I don't know how to convey to people that POLICING in the US is experienced by countless Black and brown people in the way that ICE is currently acting towards people.

i didn't even know she had a wife until today, let alone that she was literally in the same car at the time. what the hell
this is in no way the point, but as a lesbian, it is harrowing to read so many articles about Renee Good that name drop her late husband before her WIFE who was literally in the car when she was murdered

They don't have capacity to terrorize more than 2-3 cities at a time.
Which means they rotate teams to new cities without relief.
Which means consistent resistance by fresh activists in each new city will break them over time.
Which means if you're city's not occupied, rest up and get ready.

the purpose of every "attempted to ram" justification is not to convince, but to get everyone to spend days arguing over the victim's behavior and accepting the premise that such a shooting *could* be justified, instead of accepting the obvious truth that leads to police stations getting set on fire
🧵In my expert opinion as a researcher of vehicle ramming attacks, what has been publicly described in the video evidence does not support the claim that Renee Nicole Good was attempting a deliberate ramming attack when she was shot in Minneapolis on January 7, 2026. 1/7

this is actually where the phrase "you just pulled that out of your ass" comes from
Not many people know this but Charles Dickens invented what he named "the prosthetic posterior," a 40lb mass of wood and horsehair and such intended for men to wear while out fox hunting.
The idea was it was basically a padded chair you'd wear, you could just sit down on the moor for a smoke

the main reasons i have not made the switch myself yet:
1) it doesn't (or didn't, maybe it does now) work well on my phone
2) a lot of my chronic illness community stayed bc they didn't have the energy to move and start over
3) a strong sense of moral judgement from many ppl who switched early

But bravery is contagious.
There are people who think "maybe I should do something" who will look left and will look right, and if they don't see people doing things, they'll sit back down.
Make sure that they see people doing things.

We tried body cameras, and we evaluated them, and boy oh boy was Critical Resistance ever right about that! Turns out they just gave cops a bunch of free surveillance tech and boosted Axon's market cap while failing to make a dent in police violence.

conscientious cdc workers need to start leaking shit
Just spoke with my CDC sources. They were in tears.
Budgets cut. RFJK has ordered them not to publicize bird flu symptoms in exposed workers. Not to test them. Not to speak.
They know people are getting sick. And they’re being forced to stay silent.
This is not just a cover-up. It's cruelty.

What I do feel confident saying is this: The longer it stays down, the less likely it will ever be the same again. The website may return someday but this hack was either a fatal blow or a life-altering one.

the problem is, the focus on due process is not "people shouldn't be grabbed off the street and put in a foreign gulag forever", it's "that should only happen to those who we've means tested!"
If you think you can't make a political issue out of "people shouldn't be grabbed off the street and put in a foreign gulag forever," maybe consider getting out of politics/punditry. And these aren't technical slogans: they appear in the Declaration of Independence and in the Constitution (twice).

Nobody involved in social movements / direct action / social work / legal aid ever uses the word “felon” as a pejorative. This is a fundamental disconnect between moderates who love to dunk on Trump and those who work and organize every day on the front lines of injustice.
