I was a sensitive kid. I loved cats. I had OCD, undiagnosed.
When I was 9, a fraternity brother tortured a cat to death in my hometown. The details even now are beyond imagination. archive.is/xdmUL
I was traumatized for years from reading the news story.
The torturer? Now the head of the NRA.

remember when we had weeks of hand-wringing over the propriety of making members of trump's first cabinet uncomfortable at restaurants
Feels like it should be a pretty big deal that a Trump supporter physically assaulted a Democratic congressman
Last night, I was assaulted by a man at Sundance Festival who told me that Trump was going to deport me before he punched me in the face. He was heard screaming racist remarks as he drunkenly ran off. The individual was arrested and I am okay.

If you haven't yet blocked AltNPS, now's a great time. ✨
AltNPS posted about Alex Pretti's murder 25 times since this morning. During that time, they spread misinformation about the shooting, lied about knowing the shooter's name, and generally flooded the zone with shit.
They're trying to milk this story for all it's worth.

One of the small but enraging things I keep coming back to is all the 2nd amendment, sovereign citizen-types who have been crowing for years about their fear of a hostile government force arresting and killing people without due process. Where the fuck have they been this past year? (rhetorical)

turfgrass research programs at universities are just money laundering schemes
What’s your lowest stakes conspiracy theory? Mine is that raw edges in fashion aren’t actually something anyone thought looks good, it’s just manufacturers not wanting to pay for hemming

As impressive as the images coming out of Minneapolis today are, a friend there just told me they don't do it justice - "the whole city was at a full standstill."

Breaking NYT:
The FBI agent who sought to investigate the federal immigration officer who fatally shot Renee Good has resigned from the bureau, according to two people familiar with the matter, after leadership pressured her to discontinue a civil rights inquiry into the officer.

did you guys know there is a current member of the Detroit organized crime syndicate whose nickname is "Vinnie Meatballs"
I'm so annoyed that this author set a mafia romance in Detroit but isn't referencing anything about Detroit or its organized crime history that I'm now learning everything I can about the history of organized crime in Detroit

my cocktail of choice this winter is the Gun Nut, which is a Revolver but with frangelico (hazelnut liqueur) added. Bourbon, splash of coffee liqueur, splash of frangelico. Add ice. We don't mess around with cocktail shakers unless it's a special occasion.

The leader of the federal panel that recommends vaccines for Americans said shots against polio and measles — and perhaps all diseases — should be optional.

After federal troops forced a fugitive slave named Anthony Burns back into slavery in the 1850s, one Bostonian wrote, “we went to bed one night old-fashioned, conservative, Compromise Union Whigs and waked up stark mad Abolitionists.” The abuse of power radicalizes people. We are seeing that now.

Two women trained as first responders were abducted by three ICE agents. One of the agents starts seizing. The other two don’t know what to do. The women jump into action and save the agent’s life, only to be re-handcuffed and processed.

Detained by ICE, two women became first responders during agent’s seizure
The women say they guided agents through the emergency, later raising concerns about medical protocols, weapons safety and accountability.

Today is, among other things, a reminder that you don't get a general strike by posting that we should have a general strike.
You get a general strike—on the rare occasions you do—by the long slow slog of building organizing power with those around you in response to local conditions.

I was active in Chicago and talking to friends in MPLS it is an exponential evolution in the organizing that happened here.
I keep seeing leftists from outside of Minneapolis say they’ve seen all this before, and no, you haven’t. I’ve been at this for 30+ years and I haven’t either. It’s not what you’re picturing. This is something else
I know people keep saying this but it’s hard to communicate the depth of active resistance here. Like, I’m on random cafes and people are checking in for observation shifts. Signs everywhere. Folks in visibility vests on the corners. It’s wild. Absolutely wild.
