The Vote Blue, No Matter Who crowd is right now desperately thumbing through a rhyming dictionary for "Independent".

These were made by a trusted comrade active in the immigrant rights movement. Please share widely! Some of the specific resources are Philly specific but you can find others in your community.

I really like the points and suggestions that are made in this video. There is too much romanticization of front-line activism work and not enough focus on everything else that goes into building and sustaining the movement. There are ways you can help. youtube.com/watch?v=brgP...

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.
