A real “democracy” would be direct (unlike representative “democracy” under capitalism), and therefore wouldn’t allow for social systems of domination to thrive like they do in our current society. And the rule of the young by the old is called “gerontocracy” (for those curious).

Everything you’re seeing right now is not just an outgrowth of the Supreme Court of the United States. It’s an outgrowth of the nation-state model itself. Time to move beyond this state, and states in general. Time to usher in a direct democracy. For a democratic, free world.

Yesterdays authoritarian decision by SCOTUS has just made the lives of many Americans more difficult while already being in a state of crisis. However this is not a moment for despair. This is a moment for radical commitment to the struggle. nbcnews.com/news/us-news/l…

This is not "democracy".

In June of last year, BOTB Journalist and writer @dlmeech92 attended a distro for the houseless organized by Space City Anarchist Organization. Head to our YouTube channel to listen to his interview with two members of the encampment being served and Spartacus of SCAO. youtube.com/watch?v=YYgwrB…

What is there left to say in regards to police brutality? After years of "listening and learning" combined with failed "community policing reforms," there is only one way forward: we need total abolition of the police & their carceral institutions. (1/13)

There will be no mass protest or direct action in Houston in response b/c Houston is structurally designed to capture and diffuse our rage. Downtown Houston is one massive grid; without sizable numbers, protesters will get kettled by police. We’ve seen it before in 2020. (4/13)

There is no point in holding these performative protests if they do not lead to direct confrontation w/ the institutions we seek to abolish. Standing in front of the Downtown courthouse or city hall is not real confrontation & does not strike fear to power. (5/13)

The other factor that prevents the mass direct action we need in Houston is the sheer size of this city and the lack of accessible transportation and infrastructure. Our communities have grown weary of driving long distances to mobilize over and over again. (6/13)

What is needed is an asymmetrical & decentralized resistance, and that requires both courage & careful planning. What we know for certain is that since the George Floyd uprising, protests in Houston have continued to ripple outwards into its suburbs. (8/13)

RIP Tyre Nichols. RIP Tortuguita. We struggle in your name. In the names of every person who has lost the ultimate freedom of their very life — we will remember & honor them, and abolish these institutions of oppression in the pursuit of our collective liberation. (13/13)
