It is insane to expect protestors protecting their neighbors to behave like political strategists debating what will persuade the most voters.

These folks are having their community terrorized and disappeared. They’re not trying to win an election, they’re fighting for their lives.

A protest safety info graphic. It reads:

YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO PROTEST β€” BUT BE CAREFUL β€”
	β€’	DO NOT ENGAGE: Don’t argue or resist the police, even if they’re wrong.
	β€’	AVOID NIGHT PROTESTS: Darkness hides the worst dangers and bad actors.
	β€’	FOLLOW TRAFFIC LAWS: Stay out of the road unless permitted.
	β€’	PROTECT YOUR IDENTITY: Keep yourself and others safe.
	β€’	IF IT STARTS TO GET UGLY, LEAVE β€” DON’T RUN β€”

Project 2025 playbookβ€”Trump wants to enact martial law.

It’s a set up. If you protest, keep that in mind. DO NOT GIVE HIM AN EXCUSE!

Audible unveils plans to use AI voices to narrate audiobooks Amazon brand will offer more than 100 artificial intelligence-generated voices in English and other languages

Hate this a lot. Value human creators, writers, artists, narrators, editors -- everyone in the chain of making a book and putting it out into the world should be a human being. Humans make art for humans.

P.S. fuck AI -- eat shit, artbarf robots

I do think that, as insignificant as each protest might seem in isolation, the additive resistance across the whole country is helping us avoid worst case scenario.

We also have the advantage of information being able to spread like wildfire.

The repeat of history is not a given.

New Jersey mayor arrested at ICE detention center where he was protesting, prosecutor says | CNN Newark Mayor Ras Baraka was arrested Friday at an ICE Detention Center where he was protesting its opening, a federal prosecutor said.

The arrest of Newark Mayor Ras Baraka is a warning sign of just how far Trump and his allies are willing to go to silence dissent. This is not normal. It’s authoritarian behavior, plain and simple.

The most corrupt administration in American history wants you to look the other way from this.

We can't. We need answers.

It's not a bad idea to go to the local Walmart or big box retailer and buy lots of consumables now. From toothpaste to soap, anything you can find storage space for, buy before they have to replenish inventory.

Even if it's made in the USA , they will jack up the price and blame it on tariffs.

Just so everybody understands, Booker has been speaking cogently about the issues the entire time and Strom Thurmond famously spent hours reading from the encyclopedia, because segregationists were and are dumbshits

Booker: "I confess that I have been imperfect. I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment. I've confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say 'we will do better.'"
