🏳️‍⚧️ PASSPORT UPDATES 🏳️‍⚧️ We've been keeping an eye on how things play out following the recent development in Orr v. Trump... ACLU has recommended folks wait until at least 6/25 if possible before taking action re: passports, and check their FAQ (linked in our bio) for updates as they develop.

I value earnestness and enthusiasm and willingness to act. unity is harder for us (left grab bag) since we don't wish to control or brainwash - the desire to be free, means we can't use the tactics of the right. we will never be in full agreement but we can act together for a goal and argue later.

material vs information as a base currency. the shift from industrial production and local management of (food, necessities) has changed. I have not yet seen enough writing that clearly lays a path forward, that isn't mired in 20th century idiom. but I will gladly read all such things I can find.

we are in the 21st century and we need modern and future thinkers to proceed standing on the shoulders of giants is fine but we are post industrial and need to figure out a new way of thinking and acting, the end goal of liberation is the same but the method and means have to adapt.

I don't watch that show and I'm missing your point. is it that Dems picked right wing candidates and those candidates obstructed Dem policies that leftists would have been in favor of? is the complaint that red areas didn't have enough centrist or leftist wins in the Senate and Congress?

DOING THINGS ZINE SPOKANE @doingthingszine.bsky.social · 27/06/2025
I'm telling you that none of the people we are discussing right now were chosen by leftists. plenty of leftists did vote for them, but they were Dem candidates. they obstructed their own party.

pretty close, they have ideas like "help and feed other people, provide medicine to the sick, be a community, care about each other, don't be xenophobic" but there's no religion involved . there are religious socialist groups, though, too. plenty of them.

In national elections, liberals like me ask leftists to be coalition partners — hold their noses and vote for a candidate they don't love to beat someone truly terrible. In New York, the shoe is on the other foot. And we should be clear that we're willing to do what we ask of our partners.

If a state can cut of PP, then can cut off any provider. No reason to think that the way this country decaying that some state will decide that a Jewish hospital is "doing it wrong" and no longer eligible. Or to only fund Christian-based providers, not seculars. A pandora's box of bullshit and evil.

Spencer Beswick @spencerbeswick.bsky.social · 18/06/2025
The framing in this piece by @batallonbakunin.bsky.social is super helpful for thinking about anti-deportation struggles: taking concrete action to physically prevent the state machinery from carrying out its program, rather than just symbolically protesting against it.
We anarchists, on the other hand, had no such constraints. Our solidarity with what were clearly some of the most oppressed and marginalized groups in society—workers, people of color, many of them women, escaping from what were some of the most horrendous conflicts in the world at that time—was immediate and instinctive. But through our position of unconditional solidarity with the sans-papiers and the assertion that in the world we are fighting for, no human will ever be illegal and freedom of movement will be for people and not just for commodities, we articulated a position of necessary rupture with the concepts of states and borders. If our demands could not be granted by the state and our objective could not be realized within the framework of its existence, then it naturally followed that we would not look to the state to grant those things.

Consequently, we were embarking on a concrete struggle to prevent deportations and make it possible for people to live where they chose and how they chose. The same stance toward the state applied in this struggle as in our abstract analysis: the state was our enemy, and we were determined to wage war against it within the appropriate context of the time and situation we found ourselves in, in hopes of preventing it from carrying out its objectives. The greater our success, hand in hand with those sans-papiers who were open to our solidarity and methods, the greater our collective power would grow as a movement and the greater the degree of agency, autonomy, and freedom we would be able to realize.We were not making demands, but seeking to force concessions and create realities. Concretely, that meant that deportations are for stopping. To do so, we would attack the state’s machinery of deportation, its infrastructure, and the enterprises that collaborated with it and benefited economically from assisting with the hunting, caging, and expelling of human beings.

We did so out of solidarity, out of conviction, but also with the explicit understanding that despite our privileges and different realities, our struggle was the same as theirs. In fighting alongside the sans-papiers, as accomplices rather than allies, we were also fighting for ourselves:

    “Their situation makes us all more precarious in labor relations, the repression and control developed against them will affect us eventually as well, the hardening of borders is also a barrier to our freedom of movement, because we are also foreigners to this world and we will be pushed further and further into clandestinity (by choice but also by necessity if we are to live our desires) by the constant evolution of the law and the states.”

Don't worry about the broad movement strategy. Find local orgs with deep roots in the community, who don't work with cops, and who have a good strategy for direct action to protect the vulnerable. Tenants unions, mutual aid, ICE response, court watch, etc Volunteer to help. Learn from the elders.

A massive peaceful march is nothing more than an opinion poll for politicians. Politicians will do what they are paid to do. They will use those 50501 protest RSVP lists for fundraising. Unless the movement is sustained through escalation, work stoppage, and direct action NOTHING will happen.

USC law students have started a hotline for people to call when they have an immigration-related court hearing but don't want to show up in person for fear of being arrested/detained by ICE outside the courthouse. The students will help people complete and submit a "Motion to Change Hearing Format," which can allow someone to have a remote/online hearing instead of in-person.
