Remember folks, tech billionaires are the enemy—not the American labor movement, and not H1-B visa holders. Keep your focus on the sociopaths destroying human civilization. Don’t fight each other.

100% the thing that people will look back on us like we look back on uranium-glazed glass and leaded glassware are the little plastic containers that people will wash and reuse. every time i see one i can't help but think about how many microplastics get abraded off by routine dishwashing and scrubbing

Nationalism means bigotry, chauvinism, war, and ethnic cleansing. It promises self-determination and delivers tyranny.

Internationalism means we regularly publish articles in seven languages, collaborating with comrades all around the world to pursue collective liberation.

Someone dropped off a massive food rescue haul to our free fridge and community pantry today.

They're not part of my program and we're not sure who's doing it. This is awesome. It means there are others outside of our volunteer group that does maintenance on the fridges and outside of the group that I'm working with to build out our formal food rescue program.

This is huge.

This means we have successfully built post-scarcity *infrastructure*!!!

Folks are using our fridges both to contribute and to utilize. Folks that have nothing to do directly with the core group of maintainers. Wow.

We need to build more free fridges. This one is running out of room.

CNN: “Why are tons of people offering to pay Luigi’s legal costs?”

Mangione’s Attorney: “Idk.. but Supreme Court says billionaires can give tons of money to candidates and that’s free speech. Maybe these people are exercising their free speech”

its really weird how like. if you ever watch any kind of normie content of any kind. like you're watching some thing about interior design. and then they just start talking about "well men are like this, and women are like this" and im like what the fuck is going on. i thought this was supposed to be about interior design???? you flip to a cookery show. and the hosts just unprompted start chatting like "well men like to cook like this, but women? they all like to-" like what the fuck is going on

Growing up people would make fun of where I'm from calling it "cereal." When trying to explain where it was no one knew, so after many tried and failed attempts I started to tell them it was close to the pyramids in Egypt because people at least usually had heard of those. Obviously my age had a lot to do with it, but even as I got older it was very rare for anyone to actually know anything about our culture that they didn't hear or see on the news.

I went over to my friends house the other night who is not Arab and doesn't speak Arabic, and when I got there they were bumping Arabic music. The other day another friend texted me asking what something meant in Arabic because they heard it on Love Is Blind Habibi, and now they're asking me for Arabic mossalsal recommendations lol

Just a few small anecdotal examples but it’s kind of crazy the impacts awareness around
Palestine has had

This is how you do justice to "both sides":

Every photo of Luigi Mangione I’ve seen since the perp walk has him surrounded by cops, even during hearings. They’re treating him like he’s Jason Bourne. That doesn’t happen. I’ve been in plenty of courtrooms where two deputies or jailers hustle ten or twelve inmates into the courtroom, then the officers take turns getting coffee.

The gaggle of police around Mangione at the defense table are purely for intimidation and optics.

why did we elect a known rapist? why did we run a genocide enabler against him?

“The answer to this conundrum lies in the settler colonial nature of US society, in the biggest lie — that we live in a democracy — and in the fact that the US is the world bastion of reaction…It is a choice between orderly exploitation, militarism and oppression, and chaotic, disruptive exploitation, militarism and oppression.”

I'd like to clarify my position "Healthcare execs like Brian Thompson deserve to be shot" is actually "Not only do healthcare execs like Brian Thompson deserve to be shot but everyone who doesn't feel that healthcare execs deserve to be shot also deserves to be shot"
