informal q for Americans: how much were you taught about the moral failings of America in school? Where/when? Public or private?
I went to public school in NY suburbs and we did a whole unit on WWII internment camps in 7th grade. I graduated in 2007. I remember being assigned a Zinn book in HS too.

I cant even imagine caring what someone else wears in public.
Duffy: "I can't mandate you dress up, but don't wear pajamas & slippers to the airport. If you dress a little better you behave a little better. We're all getting into tight airline seats. The prices go down when we do that. But I want people to be well behaved & Ia little better dressed would help"

This is such a dumb gripe with everything else going on, but its such bullshit that Netflix does this when you google "(movie title) streaming." Netflix does not have any of these movies in the US!
What if someone subscribed just based on that Google result?

He goes on to describe one of his officers being stopped when she was off-duty solely because she's non-white, harassed by ICE goons who slapped her phone out of her hand as she tried to record, only to be let go when she finally revealed she was a cop.
Brooklyn Park police chief Mark Bruley: "We're hearing people being stopped with no cause & being demanded to show paperwork to determine if they're here legally. We started hearing from our police officers the same complaints. Every one of these individuals is a person of color... it has to stop"

you know this guy is a FOR REAL photographer because he's telling the story of his brutal, unconditional arrest by federal goons and can't help but slip in a gear review
Photo by Pierre Lavie. Yes this is me. And I threw my Leica. It landed on the bass plate with hardly a scratch. Another Photographer grabbed it along with my phone and I was able to track him later. I was held face down tear gas deployed right in front of me and pepper sprayed directly into the eye.

this crystallizes why, despite truly heroic solidarity and activism, i can’t quite get in the “we’re going to win” mindset right now. the harm is so active and there’s so much violence we don’t even know about. people are being turned into ghosts.

I am not quite as well-read here, and my instinct is to say the comparison is considerably different - global markets weren't linked in the same way, Asia (and by extension its markets) is COMPLETELY different today than it was then.

*Regardless* of whether the officer felt threatened by the car, once she's shot she needs medical attention ASAP *no matter if she's a criminal or not*
And they straight up stopped a doctor *and* an ambulance from treating her. Beyond evil

holy fuck.
Renee Nicole Good had an irregular pulse when EMS got to her.
She was still alive.
There was a doctor on scene who wanted to render aid.
ICE refused. Told him they “didn’t care” that he was a physician.
Timely CPR saves lives.
This was all so unnecessary.

What could go wrong? The government paid Palantir to create a program called ELITE to give people deportation scores.
This is the Palantir’s CEO Alex Karp talking about when it’s “necessary to scare enemies & on occasion kill them.”
This program is currently being used in Minneapolis.
