The Mafia State - Read by Eunice Wong First we got a mafia economy. Then we got a mafia state. We must rid ourselves of the ruling criminal class or become its victims.

'America is a full-blown kleptocracy. The demolition of the social and political structure, begun long before Trump, makes a few very, very rich and immiserates everyone else....It is not only our wealth that is being taken from us, but our liberty'

I wonder what will happen when hundreds of thousands of federal workers are unemployed and unlikely to get their jobs back in this administration. last time we had mass unemployment with no clear path to new jobs, our streets were full of protestors.

but these are libs

Cameras have appeared outside homes of Atlanta’s ‘Cop City’ activists. Why are they there? Cameras are hidden in unmarked boxes on utility poles in a move residents and advocates call ‘creepy’ and ‘corrosive’

Atlanta police have set up secret surveillance cameras outside of Stop Cop City activists' houses and gathering spots––and they refuse to answer any questions about the cameras

that we can unquestioningly, bipartisan-ly back a country that commits such terrors as a matter of course shows who we are

The federal court presiding over the Adams case (which hasn't been dismissed) has inherent power to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate whether there violations of the law being committed. There is cause at this point that an unlawful conspiracy is occurring at the highest levels of DOJ.

Biden set the stage for Trump’s border ramp-up, which was founded on Obama, Bush, Clinton. this has been policy for decades. no free country has a rights-free military-run concentration camp off its borders

isn’t making coffee the only thing conservatives think women are good at? how about subway, do they have too many women? or not enough?

right? is it a constitutional right of companies for us to buy from them? I missed that amendment!!

I don’t even know where to start with this one. is there even a legal basis for suing a company for having jobs traditionally held by more women occupied by women? is there a right not to wait enshrined in Missouri law? are we abolishing women and nonwhite people in the workplace?

A photo of a sunny decaying tree in winter with an especially cool fungus growing from it, and font over it reads “you want real change? Boycott Amazon “

I posted “boycott Amazon, boycott all super bowls, boycott coke AND pepsi, boycott diamonds, boycott the NBA, boycott nestle. to start.” and on FB a “friend” asked me why don’t I just move out of America?

if I don’t like billionaires running government I should move? I don’t yield to corporations!

the government has never in my lifetime made more of an incessant case for anarchy

A tweet by Ken klippenstein showing a msnbc video about “trumps first 100 days” with a quote from Connolly, trump has a mandate “to make sure that things are running well and efficiently— in that part, he has a mandate.”

my feeds everywhere are full of Hakeem Jeffries saying “what can we do?” and that Connolly mofo like “he has a mandate!” and the guy they can’t seem to stop has a goat made of $100 bills with his face on it, literally golden calf, I’ve never felt so much like I stepped into a dystopian nightmare

I come from a position of voting for candidates I want and not just the ones I think can win so I probably ranked the ones eliminated early. but I see your point

There's something hilarious about seeing some folks scream "resist!!!" when those same folks were denouncing Will Smith hitting Chris Rock because "violence has no place in our society."

If that was your reason for denouncing Smith, I want to see you carry that energy into strongly worded letters.🤣

the idea that we could elect a guy who literally looked and sounded like all our other mayors for the past 20 years and get different results… outrageous

My law students messaging me about how absurd it is for Keith Wilson, his administrators, and the city’s lawyers pretending that they can’t consider the reality & context of Zenith’s LUCS application.

Yes, it really is that stupid.

For my #PDX people: here is an occasional reminder that I am a notary public and waive all fees as a community service. Advance directives, gender affirming paperwork, and new documents for folks whose IDs have been trashed during sweeps, etc. DMs are open. #communitycare

And y'all was not even reading y'alls Octavia Butler to be ready for when shit hit the fan like this. Hit the books.

the world will continue to erupt in chaos as we show that, as a country, the rule of law means nothing to us, “humanitarian” is a word whose subjects of its aid have first been bombed and overthrown and starved by us, we do not protect anyone but our rich, our supremacy. may biden rot.

When I think about the fact that Israelis live high class first world luxury cities in absolute close proximity to utter apocalyptic devastation in Palestine they don't have to think about that's utterly chilling to me. @sleeplessin.bsky.social

“Nobody is above the law,” said the man committing genocide, threatening the International Criminal Court for his allies, pardoning his criminal son and using propaganda to lie about it all

We won’t stop speaking out about Gaza’s suffering – there is no climate justice without human rights | Greta Thunberg and Fridays for Future Sweden Fridays for Future Sweden activists haven’t ‘been radicalised’ – solidarity with marginalised people has always been at the heart of our message, say Fridays for Future Sweden activist Greta Thunberg and others

We won’t stop speaking out about Gaza’s suffering – there is no climate justice without human rights | Greta Thunberg and Fridays for Future Sweden

every day, every minute, my heart breaks for the heartbreak in gaza

may the oppressors know no quiet

learn to live without the expectation of safety

because if your safety can only be guaranteed by someone else’s oppression, you are never truly safe

and those who were raised into the world’s harshness; or who have learned through its devastation, the truth: protect, as much as we can, each other
