Important to remember.

The rally at Philadelphia city hall today in opposition to the U.S. Empire and Zionist Entity's imperialist war in Iran has been postponed due to extreme heat. Please share widely, stay safe, and check on your more vulnerable neighbors.

Credit to @consciouscitizens.bsky.social for this cogent and direct analysis. Many of the folks participating in 50501 protests, and I'm even sure some of the lower echelons of organizers, are well-intentioned, but the fact is that it will never be an effective movement for change.

Same agenda, different party. #VoteBlue

I have no sympathy for genocidal colonizers.

IFFY books is an amazing, anti-capitalist hacker space zine library solarpunk haven that has been hosting workshops and selling cool shit like mesh nodes as cheap as possible for years now. It looks like they're in pretty rough financial straits. Patreon.com/iffybooks

An important lesson to remember.

Sharing for visibility.

Louder for the folks in the back.

What an odd pattern. What could it mean? 🤔🤔🤔

The ADL actively engages in antisemitism by conflating Zionism with Judaism and presenting all Jews as a monolith that supports the US-backed terror organization that calls itself the "State of Israel." The ADL makes Jews less safe by distracting from actual instances of antisemitism.

For fuck sake. 🤦‍♂️ If you are at a protest and there is aggression, DON'T SIT THE FUCK DOWN. That's the opposite of safe behavior. If you see folks who are escalating beyond your comfort level, respect diversity of tactics, move somewhere else where you are more comfortable, and don't snitch.

Nazi scum indeed.

now this is a chant

MAGA doesn't have a monopoly on fascism in the American Empire.

The Zionist Entity has attacked Iran. This is from their usual playbook- whenever they start to lose some support in the West, they drag Iran into it to rally support from capitalist imperialist war hawks. This is a response to the criticism they've been taking from Europe.

This. The Democrats have never been committed to protecting LGBT+ people, especially not trans folks, and it just keeps getting worse as they swing harder to the right. They are not on our side. They are complicit in this fascist oppression. They are a part of it.

I do love sharing this study. I wish more folks would realize this. We can't vote fascism away. We can't vote capitalism away. We can't vote oligarchy away. No matter which party is in control, the system is oppressive, and we can't use the system to vote the system away. Direct action is needed.

They've always been bad but the PPD have been getting progressively more aggressive across the board this last year or so. They are straining at the leash and can feel it's ready to snap. Things are going to keep getting worse. We all need to protect each other out there.
