Seriously. Do not interact with the govt accounts. Just don’t.

So they're trying to farm a highlights reel of "libs/lefties are violent and evil terrorists" episode.

They're trying to piss people off so they can farm screenshots of anything that can even loosely be interpreted as a threat.

tonight is the night I became Dale Gribble and blocked the feds

The excellent James Brolin 1980 NYC crime thriller Night of the Juggler came out on Blu-ray a few months ago, and beyond the extremely sick chase sequence that makes up the first 25% of the movie, my favorite part is this NYPD Lt. learning what frozen yogurt is for the first time.

there’s quite literally no purpose in continuing to pay taxes if they’re going to weaponize them against a majority of people paying them like this

NEW: White House announces it's going to pause, and potentially cancel, $11 billion in infrastructure funding (via the Army Corps of Engineers), specifically citing cities, like New York, represented or led by Democrats. More to come.

I don't like when people lose their jobs and when institutional knowledge disappears.

That said, I'm really wondering if we're going to see a new approach on talking about, handling, and covering library censorship with new leadership at OIF. . . which is something that is so needed.

I only know Kat as a mutual friend of people I like and respect but I think she picked the best possible way to silence all the blue wave dead-enders who were calling her a carpetbagger six months ago. Solidarity forever

Cops led us into the street as the new “protest zone” and then beat us repeatedly.

Got hit in the face with a baton. Leaving to pick up my friends who were arrested.

Stay safe out there.

UPDATE: they hit capacity, they did not anticipate how big that crowd was going to be.

If you’re in Chicago for the film festival, go with a group and you’ll have a better chance to get in
