The relationship between Capitalism and Authoritarian govt are abusive.
There are 4 common factors enabling people to leave abusive relationships:
1. Recognizing the pattern of abuse.
2. Accepting support.
3. Protecting children.
4. Fear and exhaustion.

The law is a weapon the wealthy wield against the worker.
When they use their law to break our solidarity, our solidarity must instead break their law.

The vibe shift today is, I think, due to the fact that New Yorkers were on the offensive instead of the defensive.
Usually with protests, demonstrators have to defend the space, defend their right to march, etc. They get beat up and pushed around and antagonized into chaos and trauma.

I know where these stew pots are in my community.
In a better world, this time of year there's just giant perpetual stew pots in each neighborhood, (probably 2-3 to accommodate different diets, allergies, etc) that anyone can get a bowl from.

Let's suppose a local fascist politician owns a fast food franchise. Now let's suppose someone we're going to park in the drive through of that Fascists fast food franchise. What would be something fun to read into the box where one is meant to order?

There really is no force on earth like the teamsters. When they decide to shut it down it's shut down. Nothing moves.
Solidarity with @teamsters.bsky.social , who sanctioned our strike nationwide and won't be delivering food, picking up trash, or bringing packages across picket lines! ✊🔥

We don't have to quarter the kings troops. This is pretty basic stuff y'all.
Idk if I'm right. Here's what I think I'm seeing:
Police are using her lawn as a staging area. She wants them off. The say she's obstructing them and they'll arrest her. She keeps repeating that it's her property and she won't let them on it without a warrant.
They stay!

If you think about Israel as an American Ulster in the Middle East suddenly the direction of influence and power actually makes sense and you stop doing antisemitism and start doing anti-Zionism

The US is very much the senior partner in this relationship and thinking otherwise is crazy conspiracy stuff that conjures up old antisemitic tropes.
This is a good example of obvious bullshit and why conspiratorial antisemitism makes you dumb. No, it doesn’t actually make sense to think the DHS gov account is managed out of Israel. that’s actually a really stupid thing to think.

Trump is finding the degree of racist shit that white America won't laugh off.
For perspective, the last time a majority of white people voted for a Democratic candidate for president was in 1964 for Lyndon Johnson.

Some questions about the Alaska Permanent Fund:
1) Is the Alaska permanent fund a Socialist program?
2) Could another state (or county, or town) establish something similar (obviously not around fossil fuel development)?
