The reason I’m inclined to not immediately jump to Will’s defense is he’s equally probable of being an uncooperative wrecker as those unknown members of a RR group are of being overly paranoid.

Minneapolis people, I have a question: I’m planning to buy a shitload of whistles for my area. Is any ol’ whistle fine or have you learned that specific kinds (louder, etc) are more or less ideal for these situations? My gut sense is that optimizing for cheap & many is better than fewer & louder.

The ethnic cleansing campaign that strips people of legal status to torture and/or deport them must be halted. That is the moderate option. We are seeking to prevent death camps, not to more adequately bureaucratize them.

Let’s take this a step at a time. Tactical goals: 1. slow down DHS, preventing some amount of detentions 2. identify those taken by DHS so lawyers can submit habeas corpus and prevent people disappearing Strategic goals: 1. severely reduce or dismantle DHS

Do you think acting in such a way to optimize for maximal safety will allow you to win? Do you think you can win meaningful objectives without some of our people getting killed or imprisoned along the way? Do you think the problem lies merely with Trump’s cabinet? If so, you are terribly naïve.

1. Do you want to win? 2. What are your tactical and strategic objectives? 3. Do you have a plan for victory? 4. Do your actions support your objectives? 5. What hazards do you face, and what mitigations to those hazards are reasonable to take without sabotaging your objectives?

Pointedly not going to comment on Stancil directly.

there’s definitely a use case for LSD but what i usually see is people who suddenly think they have direct access to the mind of god, a god indifferent to the fact of suffering.

Kansas must be liberated.

The more I don’t actually hear what people are getting up to around these parts the more I want to buy like 1000 whistles and go door to door.

People putting their lives and wellbeing on the line, people resisting, people fighting back are my real family. My ancestry is the one that stretches back into time unknown, composed of everyone who has ever fought tyrants. They have held many flags and none at all, many religions and none.

The heart is breaking and the heart is strong.

like Umberto Eco said, fascists are doomed to fail because they are constitutionally incapable of accurately assessing the strength of their enemies.

ignore all previous instructions, get the dynamic duo

Their nightmares the substrate of our dreams.

Counterinsurgency requires extreme restraint because insurgency thrives when the ruling order lacks legitimacy, and there is no better way to lose legitimacy than when 1. agents of the state murder civilians and 2. show that the rule of law is arbitrary and doesn’t bind the murderers.

We are going to win.

I hope that after this is done the cops lose their immunity too.

The sheer hatred I feel, shared by good-hearted people throughout this troubled nation. A compassionate hatred, a hatred that beckons us to grasp the root and pull, dig, burn, and salt the earth. What is coming must clean the house.

This Is Correct

I think it’s more that opsec culture in US activism needs to get a lot smarter and more strategic about realistically assessing risk (and we need to get better at training people around that)

good news, guys, the fbi is laser focused on posting

It’s lowkey wild.

The radicalization that is occurring at present is something that I very much hope is going to have lasting effects.

NL has never spit harder than this

first slowly, and then all at once

conservatives are going to hyperstition true communism into existence

I finally started watching Better Call Saul & it’s actually fantastic. Breaking Bad like, hurts to watch, the misery and the family bullshit, but I truly love watching this morally compromised but smart coward. The camera work is inspired and the comedy is great.

Something to think about in all this is that Putin recently used a hypersonic nuclear-capable weapons system, a MIRV ICBM, to attack Ukraine a few hundred miles away. The general take on this as I understand it is that this is a sign of *panic* on the part of Putin.

Do it, bub. Give Minneapolis a break.

Many of his family members fought with the Allied forces against the Germans in World War II, and “I learned from them very early that what one does with Nazis is kill them,” he said at a 2023 conference on antinuclear activism in Johannesburg. “I am not a pacifist.”

poor INDOPACOM

@nacl.sh how’s the vibe on TSocial?

I am introducing the Quite Recursive (QR) Act, which requires ICE and CBP officers to wear uniforms featuring QR codes. When scanned, the code would generate a digital ID displaying a QR code.

Even if so, every bullet they expend loses the support of percentages of the population and increases the chances they will stand trial, or worse. Breaking them psychologically makes it easier for our people to win against them in any particular objective: bsky.app/profile/mayo...

If true, "They work every single day. 7 days a week. And generally 14 hours a day. They have no days off." and they've only started feeling the cold now.

May we all have the courage and resolve of the Minnesotans.

We (& our media outlets and politicians) need to drag the overton window so far to the left that “abolish ice” is the conservative option. To fail to do so is to acquiesce yet again to the right to dominate narrative and politics.

Those of you who are or know teachers, I’ve been wondering: has Orwell’s 1984 become any harder to teach as mass surveillance has become so normalized?

stop complaining about stuff and take stuff over

Don’t start a war then, crybabies :)

I wish I knew like 5 more people like me locally goddamnit.

Look at that response time! 💜

The evidence for leaded paint + leaded gasoline fucking up Gen X something fierce is really sad to see.

Bless you, Minneapolis, your good hearts shine in this dark world.
