Annoyed seeing commentary on the Epstein Files like “I guess we’ll have to believe conspiracy theorists from now on” instead of “look at yet another horrific example of the rampant and blatantly obvious male supremacism pervading our society”

THEY ARE BUYING UP WAREHOUSES TO HOLD HUMAN BEINGS IN DETENTION INDEFINITELY.
I feel crazy at how everyone is acting like this is normal. These are concentration camps being built right before our eyes. These buildings are not meant to house human beings. People will be caged like cattle and die.

I get tired of saying it, but I’ll say it again: the nature of oppression in America is that they workshop it first on Black, Latino, Asian & Native people.
But it is always, in the end, coming for everyone.

The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.

This isn’t about convicting Don Lemon. It’s unlikely that will happen. It’s about intimidating journalists & making them censure themselves out of fear of consequences. It’s about eroding the free press because the administration can’t afford the criticism.
This just in: "Don Lemon was taken into custody by federal agents last night in Los Angeles, where he was covering the Grammy awards," Lemon's attorney Abbe Lowell says.

Thinking about a post saying people wouldn’t get killed if they stayed home and didn’t get in ICE’s way, & was reminded of the many many times women are told to stay home and not put themselves in danger to avoid raped. Because fascism is built on male supremacy, and fear is meant to trump freedom.

Started tearing up writing a section about creative nonviolent protest for the upcoming @irms.bsky.social white paper. So that's a solid stopping point for the day, just in time for me to head to one of my chronic health treatments and start the daily decompression for survival.

they can’t imagine that living decades under patriarchy and male supremacist violence was not also preparing us for dealing with cops of all kinds
A big part of the story here is that women like Renee Good are braver and stronger than they could have ever imagined and that just doesn't fit with what MAGA men tell themselves about how gender works. It just does not compute.

I'm not one for false optimism. But what I witnessed today in Minneapolis was tremendous, both in scale and exuberance. It was a stunning answer to the federal assault on Minnesota, a show of solidarity that gives us something to hold on to during times that are unforgiving.
“Everybody Showed Up”: Stunning Crowds at Minnesota Day of Strike and Shutdown Against ICE
Extreme cold didn't stop the shutdown on Friday as some 100 faith leaders were arrested, residents stayed home from work, and an estimated 50,000 or more marched through downtown Minneapolis.
