Imagine doing a PhD in electricity, just so you knew how to blow up nuclear power plants and heavy water-producing facilities.

“I learned from them very early that what one does with Nazis is kill them... I am not a pacifist.”

A profile in absolute courage.

Masks are under serious threat at being banned widely due to politicization. This would be a public health disaster. If you are only wearing a mask at protests, please consider also wearing them elsewhere. The more people mask, the more we normalize masks and protect them against bans.

Every fascist uses illness and violence to disable opponents.

They disable us with covid, poverty, police violence, climate destruction, war, transphobia.

They count on ableism to make us deny this reality and to abandon each other.

Resist. Wear an n95. Use alt text. Make protests accessible.

Protest, Power, and the Violence Debate "We are told we are experiencing peace, so long as everyone is cooperating."

@prisonculture.bsky.social and I have been encouraging people to read chapter six of our book, Let This Radicalize You, which deals with the question of "violence" in social movements. We have decided to share the chapter publicly, to offer some context and grounding for the current conversation.
