Keep in mind the people who are opposed to defunding the police want more of this

They would rather their tax money go to cops instead of efforts to fund public health initiatives and non police adjacent first responders

This is a result of anti defund efforts

Another example of why we need to replace the police with real emergency responders. People trained to provide medical care rather than pass racist judgement.

Preorder Read This When Things Fall Apart @mskellymhayes.bsky.social · 19h

They're talking about killing leftist activists. They're talking about murdering people organizing in defense of immigrant communities, doing mutual aid work, and protesting their violence. They are talking about murdering people like me and my friends. We must do more than acknowledge it's fascism.

My gosh. After the US bombed multiple boats in the middle of the ocean, murdering people on grounds that they were allegedly "carrying drugs," the US Attorney General says "Just like we did with cartels, we're going to take the same approach, President Trump, with Antifa."

No it’s not, so we need more pundits and outlets shifting from “Boy this treason is bad” to “This treason won’t stand, remove the fucking traitor.” Love the TN Holler and hope you’ll find that gear - esp as more and more reps get on board

And

In light of this, I’m gonna try to fill the gap.

I think it is important for people to understand that the UK in 2025 is more transphobic now than they were in 1394 (700 years ago) when they arrested and subsequently released Eleanor Rykener in a similar case as this one en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John/El...

Portland is leading the way. This is how you (non violently) beat Fascism. Humor and ridicule are key.

This is the best way to fight fascism. Fascists understand violence, and know how to respond to that… But they don’t understand mockery.

Like, they want to be like “Portland is a war zone,” sooo hard, but it’s just a bunch of people in inflatable frog suits, lol

A PSA: If you own a PSP, check on its battery! Mine was dangerously swollen and I wouldn't've noticed if it weren't for the fact that it was SO swollen it forced the battery cover off on its own. Crisis Averted!

Swollen PSP battery from the side, the bottom is notably not flat against the table

It's interesting seeing the different ways resistance has formed in different cities. Los Angeles Organized, Chicago Radicalized, and Portland Got Weird as Fuck. All 3 have had success unifying their respective cities.

I guess my point is there are multiple paths to ungovernability.

Whilst we're on the subject of shocking living things, did you know police departments routinely shock human beings with tasers until they die and chalk up their deaths to a fake medical condition they call "excited delirium" that was invented by taser companies to absolve themselves of liability?
