I guess I just don't take what people living in other countries say about the U.S. personally. I live in the heart of empire. There's a lot to be pissed off at the U.S. about. I understand their anger.

When our descendents ask about this "dark time" and how we let things get here, we're going to have to explain "everybody just... kind of waited for someone else to fix the problem. Most of us were certain someone else would eventually put a stop to it. And the worst of us took advantage of that."

Respectfully, I am going to whisper to some of our white comrades a truth that should be more widely known: You definitely have some ancestors to be proud of, ancestors who refused white supremacy, and poured out their lives in many of these struggles over time.
Time to claim your true history.

I don’t think people quite understand that the occupation by ICE in the Twin Cities has more or less erased non-white people from public life. They cannot safely exist in any space accessible to the public and moving between private places leaves folks vulnerable to kidnapping by armed masked goons.

Surreal to witness this kind of elite tasteless excess in real time, while citizens are murdered in the streets and we’re on the brink of WW3. I used to think that social media would prevent this kind of inequality from ever happening.

We need to pick up this Overton Window and throw it as far as we can. Stop waiting for shit to “be popular” and start advocating for what is transparently right.

My right wing evangelical family is still posting outrage over pandemic policy forcing kids to do zoom school for a few months. But is fine with this. This generation of US kids is entitled to infinite fury at this wretched country.
I really want ppl w/o Minneapolis connections to understand
You might've heard that Mpls public schools went hybrid bc so many families are in hiding. Well, a coworker just told me that today, during his kid's hybrid class, a kid's apt building was raided onscreen
*Everyone has stories like this*

The problem is that the child porn website is owned by the richest man in the world, who no one wants to pick a fight with, and even less so now that he's aligned with the president of the U.S., himself a maniacal sex criminal. Nothing gets fixed without breaking the political power of big money
I am once again reminding you all that the UK government introduced an Online Safety Act that is effectively a porn ban on most adult porn websites, but is dithering over banning a website that is actually creating child porn.

Remembering today that having your heart broken is a necessary step on the path to becoming fully human. Whichever heartbreak is your first, it’s probably critical that a state break your heart so that you can develop a political imagination. If this is your first, I’m sorry and also welcome.

Most Dems seem to identify as ”Elite” exclusively. They fund the secret police because that vote keeps them socially protected. Personal wealth and personal security are their most pressing concerns. “Bipartisanship” is just code for “complicit”.
