Everyone will say why they lost and honestly I have no idea, it’s probably a ton of things, but I do know that we are going to need to recruit a lot more people to build and sustain the local infrastructure and networks necessary to protect each other

what’s wild is that y’all aren’t willing to storm the capital to defend yours. so i think you actually *are* going back

We live in a society that loves feel good stories about people coming together to help members of their community that are in need, but scoff at the idea of building a system based on that very same concept.

I didn’t think a president could come close to the horrors of the Bush regime in my lifetime until Biden. His legacy will be one of sheer terrorism, barbarism & genocide. A war criminal of the highest magnitude. Tragic he won’t spend the rest of his days in the dungeon he belongs

2nd term of Obama is when I realized how much I’d been propagandized as a citizen of the US empire 1st term of Trump is when I realized how deeply unserious Democratic leaders are Biden is when I accepted the USA can’t be redeemed & learned nothing from MLK but hollow quotables

Thinking of Tortuguita, who was in a tent when their life was was taken by the state two years ago. A few miles away just days ago, Atlanta killed an unhoused person with a bulldozer as he slept in a tent. Even mistakes speak. These are chapters, not footnotes in the Book of ATL.

I really want us to get to a point of understanding that not supporting Kamala doesn’t make you a Trump supporter. That genocide they supported was enough for some of us to not support. That the onus was on them to run a winning campaign. The Dems did not do their job.

if we're defining a constitutional crisis as a breakdown in the rule of law or the erosion of constitutional protections, then we’ve been in one for a long time (see: US prisons.) now, that breakdown is just becoming more visible to people who were never directly targeted before

The family of a 16 year old who was sexually assaulted by an Atlanta cop after she got in a car crash is suing the entire department, arguing that APD leadership has created a culture of impunity. This is far from the first time. COP CITY CANNOT FIX THIS ajc.com/news/crime/tee…

I don’t care how bad the economy gets, if you join the police you are a class traitor, an enemy of the people, and a fool for trading your humanity for proximity to oppressive state power.

I can't call myself an American and not put my body on the line. For me, our government-funded destruction and slaughter of families living in Gaza is an attack on justice, common decency, and what I had thought was the American way. The American way that Superman used to

We are being left very little choice but to acknowledge that all principled struggles combined share a common enemy & only our combined forces can overpower them. They profit from our labor, our fear, our ignorance, our apathy, & from our infighting.

A huge part of what’s holding us back right now is too many people refusing to let the old world die. It will never again be like it was before Trump (which wasn’t that great 🥴) Let go of the old paradigms like Democrat v Republican. These parties are antiquated zombies.

People lean into doing the same things they’ve always done because it’s what feels normal & most comfortable But at some point you have to accept that those days are gone This is not 20th century U.S.A., this is the American colonial project fully collapsing on all our heads

hey! don't fall into the good protester bad protester binary! to the state there are no good protesters! don't do their propaganda work for them!

Again, I support open revolt against tyranny, I support everyone engaged in open resistance, I support distributing supplies to everyone engaged in open resistance I will not participate in these nonsensical non-debates about how to properly resist genocide & fascism

Every action we witness coming from the oppressor’s side right now reflects weakness, panic & implosion, not a strengthening. But this is a battle of endurance. We must pace ourselves.

And please remember to obscure the faces of your fellow protestors if you are posting videos. They are building a database of people with flock cameras and facial recognition. The law only applies to protestors, not to the abusive thug police. They will ruin your life.

Capitalism is where you’re rewarded for being a self-centered psychopath.

We have people drunk on power, high on religiosity & a variety of other substances sitting on enough weaponry to end the world. This is extremely serious. Anyone advocating the use of “nukes” in any way should be physically restrained & barred from speaking.
