Thursday, I spoke before #TrentonNJ City Council on why it’s nonsense to train (& fund) police more, as recommended by Dept of Justice’s report condemning Trenton #PoliceBrutality. Fund #PublicSafety experts who actually make people safe- i.e. Trenton Community Street Teams

"One of the reasons the epidemic of violence against women is so unacknowledged is because cases like these are talked about individually, and often treated as though they are shocking aberrations rather than part of a pervasive pattern that operates at all levels of society."

I recently complained/asked how to stop (there were no good answers) the Democratic fundraising texts. A friend shared this piece about what a total scam it is: "$11 million of the $678 million raised from individuals has made its way to candidates, campaigns, or the national party committees."

This is obviously abhorrent, as everything about all of this is abhorrent, but this did pop out to me because for the record it's *also* abhorrent to treat regular prisoners this way

right like I’m sure Murkowski is scared, and that’s why she caved, but what she’s scared of is political repercussions or maybe losing her cushy job. it says a lot when they act as if that fear should supersede the fear of HARM OR DEATH that their party imposes on the rest of us. they’re so fragile!
Exactly. Sick of hearing about their cowardice how “scared” they are of the cult leader’s big lying mouth. Dems have been putting up with death threats, assaults, doxing, insults, harassment, lies since the MAGA shit started in 2015. But they’re still standing. Dbag R’s make deals for themselves.

Zohran’s results so far just show how tired Americans are of the status quo, how we need creative, people-first campaigning and governance, and why positive, progressive politics are the future.
Hate to get ahead of myself before results are called but I’m so freakin happy right now.

Leftists from the USA who swoon over Sheinbaum: here's her Secretary of Security with the Israeli ambassador, after a reunion in which they talked about the Israelis training the Mexican police (which is worse that yours in many ways), as they've done for a while now. So... maybe stop swooning?

And that number is likely higher. ICE and CBP lack the records and have such flawed systems/procedures (or, one could argue that it isn’t flawed but actually operating as intended) that they don’t even know where to track or find people they’ve abducted, let alone how many they’ve deported in error.

The public was 100% ready for trans rights just a few years ago.
What we’re seeing now is a massive shift in public opinion after a coordinated and expensive propaganda blitz, one that Dems happily ignored.
Trans rights aren’t new. We had them for years and everything was cool.

I just don't get it.
The United States is doing every single step one would need to do for a soft genocide.
And this congresswoman goes "maybe the public just isn't ready for trans rights, we have to consider that"
NO.

It's the latter.

I think a lot about Disco Elysium's take on centrism. The writers are scathing in their critique of every ideology under the sun, no one spared - but none receive such venom as MORALISM. Even nationalism & fascism are treated as mostly pathetic, emasculating - centrism is the true face of terror.
![the thought cabinet for KINGDOM OF CONSCIENCE. the image in the background is art created by artist Anton Vill, in the style of Hieronymus Bosch and Eduard Wiirald, depicting a surreal blend of man, animal, and machine.
KINGDOM OF CONSICENCE
Bonuses from the thought:
Moralist dialogue options heal +1 Morale
Learning cap for Volition raised to 5
Learning cap for Logic raised to 5
PROBLEM / [SOLUTION]
The Kingdom of Conscience will be exactly as it is now. Moralists don't really *have* beliefs. Sometimes they stumble on one, like on a child's toy left on the carpet. The toy must be put away immediately. And the child reprimanded. Centrism isn't change -- not even incremental change. It is *control*. Over yourself and the world. Exercise it. Look up at the sky, at the dark shapes of Coalition airships hanging there. Ask yourself: is there something sinister in moralism? And then answer: no. God is in his heaven. Everything is normal on Earth.

Ok if someone asks you how to prep for No Kings, don't warn them about kettles and tear gas, warn them about the literal sun.
"Bring a hat, sunscreen, snacks, twice as much water as you think you need, and flag/sign of your choice. Wear comfy shoes. If your phone is old bring a battery pack."

I’ve seen a lot of hand wringing about the dangers of going to No Kings protests and gently, I want to tell people to chill a little. These are permitted marches and the point is to be out there and seen en masse. Please don’t scare off people who are maybe going to their very first protest

I don’t really have words to explain how it feels to see Kristi Noem standing on a street in East LA that looks like the street I grew up on in East LA with an invading military force trying to kidnap people who look like the neighbors I grew up with.
