Fiercely defending the Resistance from my couch. Data geek with pulmonary disease. Chaotic tired. My kids don't think I'm funny but they're wrong.

Read books in between doomscrolling.

Make stuff & then give it away.

Watch shit that makes you laugh.

Protect your neighbors.

Do things that make evil people sad.

Stay alive.

People never stop looking for heroes in the wrong places and it’s so fucking frustrating.

Heavy machinery in the driveway now doing something with the barricades, unsure what.

"Hey, that's my freedom zone!" someone shouts.

Or ISP trying to “prove” NG isn’t “needed.”

Fucking hellballs. I was just worrying about that in another thread.

(I mean, “worrying” makes it sound like I thought maybe you guys didn’t bring warm enough sweaters, but I don’t what verb conveys “I’m sorry there’s still nothing between you and the wall of untouchable state violence”)

Leftsplaining is a bsky blight.

Every time I mention that there are in fact anti-fascist vets & there are active duty service members who don’t want to do this but can’t quit like ICE can & don’t have 1A rights I get 16 links to the Wikipedia page re: Kent State & a 101 lecture about colonialism.

Is this an exaggerated response to “prove” there’s no justification for the Guard being there? (I mean, ACAB, I know, I just wonder if this is part of it.)

Oh, it came up directly in the hearing! (And yeah, totally real. Rev. David Black; you can find a ton of stories about it.)

Plaintitff attys concede this language will cause hesitancy in the govt and among federal agents, but say this is a good thing.

"We would like them to hesitate before shooting priests and journalists," plaintiff atty says.

I have a trans kid and I grew up on food stamps. None of this is abstract for me. I want us all to survive. I don’t have to agree with you on everything to want that; that’s some Stephen Miller bullshit. Fuck that noise.

Boston regrets to inform you that this is patently untrue in the American League.

ok, you circled back to regurgitated meta-theory instead of relevant current conditions and i'm bored. good night!

The Guard isn't a monolith. That's my point. Not like ICE. Some are racist violent assholes. Some signed up bc it's the only way to go to college & yr usually only called up for hurricanes. It's a huge spectrum; the idea that they all have the same intent & will all act the same is just nonsensical.

I have no idea what "lib-pilled" means. I DO know more about why working class ppl enlist in the military than you do, and I know that ppl who like power trips & shooting ppl become cops & feds, not Guard. Right now you are thinking macro theory. I am thinking those dudes are not making rent.

You cannot say that because there are Latine people in ICE/DHS willing to fuck over immigrants, that means that Latine people in the Guard will. That is NOT the same thing.

I said nothing about ICE. I have no idea who signs up for that shit & why, but they know what they're signing up for. They know what that job is.

I'm saying that people who enlist in the National Guard are not signing up to be part of ERO. They're not even supposed to be deployed against civilians.

So once the internet exploded & we could not only read each other's stories but share history & make connections & dispel myths, it became vital that "being brave" wasn't the best thing anymore bc that was great when it was Before, but maybe not so awesome now? Now, let's Make Future Stuff! etc.

Based on nothing but several decades of my own observations & a chart I just pulled out of my ass, it's always seemed to me that the ppl who get airtime are the ones who don't threaten status quo *in a negative way*. They can be edgy, but they edge in the right direction for who's in charge.

Now with #AltText

A black background has white text at the top that says “amphifa.” Two flags over each other, common antifa flags, have a black flag and a green one. An image of a green frog facing left with a blue ascot sits on the black flag. Circling the flags is the text, “amphibians against fascism.”

Screenshot of the bottom part of the post from Xitter that Chris's thread is about. Overlaid in giant obnoxious pink font are the words "IT'S OVER..." and then pink arrows point to all of the numbers at the bottom showing the view count, number of comments, retweets, etc. It's a bit of a long way to go for a bad joke but in my defense it's extremely shoddily done.

Think of it this way: if Admin were certain they had the military behind them, they would not have made creating their own $350B private army their #1 priority. Also, 1 in 10 active duty service members is an immigrant or the kid of an immigrant, and no one enlists to be la migra. No one.

Nah, man. Epic play. For him to accept that credit, he has to publicly acknowledge that she's the legit winner of the prize. If he says fraud/lies/fake win, he's only been dedicated a fradulent fake win. Plus it trolls Maduro to hell and back. I laughed out loud.

I think you mean a hollow shell about to be filled with one appetizer and two entrees for a reasonable price, thank you very much.
