there's something powerful behind the old bluff being true; if you kill me five more will take my place and sometime soon after you will never again see the light of dawn

does anyone happen to have the study handy where the number one marker for improving your economic situation was having a rail link to a major city?

all else aside i think this is the worst use of a thesaurus I've seen in years

The helicopter is low and noisy. It’s oppressive. The surveillance is palpable. 5/?

Protest number 2 of the day, this time with LUCE at the federal building. It’s bigger. 4/?

We visited Renee Good's memorial. There, we met a group of Somali Minnesotans — who too have been viciously attacked for weeks — warmly hosting everyone. Flowers & stuffed animals galore. Neighbors continually offering sambusas & hand-warmers & water. Grief. And belief. Scenes from Minneapolis:

To prepare AI agents for office work, the company is asking contractors to upload projects from past jobs, leaving it to them to strip out confidential and personally identifiable information. www.wired.com/story/openai...

sitting really heightens the odds of you getting hurt in a situation like this. keep that in mind.

a woman labeled a terrorist by US law enforcement and the White House is being simultaneously memorialized at NBA games and by major cultural icons. this regime is literally own-goaling itself to death. it’s cooked.

you’re already ahead. stay with it. minneapolis stripped these forces of legitimacy (a battle other cities won’t have to repeat). remember they are completely outmanned. their only real advantage is their organizational capacity. out-organize them & the illusion of control will collapse.

can someone with a commit bit accept my PR to fix the Constitution

March was so long that when we finished, after an hour of marching, there were still people waiting to start matching. We made a protest ouroboros. Yeah, I'm thinking we're going to win.

This is Minneapolis: -drop the kids off for a day with their grandparents -go to brunch with your wife -get a text from neighbors who don’t have enough food & can’t leave home or they might be abducted by fed govt -get groceries as helicopters roar overhead -deliver food & this vehicle passes you

Lmao apparently people near me are freaking out about a non binary teacher And I am watching the entire community come together to dunk on the much smaller group of transphobic dipshits and it is DELICIOUS The local newspaper even snarkily wrote about them and I am CRYING

Personally I think it’s better that people are radicalized by this current event than not radicalized at all. I think it’s probably bad to keep score and shame them for all the past radicalizing events that didn’t get them. Probably should just focus on what we can do together now

Minneapolis - Border Patrol stops a protester following them, and tells the car it’s their “first and final warning” to quit.

I can't believe local government is cowering while local normies are trying to protect their community. Just letting guys with guns threaten people like this

i think the most damning society is the YouTube headlines for centrist news that are all soyface and like ICE CLAIMS INNOCENCE?????

current day management technique is also a huge source of deskilling of especially problem-chunking tasks but people moved further down the pole instead

Lmao

That's where we are (again, like it or not) in an era of multi-factional strife where victory is less about broad coalitions (again, none are on offer) than ones that, if smaller, are more cohesive and determined.

There had been tensions between 和勇 especially at the start of the pro-democracy protests. 和 often felt 勇 was probably a bit too disorderly. While 勇 often felt like they were not supported enough by 和. But divided we fall. So 和 and 勇 must unite. Source: Telegram (L: Sep 2019, R: Aug 2019)

It's times like this that remind us to remind you, That the Police Take Sides

Honestly, so much of the anger (not all but much of it) directed at the NYT should go to the editorial side who direct the coverage, the placement, the attention, and the terrible headlines. Yet they get to hide while they put the reporters out front to get yelled at.

WSJ investigation: In the past 6 months ICE agents have fired at vehicles 13 times, leading to: * 8 people shot * 5 of which were U.S. citizens * 2 died * no victims drew a weapon The playbook: Agents box in a vehicle, block attempts to flee, then fire www.wsj.com/us-news/vide...

Local security services have sided with those of the central government, in defiance of local civilian politicians, against the populace

after watching that video I nominate officer ross for omelas child

remember Elon musk no didn't think so

so we're rounding these guys up and sending them all to college right.

it's weird how ICE use verbal orders with each other and don't really seem to know each other's voices and keep seeming to get confused by the crowd, right? lol

these riot control rounds seem new, is it an escalation of force ladder thing... or did they run out of the others?
