I love that we live in a world where we're all supposed to now praise Trump for his peace-making and ignore the fact that at least 20,000 Palestinians have been killed on his watch, with bombs & bullets - & rhetorical support! - that he supplied to Israel.
That's all erased now.

Welcome to the capitalist innovation museum we got

- scam machine
- psychosis inducing machine
- weapons of mass destruction
- button you push that makes the planet hotter
- markets that intentionally starve people
- clothes that fall apart after washing them 1 time
- medicine you can’t afford

Twenty years ago during the anti-war movement we had a chant "Occupation is a Crime, From Iraq to Palestine."

I feel you can bring that back now but replace Iraq with Portland

Trump's goons are even in decline. I remember a time when Trump had some of the tackiest goons in the tri-state. Now look at this schmuck, pathetic

i deactivated twitter today. it's becoming pretty obvious they're feeding personal information to bad actors and when i flew back into LAX from France a week or so ago i saw an agent going through a US person's phone. it's just not safe to use

additional weird overlap: benjamin "bugsy" siegel, kingpin of Murder Inc and effective founder of modern vegas, had to be talked out of killing Joseph Goebbels and Hermann Goering at a party in Italy in 1939

So since I'm annoyed let me say a few things today.Some folks have been writing about Christian Nationalism and apocalyptic right wing movements for YEARS here in the US. YEARS. Do we get to have a platform in major mags and newspapers... rarely.

I fear if things don’t change right now, this image is going to come back to haunt us

Laura Rodriguez, on Twitter:

A federal agent points a weapon at a woman who was recording them.

Jess, a U.S. citizen and member of a neighborhood patrol team that documents and shares ICE activity across the city, was filming when the incident occurred earlier today in the Berwyn area.

You can have a lot of fun with degrees of separation there. Danny DeVitto was in a movie with Mara Wilson who was in a movie with Peter Fonda who saw Pablo Picasso paint who won the Lenin Peace Prize, among other things

How did I miss this? Trump thinks Portland is on fire and is justified in sending in the troops because he watched a five-year-old clip on Fox? Are you kidding me? We are so in 25th Amendment territory. Biden never did anything close to this:

How Trump gets and processes information

How Trump is making potentially lethal decisions

Everything they are doing & saying right now is very obviously meant to clear the way for mass repressive violence.

Fact checking is not going to do shit.

Talking about kitchen table issues is not going to do shit.

We need open, unapologetic defiance & conflict.
