Lol at every university trustee and law firm partner who concluded they had no choice but to play ball with this bumbling fool

At a time when the Supreme Court is rapidly consolidating an extreme version of the unitary executive theory, ordinary people selected as grand and petit jurors are showing us how central institutions like the jury are to democracy.

8 or how many participants it had. Roger Geller even cited similarities in the way that Portland Bureau of Transportation bicycle rides would move through stop signs as a group. During its decline, Critical Mass was attracting far fewer participants than police officers while many other rides were much larger. Where was this edge coming from? In December of 1994, after a year and a half of peculiar tickets being issued for nonexistent violations at Critical Mass rides, longtime participant Fred Nemo helped organize 17 people into a class action suit in federal court. A year later they were awarded $50,000 and some documents that began to explain the tip of the iceberg about the origin of the police’s harassment. Instead of referring to the group as “Critical Mass,” the police always dubbed them the “Anarchist Bicycle Rally,” which at the time was confusing and seemed to indicate bad intelligence on the part of the police. The depth of discovery in these documents was a bit shocking. The discovery was also nothing new. Beginning in 1993, the Portland Police Department had been spying on Critical Mass through their Criminal Intelligence Division (CID). CID had been around since at least the 1950s and was originally dubbed “The Red Squad.” The city didn’t admit that it existed for many years, but it spied on communists and undermined the political activities of its citizens. Similar in fashion to the tactics of the FBI’s COINTELPRO, The Red Squad set out to discredit radical politics and protect the status quo. Over time it went through several rebrandings but its function remained similar. 9 Michael Munk, author of The Portland Red Guide and a professor of history, summarized that the Red Squad, CID, and its current form, Criminal Intelligence Unit (CIU), never significantly changed its goals or function since its early days, sixty years ago, of interrogating members of the International Workers of the World—whose bodies were later found in the river

ok i downloaded Biel's zines, and the first thing Biel points to is the cops infiltrating Critical Mass. i post this for the sake of knowing our history and also to invite folks to think critically about sabotage of current movements

I think the host and the wine are cute but why does the crucifix have a little cross at the top

Trump is an infirm, sundowning grifter owned by a collection of notorious criminals and it's not even a secret. If this were a functioning country we would have already ended this.

feel like it should be a bigger story that the global war on terrorism is being replaced with a domestic war on terrorism

"the government should try, convict and then kill the secretary of defense for the crime he very obviously seems to have committed" seems like a radical thing to say, but -- no, it's not. it's the actual penalty for what pete hegseth, a man who ordered death squads to murder civilians, has done.

that Pearl Jam song, you know the one

President rapist. Cabinet full of rapists. A rapist and an abuser on the Supreme Court. Pro-rape policies.

The Republican Party is objectively pro-rape.

Social cohesion can’t endure without some sort of penalty — opprobrium, shame, what have you — attaching to baldfaced, unrepentant lying.

extraordinarily quiet moments on beaches in San Mateo and Santa Cruz counties on 12/2

This is an ethnic cleansing campaign

Hillary Clinton blames TikTok and “totally made up” videos for young people’s views on Israel and Palestine.

She says social media influenced “not just the usual suspects” but also “young Jewish Americans who don’t know the history and don’t understand.”
