The revolution has failed. Fascism has temporarily succeeded under the guise of reform. The only way we can destroy it is to refuse to compromise with the enemy state and its ruling class.
George Jackson, born on this day in 1941, was the revolutionary author of “Soledad Brother: The Prison Letters of George Jackson” and co-founder of the Marxist-Leninist Black Guerilla Family.
In 1970, Jackson was charged, along with two other Soledad Brothers, with the murder of prison guard John Vincent Mills in the aftermath of a prison fight. The same year, he published “Soledad Brother: The Prison Letters of George Jackson”, a combination of autobiography and manifesto addressed to a black American audience. The book became a bestseller and earned Jackson personal fame.
Jackson was killed during an attempted prison escape on August 21st, 1971. Quoting communist revolutionary Ho Chi Minh, Jackson freed twenty-six prisoners and took hostages at gunpoint. Jackson and five other men were killed.
Fay Stender, George Jackson’s former lawyer, was shot and paralyzed for her alleged betrayal of Jackson by Black Guerilla Family member Edward Glenn Brooks. Brooks entered her home, tied up her family, and forced Stender to say “I, Fay Stender, admit I betrayed George Jackson and the prison movement when they needed me most” before shooting her several times. Left paralyzed and in chronic pain, Stender testified against Brooks and committed suicide a year later.
“Settle your quarrels, come together, understand the reality of our situation, understand that fascism is already here, that people are already dying who could be saved, that generations more will live poor butchered half-lives if you fail to act. Do what must be done, discover your humanity and your love in revolution.”
George Jackson

Really hits different when this Vtuber fan account i’ve been following for a while suddenly reveals that they live in lebanon and israeli airstrikes are getting closer and closer
I think one of the things that separates terminally online geopolitics people from normal people is that being terminally online can make the whole world real, a real place where real people live.
Is there anywhere for them to evacuate to, can they run evacuations?

Love 2 see economic conditions go down the toilet in real times and the only things I hear are “everything is fine actually” or "it’s because of immigrants*.
fr, had a former coworker whom I’ve maintained a friendship with for years call me the other day and started ranting about immigrants and that he was voting for Trump
Like, you work remotely at the computer touching factory, what could this possibly mean other than your just being a massive racist? What the fuck did you think I’d say? Fucking idiot

Me and my friend had a deep conversation last week and they got me a little gift and wrote a sweet card today
based and love-and-emotional-intimacy pilled
Its so funny because I earlier I was planning on getting flowers to make them a bouquet when I go to the store next week
Its so nice having a fellow romantic as a friend
that must be super nice! wish i had more soft openly emotional friends. though uh i gotta ask…
spoiler
r ya’ll like in love or something? (cute if so )
Lol, shes straight and im in a relationship but I get why it comes off as that
aw well cute emotionally vulnerable friendships r cute too!
The coconut gays have taken me from being completely ambivalent on Chappelle roan to ready to defend her with my life.
She’s got a big sword, right? We stan a based anti-genocide warrior queen.
New bit: Someone angrily points to private prisons and says “they took our jobs!”
Under communism, all public utility vehicles like buses or garbage trucks will get regular maintenance so they don’t have loud screeching brakes that wake the masses up early and make them cranky before they start their day
I found a banana on the ground in a parking garage and I ate it and I will not apologize bc free banana
It is the way of our ancestors to eat stuff they found on the ground and not be to fussed about it.
Wake up, time for a million political ads about “securing the southern border” by a bunch of facists that are thousands of miles away
Thinking back on it, it was very strange that the “Interview with the Vampire” TV series included both anti-Communism and apologia for Nazi collaborators in the same season. I feel like that’s not something you really have to add in an adaptation.
I just can’t imagine Louis taking a moment from being a self absorbed sad sack to care. Also didn’t Lestat spend most of the twentieth rotting in a house in Louisiana being miserable?
Too many martyrs to count. Nothing else to say but god bless Marcellus Williams and god bless the hundreds of Lebanese murdered by the Zionist occupation
in a work type situation i’m realizing i’m the type who builds a lot of soft power by being a Fun Office Hang. and u know what? that’s a power that shouldn’t be underestimated
Being the one everybody talks to about everybody else is a good position to be in. Nice job
just like me fr
EDIT: def not cool enough to be a boiadeiro though : /
Inching towards getting my own apartment finally. Gonna build the fuck out of a life for myself
I have no dog in this fight but the editor who chose this photo for Winona Ryder’s Wikipedia photo is a world-class hater
Cause her eyes look really intense? That suit looks amazing on her.
They’re limited to photos that are freely licensed (Creative Commons or public domain), a lot of celebrity pages have subpar photos for this reason
I’ve just suddenly decided that Wynona would play really well as Harley Quin.
