I wrote about my time in Minneapolis last week, about what is involved in creating bottom-up, decentralized networks of care. margaretkilljoy.substack.com/p/our-neighb...

Hey it's me, your favorite Social Media Cryptid! I'm running a flash fundraiser for our local anti-ICE community network in Ventura County. These postcards are going out for $5 a pop. I'm @Lucy-Bellwood on Venmo. DM me with how many you'd like and a good mailing address and we'll make it happen 💛

I keep thinking “my god the people they’ve killed seem like exceptionally good folks” and I think the lesson there is that they’re not exceptional, but that wonderful people abound and that a baseline distrust in humanity is a shitty conservative trope that privileges power over collective strength

years and years of avoiding plain language and the active voice do make the choice to use it more impactful, I suppose

Nuremberg trials for ICE is the moderate position

Experts who have followed authoritarian regimes abroad can tell you a lot about day-after reprisals to mass movements, which look a hell of a lot like today's killing

A buddy in MN shared a drawing a classmate of his kid made. They've been making thank you notes for parents who have volunteered to carpool them to school so their own parents don't have to risk waiting out by the bus stop.

At some point, a Democratic governor needs to say, "I want all of our patriotic residents to exercise their constitutional rights to protest the federal government." Encourage people to protest this authoritarian government instead of trying to reflexively tamp down protests.

a major american city is being forced to close schools because armed government agents are raiding and pepper spraying and terrorizing children and teachers for social media content

I don't know who needs to hear this, but cops are not allowed to shoot people just because you didn't do what they said. That is called murder when they do that. Some cops are working hard to convince people otherwise.

They managed to both sides something video taped from 4 different angles

This is the only correct position, and the inevitable response from knee-jerk centrist reactionaries of "it won't work" is not a valid objection. Every member of Congress has a duty to say that what Noem has been doing is not acceptable.

ICE is murdering us in the streets

I feel like I haven’t even been properly lied to about the purposes of this war

As it happens, I have experience with high-level government demands to stop an explosive, accurate story from running, and I also have experience with 60 Minutes spiking a story I was involved in, so I have thoughts about the travesty at CBS. If you want some journalism anecdotes, here are a lot:

Yes!!!

Any em dash fans here? We're currently working on a Windows-wide keyboard keyboard shortcut for em dash and em dash, to make it easier to input for those that need it 😊 blogs.windows.com/windows-insi... #WindowsInsiders

I’m an idiot in a lot of ways, but being anti-war has never failed me.

If you or anyone you know is 16-20 years old: you will not go fight in this stupid fucking war. No you won't. And anyone who tries to get you to can go fuck themselves, terminally.

Kiké Hernández has good opinions

ICE and the entire department of homeland security was only created during the W. Bush administration. Like, The Bachelorette has been on TV longer than ICE has been a federal agency. Abolish ICE is a very reasonable and doable demand.

Bravo, Glendale. Bravo. More, please. And it's time for Democrats to loudly say, "Abolish ICE." Someone please stand up and have a spine.

I don't like the Thunder and I can't figure out why.

They should give Aaron Gordon the bucket just based on rule of cool

I've got a joke about Thomas Pynchon that you've never seen before.

I've got a joke about Professor X but you already know it.

Judge me based on my favorite commanders.

20 years ago today was one of the most important days of my life: the first time my college anti-war group kicked the military recruiters off our campus. That day taught me that this shit can fucking work. If you set good goals & you work hard & you trust each other, you can affect social change.

In college I took a World History of the 1960s class whose thesis was the future the '60s promised — that Aquarian utopia — still exists, but that "you have to dig to dig it." I wonder if the professor still believes that. Or if I do, for that matter.

Gambit's shameful role in the Mutant Massacre we later found out wasn't just recruiting the Marauders but also he badly fucked up Scrambler's direct deposit form and it took that dude like 6 weeks to get his paycheck.

Ok I did the 25 album thing everyone's doing. Alphabetically because like fuck I'm gonna try and rank these, it was hard enough cutting it down this far.

Lots of ppl here worried about an "echo chamber". As if any platform could ever be the digital town square of perfectly representative discourse that social media was hyped to be 15 years ago. It cannot. That was always a lie invented by self-important tech CEOs.
