What this man went through is unjust and traumatic. A reminder that cops can fuck with you for no reason. Read the whole thread. As Divestspd notes, the levels of not running on this guy in the video are off the charts. Just calmly trying to open his milk and gets harrassed for no reason but racism

Ugh paw enforcement. Yes acab includes paw patrol

Lol. California's paw enforcement mask ban had a carve out so that it doesn't apply to state police

🧵This is the same thing done in the Border Patrol. Any time a cop uses force, it requires an investigation. And when they know they are in the wrong, like the supervisor was when he threw a handcuffed man on the ground, then they must create a pretext for the use of force.

The framing of this post is credulous in the extreme. The lie described as a " new warning" below is that taking Tylenol during pregnancy causes autism. I don't know what the other two bullets are about and articles paywalled but I bet they are bullshit too

When flagship programs are underfunded by Congress, NASA & NSF have to find that money elsewhere, which means cutting programs that are paying the salaries of researchers and people supporting research. Bottom line - stop calling it "cutting waste" when the gov't cuts science. It's mass layoffs.

You guys, so many Romance girlies are reading "On Tyranny" that they've broken the Goodreads recommendations algorithm. 10/10; no notes. #romancelandia

Great piece from @alexdugganreports.bsky.social out today on the federal government’s orders to pursue heightened charges and media frenzies for nonviolent protesters, and how that is playing out in Eastern Washington:

I wrote about Kirk’s organizing in the INW. rangemedia.co/charlie-kirk...

I really want Kira and Odo to do more stupid shit together

AND THEN THEY LOST. THEY ALL FUCKING LOST TO REPUBLICANS. IT WAS FIFTEEN YEARS AGO AND THEY NEVER GOT ELECTED AGAIN BECAUSE PEOPLE JUST VOTED FOR THE REPUBLICAN. DO ACTUALLY NOT FUCKING COMPREHEND WHY THAT HAPPENED

It's 2005: white male liberals are saying abortion is a distraction from the important issues. It's 2025: somehow white male liberals are still saying abortion is a distraction from the important issues.

Have not found the cursed knowledge but this came up in search results and I guess I missed it at the time

Lenin Riefenstahl had a scheduled visit to Hollywood, but the Nazis did Kristallnacht the week befofe her trip, so everyone boycotted her EXCEPT WALT, who gave her a whole day long tour of his studio (although he wouldn't show her new work because the projectionists might realize what was happening)

I fuckin' hate von Braun, motherfucker should've been tied face up beneath one of his own V-2 rockets instead of being given a sinecure

Haven't watched colbert in years but the speed I clicked on this when I saw he brought back the word... We'll be right back with Jake tapper though

“We have to live with each other” Okay listen I am perfectly content to live in the same country with these people provided they stop trying to dominate and kill everyone they don’t like, I don’t think that’s an unreasonable ask

The tattoo. More people to make famous

Hey let's make this guy famous. He brutally assaulted at least one protestor in Chicago yesterday, see thread from @jennbudd.bsky.social

I sick and I'm grumpy

to be fair the police in Spokane are the second most violent in the entire country, and have no independent review at all, and probably don't want to lose their free reign to randomly attack locals they see prosecuting this as opening a can of worms which contain lawsuits against themselves

Whoever said this country was three plantations in a long trench coat wasn’t wrong

oh fuck off

The only reason I'm even posting on this stupid app is the mayor of my town that I worked for on an election campaign 7 years ago instituted a curfew and sent in the cops when we had an incident like this in Spokane. This is what solidarity with protestors actually looks like. It is possible to lead

9) Here you see other agents pulling her attacker away, telling him to stop bc even they see he is out if control.

Jenn knows what she's talking about. The problem, of course, is cops and prosecutors are mostly jealous that they aren't getting to be the ones brutalizing people. Not gonna hold my breath for charges but it is still important to point out the illegality and immorality of what these goons are doing

State Senator Graciela Guzman is out here in front of the facility demanding the release of two of her constituents (who are U.S. citizens), asking to speak with federal agents. No response from them so far. Shes putting on a respirator.

If you're a white leftist who wants to be an organizer, the #1 way I know coalitions will fail is if you're snide to Black people online. Calling marginalized folks cowardly and stupid for trying to keep themselves safe while protesting? You don't have what it takes.

We hear a lot about boys getting radicalized online, and not enough about how to stop it. This is good video with 5 specific things parents/adults can do:

HEARTBREAKING:

Pete buttigeg would be a terrible president and so would John Stewart. I hate this discourse.

The thing about Punks, there's always more than one of them. 🤘🏻🖖🏻

Due to urgent need of some form of transportation and general mobility around town etc, I’m going to be cutting this fundraiser short. If you want to support someone like me who is dedicated to showing up for those who need it (proven by my presence at an ICE protest in Spokane). Last chance now!

Broadview, IL - Spoke with several demonstrators after one of the larger volleys of chemical munitions and arrests.

Broadview, IL - I caught up with Kat Abugazeleh, who took some time to speak with me during a dispersal order being called by DHS outside the facility. Abugazeleh is currently running for the the Illinois 9th District.

Talking about "competitive sheriff elections" is interesting, but who is researching whether those competitive elections change outcomes? Here's a fact: party affiliation of the sheriff did not change COVID release rates from jails. It also has no impact on jail deaths.

I have a confession to make. I'm not really sure who will stancil is

Read the whole thing, puts this way more precisely and insightfully than I could

Now, Freire doesn't really talk about this, but the oppressed have to trust that converts actually want out of the situation of oppression in order to extend a hand to converts in solidarity. Insofar as the converts don't trust us, they demonstrate that they are unworthy of our own trust in them.

People who think rsvping to a protest doesn't entail risk should read about the federal conspiracy charges in Spokane where the main evidence is a series of Facebook posts from folks essentially saying we're going to this protest will you come too

Back in my day, many activists wouldn't talk to you unless they saw the battery come out of your phone. Now we are discoursing about rsvping to protests

🚨 NEW: Even as youth incarceration declines, youth of color and youth with disabilities are still overrepresented in custody — and these disparities are getting worse. Learn more: www.prisonpolicy.org/blog/2025/08...

Well they did it. It's completely shameful. Washington state needs to change its laws. There is no reason to try a 14 year old as an adult. There is absolutely no reason to try a 12 year old as one as we do in Washington State in some circumstances

the kimmel thing is bad but as long as they arent rounding people up indiscriminately based on race, building concentration camps and talking about eradicating those they deem sexual deviants, i think we’ll be ok

The federal crackdown following the J11 protest has left Mikki in a very tough spot. Their phone and e-bike were confiscated as evidence, they lost their job, and they were forced to move to Boise even though their entire life is here. Please consider giving them a few bucks.

Oh hey someone actually celebrating murder. Also - "Vance gives remarks on tax policy" is fucking surreal when paired with this

Speaking of the Spanish civil war, if you've never read about Jean Ross this wikipedia article is a great place to start. Jean is the real woman who the character Sally Bowles from Cabaret was based on. I love cabaret, I love the character Sally, Jean Ross was about 1000 times cooler in real life
