If you're okay with directly helping pillage, torture and kill people with darker skin because you feel you should exist at a certain class position above "poor": that's the Nazi line, and you crossed it.

To clarify on Platner: choosing to serve in a colonial military for multiple tours and then becoming a corporate mercenary is what makes him a Nazi, the tattoo is just extra confirmation. Actual working class people just work crappy jobs and are poor instead of doing that, so there's no excuse.

For folks asking if they've made it *inside* a Home Depot yet as the business has clearly just continued letting agents do whatever they want in their lots, the answer is yes. This is from yesterday in Evanston.

At my local Home Depot today in Evanston, IL. They abducted 5 people in my immediate area.

"No Nazi tattoos ever," is such a low, low bar to clear.

How many strikes against a candidate will it take for people to say "maybe this guy's not the guy" ?

How many strikes would it take if he weren't a white man

We have the utmost respect for DTU standing on principle and refusing to abandon the community they champion. Their program and rejection of collaborationism is why they have our support.

The spirit of Thomas Sankara and the Burkina Faso revolution live on to this day:

a man in a military uniform is standing in front of a microphone and talking about anarco-syndicalism .

Alt: Thomas Sankara is standing in front of a microphone and saying "The frightened bourgeoisie?" while the crowd responds "down with them!"

Because thats who bribes them for those results.

For what its worth, any analogy involving both the "No Kings" protests and the Civil Rights Movement should have the former relegated to White Citizens Council territory.

One may regard city officials as hostages to city capital, whose ersatz confinement is enforced by the police. However, that may be too charitable a description for the consistent inaction, they could simply be willing collaborators.

Harlem Toots @chadstanton.blacksky.app · 11d

Pritzker should be held responsible for the police nominally under his control; that being said, this is going to be a problem for every politician you try to sell us on as a savior. Because everyone of them, and many of their supporters, refuses to actually confront what the police are doing.

Pope Leo XIV has blasted how wealthy people live in a “bubble of comfort and luxury” while the poor suffer. In his first teaching document Thursday, Leo confirms that he is in perfect lockstep with Pope Francis on matters of social injustice.

My spicy take for this moment-

Too many of you do not understand the concept of infrastructure. How systems are built, how systems are maintained.

You want big bold action but haven't committed to the planning and the boring mundane tasks needed to make said action possible.

It never began on 10/7, but with hope, the Palestinian resistance will make sure that date was the beginning of the end.

It's October 7 today.

It's been two years of israeli genocide in Palestine; violence, bombs and images of starving Palestinians, children being ripped limb from limb, all backed and supported by western liberal democracies, who preach "democracy" and "international law" every single day.
