Holy fuck jesus emissary of the prophets no
If your revolution or politics doesn't include active fore thought about disabled or not white people, throw it in the trash
If your plan refuses to put the stage on disabled or non-white people, put your plan in the trash.
If you refuse to rewrite your plan to include disabled or non-white people, I'm putting you in the trash.

The truth about this guy will be informative..but it will really anger you first, just like it did with me.
Why ‘Just Ignore Them’ Is Terrible Advice for Dealing With Neo-Nazis
"But, to the surprise of no one who remembers hearing it themselves, it turns out “just ignore it” is not an effective solution to violence."
portland / cops / raids / important!
from the PDX IWW GDC:
Earlier today a comrade in Portland had their home raided by the Portland Police in relation to one of the recent demonstrations. The Portland Police detained this activist on charges including rioting, criminal mischief, and disorderly conduct. The police seized many items of clothing, some goggles, and walkie talkies. In these situations, remember to get all paperwork from the officers and look it over to ensure they are only taking what is listed on the warrant. Take pictures of any damage. Do not talk to the police. Once the police have left, or you are released, immediately contact the National Lawyer's Guild, your comrades, and the GDC (that's us!) to get the word out. It’s important to communicate about what is going on, and be upfront with your comrades and community about what happened while interacting with the police, and anything you learned in that process. We are stronger and safer when we openly share information and support each other through these experiences.
ProJared, ableism
You know, for someone who is supposed to be innocent, Jared sure does love using the language of abusers and narcissists to assert his innocence. Not to mention his ableism is disgusting, calling his accusers mentally ill and dismissing them on that basis.
Oh, and look, someone already did the work of picking apart that pathetic video so you don't have to : https://twitter.com/Zenrotto/status/1166428394373992448

Literally all the conversation about him on fediverse was fine.
Was able to stay calm and didn't have a twinge of anxiety about it
I see memes on Facebook about his "innocence" and only now do I feel sick to my stomach and dizzy

@Jo I think he still is, he's attacking someone for having neurological conditions, calling them a liar.

if they are converting your effort into cash, you're a worker, and you need a union

it's a bummer but not a surprising one that youtube has refused to negotiate with the youtubers union

at least the article refers to these folks as workers, which youtube itself won't
