Join us Wednesday!
Heather Ann Thompson joins Chenjerai Kumanyika to discuss Fear and Fury, her new book on Bernie Goetz, white rage, vigilantism, and the politics of public safety in New York and beyond. A sharp look at how that 1984 shooting still echoes today.

"International Women’s Day was never meant to be a platform for high profile women to build their influence. Its roots lie in the socialist movements of the early twentieth century, when working-class women organised collectively against exploitation, political exclusion and poverty wages."
Very well written piece on Iran by Sirantos Fotopoulos, republished by Tempest

A paraphrase but close enough…
this is negligibly different than footage of US occupying forces in Iraq menacing civilians
Headline: "CBS Newsroom Turmoil Over ICE Agent ‘Internal Bleeding’ Story"
Response: F*ck the CBS Newsroom. They are now in the business of justifying state murder. Quit in protest. "There's always work at the post office." (I'm aware there isn't "always work at the post office". Movie expression.)
"Mass activity fosters independent Left politics, strategy, and organization. These are the preconditions for developing a systemic alternative to capitalism."
5pm today!
Protest at the Old Guilford County Courthouse on Market Street downtown.
The Tempest Collective statement in opposition to the Trump administration’s ongoing criminal actions in Venezuela
Israel’s genocide in Gaza set a global norm that views extermination as a 'natural' part of how nations and paramilitary groups wage war. We are already seeing this in Sudan.

STILL without a US distributor. YET it was the year’s highest grossing Oscar-Doc AND it took home the big prize. Many in the house stood. Others didn’t even clap. This award matters. Their speech matters. Palestinian lives must matter. That US distributor better be rolling ‘round the bend.
Prominent St. Louis rabbi Jeffrey Abraham recently wrote there are "no 'innocent civilians' in Gaza," and endorsed the belief that Palestinians are "animals." The lack of uproar in the Jewish community shows how widely accepted these views are.

"The only way for the Left to respond to this all-out assault on both equality and the forces fighting for it is to return to the I.W.W. credo that an injury to one is an injury to all."
Following an overwhelming membership vote in favor of a resolution opposing #scholasticide in #Gaza, the Council of the American Historical Association vetoed the decision. Daniel Johnson reports on the events and plans to challenge this decision.
In solidarity with the Ukrainian struggle for self-determination and its defense of basic democratic rights, we republish the statement of the Ukraine Solidarity Network-U.S. on the third anniversary of the Russian invasion of #Ukraine
If you want human rights, ecological rights , democracy, and power of, for, and by the people, stop voting for Dems and join a revolutionary socialist organization.
The Dems are a capitalist party and are thus beholden to maintaining the status quo, even if it means giving up power to would-be fascists or actual fascists until the pendulum swings their way again. It is not reformable. The Dems care not for you and me, they care for money and power.
October 2024 New York Magazine photo of Kamala Harris with the headline: “The Race Is Close Because Harris Is Running a Brilliant Campaign - Stop complaining; the centrism is working.”
We have got to send the Democratic Party to the dustbin of history. Having been a Dem my whole life until 2018, I kept waiting for them to really kick it in and push for reforms to our government. Years of disappointment Not only did it never happen, it never will.

Weekly meeting - Join us this Monday, Feb. 10 at 7pm to hear Kristen Godfrey give a talk about their Tempest article, “Borders are prisons and prisons are borders.” Link to the article in comments.
The offices of the Rutgers academic union were defaced with pro-Israel slogans just before a vote on divesting from the Gaza genocide. This blunt intimidation reflects the impunity afforded Zionists, and the urgent need to end Zionist hegemony.
