You don't tug on Superman's cape
You don't spit into the wind
You don't pull the mask off that old lone ranger
And you don't mess around with fascism

I’ve never heard of a β€œlaw enforcement” agency putting an officer who just killed someone back on the street under 24 hours. And that’s because all shootings are treated as homicides pending investigation. This is as clear a sign as you’ll get that DHS personnel enjoy practical immunity from murder.

The Shovel Next Time Liberation from tyranny is also liberation for the tyrants.

Today I wrote about a good man summarily executed on the streets by Republican death squads, and how, given the inevitable alternatives, even tyrants should hope for a people's liberation from tyranny. www.the-reframe.com/the-shovel-n...

The Reddit and Instagram response now is reminiscent of this media tipping point : πŸ‘‡

In their classic book β€œThe Rational Public,” about how public opinion doesn’t change much, Page and Shapiro have one chapter describing media tipping pointsβ€”when public opinion shifts DRAMATICALLY.

So important. What they say is not the story. That is never the story. What happened is the story. Write what happened.

🚨 BREAKING 🚨
The UK Govt has quietly published - without announcement - the Joint Intelligence Committee/DEFRA report it suppressed last October. They tried to sneak it out in the midst of crisis. Read and share:

β€œGlobal Biodiversity Loss, Ecosystem Collapse & National Security.”
