graham linehan’s latest escalation is hiring ppl to dox and harass trans women. 🤷‍♀️

jus imagine for a second that a cis man was doing this to cis women.

society says not only is it okay to do it to trans women but it’s fine to publicly crowdfund to pay for it. 😕

Let's hire a private detective!
Here's where we are: for wears, Ive been reporting a group of men to the police. They ve harassed dozens of people.
the harassment and death threats they send my way, nothing happens. When others report them, nothing happens.
But here's what does happen: the police investigate us for talking about them.
Ine grotesque nature or this colacerason would be laservano trom a oritance. Unortunatty, fi not as a ostance, and it's been going on for years.
So I've decided to do something that feets wonderfully ridiculous and also completely necessary, hire a proper private detective. Someone who actually investigates things. Novel concept, I know.
I'm deughted to say that our prece on Melody Uawion has resuited in members of his tamity ottung m touch. And that s what we can do without a private detective. Think what will happen if we get professionals on the case.
Picture it: a licensed imestigater with a proper case file, following leads from Sussex to Capetown, gathering evidence the authorities keco oretendina doesn't exist. Well comale everything, oresent & to indroundent abservers and every maic)
outlet we can find.
What Your Money Gets
• A licensed investigator who actually does the job
• Document searches, survellance, evidence gathering
• Property documented findings that can be used legally or journalistically
Iknow vou're sick of the Cancel Tax. I'm sick ct it too. But ths onels dicent. This one micht oroduce results that and
decoly satistving no matter where you are in the foht. The l& detective work. And when tis done, we'll have something
Why It Costs What It Costs
The goal looks high because this isn't some bloke following someone to Tesco. This is a proper irvestigation spanning multiple juriscictions. Were not just atter a few bad actors. We want to out all of them.
Every donation puts us closer to exposing something the authorities have worked very

I actually get why, given the current US climate, Ubisoft was not ready to pull the trigger on a Civil War era Assassins Creed game.

But speaking personally I would preorder the deluxe edition of a game that let me knife Klansmen and had a "burn your way to the sea" mini game.

People need to stop the thinking that’s like “well when things get back to normal we’ll do this.” Remember how we said that about COVID years ago & we’re still in a pandemic? The United States is not coming back to glory & that shouldn’t be the goal. But WE can try to survive if we get together.

For decades lawmakers have funded and outfitted cops with military gear who are trained to unload on anyone for any reason they see fit, and now getting indiscriminately beaten and arrested by them is apparently the only defense from the actual military doing worse.

Dave Byrnes @djbyrnes1.bsky.social · 9h

Telling the federal court that IL police can handle Broadview was part of the state's legal strategy against national guard being deployed here.

But it's hard to square that as for the good of protestors or Illinoisans as a whole, when IL police are perfectly willing to drag and beat them anyway.

Allowing fascists to control the narrative and continually shift the Overton window by saying "no we want to fund the cops MORE than you, we'll give ICE even MORE money, etc" to appease them and try to win them over helped land us here. They enjoy watching people get brutalized on the news.

Like, sorry to folks who believe you should never criticize a politician you think does some good sometimes, but if they're in charge of the guys wearing brown shirts clubbing people with giant wooden bats and they're not putting a stop to it, they're doing something wrong.

I want to add this, because if you haven't been in this situation, maybe you don't know. When a cop in riot gear is shoving you and yelling "GET BACK," there's usually nowhere to actually get back to, because there's a crowd of people behind you and you literally can't move at the pace they want.

What they say while assaulting people is specifically designed to give them immunity (despite already having qualified immunity!) from their actions. The ISP is basically yelling "stop punching yourself" while attacking peaceful protesters.

CEOs are now recommending to Trump where to send the national guard next. Kind of makes me think this whole authoritarian thing is cover for the same class war that's been happening in America forever.

Silicon Valley tech boss Marc Benioff says he's all for Trump sending troops to San Francisco since 'we don't have enough cops' | Fortune

“We don’t have enough cops, so if they can be cops, I’m all for it,” Benioff told The New York Times on Friday.

Of course according to liberals. Everything was prachy keen sunshine and rainbows. We had justice and a constitution. All along. Despite all of history it all started with trump. With him gone. They all can go to sleep knowing only their problems are over. Sickening.

ofc part of this fear could in fact be that they know communism would be successful in eliminating the institutional evils of this country, and i suspect pritzker feels threatened by that proposition as a billionaire. either direction he moves he will be a traitor in part

One great aspect of iconic inflatable costumes (aside from how they instantly undermine propaganda about war zones) is that it's useless to arrest the person wearing one. Cuffing a frog would make law enforcement look pathetic. And carting one off just guarantees that more will show up the next day.
