@assignedmedia.org really must correct the record on this. Queer people in the Bay Area know the truth. Wiener still has not spoken out about the terrible police violence during Pride & Trans March stands by those who escorted Scott out of the event. He wasn’t welcome for a host of reasons. Fix it!

A friend reached out and asked me to post this for them. The media have been relentlessly attacking Trans March and painting what happened last week as rank antisemitism. One of our own, @assignedmedia, joined the ranks of those pushing this dangerous and faulty narrative. 1/

Trans kids are kids. They deserve to play sports with other kids. If we want to get into issues of fairness - I'll have and win that debate, I already took down Destiny - but with youth sports this is about so much more than some non-athletes view of "what's fair."

This an key observation which needs more attention - a lot of San Francisco centrists aren’t Dems because they believe in the platform - they’re Dems because the GOP brand is unelectable in California. Ideologically many of them hold closer kinship to the legacies of Reagan and Dubya.

The factories aren't coming to the US because of this trade war. Factories take years to build and significant investment. No one is going to make that commitment to making higher-cost goods with American labor when they don't believe the tariffs will hold.

Smaller businesses have less of an ability to handle uncertainty and shocks like this. When they start folding, big corpo market share goes up. Wealth inequality turbo charges. This is part of the plan.

PEACE POLICE ARE POLICE! This is an important resource you should read and share with your comrades. How Protest Marshals Sabotage Liberation and Protect the State, by some abolitionists in LA: trueleappress.wordpress.com/2024/03/05/p...
Cover of zine “peace police are police HOW PROTEST MARSHALS SABOTAGE LIBERATION AND PROTECT THE STATE
DECEMBER 2023RESISTANCE AS LIBERATION: FREEYOURSELF
Nothing about peace policing is necessary. We dont need to rely on specially designated people who are given authority to keep us safe. We each possess the authority, judgment, and autonomy to keep each other safe. This is a responsibility we should hone collectively. We do not need to rely on marshals to block off intersections: we will do it on our own. Our hands and eyes are as good as theirs. Our voices are just as loud. Let every protester take on whatever role they can. By participating in the process of keeping us safe, we can both ensure that our protests are secure and grow everyone's skills and instincts.
In Blessed is The Flame: An Introduction to Concentration Camp Resistance and Anarchonihilism, author Serafinski describes efforts at violent resistance and sabotage within Nazi concentration camps. They explain: "The nihilist concepts of negation... resonate deeply with these acts of sabotage, offering a framework through which we might think about acts of resistance not as a means of liberation, but as acts of liberation in themselves."
By taking action yourself, you are liberating yourself even for just a moment from the grip of the state, from police control, and from hierarchy itself. At a time when political and economic possibilities are so bleak, these acts of liberation are meaningful, beautiful, and mobilizing. They should be encouraged and held up! We should teach about and defend our right to such liberation at every turn. Peace police strip us of the learning and liberation that can be won from protests, instead reproducing the hierarchies, fear, and discipline that are used to maintain oppression.
The most beautiful moments of a protest are when police are afraid, perplexed, or on the run. The purpose of peace policing is to mitigate all that. When we depend on peace police to mediate the state's governance of a protest, we sacrifice our autonomous power. We fall into a position of dependence, as tho..

Coverage of Klein and Thompson’s latest book is abundant. While book tours are positive by their nature, some reviews of Abundance are shedding light on crucial gaps in their “road map” to the future. With our own review forthcoming, we found these takes worth highlighting:

As the Left in California fights fascism at the federal level, we must also resist the rightward shift of local Democrats. San Francisco Democrats continue to embrace right-wing policies while wearing the mantle of social liberalism. We can’t continue letting them get away with it.

You cannot address affordability in housing without addressing inequality. Any effort which does will be doomed to fail as American's buying power continues to shrink. The current ideology of the abundance movement means further redistribution to the wealthy. It will make things worse.

I will once again repeat that I hope, whenever we get through this bout of American fascism, that there isn't a New York Times on the other side of it. No other paper of record has so eagerly paved the way for this current moment as thoroughly as the NYT did, and they're doubling down. Get bent.

Fun reminder than the war criminal John Yoo, who wrote the torture memos leading to widespread waterboarding, is still a tenured endowed faculty chair at UC Berkeley Law. It's great to see Berkeley Law speak out here but they should really clean their house. It's been almost two decades.

Nah man I'm pretty sure using encrypted chats to illegally circumvent record keeping requirements when discussing a military strike targeting among other things, a cancer ward, is pretty easily the worse thing here. Lemme know when they kill civilians in the cover up.
