Some of the dumbest people on webs saw figures like Mumia Abu Jamal and Angela Davis sign a letter in solidarity with political prisoners in Iran while condemning US/Israeli imperialism, and are freaking out about it

4th of the Lie July 4 1-3pm Albuquerque, NM Phil Chacon Park Celebrating resistance to colonialism, capitalism, & white supremacy! Free food, resources, music, & political education.

Supporting people's liberation needn't require that we endorse nationalism. Why, then, is it still so prevalent within anti-imperialist struggles today? In conversation with Ralf Ruckus, Nandita Sharma exposes the link between "the migrant" and the nation from a perspective that aims to abolish both

This could be any one of us. Please consider donating in solidarity with the MN 15!

And... There were no immigration controls in the 15th c. The only "borders" during Vlad's time were meant to keep people trapped inside the territories in which rulers oppressed and exploited them.

Accepting a distinction between "citizens" and "migrants" is how fascism creeps in. Deaths of people in ICE detention have more than doubled under Trump 50 people dead in ICE custody since Jan 2025 Last week's $70 billion ICE funding bill funds it without a single reporting requirement

Anyone who can afford to have a car, a family, a pet (or pets), a decent house with a yard, & healthcare is a member of the high bourgeoise. You can't change my mind.

Trans acceptance must not rely on narratives of us as necessarily agreeable & harmless. I'm a traumatized freak, weirdo, & ideologue. You'd probably be uncomfortable around me. Some trans folks commit abuse & support oppression. We have the same wide range as other groups.

Please boost & support Idris however you can! I greatly admire his vision & clarity. This is part of a coordinated Zionist effort to suppress Palestinian liberation struggles. We must fight back.

Death to Zionism, Christian nationalism, Hindutva, Islamism, & all such supremacist ideologies.

The problem with using Nazi rhetoric & promoting Nazis isn't so much "Jewish feelings". It's *that they're fucking Nazis*. They remain an existential threat even when they're attacking Israel (as some long have).

"I don't believe in nationalism; I'm a citizen of the universe. I'm tired of borders and I'm tired of walls. If something happens to the people in India or Africa—and they're starving to death and dying—then that's happening to us, too." - Gloria Anzaldúa

It's great that half of self-proclaimed leftists are like "All glory to the Resistance!" while the other half yell at you for criticizing Standing Together as Zionist. 🙃

Nazis have got to be loving the rise in anti-Jewish bigotry everywhere, including among leftists & radicals. Expect further Nazi ideas to proliferate in short order.

Democratic socialists (&/or social democrats) have taken r/tankiejerk. Posts that praise NATO as well as those that oppose decolonization & BDS get massive upvotes. Anyone critical gets downvoted into oblivion. Anarchism is no longer welcome in a nominally anarchist subreddit.

We must defeat capitalism & statism so that we can get to actually interesting conflicts between anarchists. We're temporary allies against fascism now to create a future where we can fight each other.

I'd prefer an open-borders, anti-cop libertarian over a closed-borders, pro-cop social democrat. Both would be awful, & I'm not sure libertarians like that even exist anymore.

It's not a coincidence that so many social democrats & even supposed radicals are taking hard right turns in the current moment. Witness & remember.

Years ago, a local DSA leader accused another radical of being antisemitic for a joke I made about smashing a piñata of Bernie Sanders at community event. At this point, I'm not joking & really think we should do it.

I fully support deplatforming Bernie Sanders & everyone else who praises Trump for securing the border. This policy involves horrific violence against folks simply for where they happen to have been born. There's no excuse for pandering to fascism.

"Our enemies are genetically inferior losers!" ❌ "We're productive; they're parasites." ❌ "We're the normal ones, actually." ❌ "We're freaks & outcasts uniting to dismantle the system! Death to power & status!" ✅

I'm forever grateful to the queer-anarchist coworkers who recruited me many years ago. 😍🥰

Some LGBTQ folks today would excommunicate Gloria Anzaldúa for being queer by choice & Sylvia Rivera for going off hormones, deciding against surgery, & getting tired of labels.

Anti-trans bigots pretending to be feminists write disturbing fan fiction about us. They make up a guy to hate. Fight the patriarchy with us instead of bullying & harassing us.

Me: Trans folks don't have to disclose & shouldn't go to prison for consensual encounters. Bigots posing as feminists: *vile insults, threats, dogpiling, scapegoating, & fan fiction about sexual violence*

Bigots pretending to be feminists target & scapegoat us because it's much easier than struggling against patriarchy.

A big problem across the political spectrum is that folks REALLY hate freedom.

"Can a gay man date a trans woman? Can a lesbian date a trans man?" Trans & queer liberation is about freedom. These labels can help us for the time being. We shouldn't let them constrain us. Bend & break them when they do. Be ungovernable. Here's to total abolition!

Intellectual-property laws overwhelmingly serve the interests of corporations & imperialist countries in the Global North. It's wonderful that they remain absent or minimally enforced in various countries. We must remove them completely.

It's disturbing how racist & sexist anti-trans bigots are, including ones who pretend to be feminists when convenient.

When will the aid arrive in Gaza?! All I hear is "soon," "soon," "soon." People in Gaza have been starved of resources in the war zone they've been trapped in for 2+ years. It must move now.

I've never supported U.S. military intervention anywhere & long committed to materially dismantling the war machine on these occupied Native lands. If needed, revolutionaries can redistribute weapons to folks in Syria, Ukraine, etc. as part of that process. Death to empire!

The Mexican Liberal Party—an anarchist organization—hated & fought the Mexican government. They simultaneously opposed U.S. intervention in the Mexican Revolution & pushed anti-imperialism in the USA (where they operated in exile). This serves as an excellent precedent for us.

At Trump's antifa roundtable, they just traced the history of antifa back to the Weimar Republic. They're explicitly going after an organization/movement/ideology that they say started by opposing the original Nazis.

Opposing the USA & capitalism isn't an extreme view but rather a necessary starting point. Wanting to spread sentience & sapience to matter across the universe? Now *that* is an extreme view. 🤖🚀🪐☄️
