Miranda

1. “Release the Files!” (Proceeds to obstruct them in every way)
2. “Fix the economy!” (Proceeds to tank the it AND have every “cost saving” approach overturned in court, thus actually making them more expensive)
3. “Stop all wars!” (Proceeds to start one every other week)
4. “Save elections!” (…?)

“Board” (Emperor for life) “of” (of) “Peace” (war until we obtain peace by killing everyone who disagrees)

I think about this literally all the time. All. The. Time.

Call me a raving radical but I literally do not care whether your imperialist massacre of children is “constitutional” or not.

To be clear: the only reason that people lose elections is because they fail to secure enough votes. The blame lies squarely on the candidate’s failure to connect with voters, not on voters refusing to play team sports.

Ffs can you people hear yourselves?

The most mid-Atlantic thing I’ve ever seen

I love it, I do, but Baba is You is hell on overthinkers

Pretty much. I have no idea why anyone thinks that they should be listened to or respected when they literally can’t do the bare minimum that the job requires

Yes this! Bargaining and negotiating really seem to be lost arts. You don’t start at “reasonable bare minimum” whatever that means. You start with the full wishlist and bargain down from there, but only to what you have previously decided is your best offer.

Agree completely. The thing that must happen is not rendered unimportant because it is hard or costs us

This is such an important point. I’m tired of every imperative demand being defanged immediately by the “but think of the fallout!” people. No. I will, however, think about what is necessary REGARDLESS of that. Enough of this history as a flat predictor and futurity as a fixed repeater Calvinism.

1. ICE is not the police, they are deploying police authority they don’t have.
2. Police need warrants. Warrantless searches, mass surveillance, and background dragnets are 4th Amendment violations.
3. This is true regardless of criminal history, gun ownership, or citizenship.

I hope this helps.

The protest music around this is getting better and louder but this might be my favorite so far. Anthem energy

Keep your own lists folks because they *will* erase their participation. Notice the disappearance of signs/stickers/hats

One of the best things I’ve read in a while:

Hm. It’s almost like having preposterous amounts of money, power and influence DOESN’T mean you braver, smarter, or better than everyone else and should be treated like experts on literally everything. Huh.

Nah that can’t be right. Better elect them Imperial Council in Charge of the Whole Galaxy™️

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

Literal murder.

CBP chief Bovino has confirmed that the officers who executed Alex Pretti in the street yesterday are not only *not on administrative leave,* they have all been reassigned to other jurisdictions and are all on the street today.

This is totally unheard of for any officer-involved shooting

Freaking finally

The majority of organizing happening in Minnesota isn’t just peaceful, it’s INVISIBLE. Moms showing up who won’t be interviewed on TV, people whose ICE patrols don’t turn into viral video. The grocery runs, the donations, the people filming bc they happen to be there. Please remember this.

In the world 5 years ago, Jesse Welles would be nowhere near this show. I’m happy to see him there but the exceptionality shows the extremity. We’re sliding down this hill faster and faster folks, we only stop if we dig in

they're executing moms and nurses in the street. they're using preschoolers as bait. they're stealing people's dads and grandmas and children. they're tear gassing babies. they're staking out schools. there is no remedy but abolition. any proposal that doesn't start there is an act of violence.

I watched tho I didn’t want to, just like Renee and every extrajudicial state killing that was justified in the name of “safety” - Castile, Floyd, too many to name. My heart is so very tired of watching. But in a world where the state lies to justify its crimes, it is the only way to maintain truth

I can’t vote for Kat because I don’t live there. But I will never, EVER vote for anyone who doesn’t swear to do this and if you would at this point then you are not stupid - you are lying about what side you are on

Kat not Kay obviously. Point still stands

"They say they're coming to save us from some evil? They're talking about our neighbors who take care of us ... Alex was murdered while he was helping. Mr Rogers said look for the helpers, & right now the helpers have a target on our forehead ... Mr Rogers would be here right now too, so I'm here."

Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."

At the end of the day, the Black Lives Matter era was about whether people should be killed in the street, and lots of people decided yeah and put those little blue flags on their cars. It spread to everyone because it stopped for no one.

ICE agents are America's failures, basically indistinguishable from lazy school shooters, losers who want to play Call of Duty on our streets against people who can't fight back. They have unlimited ammo and toss tear gas like they're pressing L1. They have to be defunded and jailed. All of them.
