🧵Shock Doctrine is a social control strategy that uses recurrent shocks to make people feel overwhelmed & easier to conquer. To inflict suffering, push us into submission, or prompt us to rise up against our oppression in a way the fascist regime can use as an excuse to institute martial law.

Pardon my language but what the fuck is a Supreme Court Justice doing going on Fox? This is infuriating.

Amy Coney Barrett defends heavy use of the shadow docket: "If we wrote a long opinion, it might give the impression that we have finally resolved the issue, and in none of these cases have we finally resolved the issue."

Holy shit! I cannot believe this. A Supreme Court Justice on Fox News. This is infuriating.

That looks equal parts fun and terrifying. My friend Adam got to do that. He went through NASA's astronaut training. I would sure love to try it myself. I love things that make me go, "I want to do that!"

What made them choose that one person to attack and kidnap?

That seems like a much better design than bags. I've always found bags to be problematic. Do many different kinds!

The only violence I’ve been seeing in Portland is from the so-called Feds!!!

Keep sharing these videos; it’s evidence.

That's awful. I wonder if people can bring their own? Not that it's easy to do that or that everyone has one...

That is so cool. I didn't even know vacuums existed in 1929.

Wow! Does it use bags? Do today's bags fit it if it does?

Zully and her three weakest kittens. She had seven so I had to occasionally take the four big ones away so these guys could pick up weight. It was fun taking care of and getting to love this little family.

That is something I had not even thought of.

How gorgeous! So much good art is going to come out of this. It reminds me of your beautifully organized garage.

What is something that brought you Joy today?

It's been gently raining for a couple of days and my garden looks so perky and happy. A spray from a garden hose pales in comparison to lots of nitrogen-filled water falling from the sky.

Three days after a judge prohibited using tear gas on protestors in Chicago, ICE tried to grab a guy leaving a Lutheran church and as people from the church started filming, ICE tear gassed them all. It's on film and just happened.

But no republican donors are donating to him. They're done with him for outing republican orgies.

YES! This poor woman was very brave and selfless and she's been slandered by powerful people but she is the one on the right side of history. I wish I could bake her a lasagna to show my appreciation for all she's done and how much it cost her.

That is completely right! It's horrible. And some PR teams have set up this system of pretending that all palm oil in the world comes through a new and small forest in Nigeria, which is physically impossible. It's like they do with blood diamonds.

This picture got both of these kittens adopted. Taking picture from below and looking up can create some really good shots.
