98 out of 435 House districts have a Partisan Voting Index between R+5 and D+5. Another 90 are +6 to +10. My math says you'd have to roughly double ICE and CBP's current combined headcount to send *one* goon to each polling place in each of those 188 districts.

Retweeting this again, because I cannot overemphasize HOW IMPORTANT THIS IS.
And how many MORE people signed up after each murder.
I can't remember who around here said that they had learned something new in 2026, which was that it turns out there is something they are willing to die for.
That.

I think one thing people outside Minnesota don't understand is that after Good and Pretti were killed by feds while observing, the most normal people you could imagine have made peace with the fact that they could be next, and they are still out there because they say it's the right thing to do.
“If I am killed doing this, throw my body at the White House, martyr the shit out of me & raise hell. Do not be sad. Do not think I would do anything differently. I would do it over & over again — this is too important to sit down & shut up and not do anything.” www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

I've told this story on ContrabandCamp but it's worth sharing for BHM because it's one of the greatest stories ever.

the clinic defense org I was part of in a previous life nearly imploded when a clique of old-timers refused to acknowledge that a trusted member had flipped to the antichoice side - and then that clique hanged the clinic we escorted at out to dry to get blockaded.
The successful nonviolence and civil rights movements of the past, as I’ve gathered from reading about them, ALSO featured a shit ton of incessant petty drama and in-fighting.
But crucially, they didn’t have social media - so this was kept far more private.

It's always wild to me that Republicans will straight up tell you they want to murder you in the street and someone will insist that they can be reasoned with
University of Illinois college republicans advocate for executing protesters as “traitors” with art that takes a disturbing killing and makes it even more extreme.

This absolute banger of a comment: "You can tell it's an anti-trans study because it's a study about trans people that's actually still funded"
If you see this, don't participate. It's a rigged study by Lisa Littman and unethical researcher J. Michael Bailey meant to undermine access to care. Spread the word.

The killing of Alex Pretti and the grotesque lying was an overreach by the administration. They've paid a price and had to pull back a bit. But it's when there's some disarray that the democratic opposition needs to intensify the offensive, and turn a marginal tactical success into a major victory.

a couple of fried eggs over baby arugula or baby spinach, with tarragon vinegar, freshly cracked pepper, and a sprinkle of something salty has become my breakfast of choice lately.

Saw something interesting yesterday: a Waymo making a right on red, like a person.
The intersection is a big one: two through lanes, two left-only lanes, one right-only lane in each direction.
The Waymo arrived just as the oncoming green arrow for left turned on.

don't fuck around when it comes to tourniquets or other life-saving equipment; buy the proven shit.
Do not under any circumstances use a non-CoTCCC approved tourniquet on a GSW. CAT Gen 7s are $30-$35, readily available, and are proven to work on massive hemorrhages. 3D-printed slop that has not been approved by any regulatory body will get somebody killed.

1. Stop scrolling.
2. Donate $25 to DMDM to fund a tourniquet for the North Star Health Collective in Minneapolis.
3. ???
4. You've saved a community observers life.
These 3D printed designs are FDA approved and 2x cheaper than alternatives.
