An only logical application of Zionism’s zero-sum rationale: that any presence of Palestinians anywhere — in our scholarship, on a map, in our cookbooks, in Palestine or it diasporic geographies — is an altogether negation of Israeli existence.

i never go back to New Orleans because i know it’s not the same city i lived in.

i always thinks about the yaat-ass white man i’d buy my birthday alligators from in New Orleans. man would walk me to his garage along with his big ass poodle and unveil 30 coolers of a Noah’s ark of animals he’d killed that week.

We are living in a world where ppl are told to be mad but not violent to other "ppl" who are doing things to hurt them, in a lot of cases, mortally. And ppl will be afraid to do something because they “don’t want to be harmed." Read that logic back to yourself. Make it make sense.

i’m sad for folks that liked his music, but he always sounded like watered-down YGTUT to me.

after researching for a book for half a decade…this is the most horrifying thing i’ve heard about writing in a while.

current state of mind.

prolly should stop listening to audio books about Reconstruction during warm-ups. i keep muttering “this is for Greenwood” during sparring sessions.

while i really hate the word “networking” and the idea of intentionally building relationships primarily for work gains, i do agree that you should make a point to build bonds with your peers in comics. all the life-changing opportunities i’ve had were thru friends.

in my experience fight training doesn’t necessarily make you more prone to violence. after one year training: anyone can get these hands. after three years: plz don’t make me fight you, i have back to back sessions this week and i’m sore. after six years: i think i’ll get into baking bread.

a tension i’ve seen among anarchists is how to build, if at all, with other folks who have different tendencies. i can’t ever see letting an authoritarian org into your circle of trust/milieu, but ppl take that and exclude principled individual alliances.

been on and off working with a brother inside a prison to get his comic out into the world. he got radicalized inside through reading George Jackson and as a result he’s been in solitary for years. it’s been wild trying to explain the lack of activity in the face of this fascist takeover

seen this in my family. at most folks in my family just have acted like they’re not following politics anymore. they established a dictatorship, but they’re never gonna own it.

whatever happens, no matter how bad it get, never bring back clown bloc.

when i’m bored I engage phone scammers in long debates about desirability.

rereading This Non-violence Stuff’ll Get You Killed

finally going back to the muay thai gym after a week off being sick. never been so hyped to get kicked in the head.

terrible uncles ruined the Boston accent for me, but I support Bill Burr in his “murder the rich” era. that type of voice is gonna engage a certain type of folk.

In this thread, we present Willem Van Spronsen’s final statement, which we published in 2019 when police killed him. He was killed while attempting to disable the buses serving a private detention facility imprisoning immigrants. He knew what the consequences would be. crimethinc.com/willem 🧵⬇️

back in the day folks acted like you were a scholar if you watched documentaries.

NEW: A group known as the 'puppygirl hacker polycule' has leaked thousands of police training & policy manuals from departments across the country www.dailydot.com/debug/lexipo...

one brother, far from center-stage, quietly being tackled for declaring solidarity with other colonized people is the most unintentionally accurate portrait of this country right now.

Kendrick halftime show was FBA coded, not to the detriment of other non-Black colonized people like the FBA ish usually is. But it cast us as struggling Americans rather than a colonized people, which is why everyone with free locks is mad in your feed right now.

i’m sick as a dog. if you ordered comics this week it’s gonna take a few extra days to mail them out.

Judge rules that Black church in DC, which won a $2.8 million default judgment against the Proud Boys, now gains control over the trademark “Proud Boys.” The far-right group is barred from selling any related merchandise or symbols without the consent of the church. Gift link:

Anti-ICE protesters in California have shut down the 101 freeway in Los Angeles marching towards City Hall.

Type Shit.

happy birthday my niggas

not Philly plane crash conspiracy theorists. some of y’all need your phones taken away and put in time out.

i’m walking thru the 15th street station and this Bucks ass county guy in a 76ers jersey says to his wife “stay close to me, I might have to shoot somebody”. these people have no kind of house training. there was nothing around but kids and old drunk men sleeping in that station.
