NEW: Until recently, two Minneapolis women have heading out each day on a simple mission: to find and mock Border Patrol field leader Greg Bovino. I talked to one of them and wrote about the strengths and limits of mocking these dripless malevolent losers: www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

GOOD. Visit this store if you can. And once the website it back up (it got overwhelmed by people placing orders) buy something from this gentle Viking.
Follow up from our local news about the comic book shop owner. He even gave you a mention. ;)

Amid these dark moments, something important is beginning to shift.
It's clearly the result of healthy political pressure - which we must sustain, and build.

Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump.
Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It’s a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states.

They know their audience has an insatiable appetite for seeing black women humiliated for exceeding their station, so when it didn’t happen they used AI to complete the fantasy bsky.app/profile/nyti...
The White House posted a digitally altered image showing a demonstrator involved in interrupting a church service in Minnesota last weekend crying as she was arrested on Thursday.
A previous version of the image, also posted by an official government account, showed her looking forward calmly.

White House Posts Altered Photo Showing Arrested Minnesota Protester Crying
The New York Times ran the image posted by Kristi Noem, the homeland security secretary, as well as the one posted by the White House through an A.I. detection system. It concluded that the White House’s version showed signs of manipulation.

I ran into Dani Bicknell while I was walking down Piedmont Avenue in Oakland. I was wondering if anybody was doing the walkout at 2pm. Dani had organized people to walkout. We know lots of young folks are fired up about Trump. It is great to see older (especially older white folks) stand up.

How many people have to say it? ICE is out of control, and racist as f*ck.
This is ICE culture

The President of the United States just called for Democratic members of Congress to be executed. "HANG THEM", he posted.
If you're a person of influence in this country and you haven't picked a side, maybe now would be the time to pick a fucking side.

In social movement studies, we talk about how marches and protests expand the threshold of acceptable risk so that people take more and bigger social risks IN PUBLIC, EN MASSE. This is extremely important for the bourgeois white folks holding signs and building social rapport.
Not a shitpost: #NoKings is feel-good performative activism for comfortable mostly upper and upper middle class white folks and that’s good, actually. Millions of people in the streets protesting a fascist regime is good. It is good for the normie baseline to be massive displays of public dissent.
