Prefiguration. We have to imagine a better world before we can live in it. Fascism relies on the foreclosure of the imagination, and the myth that it is invincible and inevitable.

Folks are not upset enough that there were people, both with and without pre-existing conditions, who have been begging y’all to care about COVID-19 for over five years now, who have literally died from their post COVID ailments and the world has just continued to ignore it.

I remember years ago trying to warn a Jewish friend about her. I spoke with a rabbi who offered to talk to her about Zionism. We haven’t spoken since. She was just starting her journey to Judaism after learning her family was Jewish a few generations back. I hope she’s alright…

Look at the date. Disabled people told you. They made too many disabled people.
A tweet from imani on 12/19/2020 quoting Gregory Mansfield about making assisted suicide available before healthcare. Her quote reads: This is what l've been saying, with a massive influx of disabled people from COVID, we're going to see a huge influx of assisted suicide programs and legislation because the system barely worked ahead of the pandemic.

The fact that a second strike like that in an armed conflict is definitely a war crime should not completely negate the fact that *there is no war* and ALL the strikes are cold-blooded murder. The whole chain of command are murderers.

I think, a lot of the time, when we call politicians "cowards" for not stepping up for us, it's actually the case that they never wanted to in the first place. Cowardice implies that they would have protected us, if only they had the courage. I just think they lack the principles.

Creating a military conflict with Venezuela gives this administration a legal "hook" to invoke the Alien Enemies Act. In other words, the foreign war is being manufactured in order to facilitate court deference for its domestic mass deportation policy. It's a Stephen Miller Special.

Fentanyl and coke are the new “weapons of mass destruction” lie. It’s Iraq all over again, folks. It’s always about controlling the oil.
A tweet from Morgan J. Freeman states:
“FACT: Venezuela is NOT a major producer of cocaine.
They do not have large cocaine factories.
They do not produce fentanyl either.
What Venezuela does have is the world’s largest oil reserves.”

Just sat through a big work enmeshment rally meant to tell us all to shut up and embrace AI. Don't worry about your concerns about energy use or drinking water depletion. We talked to experts. We won't tell you who they are or their credentials or anything about them or what they said, but trust us when they say we are “way ahead of the game” when it comes to “sustainability.” No more thinking, tech workers. Only AI. Now shut up and teach copilot how to do your job.

It’s hard to convey just how much Chicagoans are mobilizing against ICE. Don’t want to downplay the harm, or make it seem like a fair fight. But in neighborhoods across this city, ICE is getting chased by people blowing whistles and shouting. People are running TOWARD ICE to protect their neighbors.

I get sad when I see people calling for things like 25a or impeachment. We are past the point where institutional tools can fix what ails the USA. I don't have an answer. We should be suspicious of those who do. Probably mass scale civil resistance is the best option left?
