Think about this from the perspective of the musicians who create the music & who the monopoly power of the major labels renders relatively powerless. You will be furious.

I suppose I have my evening reading.

Keep telling folks ICE / CBP absolutely are having the time of their lives shooting, gassing, beating, arresting, and kidnapping people. Here’s a bit in their own words.

When we @50501 call this admin or their actions fascist, we’re not throwing the term around to provoke a reaction from our audience; we’re identifying its placement in the ideological tradition of fascism. They openly quote Schmitt & fear the Decline of the West - the same playbook, every time

There are a lot of rumors of ICE escalation in the Atlanta area this week. While we can’t verify any, we know folks are scared and it’s ALWAYS a good idea to be prepared! GLAHR is one of Georgia’s strongest immigrant advocacy organizations. Take a minute to put their hotline number in your phone.

I want people to displace the imaginary depictions of *revolutions* that they have come to create in their heads with the actual small revolutionary acts that happen daily. We might get closer to revolution that way.

I love games like Hollow Knight and Silksong cuz I am a sucker for those pockets of quiet, almost blissful dread in video games where there’s no enemies, no boss in the room—just melancholy music, green-apocalypse backdrops, & space to really feel how small you are in a vast, dead, beautiful world.

I made holiday cards! ❄️🎄❤️ [ #cuteart #artshop #merch ]

I can't believe that people keep memoryholing that; the NYPD is known for *publicly* threatening to murder a mayor's family members if they ever dare displease them, this is not a "Ugh, these squishy liberal politicians, immediately backing down before the police. x.x" -situation.

it is not Perfect, but it is Good, i think, simply in terms of reducing suffering

The cops run municipal government and by and large the public is fine with this. THAT is the root problem.

You can love someone you love even if you don't love yourself🏳️‍⚧️ But if you love yourself, you can love both yourself and the person you love. Your love becomes twofold. So take care of yourself. Your soul is beautiful.

Federal law enforcement officers and prosecutors effectively have absolute immunity from civil liability, even when they commit clear crimes.

Im gonna save y'all from giving Starbucks any money because fuck'em. Ingredients: 4 oz semi-sweet chocolates (113g) 2.5 Tbs granulated sugar (32g) 1 Tbs unsweetened cocoa powder (7.5 g) pinch salt 1 1/2 cups milk (360g) 1/2 tsp peppermint extract 1 – 2 cups Ice cubes (130-260g) Whipped Cream

It's not just Fed law that protects cops. It's THE LAW and also USians on the whole. Juries consistently let cops off [if the cases even make it to trial in the first place].

I wrote about the exhaustion and dissonance of writing about TDOR for the past 15 years

even getting the police to carry insurance is a battle!

Every couple of years, new USians are re-educated about how difficult prosecuting cops [at any level of government] is. Yet, I am subjected hourly to "THEY MUST BE CHARGED AND PROSECUTED" and it takes everything in me not to reach across the screen to punch folks in the neck, lol.

This week, I withdrew from a speaking engagement at a public university because they sent me a list of prohibited “words & concepts.” I will not humor this censorship. It does a disservice to the stories I’m discussing & the audience, who deserve unfettered access to information & conversation.

I see a lot of fan fic from liberals about how cops are going to wear cute little uniforms and stop being racist and behave themselves, and that will never happen if you don't drastically reduce their political power.

Not a criticism of Mamdani in particular, but as long as we allow massively funded, heavily armed right-wing paramilitaries to have veto power over every aspect of public policy, it will be impossible to enact even the most basic social democratic reforms that a lot of liberals say they want.

i had a suspicion that states rights would regain some salience if and when the states where rights came into question were states republicans cared about

Will @govpritzker.illinois.gov allow government agents to attempt to murder Latinas in the streets on camera, brag about it to their friends, destroy evidence, and lie about it? www.reuters.com/world/us/bor...

Over 1,000 people in Charlotte signed up for training on how to protect the city’s Latino community from immigration agents as arrests continue. NBC News’ Julia Ainsley reports.

annoying little reminder that assaulting people then accusing them of instigating violence isn't just an ICE usurpation novelty, it's Cop 101
