Hey y'all, someone I know was arrested during this protest. The protesters are predictably being treated inhumanely by the jail staff and held in solitary in many cases. Please share this around, and donate if you're able, they may be facing fed charges.

The Friend's story is so cool, and I love that we know about the Friend, and we know that the Friend didn't use any pronouns. Like, the fact we KNOW about the Friend is wild, but that we know details is even wilder!

Creatives have options when shitty people take their work and twist it. Raphael Bob-Waksberg's handling of Bojack Horseman shows it. He found out Weinstein and Mel Gibson liked the show, and created a character based on them while firing shots across the bow at them. THAT is how you do it.

It helps if your analyses of the US start with a sober assessment of what it was, has been, and is, rather than propaganda about “a leading democracy.“ It is a settler colony that has always legislated totalitarian white supremacy and misogyny; and restricted voting rights and collective bargaining.
For people asking “why isn’t there a general strike?” earnestly, and not just to be a judgmental prick
Congress passed the Taft-Hartley Act in 1947 (over Truman's veto) to make general strikes so incredibly difficult to organize that there hasn't been one since.
That there is a general strike happening in a major US city on such short notice is nothing short of a miracle.

National media should really be covering the fact thay every major school, museum, and arts institution in the Twin Cities, and hundreds of local businesses are closed tomorrow to protest federal occupation.
Nothing like this at this scale has happened anywhere in America anytime in living memory.

Thinking about the ex who, when they said they were gonna send a picture of a frog to someone DESPITE knowing that would trigger them, laughed and went "Yah I know, lol" and then called me abusive for breaking up with them later for a bunch of shit that they did along with that. Wild times.

'Why aren't they in the streets' is answered almost every day in my small town by people in the streets! Rather than asking 'why aren't they in the streets' it's worth asking 'why isn't your media showing them in the streets' and 'who is served by downplaying resistane in its myriad forms.'
The idea that there are no protests in the US and no one is standing up to Trump is proving incredibly hard to kill over here in Germany. It’s become dogma, utterly detached from empirical reality.
I wonder if the people who keep talking like that understand they’re perpetuating regime propaganda.

Hot take (not really) but the way the rest of the world tells time with the 24 hour clock is vastly superior to the US am/pm style of doing things. Winter when it's dark at 5am and pm? Boom, if it's 1700 you just took an accidental nap. Same with summer. It's just better.
