Been thinking a lot about this recently as a general action of the state, the right, etc. If I was better with words (which I’m not) I’d talk about how I see it as a repeated thing we’re supposed to cheer as an entertainment trope too.

10/7 as Israel’s 9/11 is a perfect metaphor because in both cases the attacks are used as excuse to bomb thousands of people who had nothing to do with the attacks, and the majority of Israelis/Americans have no ability to look honestly at why the attacks might’ve happened.

The war did not begin on October 7 when did acts of war first break out in Gaza?

The war did not begin on October 7. It didn't start with Palestinians invading Israel. And it's not a war against Hamas, it's a war targeting all Palestinians and anyone who supports them.

Don’t spend it all in one place.

I have a loose ongoing list of questions that are varying degrees of embarrassing that I have nobody I will ever be able to ask about and doubt I ever will, which is a shame because I’d love to know the answers to them all.

An illustration. In the foreground, two figures sit on a downed tree and embrace. There is a gasoline can and two spicy cocktails in the ferns surrounding them. They look down at a valley which has a prison on fire in it. There is a decorative leaf border around the whole illustration. Text at the bottom reads Our Melody is Louder than a Shout and has a circle a.

our melody is louder than a shout

"People hate what is happening, which means there are people around you who want to help stop it. You are not alone in wanting to take action. Step up and help; it works."

Furious white and grey goose rides grey and black bike. They have a furious monobrow.

Every day the goose stole my bike and every day I bought it back for half an apple.

Here is a drawing I did on a piece of cardboard. It is a drawing of a bird saying the words “Abolish ICE”. Sharpie marker and color pencils on cardboard.

Corvids want you to destroy ICE

When the Orwellian named Dept of Homeland Security was created … MANY of us predicted that it would eventually be doing all the things that it is doing right now

Pinning it uniquely on Trump really misses the point in a bunch of ways

This is absolutely right.

This is a good thread that is frustrating because I remember pointing these things out in my earliest years on Facebook (at 16! 17!) and the majority of my white, upper middle-class peers whose parents went to Ivies and Liberal Arts schools couldn't see the throughline.

Liberals and Democrats will call for "funding local police" as a way to solve the problem of DHS/ ICE and no one will think about the fact that this is how we got here.
