It's fun that yesterday the top two discourses were about what level of opsec is necessary for protesters and how every celebrity and official sent emails to the most famous sex criminal in the world from their work emails saying things like "hey hwen is the next sex crime I defanetly want in ;)"

The whole fucking point is to accept personal risk as yourself and dare the state to do anything about it.
You are there to be seen, known, and heard. Not to cosplay as an antifa super soldier.

If you've given biometrics to TSA (Pre-Check and Global Entry members) and you plan to attend a protest, you should wear a medical mask.

insisting on calling every mass day of protest or one-day boycott a "general strike" is not the move. it's good to see people rallying around the cause, it matters, but if you want to be part of a large-scale labor action that shuts down the gears of capital, start by unionizing your workplace!!!

Went by an anti-ICE protest (like the third local one in the last week?) and they've got Andor quotes on the signs. We love to see it.

I wrote about Senate Dems’ proposed “reforms,” which range from superficial to likely unenforceable to actively harmful; the grip billionaire-backed anti-“abolish” Groups have over Washington and the conspicuous absence of any attempt to touch DHS’s obscene budget.
Senate Democrats’ DHS "Reforms" Shaping Up To Be Another Kneeling Kente Cloth Moment
“Body cams,” vague demands of “accountability,” but no attempt to cut DHS's obscene budget is a recipe for status quo maintenance.

I hope all of y'all who pointed out that none of the former Democratic presidents were saying anything last week are happy with what your monkey paw wish has wrought
Here’s a podcast that does a good job of laying out what’s at stake, and why all of us need to get off the sidelines to demand change.

This is so funny man, you had tens of thousands of people and hundreds of businesses participating in the strike last week. Are they all going on your list? Your excel sheet is gonna crash!

I remember learning about Niall Ferguson because one of his books was on sale on libro.fm and I looked him up and found out he was a British empire apologist? Apparently they still make those? In hindsight I guess I should have been clued in by a title like "The West and the Rest."

Man I'd be so proud if any of the seat-of-our-pants ad hoc mutual aid work I've been involved in was called professional grade lol
I mostly just stay off Twitter altogether but after double checking that the Walter Hudson post was still up I ran across this and just had to share so the Romancelandians who bought hand warmers could hear about the PROFESSIONAL GRADE LOGISTICS.

Okay I know Walz has been rolling over and playing dead through most of this but even he won't go for this right
Pam Bondi's conditions for Minnesota: 1) give us all your state data on your food programs, including SNAP 2) repeal all your sanctuary policies in the state (since it has led to "so much crime and violence") and 3) hand over your state voting rolls. Letter here: www.fox9.com/news/minneap...

I hate these @altnps.bsky.social grifters so much. Remember when they were posting random numbers that were supposedly secret codes or some shit? Pure QAnon stuff.
Completely insane. AltNPS claimed to know the name of Alex Pretti's killer, refused to say it because "the truth always comes out," and then just deleted the post.
A man was executed on the street in my hometown, and AltNPS is using that as an excuse to vaguepost for attention.

It can be a hard pill to swallow but you have to accept that while you will prevail in this struggle, you may not be there to witness it.

People already working hard to prove how perfect Alex Pretti was. To show he didn't "deserve" to be killed. But it's a trap folks. You're only feeding into a dynamic where people who are considered lesser get no protection. You don't have to be an Alex Pretti to deserve to live.

If only they had more training I'm sure they would have known not to execute a person in the street, again.
