🧵Shock Doctrine is a social control strategy that uses recurrent shocks to make people feel overwhelmed & easier to conquer. To inflict suffering, push us into submission, or prompt us to rise up against our oppression in a way the fascist regime can use as an excuse to institute martial law.

That is something I had not even thought of.

How gorgeous! So much good art is going to come out of this. It reminds me of your beautifully organized garage.

What is something that brought you Joy today?

It's been gently raining for a couple of days and my garden looks so perky and happy. A spray from a garden hose pales in comparison to lots of nitrogen-filled water falling from the sky.

Three days after a judge prohibited using tear gas on protestors in Chicago, ICE tried to grab a guy leaving a Lutheran church and as people from the church started filming, ICE tear gassed them all. It's on film and just happened.

But no republican donors are donating to him. They're done with him for outing republican orgies.

YES! This poor woman was very brave and selfless and she's been slandered by powerful people but she is the one on the right side of history. I wish I could bake her a lasagna to show my appreciation for all she's done and how much it cost her.

Chicago not letting Portland have all the fun 🐧

That is completely right! It's horrible. And some PR teams have set up this system of pretending that all palm oil in the world comes through a new and small forest in Nigeria, which is physically impossible. It's like they do with blood diamonds.

This picture got both of these kittens adopted. Taking picture from below and looking up can create some really good shots.

Girls in The Windows-Ormond Gigli
"In 1960, while a construction crew dismantled a row of brownstones across from my own brownstone studio on East 58th St I was inspired to, somehow immortalize those buildings. I had a vision of 43 women in formal dress adorning the windows of the skeletal facade."

Bwahahahaha! When that kitten cleans itself, it's going to be ingesting so much slobber.

That breaks my heart! It should be illegal.

A Chicago pastor recalls being shot seven times with pepper balls by federal agents outside the ICE facility in Broadview, Illinois.

Turnout at the Texas State Fair is dismal.
The state's giving away free WEEKEND tickets.
The govt shutdown, unemployment, $24 turkey legs/$18 lemonade...
Inflated prices because this fair charges vendors $5,000 up front and 50% of what they make
But hey, No Lines!

Mass transit saves animals, reduces climate change and reduces noise pollution. It also makes it so people don't have to have cars so it saves people money.

They actually have transferred at least one inmate to a higher security prison as punishment already!
