I'm sure if we looked through press archives we'd find plenty of articles about South African Boer farmers getting "picked on" by the evil black proletarians, too. Ideology repeats itself.

Massive Blue is helping cops deploy AI-powered social media bots to talk to people they suspect are anything from violent sex criminals all the way to vaguely defined “protesters.”

Durkheim was weird. "Observation might ... establish ... that, with individuals as with societies, from the moral viewpoint the inordinate development of the aesthetic faculties is a grave symptom. Among all the elements of civilization science is the sole one to assume ... a moral character." ⁉️⁉️

"The tariffs themselves...have served to drive oil prices lower...The government’s $37 billion budget for 2025 — with its $8 billion deficit — was benchmarked against an international oil price of $75 a barrel." this is as bad as it sounds. worse, even www.semafor.com/article/04/0...

Any idea that claims that Jews can gain our liberation at the expense of Palestinians, investigate its structure. You will find structural antisemitism in it, and sometimes explicit anti-Jewish bigotry also.

Further, all nationalism is structurally antisemitic, anti-Palestinian, pro-capital. The more Zionist ur ideas are, the more you're filled with loathing for actual IRL Jews - finding us unmanly, rootless, brainy, greedy, neurotic.

Auntie Katarzyna @tantek.bsky.social · 04/04/2025
Left antisemitism is real, and (contrary to what Zionists say) follows definite lines: - Soros, "Israel controls US," & "Jews run the world" theories - Defending "real" capitalism against finance capital - Conflating Jews w/ Israel - Defending killing Jewish civilians Pretty straightforward.

In a move mimicking US actions, Germany is moving to deport 4 foreign residents -- one of whom is a US citizen -- on allegations of participating in pro-Palestinian protests. None of the 4 are alleged to have committed a crime www.972mag.com/germany-depo...

SCOOP: The Trump admin appears to be going into a visa database to quietly change students' immigration status. It's coming entirely by surprise — setting students up to be detained without warning. It's Mahmoud Khalil & Rumeysa Ozturk — on a wider scale.

The ruling-class Jews who promote Israel - they've bought into the system and the Holocaust is in the *past* for them. I fight genocide/colonialism because I'm working class, transgender. My friends are vulnerable. What capital is doing to Gazans, it could do to US. The fight is ALWAYS global.

The first medical transitions were carried out at the Institute for Sexual Science, which had links with the German Social Democracy and spread its influence and practices into Russia. Yet Dan Healey shows that there was anti-trans conversion therapy in the USSR as early as 1924.

Found this clipping from circa 1989 in a stash of old papers. Always loved the “Thank you” at the end.
Far side cartoon captioned “cow poetry” with a cow reading a poem called “the distant hills” to an audience of cows in a library or classroom.  The poem closes with the lines “Damn the electric fence! Damn the electric fence” and then the cow says “Thank you.”

People trying to make struggles into therapy is bullshit, yes. But we do have to face traumatic stress when we do communist work. It's in the room sabotaging us, and we'll never solve the problem by denying it.
