I’m going to keep it real and hope I don’t get accused of overstating the issue; children’s liberation is the key to the future you want. The active, and often dismissed, oppression of children is near the root of what ails us as a nation.
I think Baldwin’s quote about “the children are all ours” can be expanded into a very powerful revolutionary praxis. Take care of other people’s children, not just your own. Don’t define yourself as “childless,” the children need you. A community approach to children is central to liberation

The Deporter-in-Chief finally chimes in. Fun fact: under Obama, ICE and Border Patrol’s budgets exploded, dozens died in detention, and over 3,000 people were killed at the border by the bipartisan policy of “prevention through deterrence.”
The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

the people who were scolded relentlessly for celebrating this moment nine years ago have been completely vindicated. punching a nazi in the face now polls higher than any member of congress.

Well, it’s the 9th anniversary of this today. No special reason for mentioning it now, obviously

in these moments, in my view, it is a political and spiritual DUTY for my outrage and anger to be as fresh as if I'd never heard how they shot Fred Hampton in his bed. As fresh as if I didn't know Bobby Hutton was surrendering when they shot him. 1/2

When IS the right time to discuss Jimmy Carter funding death squads in Latin America?

It’s always so fascinating how domestic policing functions the same way that imperialism does. Proliferating weapons is profitable and creates justification for the institutions responsible. “Destabilize, intervene, plunder” is the imperialist playbook, all our struggles are connected
