"Standing for something really feels like it could work anywhere to redraw the boundaries, to move the positive and negative space into some new configuration less aligned to terrible lies, more aligned to great truths."
Today I wrote about Zohran Mamdani's historic win, the energizing power of holding to shared principles of decency, and a taxonomy of the endlessly intertwined relationship between shame and vision. www.the-reframe.com/the-extraord...
The Extraordinary Power of Standing For Something
Winning by creating vision in the positive space of shared standards, and expertly negotiating the negative space of shame.

Assaulting residents are what the January 6th insurrectionists, now renamed ICE are good at. These loser thugs need to get the f*ck out of once peaceful Chicago. We've had enough of masked squads of sadistic as* holes in our city.

Devastating!
And now, if you read the devastating piece about what Venezuelan deportees endured at the El Salvador torture prison, read what incarcerated U.S. citizens endure in Alabama prisons.
State prisons in the U.S. that are massive systems of human rights violations.

Newsom: Anyone checked out my Patriot store? We do have some knee pads. It’s a signature series. They’re sold out at the moment. The universities, and all these law firms, and certain media organizations—I figured they can use these.

Pause at least daily
Pause for a moment to think about more of your tax dollars being used to fund ICE, the "Department of War", and DHS, and less being used to fund healthcare and food aid.
They are using your money to fund their cruelty.

Excessive force. PERIOD!
They called them “violent mobs,” but the violence came from the guys with badges and body armor.
📌 Keep sharing videos, everyone, because they’re evidence.

Walmart, McDonalds and Amazon are the largest employers of people who require SNAP assistance.
The CEOs earned between 18-40 million last year, 1000x their median employee income.
They took billions in profits, while their workers relied on SNAP to survive.
Wanna fix fraud and abuse?
Fix that.

Dear Governor Pritzker,
Why are these lawless thugs allowed to assault peaceful protesters, and use excess force? They're not held accountable. I'm a Chicagoan and like the rest of the country watching in horror. Can't you use your authority and please do something.
