I noticed the New York Times omitted the “fucking bitch” line from their story on yesterday’s video. Normalized misogyny, as @milleridriss.bsky.social argues in her book Man Up, smooths the path toward violence.
We know just about everything we need to know by the last two words issued by the agent-or by a man nearby- on his cellphone video: “Fucking bitch.”

There was a time I believed the courts would help us. I no longer have faith in any court or party or institution. But who I am cannot be taken by any law or policy, I will live and die this person, and will outlive the ignorance and the fear. I am the future and the future will judge me, and them.

Looks like the #Meshcore repeater I put up last week above #Boise is linking our mesh with the #Seattle mesh, 386 miles... Likely Tropospheric Ducting ("tropo") #RF propagation due to our inversion layers and one over the Columbia River in eastern WA.

Empirical data shows Idaho is becoming more and more sympathetic to immigrants as hostility from policymakers ramps up. The findings challenge the narrative often pushed by policymakers that Idaho supports more anti-immigrant policies.
New survey shows Idahoans’ sentiments toward immigrants shifted favorably in the past year

One of the projects I've been testing and working on over the last few months is at least in part due to this type of attack from rogue feds... I've expected this, and other unconstitutional bullshit, and encourage everyone protesting to take operational security precautions seriously.

Oh and by the way, the reason I know the names Coon, Powell, Briseno, and Wind (which I do, off the top of my head) is that I vowed to never call them the "Rodney King Riots" because what did Rodney King have to do with it? Why does he get named and the perpetrators don't?

We talked.
Soon after I said "shit gonna be cray cray fast" only moments later I told them to evacuate.
