You have more in common with the people of Iran than you do with anyone in this administration, any member of the technocracy, anyone who is profiting from this war, or any billionaire. When you see Iranians forming human chains outside key infrastructure sites, you should feel a sense of kinship.

The US is an incomparable threat to the future of the planet. This empire cannot stand and continue to freely destroy populations, countries, and societies as it pleases.
Rojava, the largest actually-democratic project in the world, has entered what might (or might not) be a last desperate stand.
No friend but the mountains.

A poem by Renee Nicole Good, who was murdered by ICE earlier today.

Two queer women with a 6 year old in school today stopped to film ICE and for their bravery ICE agents murdered one before the other’s eyes. The grief in the survivor’s voice is a knife to the gut. Destroying people and their bonds is what ICE has always done.

I'd just like to point out how weird it is that places with hundreds or even thousands of reporters — the NYT, WaPo, CBS, NBC, AP, etc. — are all getting pummeled on every major story by the dozen computerboys at Wired. To fumble the bag this consistently is, at some point, cowardice and a choice.
When heatwaves blow through the Midwest, I try to stay positive and look at the silver lining: this is the coolest summer it’ll ever be for the rest of our lives…
“Iran must not be allowed to have a nuclear weapon” and think these ghoulish motherfuckers are anything but stenographers for a pariah state hellbent on plunging more and more of the planet into bloodshed, chaos, and suffering?
Only an empire in decay could produce such vacuous, uncritical, and vapid sheep out of its citizens. Like…how can anyone in the US who had a brain between their ears in 2003 look at every mainstream media pundit and politician regurgitating word-for-word the precise phrase,
It’s genuinely staggering how many people have seemingly memory-holed the lies and propaganda that launched the US invasion of Iraq. Simultaneously, it’s infuriating to see so many dubious people who seem to think this is going to be WW3 or be a 1:1 repetition of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
…this is such a stupendous self-own, I don’t even need to bother saying anything.

No gods, no masters. No kings, no presidents. No cops, no prisons. A better world is possible.
They want to throw a new generation of working-class people into the meat grinder of war for access to shipping lanes and rare earth minerals. Fuck these war pigs. apnews.com/article/hegs...
Re: the big No Kings protests this weekend, remember that the corporate media, politicians, etc are obviously champing at the bit to be able to force a “good protestors vs bad protestors” narrative to discredit the anti-ICE/anti-genocide movement.
Do not let them. Embrace a diversity of tactics.
leftists: that thing you teach us in school to be terrified of is happening
historians: that thing is definitely happening
star wars: here is a beat-for-beat breakdown of how the thing happens, but with pew pew lasers. we know you watched it
news outlets: these protesters are out of control
The poster from this year's International Day of Solidarity with Long-Term Anarchist Prisoners. A black background with white text reading "JUNE 11" and "THE LANDSCAPE TRANSFORMS" in white font across the top and bottom. The central image is a linocut of a seed beginning to germinate in fire, rendered in black ink, with the flames rendered in orange and red ink.
Today is Int'l Day of Solidarity w/ Long-Term Anarchist Prisoners. To remind us of our comrades held by the state & to reinvigorate our struggle alongside them until every last prison wall crumbles. Turn your attention to @supportmariusmason.bsky.social‬ @freepeppy.bsky.social‬ & others like them.
IT MAY BE THE ANARCHISTS

Here is a drawing I did of August Spies, one of the haymarket martyrs, addressing the court after being sentenced to die: “If you think that by hanging us you can stamp out the labour movement... the movement from which the downtrodden millions, the millions who toil in misery and want, expect salvation — if this is your opinion, then hang us! Here you will tread on a spark, but there and there, behind you — and in front of you, and everywhere, flames blaze up. It is a subterranean fire. You cannot put it out”. Pen and ink on paper.
Happy May Day everyone. Here is a drawing I did of August Spies, one of the haymarket martyrs, addressing the court after being sentenced to die.
Biden and his administration are liars and genocidaires, and they laid out a red carpet soaked in blood for their neo-nazi successors. May they be remembered for their evil and violent hypocrisy.
