“What keeps us going, ultimately, is our love for each other, and our refusal to bow our heads, to accept the verdict, however all-powerful it seems. It’s what ordinary people have to do. You have to love each other. You have to defend each other. You have to fight.” —Mike Davis

I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.

This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

Boooom - go home loser

When someone centers animals, the economy, national identity, or any other secondary concern while human lives are being extinguished, they reveal an underdeveloped conscience. It’s easier to mourn a camel or a puppy than to face the abyss of human cruelty.

F.C.C. Changes Course on the Price of Prisoners’ Phone Calls

Today was a hard day. Regulations that we passed unanimously last year, after 7 years of advocacy, were largely gutted. The FCC capitulated to the correctional telecom industry in roughly doubling rate caps for prison and jail calls. I'm truly sorry.

I guess if you think about this more as an indicator of the death of the 500 year old technology known as the printing press it may be less remarkable/scary. I guess the role that journalism will play in society moving forward is more to the point.

It’s fun to look at this ai slop nazi propaganda and then remember what these guys actually look like. This isn’t what they (or america) looks like and far from loving america, this is an expression of severe self loathing bsky.app/profile/geof...

“We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable. So did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art, and very often in our art, the art of words.”

A set of three political environment factors that contribute to social movement success. Elite conflict - When elite groups are in conflict with one another, the political system is more vulnerable. Elites cannot ignore, stigmatize, or repress social movements with a unified voice during crises. Renegade elites may align with a social movement. Public opinion - When a majority of the population supports the goals of a social movement, policy makers are more likely to negotiate—or face being removed from elected office. Favorable public opinion provides a promising environment to use more noninstitutional protests. Elite blunders - Publicly observed blunders by elites during a social movement conflict bring more support to a social movement and harm the legitimacy of elite targets.

Social movements are more likely to have success when three factors are present: elite conflict, shifting public opinion, and elite blunders.

Mass collective action can create the conditions for these factors to emerge and deepen.

Are there any fans of The Iron Giant who would want this ceramic tiki mug? I have been carrying it around with me for years and am certain someone wants it in a way that I do not. Thought I’d ask on here because there are film people and cartoon people and collectors etc

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

I’m a US citizen and a veteran. ICE arrested me for no reason. Jailed for three days without an explanation or ability to notify anyone, George Retes argues the only path to healing starts with the government taking accountability for its actions.

“I spent three nights and three days in federal custody. During that time, I was never told what I was charged with, was not allowed to shower despite being covered in tear gas and pepper spray, had no phone call to my family, and no access to an attorney.” - George Retes, U.S. citizen and veteran.
