[Decolonize Cascadia @DecolonizeCas1]

For anyone interested, I'm going to switch accounts to @decolonizecasc because in my infinite wisdom, I set this up as an anonymous account with a burner email I no longer have access to. And also, folks know me on here so what's the point. See you on the alt account~

@black_anarcho Do you want a few, or a whole list? Cause I have a whole list..

[Decolonize Cascadia @DecolonizeCas1]

@abolishICE___ According to SPD, any protective equipment *is* an act of aggression, sooo... 😂

[Decolonize Cascadia @DecolonizeCas1]

@IronProle Cool I think I'm AnarchoPNW

[Decolonize Cascadia @DecolonizeCas1]

@IronProle Cheers. I'll see if I run across you lol

Fuck probability.

What are the possibilities?

#DualPower

[Black Socialists in America (BSA) @BlackSocialists]

Everyone here ultimately has two options:

1) Sit back and just let forces of reaction grow in power, taking us to our collective demise as a species.

Or...

2) Fight for something different.

If you’re for option two, then hop on in.

There is work to be done.

Let’s get to it.

[Black Socialists in America (BSA) @BlackSocialists]

No more fatalistic, doomsday bullshit.

We are here. We are alive. And we know what’s possible.

That means we fight for it.

And we have more of a chance to fight than many others around the world (people have fought and won with less).

Our biggest barrier is psychological now.

[Capitol Hill Community Center @CapHillCenter]

We also ask for beer! We don’t tell people how to live, we just provide what they need to be comfortable. We also provide clean needles. Have you ever been a social worker? SO MANY potential mental health incidents can be deescalated by offering the person a cigarette. #mutualaid

@ashIsProtesting Also, if you do accept, be careful. There are a lot of powerful people near it. Whatever information you can make public is highly valuable (even if anonymized), and they will recognize that.

[Decolonize Cascadia @DecolonizeCas1]

@ashIsProtesting It's valuable having a voice on the inside to legitimate community concerns about ineffectiveness. If it works, more the better, and if not, you can publicize why it's an ineffective strategy for community efforts. I've seen nothing useful come from it yet, for what it's worth.

[Decolonize Cascadia @DecolonizeCas1]

For those of you who aren't sure what to do, reach out. I promise you there are groups that have been working on this for decades in your area. You don't have to be on the street or in the flames to be effective. Read this thread for more information. https://t.co/0mKQhYnZ8E

Many people are looking at the totality of this monster of Capitalism, white supremacy, patriarchy, and other social systems of domination, and are overwhelmed, asking members of our organization, “What do I do?”

The answer is:

Start building dual power where you’re at...

[Decolonize Cascadia @DecolonizeCas1]

We in the US live in the core of the largest imperial power the world has ever known. Do not be taken by surprised when the violence used to defend that power escalates beyond anything we have seen before. Get gear now. Train. Organize. Study. Know and trust your neighbors.

[Decolonize Cascadia @DecolonizeCas1]

Prepare alternate supply lines. Grow food in the unkempt ditches and urban overgrowth. Make friends with your local machine shops. This time has been a long time coming, and it may be another decade before it snaps. Our role now is to know and support on another in anticipation.

[NKVDuck @IronProle]

Non profit directors never had to rub two eighths together and make a quarter pound so they can't understand how we went from zero to something without a co sign or a city contract LMAOOOO

[Martin Banks @WarlockBranis]

The police at the #seattleprotests just ran over an injured mans head with their bikes. @SeattlePD is this how you train your officers?

[Jesse Hagopian @JessedHagopian]

Every antiracist educator needs to start class w/ a discussion about what #JusticeForBreonnaTaylor should look like & what people need to do to achieve it.

Then teach about the origins of police & the history of police brutality.

White nationalists inside and outside of police forces and the military are merging into one heavily-armed white nationalist army and we should all be very, very alarmed by this.
