We need to shut down the word "performative" until we can figure out what the hell is going on. Of course adopting symbols of protest and resistance is performative! Performance is a core strategy for mass movements!! That's why the call them demonstrations!!!
"In response to criticisms she's heard about the hat being 'performative,' Mashaal, the shop owner, said the thousands of dollars that have gone toward supporting their community speaks for itself."
A Minneapolis knitting shop has resurrected the design of a Norwegian cap worn to protest Nazi occupation. Its owner says the money raised from hat pattern sales will support the local immigrant community. n.pr/4thWiUr

The Epstein emails should really end the debate over whether society should have billionaires. "Do you want there to be a class of people so powerful they can fuck your kids and no one will even try to do anything" seems like an easy sell if everyone in politics wasn't trying to get on their payroll

So here for total noam chomsky destruction
On August 12, 2017, Heather Heyer was killed by a neo-Nazi in Charlottesville.
On August 17, 2017, Noam Chomsky told the Washington Examiner that antifa was “a gift to the far right”.
In between those dates he met with Jeffrey Epstein in Tuscon.

Merrick’s gotta get strung up with the rest of them if you ask me
The thing that shocks me most is that all of this incriminating stuff was sitting at the DOJ for 4 years and Biden & Garland were not cynical or ruthless enough to use it against Trump & Musk in the run up to 2024.
If only they were the evil ‘weaponizers of government’ that MAGA claimed they were!

the practical effect of arresting lemon et al is to spark widespread condemnation, especially since these arrests will certainly be thrown out. this doesn't mean the action isn't a dangerous escalation, it does mean the white house doesn't know what to do but spam its only attack

the arrest of journalists in minneapolis, including don lemon, is more evidence that the only move the administration knows how to make is to use force, and does not know how to respond when that force is met with defiance and indifference.

there is a specific tic in the way that centrist Dems address law enforcement:
they don’t understand that the interaction with police *is* the harm. they think a show your papers situation is neutral as long as you leave walking, but police interaction is itself traumatic. It’s terrifying.

so destructive scanning is not related to fair use at all. The idea is that because it does not create a *copy* it does not require a right to copy. That's not related to fair use, which is only about things that involve copies
