No more, no more.

Remembering today that having your heart broken is a necessary step on the path to becoming fully human. Whichever heartbreak is your first, it’s probably critical that a state break your heart so that you can develop a political imagination. If this is your first, I’m sorry and also welcome.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but cops are not allowed to shoot people just because you didn't do what they said.

That is called murder when they do that.

Some cops are working hard to convince people otherwise.

We have been posting about what they have done to us in ICE cells. No one boosts it, no journalist cover it, no one cares.

Every second the murderer is not arrested is another second for feds to hide him in a place that would create a jurisdictional fight. He's on video killing a person. You have to arrest this guy an hour ago, but you might still have time now.

they’ve got to arrest and prosecute this guy

there isn’t another option here

if the feds won’t let them then force that confrontation and don’t back down

this guy murdered someone in cold blood on video in the middle of the street, you have to bring him to justice

The paper that buried the leak about the Venezuela mission vs the publication that didn’t.

WaPo frames this with picture of a woman celebrating and the language about joy through the lens of this story on *American* reactions vs the AP who tells from the perspective of the people actually impacted.

This is one of the starkest demonstrations of propaganda in action that I have ever seen

so here're a few articles that I found useful re: Venezuela... Delcy, who's de facto in power, is publicly saying the US isn't in control and Maduro is still the president. paramilitary colectivos control the streets, there's a lot of uncertainty, etc. /1

In the past week, the Trump-Vance admin:
–Bombed Nigeria
–Bombed Venezuela, abducted its leader
–Bombed more ships in the middle of the ocean
–Threatened military action in Iran, Colombia, and Cuba
–Accepted the “Israel Prize” & hosted Netanyahu in Mar-a-Lago (despite his soldiers killing Americans)

Another post from a Venezuelan friend:

This video, viewed millions of times on TikTok, Facebook and X, claims to show Venezuelans taking to the street to thank the US for detaining Maduro.

But the video is a combination of four AI-generated clips and was first posted on TikTok by a user who frequently shares AI videos. It's not real.

People get mad at the democrats for the same reason people got mad at the Uvalde cops

I was educated by Quakers. There's something clarifying about learning the value of raising your voice against monstrous acts of inhumanity from a tradition that holds silence sacred — sometimes the act of saying no, not in my name has worth independent of whether anyone in power listens.

there are endless headlines about "grok apologizes" or "grok says it will be fixed" after it generated CSAM using pictures of minors and zero headlines about "grok being shut down" or "musk and xAI in big legal trouble" and I think something fundamental has broken here

it's going great

it's genuinely fascinating to me that "you cannot facilitate a genocide against a people and still expect their vote" is too advanced for some analysts to understand.

It's really difficult for me to reconcile labeling someone as "pro-democracy" with that same person (MTG) attempting to imprison doctors and the parents of trans kids for providing life saving medical care.

There's a difference between "let them fight" and "this is my new ally"
