The best time to actually deal real consequences to cops is at least 8 generations ago. The next best time is now.
When police murder and maim people without consequence, it can be traced right back to the utter lack of will of the US to actually follow through with Reconstruction.

This is what many of us have been saying for years now, that the Israeli genocide is the same thing as cops in the US is the same thing as cops anywhere. Israel and the US in a closed feedback loop testing the boundaries and giving each other permission back and forth, liberal and conservative alike

Ahlam has been going to dialysis in Gaza this entire time- as you can imagine this is incredibly difficult and she needs to be somewhere better to get treatment. Even a little donation can help towards an evac fund ❤️
I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Ahlam. Ahlam has 9 daughters and a son and 22 grandchildren. She has been on dialysis for 11 years- a thing she needed 4 times a week. Today she is having a surgery on a fistula in her leg, she is hoping to evacuate Gaza for better care.

Just noticed every single Palestinian account I reposted last night has been deleted.
I really need folks to realise that need in Gaza has never been greater, but donations have gone down entirely. Meanwhile, BlueSky moderation has seemingly doubled down on its racism and quickly deletes accounts.

So much of the hideous bullshit of modern business makes a lot more sense after you realize that the “customer“ for the products being peddled aren’t actual human beings that go “Oh, that looks good, I’ll buy that,” but the investors shoveling money into the burn pits of these go-nowhere companies.

People keep wondering why they're going after Venezuela. It's because they want to do regime change and control its oil, then use a big tract of land there to keep a tax free "network state" that looks like Dubai but operates like Rhodesia. They are saying this out loud! Believe them!
