Once you understand that you're dealing with murderous liars, you stop entertaining what they say as possibly credible and legitimate. The fight against them is about stopping them from terrorizing and killing by any means, not winning debates about your reality versus theirs.

I'm reminded of Ruth Wilson Gilmore's words: "where life is precious, life is precious." I have long believed that there is a bond between people who know what it means to fight for a place — any place — where they have lived their values and cherished life in a way that the larger society does not.

it simply cannot go on like this. and it cannot be the case that going on like this is a regular feature of electoral cycles either. something has to be done about the violent white nationalist movement.

It’s easy to think that schools in Minneapolis are closed because the Feds murdered someone in the street but no, the actual reason is that while that was happening, the Feds were busy doing other heinous shit across the city like tear-gassing a school
“The move came after officials at Roosevelt High School said armed U.S. Border Patrol officers came on school property during dismissal Wednesday and began tackling people, handcuffed two staff members and released chemical weapons on bystanders.” — www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...
Minneapolis schools cancel classes after Border Patrol clash disrupts dismissal at Roosevelt
Minneapolis schools closed for the week citing safety concerns after an encounter involving armed Border Patrol agents near Roosevelt High School.

The shooting is shocking enough but the government's response is off the charts when you consider that this incident is forensically documented on video.

I hate that given where we are now, we don't know if Trump is lying, is mentally ill, or is accurately describing an AI video shown to him by someone in the administration covering their tracks.

in these moments, in my view, it is a political and spiritual DUTY for my outrage and anger to be as fresh as if I'd never heard how they shot Fred Hampton in his bed. As fresh as if I didn't know Bobby Hutton was surrendering when they shot him. 1/2

The largest city in the state Amy Klobuchar represents is currently under federal occupation. And they've started shooting.
The White House is laser focused on threatening a military takeover of Greenland.
Where’s the same focus on lowering costs?

It's very clear from the commentary exploding on the timeline right now that hardly anyone outside Chicago knows ICE shot and killed a man in his car here in the fall.
It's probably not your fault—too much news.
But if you're choosing to jump in & *report* today, please contextualize. Thanks.

RFK Jr. is dangerous no matter what.
If he believes his own lies that vaccines harm and kill children, but they’re still available in the U.S., he’s killing innocent people.
If he doesn’t really believe this and yet he continues to undermine vaccines, he’s also killing innocent people.

as someone who wrote a whole book about sexual abuse, I'd say it's the opposite
society clearly cares very much about the right of the powerful (in whatever capacity) to sexually abuse whomever they want to
or we wouldn't let them keep getting away with it

maybe I'm just jaded from spending my entire adult life watching sexual abuse committed with impunity, but i dont think X will suffer any consequences.
society likes to pretend it cares about sexual violence, but actually doesn't.

X basically industrialized the creation of fake porn of women who don't consent. Others did it first, but Grok made it normalized and centralized: publicly visible, instantly creatable by anyone, regardless of who's being targeted and dehumanized. Only question now is will X suffer any consequences
