If you followed me and want me to follow back pls say hi or interact so I know you're a person. Otherwise I'm trying to go through my followers and following anarchists first but it's a lot and I'm short on 🥄 I'm hoping to build a good faith community here that's interested in cooperative survival 🖤

Good people need to start outing their ICE family members, neighbors, and community members.

They need to be made into pariahs in the places decent Americans gather.

ICE is an extension of all of the worst moral consequences of our deeply immoral carceral punishment system.

Destroy ICE. Abolish prisons. Disband the police.

After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation

Whiffin was there to say that the data Cellebrite provided was inaccurate and therefore likely clearing the actual killers of the victim. At the end of the video they go as far as to pretend Karen Read herself endorses their expertise. They're playing with fire making these videos

Cellebrite, an Israel company, known for their phone extraction software used by law enforcement all over this country and relied on for prosecuting criminal cases, put out this 2 video fluffer "interview" of their employee Ian Whiffin after he gave ridiculous testimony in the murder trial of Karen

Governor you need to get your state police under control because their behavior is not matching your words or intent. If you're going to let them just do whatever they want and defy your orders you're creating an environment where police answer to republicans only.

Police and iCE are illegally clearing protesters in Chicago right now. Don Lemon is there in the protest reporting. Good for him. It looks like law enforcement is about to brawl and start hurting people.

feckless they are and we at least scared them one time enough that they're still chasing an amorphous antifa 👻. We're not going to make it to the midterms and "peaceful" or legislative and electoral solutions at this late time are unlikely. Hope the snobbery and ignorance makes them feel better 💅

Consider that we now live in a literal dark age. With billionaires relentlessly rotting the internet, there will soon be fewer historical records of this era than there are from basically any other time.

All of this will be forgotten, a corrupted few bits in an ocean of spam in a landfill.

Already they don't have the resources or the time to prosecute e everyone they want to and that is in normal time. A lot of our system runs only because of cooperation from the public.

KLo @klogoldman.bsky.social · 19h

I disagree slightly. The rule of law is already seriously eroded and the current trajectory is unsustainable. It's only functioning right now because cops are still getting paid and they believe they're a higher class. It's almost on autopilot. They will have to choose their own survival eventually

I woke up this am and the first thing I read was Canadian telling me to "just fix the problem" the problem being trump 😑 and then I watched this video and this dynamic exists in my family. It's just something we don't have a playbook for, but the comment from the CA was really mean vexed me all day

Do you have any thoughts on how much longer the theater of rule of law will continue to function in the sense that fighting back is still illegal right now and the human infrastructure will still enforce the law on us if we try? What are the markers we should be looking for?

Neil liberalism could never stop fascism so instead it intended to stop those pointing out that fascism was bad and are trying to create their own friendly face for fascism brutality.

Americans need to accept the truth of the moment we find ourselves in the Republicans are fascist domestic threats

It’s absolutely wild that we just spent the last four months, watching as the loudest people both on social media and in traditional media scream that anyone pointing out the social construction of law in American democracy was unable to hold up to the weight of American fascism was just a “doomer”
