The Cuban government has announced that Assata Shakur died in Havana on Thursday at the age of 78. Shakur was a legendary figure within the Black Panther Party and the Black Liberation Army.

Keshaun Pearson wrote this excellent piece about Musk's fuckery in Memphis. There isnt much new here to people that have kept up with the issue, but he does a good job of putting things in the wider context of class and racial stuggle inside and outside of Memphis. He's directly involved in the community response, and it's refreshing to see an article that doesnt dance around the wider implications for climate and social justice.

Someone shared this with me earlier today, and it's such a perfect example of the type of victim blaming crap marginalized groups have to hear all the time from this type of privileged "former" conservative

Many people say things like "joy is a form of resistance," but how to make such a statement meaningful may elude many

Maybe we can just incrementally run over fewer houses with tanks?

Or status quo bad, fascism good. The binary shitshow seems about as bad as their understanding of gender

Our economic resources are being pillaged by the Nazis who Democrats insisted on appeasing, our planet is dying, and literally everyone in the US is at risk of being sent to a foreign death camp at a whim.

For the record, this includes the "nice" landlord in your family who's "one of the good ones." We're actually coming for them first just so you stop posting pro-landlord propaganda.

For a long time, I thought the Democrats were fighting valiantly but just overwhelmed by the oligarchy and the Republicans. Then I saw that the Democrats keep losing fights they should win and figured they must be just weak and ineffectual. Then I kept seeing them backing off without putting up a fight at all and decided they were gutless cowards. Finally I noticed that enough of them keep voting with the Republicans to always make sure the Republicans more or less win almost every fight, and that they keep starting from a Center position and bargaining to the Right, and eventually after enough of that it became impossible to ignore the only conclusion that actually fits the facts: The Democrats are not over matched, they aren’t weak, they aren’t cowards…they’re complicit.

But seriously, no one should feel bad about asking for help when they need it. I've known people who suffer in secret for so long because they're ashamed to get help when we could have helped them.

The book Unhumans, by Jack Posobiec and Joshua Lisec, is a fascist manifesto. It argues that the “Great Men of History” should take their cues from homicidal dictators like Augusto Pinochet and Francisco Franco, reject reason and democracy, and ruthlessly annihilate the gangs of communist “unhumans” who are currently threatening to destroy the United States. It explicitly advocates “eye for an eye” justice, promising a new McCarthyism complete with blacklists, along with the immediate banning of all teachers’ unions. It is perhaps the most paranoid, hateful, and terrifying book I have ever picked up. (I say this as someone who has read Mein Kampf.) And it comes with a warm and supportive blurb from Ohio senator J.D. Vance, who is currently the Republican party’s vice presidential nominee.

The canary has been screaming its lungs out since Bill Clinton introduced his racist anti-immigrant bill in 1997, but both Republicans and Democrats have not only ignored its cries, but hastened its situation. Both parties have created this. Don't think this won't affect us all.

Btw this is absolutely not negotiable, if you support genocide or fascists you will be banned.

Okay so I'm showing off a bit here because my husband gave me the coolest book ever for Christmas. It's illustrated by N O Bonzo, and every illustration is something beautiful.
