She’s someone’s friend, daughter, sister, partner, neighbor, co-worker.
I’m angry at the people doing this. I’m angry at the people who ignore it because they think it doesn’t impact them directly.
What the fuck are we doing?
It’s definitely just lip service. Chief Barnes has been particularly lenient, giving discipline at the lowest end of the spectrum in most cases.
Since anarchists are going to be heavily targeted by the fascists (again 😉) I want to TRY to garner a bit of curiosity from folks about anarchism. What is it? Where did it come from? What does it mean? Is it communism? Is it the same as Marxism/Leninism?
Why do fascists HATE anarchists so much?
There has been a normalization of these Christian fascists. Americans now see these groups and brush it aside. That is dangerous. They are allowed to form orgs and behave as if what they are doing is normal. It isn’t. It’s fascism. It’s AMERICAN fascism. After all, the KKK were also “Christians”.

The Left has to fundamentally explain to millions of people that the rank-n-file of the Republican party is being systematically staffed by literal neo-Nazis.
A new ordinance would not only create more signs, but also allow the City Attorney’s Office to prosecute any staging or enforcement activities. But our undocumented residents state these actions aren’t enough and demand direct aid to impacted communities. There are also a few more caveats at play.
We aren’t angry enough
Yesterday, shortly after his conversation with Putin, Trump stated that the United States would lift part of the sanctions on Russia’s oil sector and on several other countries until the crisis is resolved.
He added that the sanctions might not need to be reintroduced afterward.
The officer who killed Ruben Ray Martinez has been identified as Homeland Security Investigations agent Jack Stevens.
A deep dive into a pro-Russia outlet run by a German far-right figure led reporters to a remote Bulgarian village and the offices of the state security service in Moscow.

Ok I decided to pull the video.
While most major banks have cut ties with CoreCivic and The GEO Group, Citizens continues to keep the money flowing to the companies, which are holding more than half of the 70,000 people currently in ICE detention centers across the country.
Sign the petition to tell Citizens enough is enough.
You all just accept things as the status quo. You’ve normalized corruption. Probably because it is human nature to do so. Especially with as much as it has been deliberately normalized by the people doing the corruption.
Nobody told me AIPAC BAD. See, I don’t have Google. But I do have other browsers. I used it to go look into WHO is giving AIPAC that money that they then donate to politicians. I feel like that’s a logical step to take. But many haven’t. Many (such as yourself) have stopped asking questions.

An Iranian drone targeted the high-rise 'Era tower' in Manama, Bahrain. They destroyed at least two floors, it is used as a residential building; the motive or target of the strike is unclear.
BREAKING: Trump Just Did It
open.substack.com/pub/americam...
The morally bankrupt Trump administration has partnered with another morally bankrupt authoritarian to declare an unprovoked war on Iran, already killing scores of civilians.
We need an immediate vote from Congress on a War Powers Resolution. Then articles of impeachment.
And that is not even all of them. I could go on and on. AIPAC is literally funded by evil billionaires.
“When we are up against evil billionaires- who cares where we get campaign money from as long as it’s legal”
I mean…it’s coming from the evil billionaires.
I care. You should as well.
Critical thinking skills:
We are up against corrupt billionaires.
Who do we think donates to AIPAC? The money comes from somewhere. Right? It doesn’t magically appear out of nowhere.
Let’s see who donates money to AIPAC, so that it can then be donated to politicians. 🧵
David Ellison will soon control CNN. In response, I wrote to Democracy Docket subscribers today about the importance and urgency of building a strong independent media ecosystem.

NEW: Guards have taken away crayons, colored pencils & paper during recent room searches at Dilley, according to detainees and others. After one inspection, the children just “cried and cried and cried,” a mother said. The facility denies the claims.

Five corporations control 90% of the US media market.
Airlines merged from 12 major carriers in 1980 to 4 today.
Four giants control 80% of meat processing.
The evidence of corporate consolidation is everywhere.
It means more power for them and less freedom for you.
