Some of the dumbest people on webs saw figures like Mumia Abu Jamal and Angela Davis sign a letter in solidarity with political prisoners in Iran while condemning US/Israeli imperialism, and are freaking out about it

Supporting people's liberation needn't require that we endorse nationalism. Why, then, is it still so prevalent within anti-imperialist struggles today? In conversation with Ralf Ruckus, Nandita Sharma exposes the link between "the migrant" and the nation from a perspective that aims to abolish both

And... There were no immigration controls in the 15th c. The only "borders" during Vlad's time were meant to keep people trapped inside the territories in which rulers oppressed and exploited them.

Accepting a distinction between "citizens" and "migrants" is how fascism creeps in. Deaths of people in ICE detention have more than doubled under Trump 50 people dead in ICE custody since Jan 2025 Last week's $70 billion ICE funding bill funds it without a single reporting requirement

Anyone who can afford to have a car, a family, a pet (or pets), a decent house with a yard, & healthcare is a member of the high bourgeoise. You can't change my mind.

It's funny that folks get so angry about the idea that university professors are petty bourgeois. By various longstanding definitions, they absolutely are. But it's not as if there's consensus about the meaning of various class labels. They remain thoroughly murky & contested.

Trans acceptance must not rely on narratives of us as necessarily agreeable & harmless. I'm a traumatized freak, weirdo, & ideologue. You'd probably be uncomfortable around me. Some trans folks commit abuse & support oppression. We have the same wide range as other groups.

The problem with using Nazi rhetoric & promoting Nazis isn't so much "Jewish feelings". It's *that they're fucking Nazis*. They remain an existential threat even when they're attacking Israel (as some long have).

The exec that said "we thought it was farther along then it was" is absolutely the greatest issue right now. Not only is it not capable of doing any of these things on a broad scale, it will do them significantly worse than any employee. Going all in on something to boost stock value that fails.

Attacks on Mamdani for supposedly being "foreign" & having failed to "assimilate" show how racist, incoherent, & oppressive these concepts are. Dude speaks eloquent U.S. English, has overflowing charisma, & spreads a message that appeals to millions of U.S. citizens.

I'd prefer an open-borders, anti-cop libertarian over a closed-borders, pro-cop social democrat. Both would be awful, & I'm not sure libertarians like that even exist anymore.

Years ago, a local DSA leader accused another radical of being antisemitic for a joke I made about smashing a piñata of Bernie Sanders at community event. At this point, I'm not joking & really think we should do it.

I fully support deplatforming Bernie Sanders & everyone else who praises Trump for securing the border. This policy involves horrific violence against folks simply for where they happen to have been born. There's no excuse for pandering to fascism.

I embrace proliferating queerness & the challenge it poses to nation-states. Acceptance & education do increase the number of folks who go against the norms of gender & sexuality. It's not simply a matter of being "born this way" & unable to change. We *are* recruiting! Join us.

Some LGBTQ folks today would excommunicate Gloria Anzaldúa for being queer by choice & Sylvia Rivera for going off hormones, deciding against surgery, & getting tired of labels.

We do a disservice to trans history by remembering Sylvia Rivera simply as a trans woman. She went on & then off hormones, concluding that she "didn't want to be a woman" but wanted "to be Sylvia Rivera" & to sow confusion about gender via "pretending" & "dress up".

"Can a gay man date a trans woman? Can a lesbian date a trans man?" Trans & queer liberation is about freedom. These labels can help us for the time being. We shouldn't let them constrain us. Bend & break them when they do. Be ungovernable. Here's to total abolition!

I've never supported U.S. military intervention anywhere & long committed to materially dismantling the war machine on these occupied Native lands. If needed, revolutionaries can redistribute weapons to folks in Syria, Ukraine, etc. as part of that process. Death to empire!

The Mexican Liberal Party—an anarchist organization—hated & fought the Mexican government. They simultaneously opposed U.S. intervention in the Mexican Revolution & pushed anti-imperialism in the USA (where they operated in exile). This serves as an excellent precedent for us.

At Trump's antifa roundtable, they just traced the history of antifa back to the Weimar Republic. They're explicitly going after an organization/movement/ideology that they say started by opposing the original Nazis.

Opposing the USA & capitalism isn't an extreme view but rather a necessary starting point. Wanting to spread sentience & sapience to matter across the universe? Now *that* is an extreme view. 🤖🚀🪐☄️

Perhaps the most annoying part of the turn toward fascism is being compelled to endlessly argue basic points. I don't have time to push my all my out there & extreme views because I'm stuck repeating "genocide bad" & desperately trying to get by. 😡😡😡

I'm writing up a retrospective on the rise of fascism over the last 10 years of the Trump era, and while I want more nuanced takes, there really is no central and more influential villain singularly responsible for the complete collapse we're in than the media. They created Trump. They sustain him.

The idea that leftists take disability justice too seriously is downright outrageous & itself an example of pervasive ableism. That some radicals have *started* to pay lip service to accessibility isn't why we can't have nice things. Leftist spaces remain overwhelmingly inaccessible!

Reminder that EVERY SINGLE PROPONENT OF GOVERNMENT ACTION is endorsing political violence. Pass a law? Political violence. Raise taxes? Political violence. Fund the police? Political violence. Bomb a country? Political violence. "Normal" political discourse is all threats to murder, kidnap, etc.
