If a leftist politician’s message has resonance, it’s because countless people (outside of elections and campaigns) have worked together to create a shared understanding of their conditions. Left politicians use these *already existing* conditions to attain office. They DO NOT create them!

I’m a stubborn cranky anarchist about every single elected official and always will be. I got shit for it when AOC first won office and time has only ever validated my position. Every politician is there to co-opt your power and energy: that’s their role in the system.

In Nepal, protests earlier this month culminated with the toppling of the government.
To get a clearer understanding of the background of the insurrection and the dynamics within it, we interviewed Black Book Distro, an anarchist collective and library in Kathmandu.

they want to use sex as a social practice (of domination, but not the fun kind) to shape the world in specific ways, toward the ends of cis male supremacy, white supremacy, patriarchy, the state, and capitalism. they want to be the only ones who are allowed to use sex.

it's a mistake to use framing in which "sex = good, no sex = bad," because this is also framing that benefits rape culture. sex is neutral, it is not even really one definable "thing" but a cluster of social and interpersonal practices of desire, bodily interaction, and yes sometimes power

“To say "the situation must not become violent" is to suggest that an endless string of state-sponsored murders of citizens by police does not represent a violent situation; that the application of violence so far has been appropriate, or at least undisruptive to the normal order.”

You can be as peaceful as possible, the state will still fucking kill you
Remarkable.
MSNC: "I want to reiterate this has been 100% peaceful."
Seconds later, LA County sheriffs start firing on the crowd.
Yet again, "law enforcement" deliberately escalated.

Don't blame the people resisting fascist violence for "provoking" it. That's the logic of abusers. The violence is already there (and Trump will always find an excuse); some people are just brave enough to resist and fight back.

How did so many people attach to this idea that if Black people take to the streets, that's how the state will suspend normative law and deepen overt fascism? The state doesn't need Black people protesting or any alleged excuse for that matter to do what's already happening in plain sight.

anyway "they're provoking people to protest & direct action so they can justify martial law" is the most straightforward version of telling people to comply in advance possible. it costs you nothing to just shut up & not denounce protestors or spread wild rumors or conspiracy theories.
