A Toulouse ce soir, le rassemblement en soutien à Montpellier, Lille & Grenoble s'est rapidement lancé en cortège déter à travers la ville. 350 personnes ont défilé. "Montpellier vivra ! Montpellier vaincra !", "Flics, fascistes, hors de nos facs !", "Siamo tutti antifasciti !"
I guess I should do another #introduction: I'm Ben, a tech worker in Portland, member of DSA (and its anarchist formation, LSC). Married with three kids, and I come to leftism the long way; was raised a conservative Mormon. Interests: linguistics (what I studied), sci-fi, organizing, and basically any art/lit that is weird as fuck.

No one needs to starve. No one needs to freeze. No one needs to die. There is enough for everyone. More empty homes than all the people without them, more food than grocers can even sell. The labor and the materials to end scarcity exist now. It is not a far-off dream. We can end scarcity in this life.
it's like... you shouldn't just be able to change "open" to do something other than open shit.
