When we say, “Remember, there is organized and there is disorganized and sometimes disorganized is its own kind of organized,” it speaks to how communities often adapt when they know they’re being monitored. In many movements, people have intentionally shifted away from predictable

Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents.

They’ve had their necks kneeled on.

They’ve been held outside in the rain while in their underwear.

At least three citizens were pregnant when agents detained them.
More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days.
The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

I genuinely believe it's impossible to have these three things at the same time:

- An intimate knowledge of the events of the Uvalde shooting.
- A basic understanding of firearms.
- A belief that gun control is good and that police will effectively respond to threats.

You can at most pick two.

O'Hara: "There's folks that are masked, they may be kidnapping people. We have had those reports. The community should know that if you see something like that, you should call 911. Let's not forget -- we very recently had tragedy in this state by someone who was purporting to be law enforcement."

The president is a political cartoon of corruption come to life, a gaudy grifter who is selling off pardons and lining his pockets, building a golden ballroom and protecting his fellow sex predator elites, all the while regular Americans are suffering and struggling to make ends meet.

Decent article from @wired.com via the hard work of @inrange.tv @tacticoolgf.bsky.social @deviantollam.bsky.social & many others!

Highly recommend subscribing to WIRED

WIRED has refused to 'bend the knee'/capitulate to the wannabe-dictator and they deserve your support!
What do you do when you’re a gun-loving leftist who doesn’t fit into mainstream American gun culture?

That's a question @manishakrishnan.bsky.social set out to answer this summer when she attended a Brutality match, an inclusive firearms competition in Idaho.
The Hard-Left Shooters Leading a Gun Culture Revolution
Earlier this year, I attended a shooting competition for queer, often trans, very online misfits. Then Charlie Kirk was killed.

She doesn't want to have to campaign for the midterms as a GOP loyalist and then be stained by a disaster. Once she sees failure coming , she wants out immediately.
MTG, smarter than most GOP Congressmen, commits to her strategy: be the first rat off the sinking ship. She predicts the GOP will lose the midterms and Trump will be impeached - and while she's often acting, that seems like a true belief. No one should embrace her but we should respect her savvy.

If the Republicans have decided that they want to die on the hill that troops should obey illegal orders and that encouraging them not to is a threat to Trump's defense policy, then I say let them.

The pedophilic wannabe-dictator wants you to be too scared to be willing to stand

In these trying times it's critically important to remember that courage is not the absence of fear

Courage is taking a stand despite the fear

Don't fight it or hide from it, let it pass through you and motivate

They lied about it. All of it. A thug cop shot an unarmed woman five times without justification, boasted about it to his colleagues, and then this administration tried cover it all up by arresting her and charging her with felonies.
Absolutely incredible; after shooting Marimar Martinez 5 times and arresting her on claims that she rammed them and pulled a gun, prosecutors have now moved to dismiss ALL criminal charges against her and her codefendant.
New: the govt has moved to dismiss its assault case against Marimar Martinez and Anthony Ian Santos Ruiz, two people accused of "box[ing] in" a Border Patrol vehicle in Chicago on Oct. 4.

One agent shot Martinez, with evidence presented to the court that he later bragged about in text messages.

The American Psychiatric Association did review it and it was so scathing that no reputable journal would ever have published this report with such glaring conflicts of interest, methodological flaws, and a refusal to even name the authors. The Endocrine Society and AAP declined to engage w/ it.

Since everyone is rightly focused on the Epstein files, now would be a good time to remind you:

Child marriage is legal in 34 states across the US. That’s almost 70% of this nation.

How about we end that?

1. The Trump administration has just quietly updated the State Department website to indicate that it may invalidate transgender people's passports.

This comes a week after a SCOTUS ruling blocking lower rulings allowing trans people to update them.
