The problem isn't the construction workers who want to be compensated for their labor. The problem is the capitalists who hoard homes for profit.

The problem isn't the medical workers who want to be compensated for their labor. The problem is the CEOs who hoard medical care for profit.

Those who say that housing or medical care are a human right are not saying that the workers should be forced to work for free. They're saying that it shouldn't be hoarded for profit. If the only costs were the materials and labor, it wouldn't be anywhere near as expensive as it is now.

"The left" are always saying to tip your servers. "The left" are always saying to pay for artists with money and not with "exposure". "The left" are always saying that workers should be paid a living wage. Clearly it's not "the left" devaluing people's labor.

Don't let Republicans distract you with gimmicky culture war bills. Republican policies are making Americans' lives shorter and worse in every conceivable way.

Shooting ICE agents doesn't violate their rights at all in many cases, particularly in recent cases. The main moral/strategic reason to not shoot ICE agents is that it would risk escalation. But if ICE is escalating anyway, then past a certain point, this reason goes out the window. It might well be good if more people shot back.

ICE agents often act in ways that make them look like random thugs anyway, and it is often okay or good to shoot random thugs in self-defense and in defense of others. On a personal emotional level, morals aside, I want ICE agents to be afraid they might get shot, and I want them sometimes to get shot. I think this is sometimes morally good as well, though I leave it an open question how often.

I'm saying this on Tumblr and not on Facebook, because I think I'm entitled to say it, and I am less afraid of getting in trouble on Tumblr than on Facebook.

So many bizarro hot takes about First Nations people only make sense if you see “Native” as a quirky little ethnic category that you put down on a census and not, you know, a type of citizenship you can have from one of several sovereign fucking nations that we have treaties with. Like. “They’re only 2% Cherokee” – huh, interesting, tell me, what is the genetic requirement for Cherokee Nation citizenship? Spoiler alert, there fucking isn’t one, and almost all of the tribes which do have a blood quantuming requirement for citizenship had that concession extracted by their colonial conquerors at gunpoint.

Like. Imagine pulling this shit today. Imagine if the US invaded France, and forced their entire population into a reservation somewhere in eastern Slovakia. Imagine if the government of France signed treaties to try and guarantee some small remainder of rights for French citizens in that reservation. And then imagine if US citizens constantly hemmed and hawed about whether the legitimate, elected French government of this reservation should have the ability to continue to govern its own citizens, especially given the fact that not everyone in that reservation is even very ethnically Gaulish… I mean, can someone who’s only 2% French by blood really be considered a French citizen? Shouldn’t we make efforts to ensure that their children can’t continue to claim to be French, or be governed by the French legal jurisdiction?

The whole thing is just such wildly ludicrous propaganda about the nature and purpose of tribal sovereignty, and it is mind-blowing how many people have completely bought into it.
