Landlords provide housing the same way kidnappers provide missing family members

William Butler Yeats gazing in the direction of Bethlehem:

If we understand that manufactured poverty is the most violent and authoritarian institution, then any system that dismantles it is necessarily less authoritarian.

We can debate and refine our concepts of how to build society differently and strive for truly horizontal social structures, but it's dishonest to accuse an imperfect but successful revolution of creating worse conditions when it objectively improved material and social conditions.

There ain’t nothin more valuable than blindness
We’ll make anyone a martyr who’ll remind us

"This is a liberation
struggle.

Act like it.
Move like it.
Fight

So seek it
Speak it—
like thunder
on a moonless night."

by Fadi Quran

We Live in Fearful Times. Our Safety Comes Through Preparing Together. “Now is the time to be bold and audacious,” says community safety organizer Che Johnson-Long.

This week's episode of Movement Memos is for activists and organizers who need to think about safety and security planning during these times (and that's all of us). I am grateful to Che Johnson-Long for this thoughtful, caring, and practical conversation. Audio + transcript:

Fellas, is it blessed to have a “nice time”?

Animal Crossing is better than Power Rangers.

I'm not crying I just need to put my eyes in rice

So I guess I'll go home
Into the arms of the girl that I love
The only love I haven't screwed up
She's so hard to please, but she's a forest fire

Abolish ICE is the compromise position. We need to abolish the entire Department of Homeland Security, which was created after 9-11 with the express purpose of terrorizing immigrant communities, activists, and ordinary people in a sickening display of security theater that does not make anyone safer
