Cville local. Overeducated carpenter. Fascists eat shit, liberation for the rest. The future's looking rough, but hope is our duty.

not sure a bio thing’s always necessary or even wise but I’m bored so here’s a summary of already shared info. I’m a staff carpenter at large institution; have a BA in philosophy and MS in a healthcare adjacent field but that didn’t work out so I rebuild Jeffersonian roofs and renovate offices now.
as promised, the whine tax

ok this is definitely my least favorite winter storm since I’ve been on snow duty. 2016 was a rough few days, but at least that was regular snow and not nearly so goddamn cold.

We still don't know the names of the ICE agents who killed Gonzàlez behind the wheel of his car outside Chicago in September.

They were unmasked in this BWC footage from Franklin Park police.

If you have any information at all about these men—please text us on Signal at unraveled.66

they should go away, if they actually understand how terrible this is they will understand how wrong they have been and the role they played and they will go away and get a job filling out spreadsheets or something, anything but getting paid to give their opinions
They just figured it out.

I guess we’re officially at the point where safehouses need to be a thing.

The NRA is a gun rights organization the way the Ku Klux Klan is a speech rights organization.

gearing up to head out into the great white yonder. don’t look too bad yet, few inches maybe—getting home after a 12 hour shift is gonna be the hard part. debating throwing the chainsaw in the back in case a tree comes down when it switches to ice 🙃

Saying there must be trials isn't just an emotive aspiration.

Congress can:
- Create a new court (complying w/ 6A jury vicinage)
- Give it jurisdiction over defined category of crimes
- Also create dedicated prosecutors for the same
- Strip SCOTUS of appellate jurisdiction

It can be done.

Part of the reason the ICE shootings get in a lot of gun owners' craw, even if you look past the obvious 'this could have been us' aspect, is that these shootings violate the basic rules of firearm safety that (rightly) get drilled into responsible gun owners' heads.

this reminds me of the way i’ve seen susan bro speak about her daughter, heather heyer. when a fascist murders your child, you aren’t allowed to just grieve. you have to defend their memory, even their very grave.
Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti.

"Please get the truth out about our son."

an administration staffed to the top with degenerate liars
Noem lies shamelessly: "An individual approached order Patrol officers with a 9mm semi-automatic gun. The officers attempted to disarm this individual, but the armed suspect reacted violently. This looks like a situation where an individual arrived to inflict maximum damage and kill law enforcement"

"The armed suspect reacted violently."

An outright, barefaced and monstrous lie, conclusively disproven by irrefutable video evidence.

I'm seeing people mistakenly claim the gun photo was posted before today, but its just how Google sometimes dates images based on the original date of the thread its posted in, not when it was posted. The photo was posted an hour ago in this 5 day old thread

Yesterday, thousands of people in MN and across the country chose resistance —however small it may seem in relation to another life lost—and their actions still carry weight. Even in the face of brutality, we don’t give up, we don't allow despair and anger to take away our power nor our humanity.
It’s -9 degrees. Downtown Minneapolis is packed for the anti-ICE rally and the crowd keeps growing

One thing I will say, as a non-reactionary believer in gun rights, the idea you can be executed just for carrying a gun (with a permit no less) is the exact thing gun rights people have been railing on for years.

There is a fomenting lurch largely missed by the kinds of people on here.
