Calling @theferocity.bsky.social!!! ASSSEMBLE THE POETS, S!!

This story is nuts.

"ICE agents then surrounded the judge’s car and demanded everyone to exit the vehicle, threatening to smash in the windows if they did not comply."

Please stop using language that suggests that people with criminal records are appropriate targets for this administration's violence. One in three adults has a criminal record. Stop playing sacrifice games with fascists. Stop surrendering entire categories of people in your own mind.

If we want to stop the kidnappings and these agents require anonymity to commit these actions, then we must remove the masks.

So long as we allow masked law enforcement to terrorize people, we cannot be a democracy.

Over 71 million Americans are paid less than a living wage, and are forced into social safety nets like SNAP.

If you think too many people are receiving SNAP benefits, don’t shame them.

Shame their employers paying them poverty wages and forcing taxpayers to subsidize the rest.

The depth of the shame of a country this wealthy and abundant allowing its people to go hungry is impossible to measure. The fact that a handful of people could fix this by paying their fair share of taxes while still remaining obscenely wealthy makes it even worse.

Great framing.

Exactly.

This is great. The absurdity of this moment captured. Make it go viral.

🚨🚨 My dear friend and fellow academic, the Palestinian American sociologist @emanabdelhadi.bsky.social has been taken by the Cook County Sheriff near Chicago. They have not mirandized her. Please signal boost. All eyes on Broadview for Eman and the community she was defending 🚨🚨

Pentagon relaxes military cybersecurity training : Beards, body fat, and cyber refreshers now frowned upon

If you needed more proof that the coup in the US has Russian fingerprints all over it: cybersecurity trainings are now officially too woke for real warriors.

"Mandatory Department training will be directly linked to warfighting or otherwise be consolidated, reduced in frequency, or eliminated."

Disney, Sinclair, Nexstar like dominoes. Who is the next capitulator we think is vulnerable to mass people-powered pressure?

“It is not despair, for despair is only for those who see the end beyond all doubt. We do not.”

― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring

I get texts from this guy about this all the time.

He never tells me how to get organized and resist, he just asks me to give him money.

Why is this happening? I’ll explain.

If the FCC approves Nexstar’s merger deal, the company’s reach would increase from 39% to more than 80% of US households.

But the deal ALSO depends on the FCC eliminating the current 39% cap on reach. Sinclair has been lobbying for this change as well.

Hundreds of Alligator Alcatraz detainees drop off the grid after leaving site As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

This message is very important to remind ourselves of and to share with other people.

Dr. Oz is a large investor in and global advisor for iHerb, a company that sells supplements for folinic acid, which is the the non-prescription version of leucovorin, the medication which is being recommended for the treatment of autism by Dr. Oz.

Remember: If we allow ourselves to fall into fatalism, or wallow in disappointment, or become resigned to what is rather than what should be, we will lose the long game.

The greatest enemy of positive social change is cynicism about what can be changed.

Vote with your dollars.

“See it Now” episode that aired March 9, 1954 on CBS titled, "A Report on Senator Joseph R. McCarthy.”

Luckily, Sinclair has a helpful database of all their stations, so you can see if they're operating in your area and respond accordingly.

We are witnessing a swift and sweeping consolidation of media (traditional and social) into the hands of a small number of billionaires who are actively aligned/aligning (both via free will and coercion) with Trump and his right wing political party. This is (I’ll say it) a fascist project.

Kill recreational nihilism — wherever it comes from, whatever ideological mask it happens to be wearing. Do not engage in it. Do not indulge it. It makes you weak and it makes you stupid. If you haven't found meaning in something, don't make the void you have chosen everyone else's problem.

I would encourage more top/down analysis as opposed to solely left/right analysis.

Those with power retain power in part by keeping those without power viewing each other as the enemy.

There will always be another personality to front offensive and divisive ideas.

Look for the funders.

Spread calm. Tell the truth. Defend vulnerable people who are under attack. Getting stuck in a reactive mode is exhausting, and exhaustion can make us weak.

The MSNBC commentator saying that most political violence has historically come from the left just once again showed how we suffer from failing to learn history. Lynching, pogroms, race riots, the political violence that ended Reconstruction, and against the Civil Rights Movement. Come on.
