Something has really bothered me about the Gloria Steinem discourse—something that's not really about Gloria Steinem. So, I wrote about it.

We grieve the worlds we’ve known and what it felt like to live in them.

I can't believe that the response being offered to the fascists trying to steal an election is that people have to turn out in historic numbers to prevent this. Do people not hear how bonkers this sounds???

For years, people have asked @tanuja.bsky.social and me how we built and sustained Understory, our spiritual and emotional support group for activists. So we made a toolkit to help others build spaces of their own.

It's important to understand MAHA, like MAGA, not as a proposal to improve make your life better but to make you feel like it's better. Pure aesthetics. You can feel better because your cultural signifiers (raw milk, red dye) are recognized while you're physically dying from lettuce-born diarrhea.

The whole job of organizing is to replace yourself, to make a million new leaders. In this respect it could not be more different from the way most Americans engage with politics.

Our goal is to develop leaders

Labor organizers must prioritize developing new leaders in order to grow union density and winning new workplace fights.

BREAKING: Activists have shut down multiple intersections throughout downtown Washington DC in opposition to Trump's attacks on workers, DC Home Rule, climate, and international peace. The actions kick off #MayDay events across the country.

Activists hold a banner across an intersection that reads "Fight Fascism, Free DC"

Activists hold a banner across a street that reads "Healthcarae not warfare." Additional signs read "No War, No ICE, Free Palestine" and "No War for Israel," and "No War on Iran."

Activists hold a large banner across a street that reads "Fund People & Planet NOT WAR" and "Free Palestine, Free DC, Free Us All!"

Activists hold a banner across an intersection with the U.S. Capitol in the background. Banner reads "Workers Over Billionaires"

Happy #MayDay! We at IC are in solidarity with @criticalresistance.bsky.social, Black Alliance for Just Immigration, @detentionwatchnetwork.org, and many other groups in demanding that ICE be abolished. Scroll through these graphics to see just what we mean! #NoICE #StopICE #AbolishICE (1/2)

This May Day, groups are mobilizing around demands to abolish ICE—but what does that mean?

No ICE means...Not one more dollar for ICE, Border Patrol, or Homeland Security. And repeal the billions they were given last summer!

No ICE means...No more hiring sprees for ICE, Border Patrol, or Homeland Security— AND no more collaboration with other agencies for immigration enforcement!

No ICE means...No more immigration detention facilities, warehouses, or holding cells—AND closing existing detention facilities—including Dilley!

Most Americans are oblivious to the fact that the US helped "liberate" the Philippines from Spain in 1898 and then decided to keep it as a colony in one of the most racist & bloody conquests in US history. Just read the incredibly genocidal captions (see alt-text) in this popular book from the era.

GATLING GUN AND GUN CREW.
Every American feels a natural sense of pride when he sees the class of men who are behind our guns--tall, handsome, splendid fellows, with lofty brows aud thinking faces. These men are the product of free institutions.

FILIPINO PRISONERS OF WAR CAPTURED REAR SAN ROQUE.
When at rest these people rarely stand or sit down, but, on the contrary, squat like animals, this peculiarity being one of the indications of their low state of civilization, The whole nation is not worth the life of one American soldier.

GROUP ON FILIPINO BOYS AND GIRLS
Some of these children have the African cast of countenance, but there is no tinge of negro blood among them. They are distinctly Malay with occasionally a mixture of Papuan blood. As American citizens they are hardly up to the mark.

Title page of the racist 1899 coffee table book “Our Islands and Their People.”

It's hard to square "Marx was an accelerationist" with the attention paid to things like child labor and women's exploitation in Capital. I agree he saw the potential of harnessing productive forces but that's not the same thing. Relations of production matter too - and I'd argue they're paramount.
