Maybe it’s the tism, the age, or just years of being a fucking target .. but I don’t find mean people funny, or endearing

I’m sick of everyone’s maladjustments turning something necessary like

Trauma informed , sensitive interactions

Into permissive nonsensical cruelty

So what I'm hearing is that, in the last five days, two Black Members of Congress have been assaulted in apparent support of the regime's deportation diktat (Rep Frost, punched at Sundance & told he'd be deported; Rep Omar at an ICE townhall) & the regime has arrested four Black journalists.

Huh.
The arrests of Don Lemon, Georgia Fort, and Jamael Lundy are unacceptable and a clear violation of the Constitution.

This is a dangerous abuse of power that threatens the rights of every single American.

They must be released immediately.

The government’s arrests of journalists @donlemonofficial.bsky.social and @bygeorgiafort.bsky.social are attacks on freedom of the press.

Two federal courts flatly rejected prosecuting Lemon, but instead of accepting that humiliating defeat, the government has now doubled down.

I get tired of saying it, but I’ll say it again: the nature of oppression in America is that they workshop it first on Black, Latino, Asian & Native people.

But it is always, in the end, coming for everyone.
The arrests of journalists Don Lemon and Georgia Fort are a test for every MSM member with a platform. If you are not voicing your outrage at this blatant violation of the First Amendment, you are utterly discredited as a journalist.

Another day of ICE violently arresting civilians, smashing windows, kitted out in insane gear. And now, arresting journalists like Don Lemon. They are acting like a military force so WIRED found an active duty officer to evaluate how they are doing as one www.wired.com/story/ice-pr...

Finally, we want to make sure everyone knows that our friends @Libro.fm have made the digital audio edition of Mutual Aid free for the next few days. There are many different ways to keep each other safe & mutual aid is one of them. You can download your copy here...
Mutual Aid: Building Solidarity During this Crisis (and the Next)
This book is about mutual aid: why it is so important, what it looks like, and how to do it. It provides a grassroots theory of mutual aid, describes how mutual aid is a crucial part of powerful movements for social justice, and offers concrete tools for organizing, such as how to work in groups, how to foster a collective decision-making process, how to prevent and address conflict, and how to deal with burnout. Writing for those new to activism as well as those who have been in social movements for a long time, Dean Spade draws on years of organizing to offer a radical vision of community mobilization, social transformation, compassionate activism, and solidarity.
