Secret police tend to meet 5 criteria:

-target political opponents & dissidents
-the identity of members / operations are secret
-surveillance operations
-arbitrary searches, arrests, interrogations, detentions, disappearances & torture.

Lately I've seen many references to the 3.5% rule. A few years ago I pulled together this Q&A on potential uses and misuses of this statistic. www.hks.harvard.edu/sites/defaul...

My team and I at the Crowd Counting Consortium (@djpressman@bsky.social, Soha Hammam, & Chris Shay) have a new piece out: wagingnonviolence.org/2025/06/amer.... In it, we show that through May 2025, the size and scale of anti-Trump protests have dwarfed those in 2017. 🧵

American “individualism” is more about a lack of collective care and understanding of our obligations to one another than it is true self-sufficiency.

Our culture’s obsession with charismatic savior types in politics (see also: celeb culture) is so much about Daddy coming to care for us / fix it
I’m sure the support of state—er, corporate media has nothing to do with this at all.

But people’ve been looking for protection, direction, & order, & some of them genuinely do not care at whose expense that will come, & do not get that it always comes for them in the end.
Partially explains the Senate Dems' cowardice, the public is apparently very much enjoying fascism at the moment. bsky.app/profile/atru...

Legacy Salmon Creek Medical Center has for some reason made the decision to halt gender-affirming surgeries for adults

The owner of Lavender Spectrum Health has started an online petition that she will be getting to the board of directors there.

if you find yourself reluctant to support the guy at Columbia because you find some of the politics he espoused distasteful or even abhorrent, you should know that this is exactly the reaction that they hoped for in choosing him as a target for unlawful detention based on political speech.

Please read and share. But especially share with folks that might not realize how critical Section 504 is to so many people. I tried to write a simple clear explanation at the break. I hope it reaches some people who aren't already on our side. Gift link: www.startribune.com/why-are-repu...

The linked post, which is from early Nov.—a very different time—is even more important today. As we grapple with hopelessness and fatigue, there is a path.

PS subscribe and, if you can, pay because it builds power and wisdom and vision are hard to find.
So, I read smart people.

There is a playbook for this next chapter.

I believe we can do this. It won’t be easy, but the map is there.

I cannot, during these horrific times, recommend enough the importance of making pockets of time to just do things that are not related to anything but the joy of being alive and playing. You need it. You do. It will keep you whole. Which we need. We need you whole.

The more under resourced we are emotionally, the easier it is to activate us and turn us against each other. The spectacle is a strategy fam. We have to resist with rest, regulation practices and rooting ourselves in our bodies as we fight back

Any 'zine or newsletter makers?
I live in a small diverse neighborhood of people who all moved in around the same time, so we have somewhat of a community here. I am thinking about making a zine to continue to build our community and bring people together. Advice, examples, warnings welcome!
