THE FINGER-TAKER’S SON
Whenever the king became displeased with one of his subjects, he would send out his soldiers, and before long the offender would find themselves in the basement of the king’s finger-taker.
The finger-taker claimed to be a persuadable man.

don’t talk to cops, don’t give your phone to cops, don’t let cops in your house, basically minimize any interactions with cops that aren’t mandated by law

Insane amounts of gas used tonight. I don’t think the mask I wore had a proper seal so had to walk away. A few medics who helped me and other people were saying it was getting thru their full face masks as well.

Democracies are so strong that they allow people to criticize democracy. In fact, the ability to do so is an essential quality of democracy. Authoritarians are so weak they don't allow people to criticize authoritarians. Silencing dissent is an essential quality of authoritarian regimes.

Congressional Republicans unveiled their new “MEGA Act” bill, which could:
❌Impose strict voter ID requirements to vote
❌Create a centralized voter surveillance system in every state
❌Ban universal mail voting
❌And much more
The kicker? These changes would happen all at once.

Let me reiterate: THEY DO NOT HAVE ENOUGH GUYS TO PERSECUTE LARGE NUMBERS OF DISSENTERS. What they are doing, instead, is using fear and paranoia as a force multiplier: they don’t have to persecute us if we keep ourselves home because someone told us we can’t walk in public without being terrified.
