Worth putting it on the record here, though you probably already know it: “Alligator Alcatraz” is a concentration camp.
Hmm, let’s see… mass detention of civilians without trial or traditional legal protections on the basis of identity (race, religion, ethnicity, political affiliation) rather than any criminal act, often for an indefinite period and done principally to expand political power. Check.

The Supreme Court's Dobbs decision didn't just affect abortion – it's now endangering access to contraception. Some lawmakers are pushing to restrict birth control methods by classifying them as abortifacients.

The law is powerless against stochastic political violence
The misuse of media power to promote harm needs a cultural, not a legal, solution

Find allies—find community, link up, like, or lurk
Fight with purpose—even small acts of defiance matter
Take a breather—doomscrolling feeds the fear they want

I like the Fred Hampton method. Organize mutual aid, community support, grassroots social programs. Rent parties, legal defense funds, help organize farmers markets and flea markets, neighborhood watches, childcare groups. And every step of the way: "This is socialism. This is what we do."

Some U.S. media (such as the Washington Post here) trace U.S.-Iranian animosity back to the 1979 Islamic Revolution, conveniently forgetting that the CIA helped overthrow a democratically elected Iranian government in 1953, forcing Iranians to endure decades of the Shah’s brutal rule.

It strikes me that if we had swarms of masked men with weapons of war roaming Wall Street chasing down tax cheats and white collar criminals, many Americans would respond differently than they are to swarms of masked men with weapons of war roaming the streets of LA chasing down brown people.

just saw a group of masked men stuffing masked ICE agents into an unmarked car, who were saying "we're ICE we're ICE!" but the abductors shouted to the crowd "no we're ICE!" no one knew who was ICE, so no one in the crowd said anything.

Mr. Antiwar President has us inches away from a Civil War at home and a nuclear war abroad in defense of an ally that is starting random hot regional wars to detract from its ongoing genocide. I’m sure all of this will just naturally cool off.

Trump's politics have always had one organizing principle: They ruined America, and we have to take it back. The “theys” are immigrants, trans people, journalists, Democrats, civil servants, and so on.
