Will history remember us as revolutionaries or circus bears?
The person who made this video knows what’s up. Listen carefully. Sit with what he’s saying. Then decide:
Revolutionary or circus bear?
There isn’t another option. (Other than fucking fascist, obvs)

To quote a great Mastodonian:
"calling your representatives and senators is like calling the boyfriend who said he was gonna kill you and telling him you don’t like that kind of idea and you hope he would consider not killing you"

"The extraordinary story of Luxembourg resistance fighter Yvonne Useldinger
Arrested by the Gestapo when pregnant, Useldinger was separated from her daughter and sent to a concentration camp, keeping a secret diary in the process
(. . .)
At 15, she was already taking to the podium to give political speeches. The working conditions in the steel industry troubled her, and this was the initial driving force behind her becoming a dissident: her own convictions, rather than her family legacy. So much so that, in 1938, she decided to join the Communist Party of Luxembourg (KPL). And that’s when her life began to change.
Shortly after joining the KPL, she met Arthur Useldinger. A strong man of firm convictions, he had just lost his job at the ARBED factory because of his communist activism. They were two souls rebelling against the system, and they found common ground in their urgent desire to fight the injustices they perceived in the world. They married in April 1940.
Less than a month later, Nazi troops invaded Luxembourg. 'Then came that moment when Arthur and I asked ourselves: Do we continue to resist? Yes or no. Will we be strong enough? And then I said: ‘We have to take up this fight because it is something powerful in human history,’' recounted Yvonne, now Useldinger, in her diary. In the early days of the occupation, they both went underground.
(. . .)
In the basement of the house in Steinfort, they printed the underground magazine *Die Wahrheit* (The Truth) under the cover of night. It was on these pages that the largest opposition movement against the Reich began to take shape: the general strike of 1942."

Sorry, but having the genocide-supporting, worker-backstabbing DNC lecture me about morality is nothing more than a sick joke. They're soaked in the blood of innocent children, and the whole world knows it.
The DNC BROUGHT us fascism and Trump. Now they're fundraising off it, while still supporting the oligarchy and fascism with all their might.
NO. They can go fuck themselves. They need to go up against the wall as soon as possible, along with their oligarch owners and their Republican brothers-in-arms.

Protests in Bolivia are demanding the resignation of Rodrigo Paz, the country’s first right-wing president in decades. Since Paz took office in November 2025, the country has been placed under austerity measures that have led to a surge in poverty rates for much of Bolivia’s rural and working-class population. We speak to Kathryn Ledebur, director of the Andean Information Network in Cochabamba, Bolivia, about the monthlong protests. “Bolivia is a country where, for 19 years, Indigenous people and social movements enjoyed equal rights and political inclusion,” she explains. “There’s a huge break between what Paz promised and what he’s done in practice, which is select a white, upper-middle-class Cabinet with only two women, reject any genuine dialogue, reject interaction with the Bolivian social movements, or even have any empathy for people and what they’re going through day to day.” Ledebur also discusses the Paz administration’s growing ties with the Trump administration as the U.S. seeks to expand its so-called war on drugs throughout Latin America.

You're setting up a straw man. I believe we should vote AND we should work for a #GeneralStrike. It doesn't do us any good to take to the streets if we then turn around and let the fascists currently in charge win again. And it doesn't do us any good to vote if we don't build up our unions and work towards a general strike. The two concepts are interdependent on each other.
