That's enough about Americans who aren't the subjects of the genocide. What are Palestinians saying? It's not a huge surprise to anyone who has met the spirit of their resistance, but they are not on the side of team "wow haha those protestors are all feds and are hurting Palestinians."

Genuinely not as disappointed in Mamdani as am at all those who refuse to hold elected officials feet to the fire.
He has absolutelv no incentive to deliver on the demands of the Palestine movement if we don't relentlessly make those demands. Meanwhile. Zionist organizations are doing exactly that, applying pressure and getting more and more of what they want, while people who claim to be on the left or support Palestine tell us our strategy should be to shut up.
t's absurd. You see that political pressure works. You see Zionist organizations using i t to advance their interests. Yet somehow when Palestinians do that. in the context of a genocide no less, we're accused of doing AIPAC's iob for them.
There is nothing Zionist organizations would like more than for the Palestine liberation movement to silence ourselves while politicians endlessly cater to their demands
But what infuriates me even more is being ectured by Americans whose tax dollars are funding the weapons slaughtering my people. People who not only refuse to hold their own politicians accountable or do more to stop the genocide, but have the audacity to tell Palestinians to shut up about it.
You don't get to sit comfortably in the country financing the slaughter of our people, refuse to hold your own politicians accountable. and then lecture us about how we're allowed to resist it.

The "mutual aid is actually cashapp transfers" is probably the most disgusting liberal tainting of an anarchist concept ever. No organization, no community, no change or planning. Just 2% transaction fees taken from one poor mother fucker giving to another poor mother fucker another.

Does no one see that "tech critique" is entering a symbiotic relationship with tech fascism where they do very obvious psyops and media tricks, "our side" has hysterical meltdowns to get page views, they wait a little longer and start the whole cycle again? The hysteria is exhausting.

"I truly don't mean to sound like a reactionary right-winger", this is a lie: yes she does. But what I really want to talk about is Jill Filipovic's childish understanding of morality or politics. It's precisely that the murderous empire is here that struggling here is so important!
Jill Filipovic: I truly don't mean to sound like a reactionary right-winger, but if you genuinely hate the United States and think it's the worst most evil country on earth but you are a wealthy person with a job you can do from anywhere... why do you live there?

I don't mean that people who criticize the US should leave. I criticize the US! (I also live abroad, but in some ways that has made me appreciate the US more). I think criticizing the American government is quite patriotic. I don't mean critics of America. I mean the people who claim to genuinely hate America, who also have the resources to live elsewhere. Why stay??

If the answer is “I love my country enough to want to improve it,” great and same - but then why say you hate it and it’s the most evil empire on earth? That doesn’t sound like a place that is redeemable or worth saving.

anyway, due to accidents of history we’ve learned that there was a very coordinated effort to simply extract hundreds of millions of dollars of public money and put it into private pockets on threats and vibes. but saving transit is beyond the pale. got it.

Six years ago, protesters were facing off with federal agents every night in Portland. Ahead of a planned coup, Trump was trying to prove to other elements of the ruling class that he could maintain order solely by means of state violence. Thanks to the courage of Portlanders, it didn't work.

There is an immense amount of bravery Jenny Racicot showed coming out, but also to just openly admit that his campaign's politics was a breath of fresh air, that she was going to vote for him, was pumped by his ads, is getting lost. To set aside a heinous act for a greater good...Unimpeachable.
