Young people are right to take the streets against the political and economic systems that have sold away their future and ours. Facing the bleak prospects capitalism is imposing on us all, it is right to resist. ➡️ crimethinc.com/2015/05/05/f...

crimethinc.comWhy We Don't Make DemandsThe problem isn’t that today’s movements lack demands—the problem is the politics of demands itself. The alternative is to set our agenda on our own terms, outside the discourse of those in power.

Fuck I just realized if the Tesla flying car ever exists (which it won't but someone else will probably do something similarly clownshit and get it working kind of) we're going to get mass shooters ramming them into buildings instead of doing shootings Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Really hard to overstate just how central AI video slop is to the broader authoritarian project. It allows people to visualize fantasies without having to pay the social costs of such actions, while desensitizing people about the act itself. It's 4chan on steroids w a veneer of respectability.

ProPublica spoke to dozens of people who had lived in homeless encampments when cities cleared them out in “sweeps.” We distributed notecards so people could tell us about the toll in their own words. ➡️ This is what they wrote: https://propub.li/4veRIqA

A worker died at an Amazon warehouse in Oregon last week. For more than an hour, workers were instructed to continue working as the man lay dead. One worker wanted to help, but a manager told them to “Just turn around and not look. Let’s get back to work," according to @thewesternedge.bsky.social.

The latest polls shows that less than 40% of people are convinced that ICE should exist at all. The disparity between the number of politicians calling to abolish ICE and the proportion of the population that is clamoring to illustrates the fundamentally reactionary character of all politicians.

"Abolish ICE" sounded like a radical demand to Democrats, though ICE itself only dates to 2003. Today, it should be clear to even the most deluded liberals that if you establish institutions for the sole purpose of brutalizing people, authoritarians will inevitably use them to consolidate power.

I think it’s weird to call it “the Pentagon.” it’s just strange to have the department that does war referred to as a geometric shape. Newscaster voice: in just a moment the Secretary of Defense will be giving an update on the war with Iran from the Parallelogram

Ostensibly America rejected the monarchy in its founding. Today England is holding a royal accountable while America’s ruling class is above the law.

Trump has now deleted the post, with the White House now claiming, "A White House staffer erroneously made the post. It has been taken down." Karoline Leavitt a few hours ago: "Please stop the fake outrage and report on something today that actually matters to the American public.”

Alex Pretti is a wake up call to every American of privilege. No more letting the oppressed to fight this alone. America is used to seeing the oppressed suffer but when America sees people like themself suffer they pay attention. We have to put ourselves between the oppressors and the oppressed.

What I can say from living through and studying the last quarter century of revolutions is that are two ways basically guaranteed ways to start an uprising: raise the price of food 500% or kill people in the street one at a time over and over and over again. Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.
