"You're asking me about something that the president just said... He's never going to implement it... We should talk instead about what he's doing... Every time we get distracted by what he talks about rather than what he does... he destroys and he redistributes to the rich."

I keep thinking about them saying "haven't you learned [from Renee Good's murder]" and... they don't understand why people are still coming out after they've shown they can and will kill us, because they're cowards, and they don't understand what it's like not to be a coward

It strikes me that while the ICE/CBP attacks radicalized this man, his brother provided an example to him if he to respond to that radicalization. Keep talking about this with your normie friends and family.

Remember that elections are held at the state/county level. The county clerk (an elected position) oversees and transmits the tallies. Voter suppression's true levers are things like removing access and intimidation. You can fight back by volunteering as poll workers, supporting voter rights orgs

Non-protesting dad just trying to hustle his kids, as young as 6mo, out of the neighborhood. ICE threw a flash-bang INTO HIS car, all 6 kids in the hospital now. If anyone wondered how things turn against occupying armies there's a case study playing out in front of you.

Hi perhaps you would like a little break from the news in the form of an essay about my trip to Centralia, Pennsylvania, the town that’s been on fire since 1962—a place where surprisingly I found a great deal of hope, wonder, and mystery.

I think, every so often, about how the student protesters in South Korea figured out there was a finite supply of tear gas, and then staged retreating marches that caused police to burn off most of it, before the big "bring your auntie and kids" marches that ultimately toppled the dictatorship.

Do your best work offline and do not expect to be thanked. Do it because it's the right thing to do, not because you want people to like you. We all go into the dirt alone. No one else will be there when your guardian angel starts listing off your good deeds. Learn to be emotionally self-sufficient.

A Republican elected official proudly declaring he has no problem with agents of the state shooting unarmed citizens in the face if they annoy the regime. It is impossible to make democracy work with a party that not only tolerates people like this, but elevates them to positions of influence.
