I bet your Breaking Bad takes are as morally and critically vapid as this shit

Part of this! bsky.app/profile/for....

lol it’s this guy

Tom Nichols Follower label checks out

Someone actually responded that abuse victims "should leave, not escalate."

I turned off the replies to avoid any more of this BS, but for clarity, if that's your perspective: fuck you, you victim-blaming piece of shit.

So stop playing into their narrative. Be clear about who the good guys and the bad guys are, no matter fucking what.

Yes, they'll use whatever they can. They'll also say a nonviolent protest was violent. They'll also beat you and arrest you and then say you hit them first (as police traditionally have at protests). I'm not saying some actions won't be used against people, I'm saying that narrative happens anyway.

Beyond advocating, maybe get off your asses and show us how it's done. Stop lecturing people in motion about how to avoid outcomes that they unleash on us NO MATTER WHAT WE DO.

Advocate for the tactics you believe are powerful and effective—we probably agree about those. But stop preemptively scapegoating the same people that Trump scapegoats for his fascist violence. Only this administration is to blame for its violence. It was already planned.

Are you starting to get it? He was always going to hit us. You will not change the math by insisting that people assume some magical form of perfect victimhood that somehow reels in a monster. That's not real. And I am so sick of hearing it.

He was always going to do this. Chicagoans have not rioted, so the administration just lied and said we have. We have not attacked ICE agents, so they just lied and said we did. There was no chaos here, so they created chaotic scenes by attacking people and filmed that shit.

Y'all who keep lecturing protesters to "not give them an excuse" need to pause for a minute. Imagine yourself telling a DV victim, "Be sure not to mouth off or make any mistakes so he won't hit you. Don't give him an excuse! It's what he wants!" That's what you fools sound like.

COINTELPRO NEVER ENDED

The terrors persist but the joys remain worth fighting for

Holding the Line Through Tear Gas and Censorship “There is no neutral ground in this moment. You’re either resisting or you’re complicit,” says Eman Abdelhadi.

The early part of this episode (and transcript) covers some of the resistance that has been happening on the ground here, in terms of protests, rapid response, ICE patrols, and mutual aid.

National Guard Arrives In Chicago Area Despite Judge Urging Feds To Hold Off President Donald Trump has sent National Guardsmen to Illinois despite local officials objecting. Gov. JB Pritzker previously said the deployment is part of "Trump's invasion."

Yesterday, a federal judge refused to immediately block the Trump administration’s deployment of National Guard troops. Today, troops arrived in the Chicagoland area.

Trump Is Releasing the Full Force of Federal Police on Chicago Trump is normalizing attacks on blue cities because he intends to overpower hubs of democratic resistance.

This morning, a friend who had been traveling and was out of the loop asked me for resources to catch up on what has been happening in Chicago. If you are in a similar situation and need to catch up on the details, this piece outlines the events of the past week or so.

Worst thing about these tower spoofing vans is you can't opt out of it.

Your phone WILL jump to the spoofed tower since it'll position itself as the strongest signal. Phones are designed at their core default to jump to the strongest available tower.

“Conversion therapy” is a euphemism for child abuse, and every mainstream medical and mental health organization has rejected this practice for decades. There is no evidence that it does anything besides harm children. It is one of the few subjects where there is an overwhelming medical consensus.

Completely unrelated story but when I drank, I was a very forgiving drunk, much more willing to tolerate people and opinions I couldn’t stand when I was sober. Especially if those people with bad opinions were buying the next round.

all discourse aside, there is one machine with consciousness. it's printers. they are alive and conscious and they hate you and they'd take your arm clean off if you let them. never trust a printer.

This is 100% the moderate position!

It's OK to ban healthcare for trans kids but not OK to ban torture programs.

men used to get unrealistic expectations from porn and women used to get them from romance books. now everyone gets them from playing immersive 100 hour videogames where an elf with a shadowy past comes to know love again through your shared adventure and offers up their glistening elf body to you

we were only making sandcastles!

The attack on Mark is another stunt by right-wing grifters to victimize a random person in an effort to use MAGA fear mongering to justify their existence. It should go without saying we should do anything possible to support his family.

I forgot the name of their message board but the vibes there were extremely off-putting

I don't mean Derrida, I mean the two big modern boys and their fans

main problem with hauntology is how many of its proponents were insufferable
