"The most general statement of our politics at the present time would be that we are actively committed to struggling against racial, sexual, heterosexual, and class oppression, and see as our particular task the development of integrated analysis and practice based upon the fact that the major systems of oppression are interlocking." -- Combahee River Collective, a Black feminist collective. #BlackLivesMatter theanarchistlibrary.org/librar

Need a pulse on the Seattle housing market?

This news article follows a Black woman who has bad credit and can't find ANYONE in Seattle to rent to her.

She makes $75k and is WA State Social Worker and is homeless herself.

Absolutely insane out here that having a government job isn't enough for landlords.

Why the fuck is a credit score part of gating access to basic human needs?!

The Press Democrat · More Americans turn to living in their carsBy RUKMINI CALLIMACHI

Imagine being a wealthy CEO who spends his time claiming women belong in the kitchen and should not have control of their own bodies. Or that same CEO claiming black lives do not matter. That same CEO claiming love is only love between a man and woman. That same CEO saying, both LGBTQ+ and trans folk suffer from mental illness. Furthermore, claiming that COVID was a hoax, vaccines kill people, and is a firm, Donald Trump supporter.

You probably think, I am talking about Elon Musk, and you likely support the idea of Tesla going bankrupt, as not to support a Nazi. But who I am actually describing is Brendan Eich, the founder and CEO of Brave Browser, but when you tell people that is the case, people will argue "that is different".

European fascism was and has always been a response to the siren call of USA plantation #slaveocracy, #ManifestDestiny and post-Civil War #JimCrow. if capitalists have to pick between enriching themselves thru slavery or the labor of free citizens, they will go with slavery.

Karl Marx told us as much back in 1861:
libcom.org/library/american-ci

#MAGA is the negrofication of the white middle classes.

deal with it.

"Mar 11, 2025
Anti-woke warriors celebrate as BLM plaza outside White House demolished.
DC Mayor Muriel Bowser opted to retire BLM Plaza after Congress threatened federal funding."

This is what happens when you give #Fascists an inch!!!

"Unlike the governors of states that enjoy congressional representation, the mayor of a city without any voice in Congress does not have much leverage with a transactional President. But, #MayorBowser has signaled willingness to play a little ball with Trump this time around, saying in the conference that the city has 'bigger fish to fry' than the #BlackLivesMatter mural outside the White House, which she has signaled she will paint over. Bowser also ordered a #homeless encampment cleared Thursday after #Trump complained about such places online and she had a phone call with the administration. In what appears to be compensation for such tactical retreats, Trump appears to have scaled back plans for an executive order that would take aim at DC."
