Quote from Our Mutual Friend. In 1865, two years before Das Kapital, Dickens, in his own way, grasped that the point of finance was to uncouple the accumulation of wealth, land and power by the ruling class from anything of substance in the material world.

According to four identical text messages I've received from four different phone numbers in the last 15 minutes, Alex Vindman is running for Senate in Florida. Good for him. Please stop texting me.

Not idiots but grifters - dishonest about their motives, goals, material interests and politics to suit their own malicious ends.

Sort of a bright spot: my timeline hasn't mentioned that one celeb's pathetic bid for redemption, either cause they haven't noticed, didn't give a shit or talked about it so briefly I didn't see it.
And not worth discussing because fuck that guy - it wasn't just the last 4 months, dude.

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.”
That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

On the keyboard warrior types goofy and melodramatic framing of the current protests being the same as insurgencies abroad.
In one way they are being amusingly hyperbolic, but in another most insurgencies & guerrilla wars began as regular people who wanted to live normal lives being fucked with by an intruding force until they organized out of necessity. Folkz are just finally seeing it from the side as America's victims

Funny, but hope this gets at least one particpants to rethink our antagonists in colonial wars over t 70 or so years - including Cuba - and realize they were also regular, relatable people tired of violent military assholes & willing to stand up for their neighborhoods.

"Lake Wobegon, where all the women are strong, all the men are good looking, and all the insurgents are above average"
Reaction two:
To be fair those other insurgencies also began as locals protecting themselves against a malicious occupying force using BS excuses for violence.

The casual way east coast based media whitewashes Rahm's reputation is a clear argument for why the coasts should not be home to so much major media.
"And the marquee entry on his résumé is his eight years, from 2011 to 2019, as mayor of Chicago, a city that eats politicians alive. He made mistakes and enemies. They’ll come back to haunt him."

In this specific struggle will work with all on the correct side, especially those who do so out of basic decency, knowing this does not require larger alliances or trust, but maybe they will learn to change on other things.
pretty wild statement re: Republican Chris Madel drop from race for MN governor:
"Saying he cannot support the national GOP's 'stated retribution on citizens of our state, nor can I count myself a member of a party that would do so."

These murders were done by long time ICE employees. It is weird seeing the media pretend that the murder of the opposition isn't the gestapo's mission.
“these people who we’re seeing, these federal government officers in Minneapolis, are obviously overwhelmed and poorly trained and inexperienced…”
“So when you see them on the street engaging with people, that’s a security concern right there, because they don’t know what they’re doing…”

One called it murder. Some need more information. How policing experts see the Pretti shooting.
The Border Patrol’s killing of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis has revived concerns about whether immigration enforcement officers are properly trained to deal with protesters.

Your initial post attributed Omar’s election to the “local Somali community” when, in fact, the district is less than 17% Somali. I’d encourage you to think about the assumptions your initial post relied on, and your instinct to insist that you’re right despite a significant factual error.

There are no riots. There was something that could have been a riot yesterday, but it turned into a vigil. I was driving around all Saturday and the only place not accessible was because the police blocked off part of the South Minneapolis.
