Every post on social media consumes the planet and lines the pockets of the ultra rich… So make it count!

Citizenship, while a tool for liberation, is itself a violent structure, with the possibility of it being pulled out from anyone. No one should fear for their life because they lack some fictitious certificate It is beyond time to dismantle USA’s apartheid system Abolish citizenship = abolish ICE

Someone suggested that you have to believe in human rights in order to be moral, and when I responded with this, they blocked me…

More like red, white, & blue shirts… Good to remember that what we are seeing isn’t merely the import of Nazi ideology but the product of centuries of American-born racism that inspired the Nazis

While the anniversary of 9/11 is rightfully a day of mourning, it has also become a day of whitewashing, selective memory, “bloody shirt”-waving, and institutional violence

Voting is not the only way to participate in democracy… buying and not buying a product on Amazon is a political act

Kamala Harris should have been the absolutely last person to run against Trump in 2024 As VP, it was her exclusive role to certify the election. By running, she politicized her ability to raise credible objections (including Amend 14, Sec 3) to Trump’s certification.

Noncitizen voting is a real problem… Noncitizens residing in New Jersey are counted for purposes of representation, pay taxes, but are denied their right to vote… I think there is a word for that: tyranny

New Jersey Republicans demand changes to state voting laws gothamist.com/news/nj-repu...

Not only does California’s law ban octopus farming in the state for food, but unlike Washington’s, it makes selling farmed octopus more difficult as well! Not perfect, but a very good start!! And it looks like New York is on its way to banning octopus farms as well!!! Eight thumbs up 👍🐙

The USA is a sick country… a plurality elected a violent racist to command Another large group gloat in their schadenfreude at his humiliating, though still dangerous, failures Really, Trump should be pitied as a sick man; the real enemy, the institutions that empower him, should be dismantled

July 4th who would you rather… 😡 Trump (America’s Semisesquicentennial) or the 🎩 Mad Hatter (Alice in Wonderland day)?

The attempt to deny birthright citizenship to immigrants was a fascist agenda, still not over However, this shouldn’t distract from the fact that citizenship as a system is oppressive and needs to be thoroughly critiqued— no one should fear for their life because of some arbitrary nationality test

People belittling the Trump Iran deal, contrasting it to Obama’s, please keep riling him up! But secretly, this probably is the best outcome we could have hoped; the imperialist United States is humiliated, Netanyahu placed in a precarious position, & the Iranian regime closer to suffering revolt

Ironically, a new deal after Trump’s disastrous bloodshed will probably be more equitable and fair Of course, all the actors (Iran, America, the gulf states, etc…) are obstructionists to real peace & liberation

As long as America, as an imperialist and militarized state, has nuclear weapons, it would be foolish & dangerous for other states not to pursue them as well The 2015 nuclear deal was abysmal in its failure to confront the United State’s proclivity for violence, intimidation, and destruction

To put it another (albeit crude) way, the fact that Hitler killed Hitler does not make him a hero And the fact that Obama was not as bad as Trump is not a point of pride… I would much rather celebrate the people who actually sacrificed fighting against the system rather than those on top of it

That is America… Confront not erase the history (and current structure) of the United States as a carceral state

Trump is the most transparent President ever… the most transparently corrupt

Not a race when the “participants” are forced to run… Power to the horse called Great White for resisting, though I worry how he’ll be further mistreated in response

The whole modern world is constructed around the genocidal ideology of biopolitical nation-state sovereignty Palestine won’t be liberated until the world is liberated, and the whole world can’t be liberated until Palestine is liberated

If we are going to keep this legal regime, then we need to name predatory capitalism for what it is… A crime against humanity, animalkind, and nature!

Is the United States a democracy if the only choice is between fascism and whatever neoliberalism the Democrats propose? For the political non-fascist, the county is becoming a (failed) one-party system…

The United States needs to be demilitarized (long overdue!)

You know what is sick, even as they lob death & vitriol at one another, the Iranian regime and the American regime need each other to stay in power and keep their masses in check, like 1984 & the nations at war — it is a mutually-beneficial parasitic relationship of suffering, distraction, profit

Maybe it is time to abolish citizenship completely? Or at least, make it ceremonial… otherwise, America will continue to abuse non-citizens living in the United States America is not a country built on consent if it forces people to be citizens while excluding others…

Every time you order something through Amazon, poke yourself in the eye… that is the least pain you are causing to yourself Buy the least you can — refrain as possible from contributing to the destructive capitalist system that seeks to commodify you

Over 70 million people voted FOR Trump. Trump is American-made. The US is an imperialist nation, built on a military-industrial complex, and a carceral state. No matter who won in 2024, America has a fascism problem I wouldn’t want to live in a house with 1 fascist, much less millions of them…

I think for some (largely white people), the problem with Trump is that he inconveniences them by unabashedly perpetuating the violence and racism that is fundamental to the system, one they wish to ignore because they benefit from it with their petty privileges

Not only does the horrific “SAVE America” act need to be stopped, but the terrible Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996 has to be overturned! End the war on non-citizens!!!

“Undocumented immigrants” should be voting in US elections — as inhabitants of America, counted for purposes of representation, they have every right to have their votes heard via the ballot box If they are excluded, then those elections are illegitimate and undemocratic…

Trump is the bitter, albeit extremely dysfunctional, fruit of an imperialist system that has always preyed on the vulnerable… Trump didn’t create ICE, the military-industrial complex, the ultra-rich Maybe Americans should pull that tainted tree up by the roots instead of just pruning its leaves

Right on! Keep up the good pressure!!! Hopefully reparations will also lead to a transformation about how Americans think about animality, nature, and what it means to be human as well All American land is stolen and built on with stolen labor… End the cannibalism!

The military-industrial complex strikes again Trump could not cause such devastation without the death-ware at his disposal Prayers to the people under Iran, Israel, and everywhere else liable to suffer, of the children who are destined to become ashes and tears

A rising tide drowns more bodies than it lifts all boats…

Trying to ignore so as not to give the Olympics any more power, but my silence should not taken as complicity… A reminder: the Olympics, especially the winter games, have very little to do with sports and everything to do with exploitative capitalism, elitism, and nationalism

#Impeach, #Dismantle, #Revolutionize

America certainly has a weird masochist tendency— it takes the most abusive conduct before (mainstream) Americans take notice and begin to challenge their banally violent institutions… It is doubtful that ICE or Epstein would be under such scrutiny if Trump was not elected, which is quite sad

It always pains me to say it, but without the terroristic tactics by Trump & ICE, a large portion of the American public wouldn’t give a damn about the violent carceral state… Out of sight, out of mind is their mantra That won’t work for me… Abolish ICE; Blur The Border; Free Us From This Prison

Though it may only be a drop in the bucket A win for thirsty workers is a crucial win These companies only exist as the extractive pus of an exploitative capitalist disease… they and it need to be challenged wherever possible

If Harris had won, what would YOU be doing now?

Just imagine what would be happening in the US right now if instead of bickering over voting for Harris or boycotting the election, Americans actually confronted the violent institutions that made Trump’s terrorism possible?

People can vote for whoever they like, but the fundamental problems of living in an imperialist corporatized carceral necropolitical state will remain. Voting for the best warden is not enough; we need to tear down this concentration camp…

Just found out I’ve been blocked over 100 times (never blocked one) Never harassed, insulted, or belittled anyone; always engaged with empathy and good faith (if you find otherwise, please let me know so I can correct/ apologize) I guess that’s the way of the world — a loss of discourse and growth

Renee was Renee ☮️ The world is a lesser place without her But hopefully the wave of white fury will lift up, not wash out, the burning pleas for change by others!

Troll? Chat GPT? To paraphrase Audre Lorde, you can’t tear down the master’s house with the master’s tools. Engaging in the same fascist toolbox of dehumanizing and erasing others, I don’t know if that is good for progress

Let your hope be your rage, and rise up Let your goodwill be your righteous anger, wake up Hold out one hand to the sky, clasped in a fist The other open in a welcoming embrace to lift up your fallen brethren They are sick from hate, lost without empathy We need to do our best for us all

If you earned $1 every second… It would take you a day to earn $86,400 To earn 1 million dollars, it would take you fewer than 12 days To earn 1 trillion dollars, it would take 32,000 years! Incidentally, that is the same amount of time to spend a trillion if you spent a $1 every second
