I’m fine with discussions about how to be less judgmental, but not from people who think that means trans people don’t get rights.

I think all of the following things:
1) that some degree of violent conflict is inevitable because thousands of ICE combatants will not peacefully submit to judgment for their crimes;
2) that we should try to minimize violence as much as possible, because it will be horrible; and

We’ve reached the point in this crisis where comrades from out of state are shipping us packages of thousands of whistles to distribute.
Know that when we win here- we’ll return that favor for the next city. Just as Chicago has taught us.

Short thread. I love this.
Someone over on YT asked why I didn't 3D print the sword (a valid question from a regular over there)
I use my 3D printer exclusively for head sculpts. But for bits like this, ALL of the dopamine is in solving the problem of "how do I make this with items that aren't supposed to be a mini sword?"

Here’s a closer look at the miniature sword that I scratch-built for this custom Zorro figure.

The fact that a second strike like that in an armed conflict is definitely a war crime should not completely negate the fact that *there is no war* and ALL the strikes are cold-blooded murder. The whole chain of command are murderers.

I realize everyone knows this, but you'll note that what he saw was two survivors trying to flip a boat over.
Which is a thing literally fucking anyone in a shipwreck would do.
The other stuff he said was fanfic he made up about them.

Q: What did you see in the second strike?
Cotton: "I saw two survivors trying to flip a boat -- loaded with drugs, bound for the United States -- back over, so they could stay in the fight."

I keep thinking about LSAC data saying students with accommodations get higher scores.
The most obvious possibility to me is not "some students unfairly get accommodations"; it is, "people with wealth are more likely to get accommodations."
