Our city has decided to cut every other service to give these guys 50 million more dollars a year to beat up people half their size and arrest people without cause.
My friend @harshawalia.bsky.social was arrested and charged, and another protester was brutalized today in Vancouver at a protest targeting Apple for profiting from death and exploitation in its supply chain. The protesters also called out Apple's support of Friends of the IDF.

This is the behavior of a class that knows no legal institution or government will stop them.
An update on that insane lease term where the landlord owns everything you create during the tenancy:

If we don't do something they can easily leverage, they'll make something up, lie and say we did, or weaponize something that has nothing to do with us. That's why the respectability policing—and thinking that if everyone moves and talks just so, they won't be able to escalate—is magical thinking.

We really need to talk about the warring definitions of "political violence"
There are things that I consider to be political violence that are widely accepted, so posts like this make little sense.
If by political violence, you mean hurting republicans is bad, then sure, we've had that consensus

It's worth mourning the end of a 40ish-year-long broad American consensus that political violence is a bad thing, one that leads to lots of innocent people getting hurt and killed. We've been watching that consensus erode consistently since 2016 at the latest and now it's fully gone.

your children and grand children and their children too are going to suffer and when they ask you why and how it happened you're going to have to either lie to them, or explain that you burned their future to the ground because you didn't like trans people and you worshiped the rich.

These things are consumed by your landlord, employer and government.

If your boss shorts your paycheque and you call the police they'll tell you its a civil matter and to take it up with small claims court.
If you take the difference out of the till your boss will have the police take you away in handcuffs.
Police exist to protect wealth, not you.

The way we talk about agribusiness in Canada is similar.
Sitting on a tractor watching workers plant and harvest = farming
Guy who owns the land and lives in a giant house by the gate = farmer
Actually getting in the dirt planting and harvesting = disposable labour, not worth mentioning.

This is more or less the best career path young people in UK agriculture have to look forward to. "If you get really lucky, a nice wealthy landowner might let you run their estate for them!"
And they wonder why UK agriculture is in tatters & young people don't want anything to do with it.

The financial and business press assisted a massive pump and dump scam that took advantage of gullible greedy lazy people's desire to undervalue the labour of people who work and think.
The people who undertook this con will be richer than kings.
I'm right to hate AI, but will stay broke.

Instead of fighting back against the authoritarian takeover here at home, 22 House “Democrats” were being spoon-fed lies about Gaza on a trip paid for by AIPAC.
