my favorite thing about a texas freeze is the very serious advice from the news and government on how to use a whataburger cup to insulate your outdoor spigots.
it is always a whataburger cup.

The best precedents are the antebellum Fugitive Slave Act and the Rendition of Anthony Burns, both for the actual actions as well as the widespread civil resistance to federal authority

They rolled the dice on immediate fascist counter revolution, rather than continue to build it slowly and steadily. They could've had the whole world. Instead they're destituting the US Empire in order to make tough looking fan cams

My take on the Jan 23 action in Minneapolis is that I don’t really care whether it’s a “true” general strike (we could argue about that all day).
What DOES matter is that it’s a bold and necessary escalation, and local labor leaders are publicly encouraging workers to join in anti-ICE resistance

'Why aren't they in the streets' is answered almost every day in my small town by people in the streets! Rather than asking 'why aren't they in the streets' it's worth asking 'why isn't your media showing them in the streets' and 'who is served by downplaying resistane in its myriad forms.'
The idea that there are no protests in the US and no one is standing up to Trump is proving incredibly hard to kill over here in Germany. It’s become dogma, utterly detached from empirical reality.
I wonder if the people who keep talking like that understand they’re perpetuating regime propaganda.

I don’t know, I just think “now that you’re suffering, I don’t like you, and now that you’re already on the ground, I want to kick you” is the ugliest part of human nature and the work of a life has to include recognizing and trying to destroy that impulse within oneself and broadly in one’s world

i know it stings to come up with a plan for "twitter but for credulous tech troglodytes" only to have the great lord of the tech troglodytes buy the actual twitter and eat your entire lunch and the table it was on while the old and gay rats beneath flee to your half-finished table. but it's funny
personally i don't care what people talk about on here as long as it continues to be stuff that clearly pisses off the staff because they can't make money off it
