Today sitting in the knowledge that racism’s power is in its theft of time & spirit. Onwards. Thanks to all those who called Hochul’s office yesterday, please continue to do so (518) 474-8390. Together let’s insist on a world we want to live in.

Bryan Johnson got famous for trying to live forever, and for insisting we all could beat death. But what should we do with our eternal life? He has no idea. He, like the whole ruling class, have nothing to offer when it comes to the meaning of our lives. My latest: www.jphilll.com/p/who-wants-...

Joe Biden spent eighteen months enabling a genocide in Occupied Palestine. That's a fact. And saying that we must ignore that fact is saying the people murdered with our American weapons, paid for by our American tax dollars don't matter. Saying people should have ignored a genocide is monstrous.

The Black political establishment in Atlanta isn’t a departure from the national fascistic currents overrunning the US; it’s complementary. Cop City, voter suppression, and this OIG scandal make this point quite well.

Thank you Noura Erakat for this powerful piece that gets to the heart of our responsibility. Fighting for justice where we are requires us to understand that US support of Israeli apartheid and genocide helped lay the groundwork for this authoritarian rise. www.bostonreview.net/articles/the...

This is, in no uncertain terms, a rout. The New York Times published an unfortunate op-ed trying to legally justify Trump administration's #Birthright citizenship order. Here, five leading scholars show, with analytic precision, how that op-ed was "fundamentally flawed and irresponsible."⬇️

My allies don't support mass incarceration & mass deportations. My allies don't profit off the stock market. My allies don't fight against universal healthcare. My allies don't fund the police. My allies don't fund genocides. My allies don't abandon trans people. But thanks for the reminder!

Liberals who can never think out of the indoctrinated box of the American two party dichotomy think of the left as annoying online. It's pesky to point out the flaws in the carceral state we're all subject to & the horror of being held to genocide. They'd rather the dreams their rulers gave them.

"Diversifying oppressive structures and seeking equity within corporatocracy is as limited as trying to do the same within representative governance... ...Before you demand a seat at the table, you should first ask if it’s a table worth being at in the first place."

Hundreds of asylum seekers from around the globe are being trapped by the US in a Panama hotel where they'll eventually be sent to a camp in the jungle. One Chinese man said “I thought: America is a free country with respect for human rights. I had no idea it was like a dictatorship.”
