"Political violence" is a term that exists to suggest a moral distinction between "violence against politicians" and "violence by politicians" - so that one can be condemned while the other can be normalized. Obviously, no such distinction exists in reality: violence is violence.

Very much time to stop using WeTransfer, with their updated terms that clearly state they have the right to use anything you transfer across their service, to train AI, create derivative works, basically steal and use anything you post through them. This is now laid out in section 6.3, posted below:

An amazing video from a Black man who gets it. Here, he explains how the word "illegal" is based on a lie. A lie that the United States of America (and much of every other western country) tells. A lie built on capitalism, white supremacy, genocide, imperialism, slavery, and land theft.
Watch it.

SCOOP — ICE employees received an email yesterday telling them the agency's warrantless arrest policy had been rescinded. It's likely part of the Trump administration's efforts to further loosen enforcement restrictions to meet the new quota of 3,000 immigration arrests per day.

A contact sent me this from the back of a forest service map they got on a recent visit. The only maps available had language that does not comply with the anti-inclusion policies of Trump's administration. It's quite something to see the erasure - and what is being erased - laid so bare.

The secretary of transportation literally goes on tv every day to talk about how pants-pissing terrified he is of public transportation
Duffy: "If you're liberal, they want you to take public transportation ... the problem is that it's dirty. You have criminals. It's homeless shelters. It's insane asylums. It's a work ground for the criminal element of the city to prey upon the good people."

In 2000s, NYC cops would use yellow cabs and other vehicles for surveillance. I spotted them a couple of times sneaky pete-ing in UPS trucks near protests.
