“The thing that I can’t get over is that the actual richest man in the world directed my fucking firing. I make $50k a year and work to keep drinking water safe. The richest man in the world decided that was an expense too great for the American taxpayer.”

It's not enough for the State to criminalize being poor while rents go up: they also want to criminalize anyone who would act in solidarity with their neighbors, they're scared of people coming together against landlords and politicians.

Before they became “white” in the early 18th century, the self-selected racial signifier for European-American colonizers was “Christian.” White supremacy as Christian supremacy. A return to the poisoned roots.

Benajmin Lay, A 17th century Quaker, created a significant shitstorm within Quakerism by demanding quakers be abolitionists. He wrote a treatise called "All Slave-Keepers That Keep the Innocent in Bondage: Apostates." It's a good energy to bring to religious communities in 2025.

My god the fascism, the insatiable desire to eliminate unhoused people out of existence and to punish anyone trying to stop that from happening. Note that it's coming out of northern California. We should expect it to reach the rest of us soon. How will we organize to make it impossible?

Everyone can organize. Everyone can contribute to social movements. Everyone can do something, from somewhere. None of this is about "professionalism" or policy"expertise. That is counterinsurgency, demobilizing logic. Everyone can organize and has something to offer.

It's past time to link up with our neighbors, get organized, take new risks to fight for what we all deserve, defend each other as if our lives depend upon it (they do), have faith that there is life on the other side of this + act as if that life were realizable in our lifetimes because it is.

In this piece from the author of "White Property, Black Trespass," Andrew Krinks highlights how the deification of whiteness and property has long legitimized the containment of Black, Indigenous, and other racialized peoples. Read more on the blog.

The mayor of Johnston, Rhode Island plans to take the site of a 31-acre planned low-income housing development by eminent domain in order to build a cop city instead. Organized abandonment and organized violence in its most condensed and cartoonish form. House keys not handcuffs. Stop Cop Nation.

I wrote down a quote from this episode. It’s a little long, so here’s a thread of my attempt to quote @andrewkrinks.bsky.social: “This is part of why I’m invested in some of the fundamentals of abolition… if you can’t understand that these institutions [police] are what they are

We are mourning with all those impacted by the tragic shooting at Antioch High School. And we worry that officials will try to use this tragedy to obtain more surveillance + cops, even though surveillance + cops in the school did not stop it. Prevention + care, not cops + cameras, keep kids safe.

In Gov Lee's eurochristian imagination, sanctuary pollutes white property (Tennessee), while cages purify + restore whiteness to its godlike power over people + planet. Or as I put it in the book: "Criminalization makes white propertied men divine." Can't have whiteness without the threat of caging.

Something that is really going to be more necessary than ever is embracing uncertainty and it's actually the most difficult thing for human beings to do. It really is. But everyone needs to practice. YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN. That means there's a possibility your actions can make a difference

“We all know that the shock & awe campaign is going to start the minute the new administration is installed. They want us to be overwhelmed. They want us to lose hope quickly. They want us to throw our arms up & check out. We are not going to do that.+

This is the logical outcome of policing. Police exist to use violence to maintain order. The machine operator likely did not intend to kill this man. But sweeps of camps are state violence, and violence often kills.

Those of us who say we believe that another world is possible should refuse to accept the premise that (1) police surveillance tech expansion is absolutely inevitable, and that (2) such expansion would increase safety for all of us. How will we educate + organize to make this the new common sense?
