Welcome to the United States of Suppression Our new series documents the recent crackdown on dissent and protests in the U.S.

For Teen Vogue’s series United States of Suppression, we spoke to civil rights lawyers and organizers to understand how our right to protest is being curtailed, and how people are working around the barriers placed in their way. ⤵️

How to Defend Immigrants Against the Most Common ICE Tactics These “know your rights” videos have crucial, easy-to-understand information.

Knowing your rights, exercising your rights, and informing others about their rights is not a crime. It’s a constitutional right.

this comment just made all of conservatives’ weird and conflicting attitudes towards sex make sense to me

When people cheer Mangione, watch for tons of pearl-clutching about norms from people who absolutely reject and ignore both norms and actual laws. They seek to impose standards they don’t follow. They’d never apply those norms and standards to Trumpism.

Hey there cutie 💓

Co-signed. Hi, I didn't sleep through history class and I will NOT abide Nazis, no fucking matter how much they try to bad-faith argue that they aren't Nazis.

To date Zuckerberg has spent roughly $42 billion to create this.

straining hard not to be annoying by replying "they do not want to" after every post i see wondering why the democrats are not scoring this or that obvious open goal, but yes the answer is that they do not want to

*gestures rudely* I got yer “immutable biological reality” right here

From EARTHSEED: THE BOOKS OF THE LIVING Choose your leaders with wisdom and forethought. To be led by a coward is to be controlled by all that the coward fears. To be led by a fool is to be led by the opportunists who control the fool. To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen. To be led by a liar is to ask to be told lies. To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery.

from “Parable of the Talents” by Octavia Butler

Quite impressive the people who want to argue if the Nazis are Nazis. They’ll be the first to join up if the firewall collapses. Apparently we must use far right determined terminology for fascists. Wake the hell up. Here is the definition of far right.

I mean, as long as someone ENFORCES the ruling, I'm all for it.

Reminder: Black history offers many examples of fighting authoritarianism, so one doesn't always have to look to Europe. Nazi lawyers looked to Jim Crow for inspiration for their racist laws. Read as much about struggles against Jim Crow as you do about other examples of resisting authoritarianism

YouTube video by The Charismatic Voice Lorna Shore "To the Hellfire" REACTION & ANALYSIS by Vocal Coach / Opera Singer

Nice that, even though this clearly not her style of music, she makes clear that what Ramos does is fucking insane from a breath control/complexity standpoint. It's only recently that pro analyses acknowledge that unclean vocals involve just as much skill as clean ones.

Discworld QOTD, from Going Postal

I can proudly say I haven't diddled with AI since early DALL-E. At this point, it's the nerdier cousin of rolling coal, *and* it's all stolen.

When tyranny becomes law, rebellion becomes duty.

It looks like Kendrick has won for now but sources tell me Drake has a devastating rebuttal planned for his performance at the Kids’ Choice Awards

Found out that TWENTY emails is considered a lot to politicians on an issue.

TWENTY.

As in, they call that getting slammed.

So next time you see a request to email your rep, or call, keep that in mind.

TWENTY is a lot.

Agreed. Wallace Shawn has always been extremely awesome.
