Impressive grassroots effort by some young policy and political entrepreneurs.

All eyes on Gaza.

All boats in the Sumud Flotilla intercepted and peaceful activists arrested in international waters.

Gaza City given final removal order, any left will be considered a terrorist.

Who own the airwaves and whose ring do they kiss?

Trump and the FCC.
Nexstar (owns 30 ABC affiliates) and Sinclair (owns 40) won’t being back Kimmel.

70 markets now get different media.

This is concerned.

Nexstar-owned ABC affiliates won't show Kimmel's return Tuesday, joining Sinclair in preempting program Nexstar Media Group said it would join Sinclair's ABC-affiliate stations in preempting the return of "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" on Tuesday.

Nextstar and Sinclair refuse to
bring back Kimmel tonight.

So lot of markets will not see his show return.

Don’t fall for the headlines. We keep boycotting.

This is the playbook, folks.

If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away.

Do not be quiet in this moment.

The goal is to keep us silent.

Make talking about slavery taboo, so it can be repeated.

Make condemning hate speech an attack on their idol.

Make people afraid to speak, even rich powerful white men, and you control what gets covered.

Democracy dies in darkness.

The β€œwar” has always been against Black and brown people, poor people, immigrants, and women.

But they have now created the conditions to execute this hate and future extremist hate campaigns using SCOTUS and the law.

The left will be Black and brown people, queer people, trans people, immigrants, women, and other
groups that are already under attack.

The stereotypes and assumptions these groups will face will increase violence again these communities.

We already see HBCU’s facing bomb threats and lockdowns.

The extremists on the far right have used Kirk’s death to call for a β€œwar” against β€œwoke, radical leftists”…but how do they target the β€œleft”?

By using the stereotypes and assumptions media has let play out for years.

They are going to target minoritized groups.

SCOTUS has allowed ICE to use racist and classist assumptions about an individual to complete their mass detention and deportation campaign.

If you speak Spanish or speak English with an accent, work a low wage job, use the bus, or look β€œethnic” they have the right to stop you.

HBCU’s are on lockdown following the Charlie Kirk gun death yesterday.

Earlier this week SCOTUS ruled that ICE could use racial profiling in their stops for people they believe are in this country illegally.

These two things are connected.

Here’s how 🧡

Oh also, I’m not seeing much on the Colorado school shooting today…

Condemn the gun violence every time, for every person.

It’s the guns. It’s the guns. It’s the fucking guns.

It should really worry all of us that unilaterally condemning gun violence is painted as a surprisingly bipartisan issue.

I want to fight for a world
where the expectation is we all vehemently condemn political violence and gun violence.

Every time. For everyone. Period.

Jokes aside, if Biden was AWOL for four days and had nothing on his sked for a holiday weekend:
-CNN would permanently show a running clock on the last time Biden was seen in public
-Alex Thompson would publish multiple stories a day on Axios
-Chris Cillizza would crank out 56 "But His Age" stories

Providence’s new Real Time Crime hub feels like futuristic sci-fi tech. How it works. Digital maps, live camera feeds and drones: Providence police's Real Time Crime Center turns video surveillance into instant action.

Providence, we are now in a mass surveillance city. It’s not β€œfuturistic”, this is a slippery slope. Given the rise of fascism…this is terrifying.

UK police arrest at least 466 people at Palestine Action protest in London Critics say ban on activist group stifles freedom of speech and assembly and aims to curb pro-Palestine demonstrations.

UK police arrested hundreds today at protests over the Palestine Action ban.

Absolutely bonkers quote from the police here: β€œIt will take time, but we will arrest anyone expressing support for Palestine Action."

Just to reiterate: Simple written or verbal expressions of support are illegal.

People who are migrants. Trans people. People experiencing homelessness. Everyone is next.

They have started coming for us. All Americans. But we have lost the soul of this nation and we believe some people are less deserving of human rights.

We created the conditions for everyone to be next.

map of US states and ratio of corrections to homelessness funding.

We spend more on criminalizing homelessness than we do solving and providing housing.

We don’t care about people, we are about a police state.

Veterans, survivors of domestic violence, children, older adults. THIS is who we are saying don’t deserve human dignity.
