ALL cops are class traitors. Don’t call the police - build networks of caring people in your community and call on them when you need help. Cops are never gonna help you - you’re not rich
You’re cooked, homeboy. This is wacko stuff
Yesterday, a post from the Simsbury Public Library appeared on my Facebook feed. On the surface, it seemed harmless — a cheerful little announcement congratulating Ms. Katie on her promotion to Children’s Librarian and mentioning that her desk had been moved to a new office, I assume to the children department. They even shared a photo of her standing in a room.
But when I looked closer, something felt off. I couldn’t ignore the details in the picture — the colors, the symbols, the subtle hints scattered around the room. I circled several of them. If it were just one item, I wouldn’t have thought twice. But when multiple objects in one small office all echo the same ideology, it stops being simple decoration. It becomes a message — deliberate, loud, and unmistakable.
And I can’t help but ask myself: why is this messaging appearing in a public library of all places? A place meant to nurture curiosity, not shape beliefs.

Another 🔥 episode from @east_podcast
Just go on Patreon and start giving Sina money bc that’s the content we need to hear and most everything else is just noise at this stage…

For the second year in a row, we’re having a Mutual Aid party for my birthday (in Nov) - this year’s party has over a hundred friends, family, and neighbors bringing items in high demand at our local food pantries. Last year we collected two truck loads of coats, new socks, etc

Watched the Mamdani speech (the victory speech) with my oldest and my wife this morning. It’s important not to be so jaded that we miss the significance of his win. He spoke for material change and collective action and he did it well.

This is a solid article - great review of important details about fascism, and an honest analysis of our current political climate in the US. Check it out folks.
There are many conflicting views on fascism, whether it is approaching, or even whether it is already here. But what is fascism, and how do we make sense of it? workersagainstfascism.org/20…
I’m kind of loving the mental image I’ve been having since Mamdani won of the poor little gamer ice agents who got run out of Flatbush by the community organized, shitting their pants over the thought that T is gonna send them back to NYC

Father of 5 girls here. Yes. The revolution will be women led, just as so many successful movements have been.
Kyle is like the only person I know on here who never fucking misses. @KyleTrainEmoji
You’re only seeing China’s infamous Potemkin Roads. They actually have an entire team following you around one mile in every direction, moving the potholes around on whichever street you’re heading toward. When you leave again they’re going to come and put the potholes back in 😔

Let’s just call it what it is: another week with lies that empower the ruling class at the expense of workers.

Antifascism is self defense and the only way to fight fascism is with communism. Thems the rules.

Gotta say I enjoy the use of “Bernie Sanders’ brother” as a qualification
I want to take a totally unearned lap. After 25 years as a Green Party activist and 84 years as Bernie Sanders' brother I celebrate the emergence of two young men, Zack Polanski and Zhoran Mamdani, who will be leaders in the battle for a new and better world. A day for optimism.

I don’t even want to check in with the liberal zeitgeist or read DNC messaging about this past week of wins bc I know they missed the main message we should take from Mamdani’s big win: go Left, don’t back down from the right, and don’t apologize for Left positions.

Amazing to hear Democrats talk about how cruel it is to starve people. Where have you been for the siege on Gaza? It’s been on for 17 fucking years. Have a little bit of consistency- assholes
