Under the cats are flags of Palestine, Armenia, Mayanmar, Sudan, Congo, Lebanon, Ukraine, and Haiti arched around the words in cursive font " Dedicated to Decolonization and Liberation of All People"

On the left under the picture is an About me section that reads:

The literal reading of this statement is Pam Bondi is planning extrajudicial executions of random protesters.

My gosh. After the US bombed multiple boats in the middle of the ocean, murdering people on grounds that they were allegedly "carrying drugs," the US Attorney General says "Just like we did with cartels, we're going to take the same approach, President Trump, with Antifa."

At least 6 unhoused Chicagoans have been abducted by federal agents since September: 2 have been released, while the status of the remaining 4 is unknown. But the Chicago Coalition to End Homelessness is investigating reports of an additional 19 people disappeared.

Client no shows hit different when you have to worry about mass gov kidnappings on top of the standard concerns as a mental health clinician.

Local cops are not on the side of Democratic politicians or under their actual control. People refuse to understand this too even though we've been making this point for decades.

@wizardstyles.bsky.social You've fostered such a fun & collaborative table. You have handled a game that has a very colonial premise and embraced our desires as players to play but also not comply with the empire.
Thank you.

Also I appreciate that all our actions had consequences. ^_^

Mods are asleep, quick say nice things about our Mastermind, @wizardstyles.bsky.social 👀 This was my first long form horror game, and I have wholeheartedly enjoyed every session. You've taken all of our shenanigans and subversion of normal play in stride and really brought together a wonderful tale.

Two years of continued and livestreamed genocide following decades of occupation, colonization, ethnic cleansing, and war crimes is sitting heavy in our hearts and souls.

We must continue to fight for liberation beyond fiction. From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free. 🇵🇸

Good reporting on the South Shore raid from South Side weekly here.

Confirms one thing I was told but didn't put in my own piece because I didn't have a second source and it seemed too insane: border agents segregated arrested residents by race

Families were woken by flashbangs and helicopters as hundreds of federal agents raided their homes. Days later, neighbors are still searching for the missing.

Boy, y'all better hope the revolution never kicks off given that you're sticking all these vital data centers in the south to poison black people.

I’m sure it’s just a coincidence that all these data centers are going into communities that have been historically targeted for exploitation and have the least amount of civic power wielded by the people living there.

We recorded this last Wednesday, and remarked on how much would probably change before it's up since there are like a dozen new horrible things every day now.

In the time since then, Border Patrol tear gassed several neighborhoods—and shot a woman:

It’s Bad Actually for the blue billionaire savior to feel so comfortable lying about the excessive force his state police are using in Broadview.

His relative superiority to Newsom, and the desperation for real opposition to Trump, discourages open criticism or even critical thinking re: Pritzker

One of the things that brings me the greatest despair in authoritarianism is watching people react to state violence the way they react to domestic violence.

By justifying anything and everything the perpetrators does through blaming a victim for failing to be submissive enough.

I spoke to a Venezuelan woman who was arrested in this raid and later released with her 4yo son. She said agents broke down their door, pointed guns at them and made sexualized remarks about Venezuelan women. When she returned to her apartment it was boarded up and all her possessions were gone.

He was always going to do this. Chicagoans have not rioted, so the administration just lied and said we have. We have not attacked ICE agents, so they just lied and said we did. There was no chaos here, so they created chaotic scenes by attacking people and filmed that shit.

Y'all who keep lecturing protesters to "not give them an excuse" need to pause for a minute. Imagine yourself telling a DV victim, "Be sure not to mouth off or make any mistakes so he won't hit you. Don't give him an excuse! It's what he wants!" That's what you fools sound like.
