Still appalled at how paltry and terrible the NYT coverage of the protests were and how nobody there feels any responsibility to address the criticism. This was not something that caught them off guard. This was many levels of decisions.

This is a fun example of what often happens when a cryptographic system can't be broken analytically. You steal what you need--either the plaintext or info that allows or helps you to read the encrypted material. In this case, it wasn't stealing, though. Just straight up archival research. Love it.

#NoKings, Madison WI

I saw a tragically AI-generated version of this poster, so I have recreated a 100% human-made version for all your protest sign needs.

Republicans are allowing swastikas to be hung in their offices, meanwhile establishment Dems will yearn for your demise if you call yourself a socialist or a communist

Take note of all these people turning out for protests in small towns in red states. Remember them the next time you’re inclined to write an area off because “they voted for this.”

#Portland PSA: Far-right/Right-Leaning agitators and/or content creators are out at these protests. They will instigate in order to get footage to fit their narratives, despite these protests being 99% peaceful. Do not give them content. Do not take the bait. #Immigration #Protests #ICE

Please be conscious if you protest this weekend that there are feds at the protest. They look like you and they sound like you, not like Steve Buscemi in that one clip with the skateboard. Thinking you can spot them is self delusion. Nobody you haven’t met needs to know your last name.

Did you or a friend or a family member get attacked by Trump’s brown shirts this weekend? I’d like to hear about it and maybe do something about it. My email is jchavez [at] ojrc [dot] info. Please put “Seeking Legal Advice re: ICE Building” in subject line. All inquiries are confidential.

They're teargassing people on the streets and shooting them, Chuck.

The testimony submitted to the Oregon v Trump case includes a September 21 email by Portland Police Bureau Sergeant Andrew Braun describing the behavior of three right-wing "counterprotestors": Rhein Amacher, Chelly Bouferrache, and Katie Daviscourt.

rather than having protests and creating more right-wing content (the entire point of the troop deployment), Portland would be far better off holding a citywide strike.

I agree with this, which is why I think Dems need to start laying the groundwork for it by talking about SCOTUS in explicitly partisan terms. They aren’t “conservative justices,” they’re Republican or MAGA justices.

things kind of stink now but you basically dont have to hear that pearl jam song "jeremy" anymore ever unless you actively want to hear it. it used to be you would be hear eddie vedder hooting like five or six times a day and you were powerless to stop it

One of the key ways you refuse to comply with fascism is by becoming even louder and more fearless in supporting vulnerable people. You SHOW that you are unwilling to throw the "undesirables" under the bus if only for self-preservation because under fascism you will also become undesirable one day.

generally speaking, and with the glaring exception of november 2024, the more directly democratic an institution has been, the better it has checked Trump (eg grand and petit juries); the more elite and insular, the less effective (the Senate, the Supreme Court, big business)

If you're writing about how Stephen Miller's going to use this as a pretext for going after the left I think it's incumbent on you to say how he plans on doing that. Otherwise it's just scaring people into submission before he's done anything.

EDITOR: hey, did you write that description of J. Wellington Wimpy like I asked? WERNER HERZOG: *mournfully* yes

“The Trump administration is ordering the removal of information on slavery at multiple national parks in an effort to scrub them of ‘corrosive ideology.’”

The thing to understand about the language policing of the MAGA folks declaring angrily that (accurately) calling Trump a fascist is incitement is that this standard only goes one way. Their violent rhetoric is 'legitimate,' after all, because they don't view you as fully human anyway.

i dont think multiple democratic governors should have lowered flags to half mast for a racist who said gay people should be stoned. i dont think a democratic governor should have called for continuing "the work" of a man who said mlk was a myth and evil. is that too much to ask? ffs.

Right winger gets murdered: he was the kindest, gentlest boy who ever lived Right winger ends up being the murderer: he was also the kindest, gentlest boy who ever lived

my favorite line has been “i don’t condone what happened to charlie kirk, but charlie kirk condoned what happened to charlie kirk.”

As grim as this story may be, there's still much to be inspired by. Look no further than this attorney for the children, who rushed to the airport to stop the planes. She stood near the tarmac, warning any officials she saw that they’d be complicit in violating a court order if the planes took off.

the thing about trans rights is that we fight the civil rights issues of our time. nazi chuds have made this the issue of our time. it's not more *important* than other civil rights issues, but it is the battleground of the moment, and we have to meet the moment to support everyone's rights.

Not coincidentally, the Panthers were also one of the few major left organizations in the homophobia-laden '60s/'70s to openly support the Stonewall riots and the ensuing queer liberation movements.

In Portland, Oregon, ICE agents apparently blocked traffic in order to take down a protest sign which read: "ICE GOON HQ HERE"

A.I. is popular because it gives you the experience of being a boss: you get to give annoyingly specific instructions about how to do something you don't actually know how to do yourself, and then claim credit for the end result.

they don’t have anywhere near enough bodies to do what they want to do

I didn’t know until now that in the original Rosie the Riveter painting, she is crushing a copy of Mein Kampf under her foot. Happy feast of the Blessed Virgin Mary, remembering all the women who crush the serpents of Satan under their heel.
