Way too many people in this country asking how Germany deNazified are going to be very unhappy when they learn they kinda didn't, we paid for a bunch of their Nazis to come over here and do shit like run our space program.

Taekwondoin Tina Sugandh and her black belt kids, who always compete in their masks, warn about #LongCOVID— why they support #MaskTogetherAmerica and @publichealthaction.bsky.social. “This is for all that say you can't compete to your fullest potential at athletic events with a mask on.”

It’s because yall let the police murder and maim Black folks for decades
So now they figure they’ll do it to everyone else. They’re using the IDF/cop tactics. Same DARVO crap they’ve used in our communities for decades.
When Black folks rose up— most ppl were silent.
Silence is compliance. So…👀
Our government is murdering the citizens of this country. They are doing it without any checks on their violence

Renee Nicole Good’s last words “I’m not even mad at you dude”

Alex Pretti’s last words: “Are you ok?”

They want you to believe these helpers were terrorists.

What did ICE say? “F*cking b*tch” and “cool it’s like call of duty”

"These formerly passionate organizers’ self-directed revolutionary potential, and their development as people, is sabotaged as they dedicate countless hours to building an organization’s membership list, bank account, and social presence."

Please read the attached zine!!!
PSL (Party for Socialism and Liberation) are present in many larger cities. “Well-known for predatory behavior like swooping into rallies for victims of police violence to recruit for their group, or leveraging popular causes to fundraise for themselves.”

While we're at it, if you are still talking about what Harris might have done had she not been a loser, this late in the game, all you are saying to me is "if the fascism were congressionally approved, I would be at brunch right now."

Get angry because someone like you was murdered by the state.

Stay angry because the state murders people who aren't like you every day.

I guess as a disabled, queer, trans person I've been in a bit of a bubble.

For years & years my social media has largely been a mix of survival funds requests and videos of genocide being actively funded by our tax dollars.

It's not computing for me that this is new to some of you.

I was just reading words from Thich Naht Hahn and looked up through the kitchen skylight to see a bald eagle circling above my house.

How auspicious! I feel much less alone now.

Racism & ableism are connected.

Biden said, "Don't worry, only certain people will die from COVID. Take your mask off and go back to work. (Pls stop protesting state killings.)"

Then he took that social support money & put right into cops & everyone said yay blue guy.

At the end of the day, the Black Lives Matter era was about whether people should be killed in the street, and lots of people decided yeah and put those little blue flags on their cars. It spread to everyone because it stopped for no one.

Our nervous systems are not designed to take in brutal news and video from across the world for years on end.

An overloaded nervous system will put you into a freeze state. Chronic stress is deadly.

We need you in the fight. Take care of yourself.
To put an even sharper point on it...

The moral call is to BEAR witness, not to consumption.

In other words: to testimony, not passively offering eyeballs to horrific content.
I say this with love: no.

Every person who doubts the atrocity should witness, so they understand.

There is no need to watch if you read a description of the atrocity, register its moral significance, and commit yourself to speaking out against these horrors.

Once again: Focusing on their lack of training is a mistake. With "better training," their violence would simply cost more, and they would still kill whoever they wanted, but make it look more professional — to make people more comfortable, the way many of you are at ease with local police violence.

I can't trust politicians who are anti-trans. Not because I'm "only searching for perfection" which is what centrists will be accusing me of for the rest of my life, it's because if you're not pro-trans you'll be garbage on lots of other issues too. Being anti-trans NEVER exists in a vacuum.

I've never seen a population more united. If people can hold onto that unity, if people can accept that different people will have different ways of confronting fascism, if we can remind NGOs and orgs that they can join but not control the resistance, then, well, people here will write history.

We could have decent living standards for every single person on Earth for just 30% of our current resource & energy usage, if only we'd act decent & share.

Let's get it together because I'm ready for Garden of Eden living. This is too much stress.

My therapist mostly sees people that are at risk of state violence. She's having to make the tough decision to not take insurance anymore because insurance can audit records and she wants ppl to be safe and protected.

You need the kindling of community building, the fuel logs of political education, and the oxygen of mutual aid.

Then hold ready for that incendiary moment when a general strike match becomes the fire of revolution.
Today is, among other things, a reminder that you don't get a general strike by posting that we should have a general strike.

You get a general strike—on the rare occasions you do—by the long slow slog of building organizing power with those around you in response to local conditions.

DISABLED PEOPLE TOLD YOU ALL THIS WAS HAPPENING

EUGENICS --> FASCISM

If you chose "back to normal" over community care, I'm sorry but you're part of the problem, too.

COVID very much still exists, kills, & disables. Do better.

WEAR A K/N95 IN PUBLIC!
MAHA doctors elevated themselves, and RFK & Trump to power, by claiming that COVID mitigations would lead troops in the street.

Now, they are part of an administration putting troops in the street.

Remember those who enabled on the way.

My latest for SBM.
MAHA Gave Us MAGA 2.0.  Remember the Enablers.
When the history of this sad era is written, MAHA doctors will be disgraced pariahs and cautionary tales.  Everyone else should be remembered based only on whether they tried to put the brakes on MAH
