law is a social construct

If I built a big robot that consumed 33% of my state's electricity so it could go around stealing people's art I would be arrested, and that's how you know law is a social construct.

It wasn't until I was at #NoKings that realized how much I needed it. I hope it was sustaining for you for the work ahead. For us there was a constant reminder to make today a start not end of the work.

Letter blown up on tent. Poster board says GAIN information & letters. GAIN is our greater area indivisible. The blown up letter is a letter to Gov Maura Healey that was at all the rallies across Massachusetts today asking her to do what she can including closing our ICE facility for multiple violations.

It's official. Nearly 7 million people. Today is the single largest day of protest in American history. Americans from all corners of the country are standing up and saying #NoKings. This is what peaceful, patriotic protest looks like.

“You can win elections by tacking to the middle; lots of people have. But you can also win elections by staking a moral position and convincing people to agree with you. You can earn support by demonstrating what is important to you instead of just being determined to nod along with what you hear.”

Yesterday I wrote about the effort by center-left pundits to police what people are passionate about.

Sincerity is not the problem

As is inevitably the case after an election — and is especially the case after an election with an unexpected result — allies of the losing presidential candidate in 2024 looked for people to blame. O...

Most times at the protest, you’re going to need to move, better to stay mobile, visible, and aware of surroundings. Anyone who tells you one tactic is the thing for every situation is not with the times. Trampling is a serious issue.

Erin Biba @erinbiba.bsky.social · 2d

Wait.

WAIT.

People are advising that if things get violent during the No Kings protest you should sit down and show the police you’re not a threat?

Are you trying to get trampled or impede other people’s ability to safely remove themselves from the situation?! Cause that’s what you’re doing!

Important: Sen Chris Murphy just sent pointed questions to Kristi Noem about DHS's account of shooting of US citizen by Trump's paramilitary forces in Chicago. The official line is imploding. Murphy wants Noem to explain why DHS misled. More like this, Ds.

New piece:

Trump’s Secret Police Shot a Citizen. Then Damning New Info Emerged.

As the official Trump administration line about the shooting of a Chicago woman crumbles, Senator Chris Murphy is asking pointed questions about what really happened here. Will we ever get answers?

NEW for @washingtonpost.com:

Pentagon reporters exited the building in unison Wednesday after turning in their badges, having refused to sign the Defense Department's press policy.

@nancyayoussef.bsky.social called it a “sad day for those who support a free press.”

Reporters leave Pentagon en masse after refusing to sign on to new rules

After turning in their press credentials, journalists covering the Defense Department walked out rather than comply with its restrictive new policies.

"This shows that if Israel, with the whole world watching, can treat a well-known, white person with a Swedish passport this way, just imagine what they do to Palestinians behind closed doors," Thunberg said to Aftonbladet.

Philip O'Connor @philipoconnor.bsky.social · 4d

Aftonbladet's interview with Greta Thunberg is now available in English - it raises many serious questions, not least about the Swedish govt. effectively abandoning its citizens to torture because it doesn't agree with their politics. A thundering disgrace.
