This is important. Overwhelming you with the awfulness of it all is their goal. They want you scattered. They want you hopeless and passive to the atrocities they commit.

Focus. RESIST.

As a Sociologist, I need to tell you

the chaos cascade (200+ exec orders) isn't dysfunction — it's disaster capitalism's playbook. your confusion = their strategy.

Like, what if this was just... two different wonderful puppies to choose from, wouldn't that be such a nice election

Classic tweet from Pat Dubois, @patdubois, from 8 November 2022 at 10:39 AM. The text reads "as a Canadian, this is how it feels watching American elections these days" and it shows two opposing candidates neck and neck. In blue with 50.1% of the vote is "everyone gets a puppy" with an adorable small yellow lab looking puppy. In red, with 49.9% of the vote, is "diarrhea forever" with a stock image of someone fighting for their life on a toilet, with an entire roll of toilet paper in hand, at the ready.

I don’t need to explain why it’s wildly unacceptable for the military to be illegally privately financed by the president’s wealthy allies, right?

In social movement studies, we talk about how marches and protests expand the threshold of acceptable risk so that people take more and bigger social risks IN PUBLIC, EN MASSE. This is extremely important for the bourgeois white folks holding signs and building social rapport.

Jonathan M. Katz @katz.theracket.news · 17d

Not a shitpost: #NoKings is feel-good performative activism for comfortable mostly upper and upper middle class white folks and that’s good, actually. Millions of people in the streets protesting a fascist regime is good. It is good for the normie baseline to be massive displays of public dissent.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

Hundreds of Alligator Alcatraz detainees drop off the grid after leaving site

As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald.

Chris Kluwe on Gavin Newsom and his treatment of the trans community:

www.thehandbasket.co/p/chris-kluw...

KABAS: You mentioned Governor Newsom, your state's governor. He's been in the spotlight lately for his social media posts trolling Trump. But he's also podcasted with far right media figures in the very recent past, and he's shown a willingness to throw trans people under the bus to achieve his greater aims. And so I'm really curious to know what you think of his leadership?

KLUWE: So Governor Newsom, his leadership is interesting in that he's very clearly a political creature. And he's going to do what he feels is best from a polling perspective, not necessarily what's best from a, ‘oh, this is my moral compass,’ or, ‘this is my line in the sand.’

I think it's pretty clear that he's going to be running, or considering a presidential run, and while I appreciate the fact that Gavin Newsom is fighting back right now and on our side, due to his constant attacks on the trans community and his willingness to host far right figures, I don't think he's worthy presidential material. And I don't think it's appropriate for him to present himself that way, unless he did a lot of work to make up for what he's done in the past.

I don't blame any trans person that refuses to vote for Gavin Newsom because he's showing people he will throw them under the bus. And as a democracy, we can't be willing to sacrifice other people. Like if you're willing to sacrifice another group, no matter how small that group is, you're not a democracy. You're some other form of government. Because when circumstances change, then that means you'll sacrifice another group, and basically at that point you're the same as Trump. You're just wearing a different hat.

“Law enforcement fails to act on multiple reports of a cop stalking and harassing ex-girlfriend, resulting in double murder and suicide.”

It’s a little long for a headline, but more accurate.

You’re not, but I am. Theft is a crime, and the tech industry does not have immunity just because they want to optimize profits regardless of the means of doing so.

I played in the @eff.org poker tournament at @defcon.bsky.social & won many hands b4 being knocked out in round 7 on a flop that gave the other player a full house over my 2 pairs.

I’m proud given I never played poker before & only started learning this week. Huge fun, I will definitely play again.

I won some early big pots and knocked out a couple other players…
