one way you can tell that the consumer economy is totally fucked, at least for the 99 percent, is that there are barely any tv commercials for just, like, things you might want to buy. it's nearly all drugs, prescription and otherwise, and a few lingering car commercials that are all old.

The world is really bad right now. This is a silly little piece about a rave at a greenhouse. I hope you find it endearing or at least a tiny bit funny. www.coyotemedia.org/im-just-here...

Meanwhile in the South, there are still 100,000 without power from last weekend's ice storm in TN/MS.
In Mississippi, about 10,000 people were restored in the last 24 hours. At that rate, it'll be next weekend before all are restored.

It is interesting to me how many engagement farming blue wave accounts have already responded to this to disagree.
I immediately block all engagement farming accounts that enter my field of vision, btw.

Part of the reason the regime is doing extreme violence to ICE responders on camera is because it is a form of propaganda. The videos and images are intended to suppress ICE response by triggering and terrorizing responders.

This is how Tom Homan reacts to losing a court case to free a medically fragile 5-year-old who was used as bait to lure his dad so they could be imprisoned in a measles factory. Fuck any de-escalation stories that come out.
Columbia Heights (Liam's school district) cancelled school today because of a credible bomb threat at Liam's elementary and multiple ICE vehicles parking in the high school staff parking lot at 6:15am.

Ahahaha CBS just showed Johansen’s memorial card along with the others they yanked from the broadcast earlier. Someone must have complained loudly
Oh no you did NOT just turn the camera away from the screen a nanosecond after David Johansen’s name came up #Grammys

With all the *gestures around wildly* going on, I thought I’d re-up my gear recommendation for a hot protest where there’s likely to be gas deployed. This kit aims to solve two problems:
1. Stop the gas from settling on the skin of your face, head, and neck
2. Be cheap enough to throw away after
