In 1854, a small force of US Marshals entered the city of Boston to capture Anthony Burns, a runaway slave, and return him to Virginia in chains under the Fugitive Slave Act. When a large crowd gathered to prevent this, it was Boston police who protected the Marshals and brutalized the crowd.

FUCK ICE NOW AND FOREVER

This regime is actively looting our treasury to enrich themselves, in time they will straight up raid banks and steal from us directly. This is what zero consequences for rich white criminals looks like.

I don't know, man, I think we're all going through a lot and none of us needs to walk outside and see this right now

The new Supreme Court case about mifepristone is about more than just one abortion drug. It’s about whether conservatives can enforce a nationwide ban and we need to all be aware of the details. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

An incumbent Georgia Supreme Court justice hasn't lost reelection since the 1920s. One thing to watch out for will be if Brian Kemp uses Georgia's famous judicial "loophole" to keep conservative justices in power if the Democrats win.

Been thinking about this all morning, reading what should be really baffling takes from jounalists i usually respect. Then i remember they— or those they think of as "their own"— were just in the presence of gun violence in a place they thought of as safe. Ontological shocks & existential threats.
