It says something about the cultural touchstones of this website that a significant amount of people are unaware that they are making separate movies of every member of the Beatles but are very familiar with the old west cartoon lizard movie called Rango and are apparently waiting for a sequel

Or how about this headline — “American citizen arrested without cause after exercising his Constitutional rights.” Very important that government propaganda not become the default framing.

For my first piece for Group Threat I wrote about the grotesque profits being made off of people's lives through ICE contracts.
If we're going to survive this, we have to abolish the profit motive that ever made us see swaths of people as expendable for profit.

People must break these habits.
Why do you want to immerse yourself in their worldviews?
Why do you want to spread their rhetoric because regardless of your epic quip you are spreading their thoughts and messages.
Break these patterns. Propping them up gives them more power regardless of tone.

Scrolling through the photos of Pam Bondi's "Minnesota rioters," it's just hero after hero. Every photo includes a cowardly DHS agent with their back to the camera.
Bondi thinks she's going to win the propaganda war with this shit, but it's never been more clear that they're losing.

Wise words from WEB DuBois to gird us today: "It would be shame and cowardice to surrender this glorious land and its opportunities for civilization and humanity to the thugs and lynchers, the mobs and profiteers, the monopolists & gamblers who today choke its soul and steal its resources."

This is one of the most insane protests I've ever been to. Tens of thousands of Minnesotans in -20°F (-28°C) cold with absolutely manic energy. We are going to throw these goddamn bastards out of our cities.

This is a shameful move that puts both Americans and people all over the world at greater risk from disease outbreaks, which require international collaboration to contain.

A major reason for the change was specifically blatant racist, anti-Indigenous imagery.

my Blackest opinion is that the presumption of conflict between "America has a long and deeply rooted history of violence" and "we can and should fight against today's version of that, as did those who came before us" is less a philosophical debate about how to treat the past and more a skill issue
