This March 1965 Herblock cartoon about police violence against civil rights activists has added relevance today.

part of this is like, conservatives projecting; part of this is conservatives unable to imagine politics without money; and part of this is dudes who are so out of touch with feminized labor that they think children's birthday parties exist as a spontaneous act of parthogenesis
I mostly just stay off Twitter altogether but after double checking that the Walter Hudson post was still up I ran across this and just had to share so the Romancelandians who bought hand warmers could hear about the PROFESSIONAL GRADE LOGISTICS.

sorry, but the Founding Fathers' original intent for the 2nd Amendment was always *just* to do school shootings

this post made me check, and yup — northern waters in duluth is on the strike list (as i knew they would be.) solidarity forever.
This is my city--my STATE--look, there's the place we always go in Duluth, there's that place where we had breakfast in Grand Marais--and we are in this TOGETHER. Oh, my Minnesota, I love you.

If ICE agents can abduct citizens carrying US passports on their person, imagine what they'll do when checking IDs at your local polling place this November. The voter suppression deployment will be unprecedented.

National media should really be covering the fact thay every major school, museum, and arts institution in the Twin Cities, and hundreds of local businesses are closed tomorrow to protest federal occupation.

Nothing like this at this scale has happened anywhere in America anytime in living memory.

Looks like Senator Blumenthal's office worked with the whistleblowers, and has already put out a letter to the Trump admin demanding answers.

Congress MUST act. This is a five alarm fire for our basic rights under the law. bsky.app/profile/blum...
I’m demanding Sec. Noem provide an explanation for this abhorrent policy & that my Republican colleagues hold hearings & join me in demanding the Trump Admin answer for this lawlessness. 6

I'm reminded of how the Russian Imperial government reacted to false rumors that they had orchestrated a massive pogrom in Moldova in 1903 by going "Wow, what if we actually *did* provide support and political cover to pogromists next time" and then doing that within ten years of the original event.
Man it’s weird how this year has already made two lefty fantasy tropes of recent history actually real

Our main armed conflict really is an imperial conquest for oil that’s genuinely unpopular, and the quasi-army men killing people in the streets is also actually unpopular
This 57% negative view of ICE is almost exact inversion of a 1970 Gallup poll: 58% blamed the students for the killlings at Kent State. Only 11% blamed the National Guard (and 31% had “no opinion”). The world is dfferent yes, but we start from a new place.www.kentguardvoices1970.com/the-shooting...

before I go to bed, I feel obliged to emphasize how tonight’s rampage in northern Minneapolis was, by no exaggeration, a glorified episode of klan night riding by federally deputized groypers. Yes, DHS always had these people but the difference now is that they’re in charge and with a $175B budget.

Listen I think in Hollywood more people need to take risks on original scripts and ideas, get more directors making more work from more writers, and stop relying so much on IP.

Except for the Rocketeer. If you need a script for a sequel, Disney? Call me. I have like eight.

I DM'd him on Facebook to tell him his name had been released, and he may want to private his socials. His response was to change his PFP to this.
