GrutjesWow. Bluesky has just welcomed and verified ICE.
For anyone still thinking Bsky is a real alternative to Twitter: No, it's not.
Mastodon is. Bsky is just X at its infancy.

William Gillis 🏴There are many types of material deterrence, here is one example: https://www.amazon.com/This-Nonviolent-Stuffll-Get-Killed/dp/082236123X
narcissusWelp! finished it. added it to the immer autonom reading recs. really wish i had had the emotional resources to read it and publish it originally when william first mentioned it to me. i haven't been able to read anything, let alone something that long, from beginning to end like that in nearly a year. it's very thorough and refreshing.

What’s In A Slogan? “KYLR” and Militant Anarcha-feminism
An anarchist walks out of a punk show to smoke. On her vest are anarchist patches with various standard slogans, “No Gods No Masters,” “Death To Transphobes,” “Kill Your Local Rapist,” “All Cops Are Bastards,” “Punch Nazis,” “From The River To The Sea Palestine Will Be Free,” “Make Total Destroy,” “The Only Good Cop Is...
don't know anything about the case william is talking about here--i'm sure it's to do with circles of real-world anarchist scenes with which i have had no contact at all--but i am immediately reminded of anonsee, the woman repeatedly credibly accused of rape and abuse, who wrote a studious and malicious "callout" of her victim(s). that case is extra relevant because of how it intersects with the "KYLR" situation, because anonsee accused her victim of personally *fabricating* the slogan specifically as an attempt to "get her lynched." she easily weaponized the exact liberal brainrot of "if we believe survivors, it will be immediately used to darvo real victims!!!" to do the very thing those liberals think they're safeguarding against. food for thought
i am about halfway through william gillis's "what's in a slogan? KYLR and militant anarcha-feminism," a text i avoided for a long time because i knew that its subject matter would be triggering and distressing to me, and i am happy to report that it is very good. long and therefore thorough, and cathartic to read instead of triggering.
i'm also doing this after struggling to white-knuckle my way thru several *significantly* shorter and punchier zines because of the deterioration in my faculties/spoons and ability to sustain attention often thru even a single sentence, which is remarkable to me. anyway i think something william doesnt get enough credit for is being a very engaging writer.
Gwen Snyder is uncivilThese chuds are all LITERALLY SIEG HEILING ON THE STAGE now because they know the mainstream media is too chickenshit to report it plainly.
That is where "just ignore them, they're trolling" got us
We need these symbols to be legible to people outside the far right, we need to translate them, we need to make plain to everyone what they are making plain to each other.
Dems spent the past DECADE scolding antifascists about pointing out the dogwhistles and oh hey look what happened
This shit is so fucking insufferable.
We can walk and chew gum at the same time.
And yes actually we should call out Nazi symbolism performed on a national stage, whether or not they think they're being cute about it
AnarchoNinaWritesSo, NGL, I did not actually have "Canada and the UK announce they will enforce the ICC warrants on Netanyahu" on my bingo card.
If the US's plan is to strongarm its allies into imploding the ICC, they're going to have a lotta allies to contend with.
I presumed the countries choosing to officially ignore an ongoing genocide would present a unified reactionary front - but umm, apparently not? I do not know if it's within the US's POWER to compel this many states directly. Seems unlikely.
