They call the working class "middle class" because we don't have grease under our nails. Have no doubt, if you do not own the machines that produce wealth, you are the machine that produces wealth. Let's get grease under our nails. Solidarity is universal.

Anyone else tired of screen grabs from X? Respectfully (I know it isn't the intention), but it is basically advertising for x. Nothing interesting happens there without Mr. "not-Nazi-salute" letting it happen-- so why cross post? Why screen grab from the billionaire's propaganda site? #x_is_over

In case you didn't notice: The name isn't about some meme coin: The Doge of Venice was the highest-ranking official in the Venetian Republic from 697 to 1797. The word "Doge" comes from the Latin dux, which means "leader". Highest ranking-- that's Musk. We live in a kleptocracy. He is in charge.

... It sucks. I wish we lived without the weapons of war. I hope to never have to take aim at a life, but that isn't true of everyone. We need to prepare as if we lived in a hellscape where nearly anyone can buy a gun for less than the price of a cart of groceries. Because that's where we live.

...We owe it to each other to be ready for the worst scenarios. The Right has been ready for their nightmares for decades, and we laughed at them as paranoid and jeered at them as gun nuts. That attitude has led to a dangerous imbalance. The neo-fascist gun nut on your block is armed. Are you? ...

...This isn't about which president is in office or "fighting back" right now. This is about a responsibility to defend each other from whatever comes down the line. Read the history of genocide-- they will tell you you're paranoid all the way up until they have the barrel on your forehead. ...

...Are you ready to allow that right to self-defense to be enjoyed by only one side? How long does that society last-- one side is armed, the other side isn't? The people who own the mass of guns in this country have stickers about using them on you. What are ideals at the bottom of a mass grave?

The most self-defeating idea on the left (other than that we hate each other) is that there is no situation in which you will need a firearm. Ghandi was great, but I'm with Harriet Tubman who carried every goddamn day. The Founders handed done the right to defend ourselves from the government...

I don't agree with a lot of his politics, but Maj Toure has some solid points (and some crap ones). He is also out there doing the work of teaching gun safety where it matters most.

youtu.be/3TzCvdCAaX8 Black HM reminder: gun control laws were targeted at marginalized, especially black and brown people, from the jump. Easy to say no to guns from a gated community where law enforcement is there to protect and serve *you* rather than keep you down. Listen and learn:

Guessing Trump supporters currently feel like every 90's kid who heard the rumor that you could smoke dried banana peels. Sitting in your "drug" circle of idiot friends, you thought we were high, but then you had to wonder why you weren't high and everyone was still pretending they were.

"Especially if children or young people share your household, enhanced security must take priority. Don’t forget to lock up ammo separately." I'll say it a 1000 times-- A gun safe comes before a safe gun. Also-- no gun is safe. Responsible ownership is not stress free or you are doing it wrong.

"The firearms industry is a dirty, unethical business and you shouldn’t select your first gun with the same mentality as fair trade kombucha at your local farmers market." At a gun store, you're going to see stickers you disagree with. Remember why they are there and you'll know why you are there.

"In addition, Hubbert has discovered that many liberals from historically marginalized groups are purchasing guns in order to feel safe. These individuals are unnerved by a political climate that has led to an increase in racist, sexist, and transphobic attacks."

"Hubbert is finding that liberal gun owners often want to address the root causes of gun violence [...]. They recognize the need for an investment in mental health funding, education funding, and job creation to help address the issues of structural inequality that frequently underlie gun violence."
