Harry Cleaver @harrycleaver.bsky.social · 29/09/2026NB: these are only the RECENTLY missing & murdered! Imagine what it would look like if photos of ALL the indigenous women & girls murdered since Europeans invaded the Americas could be displayed. 😡 001
Harry Cleaver @harrycleaver.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Those who are not predatory criminals all want the "rule of law" but where we differ is over what those laws should be, who they should protect and who they should sanction. Under capitalism, those with money pay lawyers to write laws for them, buy politicians to pass them & pay cops to enforce 'em. 000
Harry Cleaver @harrycleaver.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Schools should never HAVE "control of classrooms." Classrooms should be controlled by students and organized so they have whatever resources they need to learn whatever they are curious about. Of course, every place could become a "classroom," if they were open to and organized for kids to learn. 020
Harry Cleaver @harrycleaver.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Well done, none of Trump's ICE/Gestapo should be allowed to hide behind anonymity. Expose them all. 000
Harry Cleaver @harrycleaver.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Appearance: doing something for the unemployed. Reality: making the labor market function better for capitalists. Capitalists should have to come looking for workers instead of workers having to go look for someone to hire them and provide them with some money to live on. 010
Harry Cleaver @harrycleaver.bsky.social · 29/09/2026The only effective rebuke would be a rewrite of the Constitution that eliminates all the loopholes that have made the corruption possible. But then, that's only the beginning of the changes needed to replace our pseudo-democracy with a real one. 000
Harry Cleaver @harrycleaver.bsky.social · 29/09/2026"Rape culture" = patriarchal culture, where men dominate, abuse & rape other genders, even their own, when no alternatives are available. 020
Harry Cleaver @harrycleaver.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Instead of contributing to the capitalist use of race to divide us, t'would be better to accurately mock the culpable, e.g., capitalist imperialists and colonialists who invaded Africa, stole its wealth and exploited its peoples. 230
Harry Cleaver @harrycleaver.bsky.social · 29/09/2026Screw the debt. Just cancel it. Jubilee! Spend the stolen money on what people need. It's what ALL money should be spent on - until we get rid of capitalism and money. 000
Harry Cleaver @harrycleaver.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Stopping the "pollution" of the ocean requires far more than ending the use & abandonment of commercial fishing nets, but it's a good place to start. Won't only protect whales but dolphins and the myriad ocean life caught by capitalist fishing factories and discarded because not profitable. 040
Harry Cleaver @harrycleaver.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Monday is scary because you have to go back to work - unpaid if you go to school, paid if a waged or salaried job. In both cases, you're subject to someone else's agenda & orders. Thanks for the adorable owl. 😊https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHHAbze03Z4&list=RDlHHAbze03Z4&start_radio=1 150

Harry Cleaver @harrycleaver.bsky.social · 27/09/2026And you know what? If we don't defeat the racist, misogynic White Christian Nationalists, it's gonna get a LOT worse for women. Read: Katherine Stewart's MONEY, LIES & GOD (2025). 021
Harry Cleaver @harrycleaver.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Good choice! But there's a third "side": either liberate kids from incarceration in schools or pay them wages for all the work they do putting up with teacher-bosses & curriculum designed to turn them into obediant workers. 010
Harry Cleaver @harrycleaver.bsky.social · 27/09/2026You'd think that knowing how dogs respond to shepherds' sign language might suggest to more people that if THEY learned sign language they could teach their dogs as this woman has done. Next step: learning the dog's sign language! 010
Harry Cleaver @harrycleaver.bsky.social · 27/09/2026Having Putin & his ilk as enemy makes sense. Seeing "Russia" as your enemy makes no sense at all; there are lots of Russians who fight Putin. Conflating governments & the entire population of countries plays into the hands of those who use nationalism & patriotism to divide us. 020
Harry Cleaver @harrycleaver.bsky.social · 27/09/2026There's no such thing as "Americans in general" or any other nationality for that matter. Slurring the entire population of a country (or state) plays into the capitalist ploy of using nationalism & patriotism to divide us. 010
Harry Cleaver @harrycleaver.bsky.social · 27/09/2026We used to have seven years before being incarcerated in schools to be disciplined & trained to follow orders of future employers. Now they are putting kids to work at TWO? And bragging about it? 120
Harry Cleaver @harrycleaver.bsky.social · 27/09/2026If you have any doubts about this, read it's Project 2025 (or any of its previous "Mandates for Leadership", each full of racists and misogynic recommendations.) 141
Harry Cleaver @harrycleaver.bsky.social · 26/09/2026"Make more jobs"? More jobs = more exploitation, more alienation. Even the "progressives" remain firmly ensconced within capitalism. Workers have fought, instead, for less work & to spread existing work & jobs, so everyone could have an income, NOT so everyone would work. 051
Harry Cleaver @harrycleaver.bsky.social · 26/09/2026True, but billionaires are only the very top of the income/wealth hierarchy. The same is true for the wealth of most capitalists. The problem is capitalism, not a handful of billionaires. Indeed, they are useful in illustrating the injustices of the system. 020

Harry Cleaver @harrycleaver.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Good idea! I did that once at the University of Texas when my debate opponent failed to show up. It was fun to enunciate HIS ideas while sitting in his chair and then critique them while sitting in my own. Demonstrated I understood clearly the very ideas I was critiquing. 030
Harry Cleaver @harrycleaver.bsky.social · 24/09/2026Good! All the efforts of racist, misogynic White Christian Nationalists to impose their own brand of religion on schools SHOULD be resisted/refused by ALL teachers & school adminstrators. 020
Harry Cleaver @harrycleaver.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Say it loudly & clearly: ICE = Trump's Gestapo. This is fascism in action, just like in Nazis Germany shortly after the Nazis takeover of the country. After immigrants, they're coming for political opponents, then trade unionists!

Harry Cleaver @harrycleaver.bsky.social · 21/09/2026The only thing that keeps me from getting a baby goat is knowing they need their own kind, so I'd be morally obligated to get several. I've got the grass but city laws prohibit it. *sigh* 020

Harry Cleaver @harrycleaver.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Yep, a lot like housework & schoolwork. All that time (& energy) is stolen by making workers to the work of making the labor market function. Imagine the contrary: jobless workers sit at home and capitalists have to come to them offering jobs, from which they pick and choose. 😊 030
Harry Cleaver @harrycleaver.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Reminds me of my Australian Shepherd who reacted in a similar manner to my daughter's nine rats who he let crawl all over & around him. Good memories.😊 010
Harry Cleaver @harrycleaver.bsky.social · 19/09/2026The anti-Trump sentiment is fun. But nationalism is a diversion cultivated by capitalists in every country to divide people so they don't unite against their common exploiters. It's just one form of competition designed to turn people against each other - all too often to get cannon fodder. 192
Harry Cleaver @harrycleaver.bsky.social · 19/09/2026 Look on the bright side. There's at least a chance that if you have the misfortune to watch what passes for "news" on those networks, you won't have to watch videos of the lies being spouted in the White House. Hopefully less air time for all the liars. 031
Harry Cleaver @harrycleaver.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Nothing new here. Almost all so-called "regulators" are picked by and serve the interests of the industry they are supposed to regulate, which is why so few restrictions are ever placed & those few rarely enforced. Only mass public pressure ever makes any difference in what they do & don't do. 000
Harry Cleaver @harrycleaver.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Palestinians only want "from the river to the sea". Zionists want "Greater Israel"! 000
Harry Cleaver @harrycleaver.bsky.social · 17/09/2026The first authority most kids deal with is parental. When benevolent, they go along with it - for a while. But eventually they realize how establishing their own individual being requires rebelling, saying "No!" and figuring out how & where to go from there. Same with ALL authority. 010
Harry Cleaver @harrycleaver.bsky.social · 17/09/2026"pointless slaughter"? No! Not pointless, a tiny number of people profit from this slaughter of sentient beings and buy off politicians so their violence is permitted & legal. No difference, really from their counterparts in other wings of the flesh industry, e.g., ranchers & slaughterhouses. 011
Harry Cleaver @harrycleaver.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Too narrow, Steven. Too focused on the personality of the man, rather than the set of policies he's been trying to enact, policies crafted by the racist, misogynic, White Christian Nationalists at the Heritage Foundation & others of their ilk. 020
Harry Cleaver @harrycleaver.bsky.social · 14/09/2026"doesn't know? More likely, doesn't care. NB: how DEI is now totally detached from its original meaning and now simply serves as a culture war slur on anything the fascists don't like. 030
Harry Cleaver @harrycleaver.bsky.social · 14/09/2026Concentration Camp? Yesk! No euphemisms, just calling a spade, a spade! "Hostages"? Given that they're being murdered &/or deported, that terms doesn't seem appropriate. Prisoners? Certainly! Victims? For sure! 020
Harry Cleaver @harrycleaver.bsky.social · 14/09/2026"ICE standards"? By all evidence there have never been any, other than maximizing the terror inflicted first on immigrant communities and then on the wider population, so folks don't resist the onset of fascism. 010
Harry Cleaver @harrycleaver.bsky.social · 14/09/2026It's "all you need to know about [THE PREVALENCE] of racism, white male patriarchy and white supremacy." Once recognized & the denial of their existence rejected, there's a great deal to learn & teach about how they function and what the results are. Recognition is only the beginning. 010
Harry Cleaver @harrycleaver.bsky.social · 13/09/2026Been there. Beautiful. There's a great book on HOW these wooden churches were built to last hundreds of years: NORWEGIAN WOOD details the joinery, organization to drain water, & the whole thing flexes in the wind! 051

Harry Cleaver @harrycleaver.bsky.social · 10/09/2026The world has NOT "gone mad", but British politicians have obviously been bought-off by Zionists! Sadly, they are far from alone as many in other countries, including the US, continue to support Zionist genocide in Palestine & now Lebanon. 040
Harry Cleaver @harrycleaver.bsky.social · 10/09/2026There can be no doubt that politicians who enact changes that benefit workers are better than those who do the opposite. At the same time, least we forget: Mamdani is doing so within an overall framework which he accepts: capitalism with all its exploitation of humans & the rest of Nature. 040
Harry Cleaver @harrycleaver.bsky.social · 09/09/2026He had "1,000 hours". How many hundreds of thousands of hours have capitalist media given Trump & HIS minions? Because they only care about profits from ratings, they give endless airtime to those who make the most noise, even without being bought-off directly. 030
