In 2020, Patrick Braxton became the first Black mayor of a small town in rural Alabama. However, the town's white ex-mayor and council members reappointed themselves without anyone knowing.

He's been locked out of town hall, denied access to town accounts and nearly run off the road, he says
A Black Man Was Elected Mayor in Rural Alabama, but the White Town Leaders Won’t Let Him Serve
For three years, Patrick Braxton says he has experienced harassment and intimidation after becoming the first Black mayor in Newbern, Alabama.

This is just murder. Murder of babies and small children.
Officers working for Gov. Greg Abbott’s border security initiative have been ordered to push small children and nursing babies back into the Rio Grande and not to give water to asylum seekers even in extreme heat, according to an email from a DPS trooper.

No one hates dissent and free speech more than the “punk rock” “Free Speech Warrior” Right
thenation.com The Nation Magazine @thenation.com · Jul 17
Dissent Magazine and its affiliated podcast "Know Your Enemy" joined the long and honorable rank of those subjected to nuisance lawsuits by Young Americans for Freedom—a group that prefigured the Trump-era alliance between mainstream Republicans and the extreme right, writes @jeetheer.bsky.social:
The Campus Right’s Long War on Free Speech
The peevish, pampered crybabies at Young Americans for Freedom love frivolous lawsuits.

A couple Columbus OH pigs were part of a crew who "cleaned up" dealing in a neighborhood. Cleaning up meant putting dealers out of business & taking their place by dealing & trafficking

Reminder that addiction to narcotics is rampant in US police forces.

We’ve been seeing dozens of cops every month ODing on drugs they obviously willingly took. We’ve seen several high profile (and many low profile) cops get busted for large trafficking rings. We’ve seen cops show up to calls high.
ABC7 Five LAPD officers have been taken to the hospital after being exposed to meth. “Readers added context” There are no health risks requiring hospitalization resulting from ‘exposure’ to meth.

Cops in San Francisco attacked a group of children at an annual skate event today using riot gear causing a mass panic.

Completely unprovoked, cops kettled, beat, and fired munitions at the teens. 50-60 were trapped by cops w/o food, water, or medical for hours from the afternoon past midnight.
Crowd of kids fleeing attacking riot cops Cops with absurd amount of zip ties menacing kettled kids late into the night before mass arresting them

On Monday, Philadelphia was attacked by a mass shooter with genocidal Anti-Black motives.

The man, like many before, was motivated by the bloodthirsty Right wing echo chamber.
The assertions by Kimbrady Carriker were made to police in the hours after Carriker was arrested while wearing body armor and a ski mask and carrying an assault rifle and ghost gun on the 1600 block of South Frazier Street, said the sources, who requested anonymity to discuss the ongoing investigation. Carriker first told responding officers who made the arrest that they had done a good job, the sources said. Carriker then told them the gunfire — which spanned several blocks and struck people, including children, who had no apparent connection to one another — was an attempt to help police because “all these guys are out there killing people,” the sources said. Carriker later told detectives that Yahweh, a Hebrew name for God, would be sending more people to help, the sources said. He then declined to provide further information to investigators. Some of Carriker’s roommates, meanwhile, told detectives Carriker had been increasingly agitated recently — routinely wearing a bulletproof vest, carrying a gun, and screaming inside his house. One of the roommates described Carriker as a “biblical extremist” who also believed people should assist police in protecting their neighborhoods, sources said. And a neighbor of one of the people Carriker killed said she saw a video of him screaming battle cries during his rampage. “Hoorah!” Carriker screamed, according to Drew. “It’s time to go to war.” Joseph Wamah Jr. went outside to see what was going on, Drew said his family told her. But he was met by Carriker, who chased him back into his house, and shot him multiple times. Carriker then continued across 56th Street, police said, shooting at random civilians. In May, Carriker shared posts from pro-gun groups supporting former President Donald Trump and the Second Amendment. In June, he shared a mocking video of a speech by President Joe Biden and added his view that Biden was trying to “take our arms.” He posted on the same day, “The only thing more terrifying than blindness is being the only one who can see.”

Reflecting on Pride Month: around here organizing was tighter and communities were better networked to share intel, communicate, provide assistance.

Opposition was much weaker than any time in last 3 1/2 years. Few street preachers, fascists, neo-nazis, and zero proud boy presence.

Gj y’all!

There appears to be confirmation that the Waterloo mass stabbing was an Anti-Queer hate crime. This is what eliminationists who say they want “eliminate” trans and other gender diversity want.

Genocides are often carried out largely by vigilantes, including previous US genocides against BIPOC.
Waterloo Police on the hate-motivated attack carried out by Geovanny Villalba-Aleman: "We believe this was a specific and targeted purpose for him to be there..that was his purpose, to make a statement, to purposely target that subject matter of gender identity and gender expression."
