i had heard that DHS appointed a "leader of antifa" but nobody told me it was a guy named Chandler and I feel like that is important context

The thing is, Lupita Nyong’o might very well be the second most beautiful woman in the world (my wife is the first, obviously)
It's about hierarchy. "Beauty" is subjective, the idea of a black woman portraying the most beautiful woman in the world offends them because white people are supposed to be the most beautiful and it is therefore offensive, it's so straightforwardly racist bsky.app/profile/radl...
The woke scolds are trying to make this about racism. But Musk is right. It's about historical and scientific integrity. When the God of Thunder disguises himself as a swan to seduce and fuck a queen and the resulting baby hatches from an egg, *of course* the baby will be white. It's just science.

And the universal response of jailers to outbreaks? Lockdown.
Not mass triage or treatment. And certainly not releasing people or even addressing the foul conditions sparking outbreaks.

*Everyone* I know in MN is exhibiting telltale signs of trauma response to the occupation at this point; whether directly impacted or feeling the impacts of secondary and indirect trauma.
This is a reminder to care for the helpers and front line folks. To get rest and pace yourself.

Black August Reading List:
Blood in my Eye by George Jackson
Without George Jackson there would be no Black August. He was murdered by the state on August 21, 1971 because his writing and organizing challenged their power.

Every time I see people suggesting we pull the Democratic Party to the left from within, I think about what they did to the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party in 1964.
Tl;dr President Johnson applied pressure and they sided with the racists in the party and refused to seat the Black delegates
