Best bet is to presume anyone calling for us to just move on from the Epstein files absolutely knows why they are important and they want that truth suppressed.
Last week the far right started peddling a narrative that the outrage over Epstein is a moral panic. Today, like clockwork, a more polite version of that narrative appears in the Atlantic.

It really pays to remind ourselves frequently that this whole immigration "crisis" is made up out of whole cloth. There was no emergency,danger or problem, only a demagogue stirring up racist grievances for political advantage.

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.

I love this with my whole little bubble letter heart!
Okay, so I was at this table with my friend the bubble letterer, who wrote “Free” in their PROFESSIONAL-grade bubble letters. It made someone big mad. So bubble person and I made some #popupleftistsupplydepot merch. Proceeds to MIRAC MN. Popupsupplies.printful.me

ICE have been goading the people of Minnesota with increasing acts of lawlessness. It is about giving Trump the excuse to invoke the Insurrection Act conferring total state power.
My thoughts on how Minnesota can respond with creative & determined resistance.

So, hypothetically, if you were to make a solo-cup-in-chain-link-fence message over an overpass, you’d be putting in the letters backwards. And, again hypothetically, you might want a template for that.

Hypothetically.

A quarter of a million Americans died in the European Theater in WWII, helping to establish the foundation for this alliance. Trump has damaged it irreparably in less than a year. The portion of the US electorate who put him back into office is also to blame.

Hegemonic suicide.

For @msnownews.bsky.social, I wrote an article about how ICE Watch is grounded in sociological theories of violence prevention.

The reality is that most men will only commit public violence in extremely specific scenarios and ICE Watch disrupts the conditions necessary for escalation.
Opinion | I'm a Minneapolis sociologist who studies violence. Here's how ICE observers are helping.
Research into how violence occurs shows that disapproval from the people around you can help reduce it.

Anything less than abolishing ICE is unacceptable. I don't want to hear people talk about training these motherfuckers or throwing more money at them. The entire institution needs to be permanently disbanded. Do not let politicians sell you on anything less.

Every word of this 💔
The same old sentence wrapped in different words: look what you made me do. You pushed me. You deserved it. This is your fault. It’s the logic of abuse, a kind of moral alchemy that turns cruelty into consequence and makes a woman responsible for her own pain.

The phrase “fucking bitch” is familiar to millions of women, be it at home or work.

Not uncommonly, “bitch” is the last thing a woman hears before she dies.

So many people were detained extrajudicially, were tortured, or died because of Dick Cheney. You can't get to the danger we're in now without everything he did. The weapons he helped forge are ones we need to take away from U.S. presidents forever.

If the only way to bring wallets into shops is using a car, that massively limits the numbers of wallets.
If you make it easy, safe, and pleasant for wallets to arrive at shops by foot, bike or public transit, there is no limit to the number of wallets that can access shops.
It’s not rocket science
