This is a photo from 1992 during the Rodney King riots. Shame on CNN for using this photo to score points with the regime!

In fact, I would argue that thinking you should only protest when you’re sure you can win is the most naive position of all.
I've seen a few "anyone who thinks they can stop this bill is naïve" posts this morning, and like... okay? Your point?
I don't fight based on whether or not I think I can win. I fight based on whether or not I think it's right.
Letting them coast into this horror show without a fight is WRONG.

The guy arresting you shouldn’t look like the guy in a ski mask robbing a liquor store. It’s why we’re advancing legislation to put a stop to secret police-style masked law enforcement.

This is a vital message: one of the larger reasons BlueSky is refreshingly free of alt-right shitlords is because in the early days we made a gentleperson’s agreement to starve these fuckos out and it worked. No likes, no quotes, no engagement. They got bored and left. Please keep the Old Ways.

We saw it at Regents Park, and it was stunning. the indoor setting (and Barbican’s terrifically uncomfortable seats) might take away a bit of the magic, but the performances and staging were top tier.

After weeks of prep, we finally have fruit trees in the ground: a Lisbon lemon, a Pixie tangerine, and a “cocktail” with Blenheim apricots, Alberta peaches, Santa Rosa plums, and Fantasia nectarines. It was painful to remove their fruit but I know they need to focus their energy on roots first.

To say legacy media is not built for this moment is a gross understatement. The people destroying this country are being treated with respect.
NPR Morning Edition had Steve Bannon on yesterday, and PBS News Hour has Chris Rufo on right now. What the fuck is wrong with you??? What possible reason is there to platform these lying assholes???
