nah because at this point if youre white and your reason behind defunding over abolish is something like “i want to be able to call the police if i am in danger” you’ve already lost the little respect you had from me and i’m not gonna bother listening to a word you have to say. you have already proven to me that you believe YOUR life and safety is more important than that of an entire race of people (and not just Black people, in US at least any non WASP group who is not cis male and het is inherently a target for police). you’ve proven that despite countless of Black people dead at the hands of police, directly or in directly, what concerns you most is how your white life will suffer and lose power if my Black life is a little more protected.

ion speak for everyone but i know that i, a young Black woman, wanna be able to call someone if i’m in danger too. you think i don’t wanna believe there are institutions to keep me safe??? in an ideal world, i believe and know there is an institution with my interests at heart and my life as a priority that is ready to protect me and my peers. BUT THERE ISNT. in fact that institution actively wants and needs me and my peers dead. it has been built that way since it’s creation. with this in mind, it just feels like to me that the reasons white liberals have to be against abolition are so fucking selfish. it’s all about YOUR safety. YOUR property. YOUR white ass life.

Black people absolutely cannot coexist with the police. we end up dead and our killers run free. if you can you know of Emmett, Tamir, Trayvon, Breonna, Rayshard, Stephon, Alton, George, or most recently Daunte, and still be worried about your own life and safety as a white person who benefits from these cases, then you really do not give a fuck about Black people and i wish y’all would stop pretending you do. i really feel like it’s not up to fucking debate anymore. for the sake of Black lives, the police must be abolished.

Black Lives Matter, the movement, shouldn’t be equated with founders of BLM

Black Lives Matter Secretly Bought a $6 Million House

Allies and critics alike have questioned where the organization’s money has gone.

While I was living in a car hearing about how my work helped shut down a juvenile detention facility in Florida, I didn’t receive a fucking dime. I spent a decade of my life disillusioned with organizing while fucking parasites like these three people who propped themselves as leaders capitalized off the work of organizers like me did. So no, fuck this headline because it’s reckless. And fuck BLMGNF.

HOLY FUCK THE AMAZON WORKERS WON THEIR UNION VOTE

[dykecostanza-deactivated2024112]

im running so late to this but holy fucking shit this is historic

[dykecostanza-deactivated2024112]

last thing - while unions are obviously a collaborative effort and this incredible victory is the result of the hard work and sacrifices of many different people i think it’s absolutely essential to highlight the role of ALU’s founder chris smalls rn

chris was fired by amazon in 2020 for organizing a walk-out in the wake of their absolutely criminal handling of covid protocols in staten island. in a meeting with bezos and other amazon execs amazon’s lawyer was caught bragging that he wasnt “smart” or “articulate” enough to organize against them…now he’s helped facilitate the first successful union vote in amazon’s history - eat shit!

This is just theft. Legitimately disgusting, the level of disrespect.

The money going into ‘humanitarian relief’ (however much doesn’t go into lining the pockets of US NGOs) will be spent making sure that the newly independent Afghanistan remains subservient to the US. With their own money, Afghanistan could buy tractors. With humanitarian aid, they will get grain.

They will have no agriculture, and therefore no economy, that could stand independent of the US.

[ithrowshoesatconservatives]

i think this quote from thomas sankara is appropriate here

[num6ocean]

[apas-95]

‘Leftist gun culture’ is, overwhelmingly, focused on a very petty-bourgeois, hobbyist sort of individual firearms ownership, rather than anything genuinely revolutionary.

General armament (a historical aberration) came about in the US almost entirely due to the nation’s roots as a settler state, where every settler was expected to take up arms and wage genocide wherever they were - defending occupation. As the country developed, this morphed into the need for the (white) citizenry to be ready to organise into posses and slave patrols at a moment’s notice. Later still, lynch mobs of armed citizens. The throughline here is the petty-bourgeois settler, Defending Their Home and Property - and this is still the dominant narrative in the wider US gun culture to this day.

Supposedly-leftist gun culture often carries on this trend, emphasising individual firearms ownership justified by, with some minor modification, these conceptions of self-, and home-defense. The idea of ‘home invasions’ by anonymous masked men (fought off with a shotgun hidden in the drywall) is changed slightly, given a progressive veneer, but the core idea remains the same. But, to fight off the masked men most likely to actually invade your home with guns - the police - requires much more than personal gun ownership, it requires a revolutionary war. The quote bandied about so much: “Under no pretext, etc.” has much less to do with arming proletarians, and much more with arming the proletariat.

Even those nominally more focused on revolution still replicate the existing, petty-bourgeois gun culture, through their hobbyist outlook. Guns are pored over as an object of obsession - not just a tool. Customisation, arguments over different brands and manufacturers, and expensive personal collections; they fit equally well on a forum for motorcycle enthusiasts as they do in the discussions of these prospective revolutionaries. The customised AR triggers and bespoke leftist plate carriers fit much more with the ‘50s Man of the House, building a gyrocopter in his garage, from a mail-order parts kit; not the soldier, equipped with standardised, stock equipment - and much less the guerrilla fighter, using whatever stolen equipment is available.

Spending thousands on a gun, on its accessories and ammunition, and further still on regular upkeep, let alone other equipment - it isn’t something most people can afford. And when the time calls for the use of guns, when an armed people’s uprising takes place - not just by the most active vanguard of the guerrilla forces, but by the mass of the people organised into local militias and self-defense groups - will we expect every one of them to have previously dedicated a month’s worth of income on it? Even ignoring the importance of other sources of equipment, hobbyist insistence on top-of-the-line gear restricts the actual usefulness of broad, basic training and equipment.

Lenin’s focus was largely on providing the proletariat with military training - firearms experience, not firearms ownership. A ‘leftist gun club’ pooling together funds to buy a rifle and range time can provide that training to a much greater number of people, at a much lesser cost, than the same org hashing out EDC pistols (and far moreso than disorganised individuals arming themselves!). In countries with mandatory military service, civil unrest is especially volatile - the workers, trained in military affairs, need only capture weapons to equal the state forces. When the time comes, a hundred well-trained people ready to take up arms are far more useful than a dozen that come pre-equipped.

White women, are the protectorates and keepers of white supremacy

[aishabellasbigblogofeverything]

And this is what I mean when I say that white women need to stop pretending that their form of oppression is the be-all, end-all for all women(such as their rejection of femininity) including and not limited to being a stay-at-home mom.

Yeah that's slavery. We never really got rid of it, it's just been repackaged, shifted around some, maybe spray-painted a few times...

The romanization of Hawai’i only tightens America’s grip on my people.

We are not the land of Lilo and Stitch. We are not a paradise.

We are a nation suffering.

There are only around 600,000 Native Hawaiians left. Only around 200,000 of them live in Hawai’i.

Hawai’i has the second largest homeless population in the nation, falling just behind New York. There are 19 million people in New York. Hawaii only has 1.4 million people. Yet their homeless rates are neck and neck. A majority of those experiencing homelessness in Hawai’i are Native Hawaiian.

Tourism destroys sacred land. Mountains are moved to make room for telescopes. People live in tiny concrete apartments that cost $2k a month because the rich move to the islands to carve their own paradise. My people spend every night praying we can afford to eat the next day

The Navy poisons the water over and over. They lie and say it’s safe. People fall ill. Then they dump the waste into the ocean and promise to do better. They lie.

End the romanization of Hawai’i. There is no paradise under American occupation.

we are already living in the cyberpunk future and i know this because within a span of 3 days we went from this tweet:

to thousands of people making phony images and replying to them with their passionate desire to have them as a tshirt to overload the bots with nonsense and junk and send out warnings to shoppers like this:

and now we even have people replying to pictures of baby yoda with “i want this on a tshirt” knowing how ravenous disney is being with copyright in hopes to get the stores taken down altogether

Start at p.184 for the good stuff.

I'm also losing it over this quote: "In addition, the United States must recognize that it still retains a dominant image in the world. It has an open society, economy, universal ideology that respects individual liberty and freedom, a history of humanitarian aid, an absence of territorial disputes, and no desire to dominate. Moreover, it also has a significant advantage in the fact that it is not a racist state. China is."

Soldiers enlisting for war are not some passive pawns in the game of american imperialism lmfao please acknowledge the history of draft dodgers and protest among potential soldiers who literally halted whole invasions simply by Not Participating. stop repeating this propaganda that soldiers have no power in this – there’s no draft right now. if every potential enlistee said “we are not doing this” there WOULD be an impact lmfao

Y'all, this is what shopping malls were SUPPOSED to be. Completely contained communities with living space, common areas, shopping, restaurants, childcare, recreation, a small clinic...the works. But capitalism said, "Hey this would be better if it was ALL shopping and fast food and movie theaters, because who needs housing or childcare or a public health clinic, right?"

The buildings are just wasted space and resources in many places now. They REALLY should be repurposed for community needs.
