I'd say it's hard to walk back the optics of shooting a suburban mom in the face, lobbing a concussion grenade at a toddler, and sending a bunch of paramilitary goons door to door asking for papers.

Harold Russell sold his Oscar in the late 1980s, but whoever bought it didn't have the 1947 Best Supporting Actor award magical conveyed upon them for doing so.

another benefit of using signal before you need it is though messages are encrypted they can still tell when someone started using it or if they're using it. having normalized usage before many people in a region join at the same time in theory makes harder to infer usage is part of a recent pattern
A thing that you can do right now to support your community is to download and install the SIGNAL messaging app and learn how to use it *before* ICE/CBP attacks your city.

Pretty sure all of us had more thorough background checks when we applied for our jobs than everyone working for ICE. Also, the men working for ICE are textbook examples of why women choose the bear.

The increasingly common habit of screenshotting the AI summary of a Google search and presenting it as evidence must be nipped in the bud immediately. That is nothing. That is not anything, it is not a thing.

My "What You Need To Know About Tear Gas" thread:
First, tear gas is a particulate, not an actual vapor or gas. In some cases, this means you can get some of the tear gas off your clothes by standing in a stiff breeze or strong fan.

Chris Murphy: "The amount of training that's given to an ICE officer has been cut in half by this administration. The number of days of training they get are 47. You know why they get 47 days? As an homage to the vanity of POTUS. No wonder the number of violent incidents are going through the roof."

TCM “franchises,” such as Noir Alley, Musical Matinees, Silent Sunday Nights, and TCM imports, were designed to be one-a-week “destination” shows. It’s meant to foster community, as opposed to the “I’ll watch whatever whenever I want” mentality. Plus, they’d have to pay me more.
@eddiemuller.bsky.social Good morning and I hope all is well with you and yours this beautiful Sunday morning. Why do you only get one time slot for your film noir? I do know that you show at midnight and 10am the following morning. But why only one movie a week? This morning they have 4 worth watch

The murders will continue until the murder accusations decrease.
If calling a state secret police agent a murderer for committing murder will lead to more murder by the state secret police, it sure seems like the problem is with the secret police
Homan: "We gotta stop the hateful rhetoric. Saying this officer is a murderer is dangerous. It's just ridiculous. It's gonna infuriate people more which means there's gonna be more incidents like this."
