We need to get it broadly understood that Stephen Miller's ethnic cleansing will result in a permanent metastasized immigrant carceral state and paramilitary warfare on US streets that goes on *for years.* The internal logic of his agenda dictates this of necessity. newrepublic.com/article/2041...

Strange sort of happiness getting rejected from adding to your buddies commissary in prison, because someone else already contributed today, like yay, glad he's getting support and WTF u means 2 people can't contribute In a day?

Poetry snippet from: i believe in living. By Assata Shakur i believe in life. And i have seen the death parade march through the torso of the earth, sculpting mud bodies in its path i have seen the destruction of the daylight and seen bloodthirsty maggots prayed to and saluted

@govpritzker.illinois.gov owns every arrest and act of violence against protesters this morning. He is aiding and abetting Operation Midway Blitz by allowing state cops to do this. He tells us to film ICE. His cops have shoved me around for filming this morning.

The MSNBC commentator saying that most political violence has historically come from the left just once again showed how we suffer from failing to learn history. Lynching, pogroms, race riots, the political violence that ended Reconstruction, and against the Civil Rights Movement. Come on.

A reminder that after years of speaking out against Epstein and giving other survivors the courage to come forward, Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre died by suicide in April at the age of 41. Let's not forget that there are real human tragedies behind everything we're discussing.

Supreme Court says the president can’t abolish student debt, but he CAN abolish the Department of Education. This isn’t hypocrisy. It’s end times fascism—a fatalistic politics willing torch the government and incinerate the future to maintain hierarchy and subvert democracy.

When it comes to the threat of ICE, immigrants and others have been saying this for months and organizing against it for years. Read this @mskellymhayes.bsky.social interview with @silkys13.bsky.social, executive director of @detentionwatchnetwork.org, at @truthout.org truthout.org/audio/the-au...

truthout.orgThe Authoritarian Machine Is Growing — and It Won’t Stop at Immigrants“Fascism and authoritarianism are deployed through law enforcement,” says author and organizer Silky Shah.

ICE will be the vehicle, the gestapo empowered by the President, to enforce his will, first among vulnerable undocumented people, then among legal immigrants, then among political rivals, then among citizens who speak out against the Trump grift.

It's strange the grief one feels, having built and maintained and restored other people's property (with its attendant pride in the craft/attention) coupled with the sting of not (probably) never owning one's own property to enjoy.... Anywho, here's a rockwall I'm fixing....

As long as a relatively few men own the sources & means of life-they will corrupt our politics-they will enslave the working class-they will impoverish & debase society-they will do all things that are needful to perpetuate their power as the economic masters & political rulers of the ppl.- E.

Yes. And they’ve yet to correct it. The entire story is based on the police affidavit. That’s called stenography.

Yesterday's @nytimes.com article said that guy-with-backpack-rifle withdrew the rifle from HIS OWN backpack and ran toward the crowd while appearing ready to shoot. Is the entirety of the highlighted part 👇 wrong? www.nytimes.com/2025/06/15/u...

WEB du bois talks about what enslaved workers did as a general strike. It really changes the narrative away from one of white saviors to one of Black empowerment. This can be understood without diminishing the bravery of northern troops, white and black, citizen and immigrant

It's worth reflecting today on what it took to end legal chattel slavery in the US. And it's worth remembering that the work stoppages of enslaved workers in the south crippled the Confederacy and were the largest and most effective labor action in US history.

A lot of folks need to pause and speak gently to themselves. Admit to yourself, "I'm afraid right now." Sit with that for a moment, understand what reflexes it's triggering, and that those impulses don't necessarily apply meaningfully to anything that's happening.
