Some notes: Yes, that’s a typo on the month. Date is correct on page 1 and other docs. Also, the scripture: Matthew 19:14 ~ Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.” John 11:35 ~ Jesus wept.

Federal judge has ordered the release of Liam Ramos (the bunny hat boy) and his father. A brief and rather remarkable order. Clearly written to be shared widely, so please do. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

I would answer (and complained at the time) that Woke 1.0 focused far too much on largely symbolic harms and not enough on primarily material harms, and it was precisely this dynamic that simultaneously led to both sometimes genuinely unfair stridency and impotence. Thus, too far and not far enough.

One of Woke 1.0s major issues was academic discussion and intellectual tangents breaking containment into the larger world and then being misunderstood by both those promoting it and those who rejected it. Other issue was stating one’s identity to support a stance rather than making an argument.

The answer is to exercise before watching the movie to get all the wiggles out

Elon...They scrubbed Trump from the files but not you. They're setting you up to take the fall! You gave them $300M and this is how they thank you. Next they're coming for your subsidiesss and contractsss

mummy time

minor quibble here, but he didn’t prevent the feds from arresting her, he discouraged them from illegally detaining her in a facility. she had already been arrested and was being transported.

it’s not necessarily that all these people in the epstein files participated in the raping of girls it’s that none of them cared and if he hadn’t been arrested and died they’d still be out there trying to be his friend

This is just insane. It’s only a matter of time before DHS kills another innocent person here. (clip via MPR and @davidjbier.bsky.social on X)

So apparently I was right to shittalk m00t this week because it's been revealed that his boneheaded decision to establish /pol/ and subsequently ruin the website was allegedly born out of a one-on-one meeting with Jeffery Epstein.

congragulations

The march in Chicago has continued on past Trump Tower and is turning back south into downtown. The snow is coming down hard now. As it does, the column chants, "say it once and say it twice, we do not fuck with ICE"

It's near-white out conditions in Chicago as the snow comes down, and tonight's anti-ICE/CBP rally is wrapping up in front of city hall. But not before the crowd bounces and chants, "I believe that we will win!"

Many of the “online left” are not actually leftists. They don’t really care about establishing socialism or communism or really anything that could be hypothesized to improve someone’s life. They confuse apathy for insight, cliques for organizing, and condescension for morality. All are depressed.

You can’t tell if this was made by a Nazi or a “leftist”. Either way this person hates women.

CNN in Minneapolis: We are seeing thousands and thousands of people, we've been standing on the corner here for the past ten minutes. This this crowd has not let up. It's just continuous.

The ICE agents have cameras. Some wear body cameras, many carry their phones to make propaganda. If you’re going out to do RR or protest ICE, you’re ending up in 4k either way. The only defense is numbers and getting out your own message ahead of their propaganda.

At least 40% of modern conservatism is just weird fetishes

We still live in a free-ish country. The answer to "we'll persecute you" if you are a citizen without particular vulnerabilities is "fuck you, try it bitch"

Have you given to a political campaign? Your name is in a government database.

If you are planning to be involved in political action of any type, they have your name. The thing to do is make their lists useless by having so many names on them.

“What if someone adds a bad actor in disguise to the Signal chat” is a *social* problem that *literally cannot be solved by any messaging app*.

cooking up a new Legal Doctrine, to wit: a sufficiently dishonest Supreme Court decision can be actual treason

I think we need to impeach SCOTUS judges and it’s actually my top priority.

the fact that this bullshit has even reached the supreme court is completely disqualifying to the entire field of law

Masked up DEA agent knowingly participating in an illegal arrest of a journalist that was already rejected by two trial judges and an appellate court. The de-Nazification after this period must be thorough. Seems likely we will need to fire the majority of federal law enforcement officers.

You're gonna disagree with some moots about all the shit going on. Some people cope with the stress through optimism and some wish Chuck Schumer to be flung into the Potomac. Try not to be too dickish to people you largely agree with and focus your anger on America's real villain, Michael Rapaport

This is not Tsarist Russia. Stop being fucking stupid. Your favorite revolutionaries would have killed for a ride-along with The Atlantic And I don't care how stupid that sounds, because it's just fucking true, shut the fuck up all of you, preemptively

just to be clear: the internet has been invented. there is no such thing as a "secure and safe media buildout". your message goes everywhere or it is dead in the water.

You could do not ask for a more damming inducement of a certain subculture than this person who lives in *Michigan* scolding Stancil, who is actually in MN, for asking people to not LARP like they’re fucking antifa Jason Bourne and actually talk to media.

When a Convoluted Event Occurs, like these spending bills, the best you can do is: 1. read about it from a credible media source 2. form your own opinion 3. check it against someone brilliant and reliably correct There are like... ten people on Bluesky who meet criteria 3. Choose wisely.

The reform I want is the "no, you can't just ship alleged undocumented immigrants out the country without a real Article 3 judge adjudicating their case" reform. The existence of a rubber stamp fake court system for something so consequential is abhorrent.

One of the hardest things to explain to people who aren’t here is the very real feeling that we are in a war against the federal government. Not only are we occupied by unaccountable armed, masked paramilitaries, but we are constantly aware our neighbors might be abducted in the blink of an eye.

Everyone I follow was fighting each other yesterday. Literally everyone.

Radley is so on the mark zeroing in on this: the creation of new "privacy" rights for federal police. The right to be anonymous to the public. The right not to have anyone know why they shot someone and tried to hide the evidence. "right to privacy" fascism addition.

Use separate cars for rapid response and mutual aid. That one really is important Don’t use your full legal name as your Signal display name. Assume your Signal chats are public & don’t talk about crimes or share sensitive info you wouldn’t want screenshotted by a reporter or read out loud in court

Fellas, is it gender-critical to fuck a couch?

Practicing being cool and calm. Look how much I’m not screaming

i’d go further than this and say that people who have shared values can legitimately disagree on tactics or interpretations or actions based on those values, a thing that is entirely normal IRL relationships and completely absent in online associations

using federal resources to illegally seize the goods of another country and then diverting the proceeds to accounts only the president can control is the kind of thing the framers would’ve seen these men hanged for

now is the time for believing in things and courageously standing up for those things you believe in. do not care about how you think things should be worded or how not to overplay whatever hand. we're past that

there are people going out in the freezing cold and literally putting their lives on the line in defense of their communities and the multicultural secular society they believe in. not interested in what some online wannabe dnc consultant type wants to tell me what is and isn't possible now

They’re not death squads, they’re just the squads that occasionally kill people and torture to the point of natural death before handing prisoners off to the actual death squads in another country. I’m extremely smart and live in the beltway, btw.

PRACTICE ABSTINENCE-ONLY SAFE ORGANIZING - DON'T TEXT ANYONE - DON'T USE SIGNAL TO TEXT ANYONE - DON'T TALK TO ANYONE VIA PHONE - DON'T TALK TO ANYONE - DON'T ORGANIZE - DON'T PROTEST - DON'T EXPRESS VIEWS THAT MIGHT UPSET NAZIS FOR ANY REASON

Just so we’re clear, stonekettle and anyone else telling you not to use electronics to organize is a wrecker. It would be impossible to pull off what the good people of Minneapolis have done without Signal. Anyone telling you not to use electronics wants you to *fail*.
