Don't just read the headline. This essay is my lengthy ode to the hard-fought, hard-won successes of the communitarian movement in the Twin Cities, which has been the scourge of fascists and put the most cracks in Trump's fascist front.
Nonviolence has achieved much, and will do more still.

Confrontational but nonviolent protest is more effective than the solipsistic comfort of an assault rifle.

Dems were in power 12 of the past 25 years with the chance to at least *attempt* to reduce the power of the police state and instead gleefully and massively expanded it at every single opportunity.
They didn't even pretend to oppose any of this shit on principle, only the aesthetics.

WOW. @haleaziz.bsky.social with a new scoop: ICE now gets a running list of every person who is going to be taking a domestic flight inside the United States from the TSA and runs it through their database looking for targets. This explains the Babson College student's arrest.

Twice in the past two weeks, subs asked me how I felt about aftercare because they don't receive it often but they like it when they do.
Y'all, *please* make your partners agree to aftercare beforehand and hold them to that. You deserve partners that respect you and your needs. 🫂💜

The thing about this political moment is that my most and least Theory Brain friends are saying Exactly the same thing: Push Now. Hit them while they're down and keep hitting them and keep hitting them until we fucking Win. Accept nothing less than total victory.
Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

My hottest Magic take is that if you don't know what 2^x means and can't infer it from this card, then you do not deserve to play Magic the Gathering. This game was invented for math nerds, not Funko pop nerds

his job is to not oppose the republicans, & to occupy the space that someone who might oppose the republicans could use to do that. when he is forced to do something, it is his job to water it down as much as possible. he is not failing, he's doing his job perfectly

saw someone call schumer cowardly and chide him for lacking the backbone to call for ICE to be abolished, & it must once again be pointed out that that is untrue. he is not trying to oppose the republicans and failing, he is on the same team as the republicans, and his enemy is you

I don’t think we should make concessions to the Masked Murderers Guild of America. I don’t think we should compromise so the Masked Murderers Guild of America stops using kidnapped kids from schools as bait. I thought this was already illegal. The Masked Murderers Guild of America should not exist.

It's impossible to express how it feels to repeatedly live through the exact same cycles over and over and over again. The reformers just consistently fucking everyone over.

David French argued Renee Good's murder is an example of the US having two sytems of law: orderly for friends & belligerent for foes. @victorerikray.bsky.social corrects him: US law has always promised fascism for non-whites & those who stand with them.

America's "dual state" is a racial state
