RE: mstdn.social/@MaryAustinBooks/…
I agree with OP. We can discuss different tactics, each can be as valid as another, but the root of all of them has to be to *act*. You can refuse to participate in the broken twisted imperialist system but if you don't ALSO, in any real way, ACT, you aren't doing anything.
And yes, you can act in a real way in your home, you can act in a real way online, but you have to do WAY more than just post about how pure and cynical you are or whatever. Posting Isn't Praxis.

@AmandaMarcotte with the facts. If only more #media would do the same.
"It’s worth remembering the context for what’s happening: Being undocumented in the U.S. is not a crime, no matter what hyperbolic language Republicans may use. It’s a civil offense, not even as bad as a speeding ticket. Observing federal agents doing their jobs is perfectly legal and, frankly, a duty of concerned citizens."

As a U.S. citizen, I can only shake my head in shame. To all of our allies and friends:
I'm so sorry! I didn't vote for him. I hope the midterm elections can make him a "lame duck".
I truly hope that the next presidential elections bring us a more presidential president.

Considering what #MitchMcConnell did to prevent #BarackObama from putting #MerrickGarland on the #SCOTUS after Antonio Scalia died, it wouldn’t surprise me if the cretin from #Kentucky told his staff to keep his death secret until the #midterms decided his Senate replacement!
Governor #AndyBeshear should name his replacement effective immediately, unless McConnell proves that he is alive.

Never let these genociders rest.
Report: Hind Rajab Foundation has welcomed reports that Israeli genocider Itamar Ben-Gvir has cancelled his planned trip to NY for a UN policing conference.
He cancelled the trip following calls for his prosecution & planned anti-genocide demonstrations.
Israeli leaders have travelled the world expecting impunity. That expectation is beginning to erode.

This will probably be one of the most iconic photos of our time.
This is a picture taken by Reuters of members of the white nationalist group called ‘Patriot Front’ riding the metro into DC to march on the capitol for the 250th anniversary celebration of the United States. It was taken today, July 4th, 2026.
Those of us who rightly remember American history, we see only one true patriot in this photo, and she isn’t wearing a mask.
Only cowards wear masks. - Rev. Benjamin Cremer

Report: "Spain blacklists Palantir over domestic security concerns"
"Spain's government launched a blacklist of CIA-backed Palantir Technologies from public & private state-controlled entities".
"Other European states have taken similar steps as Palantir’s reputation for gross human rights violations spreads".
So glad to see Trump's constant push for destroying the planet comes back to bite him on his "special day"

of course as usual the rich will hide in their AC-ed mansions, but since it's American independence day one can hope that Trump will have to be outside at some point and they haven't yet found a way to cool the outside air...
"Professor fired over #CharlieKirk post could receive $1.9M in settlement."
thehill.com/homenews/education…
This is just the latest in a series. Universities that disciplined professors for criticizing Charlie Kirk knew or should have known that they were violating those professors' free-speech rights. But they did it to align themselves with the Trump admin, even on the wrong side of the law. Consider these settlements and damage awards to be a cowardice tax.

Election wins prove pro-Palestine US campus protests didn’t fail: Activists
"In New York, Darializa Avila Chevalier, an activist who participated in the pro-Palestine protests at Columbia University, won a Democratic congressional primary against a five-term incumbent.
Avila Chevalier’s win was one of several victories for pro-Palestine candidates in New York last week.
Last year, Zohran Mamdani was elected mayor of New York City, in part thanks to the efforts of young pro-Palestine activists who powered his campaign.
In Colorado on Tuesday, Melat Kiros, who was fired from her law firm in 2023 for a letter defending Palestinian rights supporters from accusations of anti-Semitism, ousted a House member who had been in Congress for nearly 30 years.
Candidates backed by supporters of Palestinian rights also won key races in Pennsylvania and New Jersey."
