Rise like Lions after slumber
In unvanquishable number—
Shake your chains to earth like dew
Which in sleep had fallen on you—
Ye are many—they are few.

800 people at Whittier International Elementary right now to coordinate ICE resistance. EIGHT HUNDRED, at one little school.
Recall there are only 2,000 ICE agents in the entire metro. Puny!

It always drives me a little crazy when people say “you have to consider both sides.” No, you really don’t. For starters, there are usually far more than “both” (aka just 2) sides to an issue. And when one of them simply ignores facts or invents them, they don’t warrant any deeper consideration.

Minneapolis is in a worse state than what the videos convey. I fear people don't grasp just how bad this blitzkrieg against our people is. It's everywhere, all the time, and only the most egregious bits that get reordered at all gain traction.

There are no rules, they don’t actually care about respect, decorum, bipartisanship or debate, and only pretend to do so to browbeat you into submission. Nothing is going to change until more people realise that and respond accordingly; including to the media and politicians who have failed them.

Unarmed woman executed by state may have been on committee to fight against unarmed women being executed by the state
The woman killed by an ICE agent in Minneapolis last week served on the board of her son’s school, which linked to documents encouraging parents to monitor ICE and directing them to training. https://cnn.it/49yoNEa

ICE totaled this car, abducted a woman, and then left it in the middle of Snelling Avenue, one of the busiest streets in the Twin Cities.
This isn’t law and order, this state sanctioned terrorism. It’s fucking disgusting.

Centrists do not seem to recognize “you cannot vote for the future you want because nobody else wants that” and “everyone who disagrees with you has psychological problems” as propaganda scripts, which, today, seems inexcusable

Why is the dessert fork so small? Do these fools think they can make me eat dessert slower, or eat less of it? Do they think they can dissuade me? Discourage me? They'll soon learn these tactics are in vain.

I personally think that when a guy like Cuban says he has an easier time talking with nazis and pedophiles on twitter than human beings on bluesky, we should believe him and draw all the obvious conclusions about his moral character and ultimate goals.

That snow-golem has the arrogance of unlife. Just walks right up to the constable and says “you cannot kill me in a way that matters”.

This thanksgiving I’m reflecting on my growing suspicion of any Christian group that claims to be “religiously persecuted“ without any additional context around why there might have been conflict with other group. maybe it was unwarranted! but the Pilgrims were mad they weren’t *persecuting*

A lot of buzz on the timeline today about genAI and honestly I think AI’s main use case is halfassing something you don’t think matters very much. I also think there’s a big connection there to politics and policy. We keep halfassing, and we’re over the tipping point of that reckoning coming home

It’s a small contribution to the mess we are in but one thing that sucks about America is how our public discourse doesn’t even *pretend* to engage with ideas. They just assert “my enemies believe X” and everyone just goes along

I don’t think you’d ever get them to admit it but the connective tissue between all recent conservative action has been the idea that government should dictate culture and prevent decentralized movements from existing when they aren’t explicitly conservative in nature

One of the most important things you can do when encountering one of these “my enemies all have this perverse psychology” posts is to ask if anyone has ever explicitly or implicitly used the reasoning described in an actual conversation. There are a few one-uppers out there but it ain’t a movement.
The “don’t sign up for protests” thing is just an outgrowth of the Online tendency to one-up other people on how much you care. Oh, they’re protesting and signing people up for it? I’ll show them by claiming that’s wrong and you can care more by not signing up.
