Wisdom from Tressie McMillan Cottom and Judith Butler. I am guilty of trying to convince others of how bad things are, but totally agree that focusing on connecting and creating is a better use of my time.

Grok's 'spicy mode' making pictures with kids is horrifying | Opinion
You'd think that, as CEO and someone with a connection to one of the victims of this abuse, Elon Musk would take a firm stance against these images.

Its not that the media is not covering what is happening, but it does feel like the military occupation of an American city should be treated as a national crisis.
A video of ICE agents conducting door-to-door searches today in Minneapolis
The homeowner requests a warrant repeatedly, is told they don't require one, then is told they're getting it, then the agents storm in anyway
They also point a taser at her to try and disrupt filming

Yesterday, the President summoned oil titans to the White House to discuss selling off Venezuelan oil. The WH says Trump is already selling the oil, using foreign accounts, and would do so “indefinitely”—authorities he does not have. So, we are investigating!

They are hoping we won’t do the extremely simple math

Remembering today that having your heart broken is a necessary step on the path to becoming fully human. Whichever heartbreak is your first, it’s probably critical that a state break your heart so that you can develop a political imagination. If this is your first, I’m sorry and also welcome.

So, don't let all these folks pontificating about the exact direction of the vehicle and where the cops were and whatever "aggressive" moves she was making fool you: ICE pointed firearms at her, screamed a bunch of conflicting directions, and shot her dead. All in the space of a few seconds.

One of the things the defense did during the Rodney King trial in 1991 is go over the video of his beating several times with a police "expert"; pausing and advancing by frames and explaining every movement King did that was "wrong"/"aggressive". You're seeing that now with the video of Renee Good.
