In our latest & Us Voices episode, @philipmarinello.bsky.social shared his pick for the most sinister scene in Se7en: when John Doe gives himself up.

“It is immensely sinister. The way he looks and the way he speaks.”

Incredible image. Also incredible that the vast majority of white Christians in this country align with the men in camo.

I told the Reverend he made me proud to be a Christian.

the funny thing about the constant misappropriation of MLK is that the guy left a massive body of writing specifically aimed at explaining his views of those of the movement he represented to the broad public. it is extremely easy to know what the guy thought on a variety of subjects and yet

I hope some newspapers use a crop where you can easily read the sign.

A protester outside an ICE detention facility marches through clouds of irritant gas carrying American flags. A sign lying on the pavement by his feet reads “EVERY ICE AGENT WILL BE HELD TO ACCOUNT.”

You could make the argument that The Professor Watchlist was a gimmick that the young Kirk could use to raise his profile and money. But he never disbanded it, even as it was clearly used to harass and intimidate.

Chip Mitchell @chipmitchell1.bsky.social · 19d

Nearly 50 college instructors across #Illinois landed on #CharlieKirk's “Professor Watchlist.” @wbez.org reached out to all of them and found the list triggered hateful messages, threats of rape or death, and intensification since Kirk's killing.

Illinois professors face threats after landing on Charlie Kirk group watchlist

An online database compiled by a group affiliated with slain conservative activist Charlie Kirk identifies close to 50 Illinois college instructors it labels "radical professors."

moments ago, ice agents again came out of the broadview detention/“professing” facility to escort a silver suv out of the lot.

one of the agents picked up and threw congressional candidate kat abughazaleh to the ground.

Everybody gamely says “Vance hosted Kirk’s podcast” instead of “the regime officially turned the major channel into state-controlled media just as it began its violent crackdown on any opposition or dissident messages.”

The very best!!! We’re in somewhat of a similar situation and we just got word a few hours ago that our district will be working with him for free while he’s in Pre-K so he can be as ready as possible for next year 🥹🥹

This post that a friend of my partner's shared on FB potentially explains the Kristin Chenoweth thing, and is frightening.

Still thinking about this mind-boggling exchange regarding the former CDC director today

RFK JR: I told her that she had to resign because I asked her, “are you a trustworthy person?” and she said “no.”

WARREN: What?

I made my own version because i think Orcas are way cooler!

#Resist #Resistance #America #Revolution #Leftist #ACAB #FuckICE

Digital art drawing of four Orca whales in front of a dark red paper background. The Orca in the foreground has it's jaws clamped down onto an disembodied arm pig arm wearing military camo with the word "Fascism" written on the sleeve. Blood is trailing behind the main orca while one of the three orca's is calling over the other two with its mouth wide looking for reinforcement. The text on the art reads "Do Not Panic ORGANIZE."

Top text: Do Not Panic
Bottom text: Organize.
