NEW: White House announces it's going to pause, and potentially cancel, $11 billion in infrastructure funding (via the Army Corps of Engineers), specifically citing cities, like New York, represented or led by Democrats. More to come.

All the liberals telling people to sit down if “violence” (whatever that is) breaks out at their parade is really really awful.

Now HERE is a book I am thrilled is going to exist. Eric's been making an excellent case for years now that prepping shouldn't be a right-wing-coded activity--it's a way for us to begin building the support networks we'll need in our uncertain future. Cannot wait for you guys to read this.

Today marks the anniversary of John Brown’s 1859 raid on Harpers Ferry. His attempt to seize the federal armory and spark a slave uprising ended in defeat, but the raid has endured as a symbol of radical resistance.

Bari Weiss is building a right-wing CBS knockoff—mimicking the format, harvesting the credibility, but serving pure partisanship.

This is the Venture Capital fascism playbook: clone trusted institutions, staff them with right-wing ideological warriors, and call it ‘balance.’

Update: After Bari Weiss was made Editor-in-Chief, CBS News is now uplifting stories from Weiss’s The Free Press.

I spoke to a Venezuelan woman who was arrested in this raid and later released with her 4yo son. She said agents broke down their door, pointed guns at them and made sexualized remarks about Venezuelan women. When she returned to her apartment it was boarded up and all her possessions were gone.

Please, if you have the privilege of not being an obvious and immediate target for state violence...

Call them fascists, loudly, ESPECIALLY right now.

Call yourself an antifascist, loudly, ESPECIALLY right now.

We all need to be Spartacus on this one.

The fact that an agent literally said "fuck them kids" is just icing on the unconstitutional cake.

They enjoy being able to play badass while they terrorize neighborhoods.
misternov3mber.bsky.social Mister November @misternov3mber.bsky.social · 17d
From the local CBS news story:
Neighbors like Eboni Watson say they ducked for cover as they heard several flash bangs. "They was terrified. The kids was crying. People was screaming. They looked very distraught. I was out there crying when I seen the little girl come around the corner, because they was bringing the kids down, too, had them zip tied to each other," Watson said. "That's all I kept asking. What is the morality? Where's the human? One of them literally laughed. He was standing right here. He said, 'f*** them kids.""

This week, the president and the secretary of defense told every American general they want to use American cities as military training grounds. They've been using Gaza as a training ground and war crimes laboratory for the last two years. This was always the plan.
jessicawildfire.bsky.social Jessica Wildfire @jessicawildfire.bsky.social · 17d
The big companies that designed new war crimes technologies in Gaza are the same ones buying up all of our apps and media and helping the Trump regime zip-tie kids and throw them into vans in Chicago. It's all connected.

FAA has issued MASSIVE temporary flight restriction which prohibits drones (i.e., photography) over Chicago.

They did similar around federal buildings in Los Angeles since June protests, but really no comparison...

Chicago's TFR covers 900x more area than ones in LA! 🧵👇

Maybe all the energy & water use would be worth it if we were getting major benefits like cures for diseases and saving endangered species

But we're wasting our drinking water and paying higher electricity bills for deepfake revenge porn, shitty ad voiceovers, cheating on term papers, & MechaHitler

The military are already on our streets. He's killing civilians by drone, plotting to invade or coup or colonize at least two different countries. We're watching a livestreamed genocide in Gaza. Stop with the gestures toward hypocrisy. It's over. We have to do more than wring our hands
