Once a society falls into the dark gratification of the snuff cycle, it's not really possible to break free. Others must intervene. -- I've decided to make this poem publicly available.

The American right-wing is always looking for a villain. They still hates Jews, Arabs, Blacks, and Hispanics. But it serves their sadism to side with Zionists for now.

As someone who has attends marches for justice, I can tell you we must always chase fascists, disarm them, and generally get them out of the area before they find a "reason" to blow people away. The activists that night who tried to disarm Rittenhouse are heroes.
@lowercaseB_
They taught Americans how to deal with tear gas. They hosted civil rights leaders in the 1970s-1980s. They've exchanged friendship and solidarity even though they've been imprisoned behind wire.
@SanaSaeed
They must completely resist their orders and stand down. That could mean jail or even dishonorable discharge, but I hope enough have the courage to save lives.
@briebriejoy
Actually, the world is with Palestine. It's the U.S. and greedy Arab elites who have failed them and failed us all, just as they've done every single day through human history. We, the people, overwhelmingly stand with Palestine.

Except the average Chinese citizen enjoys a longer lifespan, greater liberties, a higher class of living, and a controlled capitalist class that cannot dominate workers.

I haven't watched Dore's show yet. I'm a subscriber and wait until it's available on his site. However, if he is destroying the work of activists, in order to get behind a murderer, I am unsubscribing.
Good. Move on. Pittsburgh has countless policing agencies. Far too many cops for our population. Try hiring social workers, nurses, and doctors. Pay them right.
@bigmadcrab
Vote for holocaust, because the Democrats do holocaust better.
This is the standard fascist line. Nazis gaslit their public with this kind of rhetoric as well.
Itโs standard.
As workers walk away from their oligarch masters, we must support their side hustles. Give to their Go Fund Me pages, invest in their small business plans, buy their handmade hairbrushes. We'll call this mutual aid the strike fund. Keep it flowing.

That book is $39.95. One review said it read like an old racist lady, bitter that she's beyond her youth. --
I paid $8 for Of Mice and Men and Steinbeck reads like the great American author he was.

Some of us will never vote to affirm a genocide and the greater imperial reach. You should absolutely pray/meditate on this matter. This is not a time for cowardice.
@rbe_expert
Mandates aren't leftist. They're authoritarian, which is right-wing orthodoxy. Vaccines are amazing things, but mandating their use in a growing authoritarian society is pure insanity. There's also an argument to be made about slippery slopes and future mandates for "reasons."
@briebriejoy
Hamas is fighting for the liberty of their people and their 2017 charter clearly states they'd consider the 1967 lines. Personally, I think Israel should be ended and all of it should be Palestine, but Hamas is extremely generous in their position.
@PaulSorrentino3
Would you have time for raping in the middle of a military operation?
Rapes and other tortures happen in the lower moments of occupation, not during the throes of orchestrated attacks.
If evidence ever comes, Iโll accept the claims. Narratives from proven liars donโt cut it.
@kthalps
This makes no sense. His statements aren't grounded in anything. No psychology or history or poli-sci. It's no different than if I typed, "Chestnuts are lazy," but with a lot of $5 words.
@lhfang
I looked at the examples you cited. Black and Native voices reminding the poster of the many bombings and murder campaigns thrust on their peoples is not "far left" nor is it "narcissism."
I don't think your tweet will age well.

People need to get vaxxed ASAP. This isn't difficult to understand. Some of the fears I'm encountering are legitimate, but refusing vaccination is far more dangerous to the individual and to society.

Clearly, a candidate should be made to answer tough questions. But the framing of these particular questions reveals a deep desire for continued holocaust.
It's unfortunate when people like Hasan sell off their own people for venial greed and depravity.

Any defense of Rittenhouse is completely unethical, even if it's grounded in hatred of MSM. Authoritarian bootlickers are literally killing activists. Cops are regularly killing and locking up the black working class.

@davenewworld_2
Too few people live good civic lives. Weโre never to talk to the cops. We donโt answer their questions. We immediately ask for an attorney and film everything. They arenโt there to help people, but rather enforce laws onto our backs. Sometimes, they just want to do violence.

@PallaviGunalan
Not one leftist in the world supports those fascists. Thatโs the problem with the U.S. One might fancy themself a leftist if they support a union or know a gay person. But left philosophy dictates the liberation of people around the world for democratic ownership of the means.
@transjewtalian
I don't care if you like the guy or not, this is no fucking time for petty bourgeois disputes. All hands to the pump. We have retired conservative military leaders on the moral side of this. We're not condemning allies.
Call them grifters once there's a resolution.
@chrisbriem
Do you think the people who say that trash ever visit the city? They're out there in Mars or Mercer, scared of their own shadows. Maybe they come for a sports event and to terrorize the locals. That's about it.
@briebriejoy
All of these issues are violence that the global elite thrust onto the backs of the global working classes.
Everyone has their breaking points. If some liberals and some conservatives are finding their way to a little solidarity, good.
Little towns East of Pittsburgh are more Pittsburgh than some of the city's neighborhoods. I don't even care. Fight me. As transplants continue to file in to the city, real Pittsburgh will continue to push East.

While true that U.S. sanctions have helped to further impoverish working-class Venezuelan citizens, that society found ways around those blockades to trade with others.
Americans should fix their own policies before pointing the finger outward. Anything else is cowardice.

Did you know Israel has a few thousand Palestinians held hostage for years?
Did you know they've done hostage exchanges in the past?
Did you know IDF doesn't want their hostages now?
Political literacy is vital.
Times of Israel: "the [Israeli] army is concerned that further hostage releases by Hamas could lead the political leadership to delay a ground incursion or even halt it midway"
The Israeli army doesn't want hostages released now. Just let that sink in.
@GoodPoliticGuy
They don't give a damn about worker rights, otherwise they'd be calling for safety, wages, and unions/cooperations, not the abolition of clean energy.
Bribed American politicians and Israeli lobbyists who claim "River to the Sea" is anti-Semitic, require your ignorance. The Hamas charter of 2017 is clear: a two-state solution for a democratic Palestine. -- Open link and ๐งตfor details.

You liberals crack me up. You really are one chromosome away from being Nazis. This guy's thread is absolutely respectable for labor organizing.
I'm actually not against union organizing lol. I wrote this tweet in February before the ALU victory. But I'm going to use this as an opportunity to speak about the this mentally ill pathological fetishization of unions by leftists.

Perhaps the parents of this teacher's students should look into whether she's harming their children, and the file the proper complaints.

This is mostly true, but a large segment of the American Arab community is absolutely a well-read, moral, and dignified force in politics. They do prefer the Green platform.

They didn't. Emma Vigeland is a daughter of wealth and prestige. She hates the working class. If this were 1981, she'd be a Reagan Democrat.
@RyanDeto
I wonder what made you type, "Statement doesnโt mention Hamas." -- A Palestinian activist said in a podcast interview yesterday, American liberals can feel sympathy for Palestinians in suffering. That tolerance ends once we actually fight for liberation.
@Neolibtears
He's lying. I read the 2017 Hamas charter. They actually state the opposite. They want a parliamentary democratic state and are willing to consider the 1967 lines. They want negotiation.
@oodhamboi
Hell, I'd join it. -- I've also been considering this as a homeowner. If a Native organization could prove legally and with good anthropological evidence that my home exists on a former Native home, I'd leave. I would need to be made whole in compensation...

Pittsburgh is art is NOT embodied in the Warhol or the Mattress Factory. Take it from the poet who came up in the underground movement of the 90s. Pittsburgh's art is dried blood under sidewalk slabs. It's in soot-laced attics. It's scrawled as truth across concrete walls.
Tell railroaders in your families and friends lists that if they wildcat, you'll help. We'll survive if rail lines go down a while. It'll be tough, but we can do it. Far more important that workers find their power.
Please wildcat NOW!

My fav movie of all time is The Insider with Russell Crowe and Al Pacino, released in 1999. Based on a true story about big tobacco in the 1980s, the film exposes how CBS and the wider media landscape learned to fear corporate power. (1/2)

We don't come back from this. This is true beginning of collapse. All arguments about healthcare, unions, and the environment are dwarfed.

...so I could live elsewhere. But yes, right is right.
However, it's not about my individual home. If my town needed to change hands from Pennsylvania government to a Native nation's government, so be it.
