i co-wrote, with other feminist bloggers, a letter to the US Congress asking them to reject Samuel Alito for #SCOTUS.

the lawyers in the group had a long list of cases but there was one case that stood out. we all agreed it was THE red flag about his extremism:

HIS CRUELTY TOWARDS A BLACK TEENAGE GIRL in a decision that allowed prosecutors to treat her as an adult instead of a child.

that case felt like a foreshadow of this #MAGA coup & #civilWar

🗨️ To demand a handover of weapons in the midst of a #war of aggression is so nonsensical that one needn't even speculate as to why the government in #beirut is negotiating with Israel:

Regrettably, southern #lebanon has been severely weakened by the ISR attacks and destruction; a #civilwar would serve the interests of #europe / #US as we know -

To avoid surrendering the country to Israel, the only remaining option is political division: #southlebanon #resistance

Today in Labor History May 3, 1937: The May Days began in Catalonia. This was a counterrevolution by the Spanish Republican government against radical workers and anarchists. Prior to this, the communists, socialists and anarchists had been allied against Franco’s nationalists. However, anarchist workers and their militias controlled most industries, which they had collectivized, while the communists controlled the central government and finances. As a result, this brought the various groups into conflict. To make matters worse, the Communist Party of Spain was taking orders from Moscow. And they wanted to separate the two struggles: revolution against the ruling class versus war against the nationalists. In contrast, the POUM and the anarchists saw the two struggles as one and the same. The anarchist faction included the Friends of Durruti Group and the CNT (a confederation of anarcho-syndicalist labor unions).

It's going to take US citizens dying for the cause in the US to arrest what's going on

Problem is no one really wants to die for a cause so weak. This is exactly what the confederates are hoping for

Hey is it cool if a FFL license holder offers to arm a person explicitly intending to commit an act of terrorism?

And It's totally cool that said FFL has a Type 07 (Manufacturer) paired with a Class 2 Special Occupational Tax (SOT) meaning they have legal access to machine guns.

Asking for a friend.
