't care if it's bad sloganeering: we need to abolish ICE, we need to smash the entire carceral immigration system with a fucking hammer. We have come to a point where it's legally okay for absolute thugs to hold you in confinement for weeks with less process than even the pettiest criminal.
Everyone should notice that they are VERY deliberately deporting precisely the people who are attempting to work legally within the system.
The whole line about how "I'm just against illegal immigration" is bullshit. It always was.
