Treating this as equal force in any way to what the government is doing to protestors is journalistic malpractice, but that's business as usual for most american journalists.
Remember that a lot of these outfits actively work with the police and feds. Stay safe.
"Firing back" against what? A melted shopping cart? Understand that the American news media is also the enemy.
Do not take any on camera interviews with them if you're a protestor in LA.
it's very important that, if you can, you go out to a protest today, especially if you live in California. this one is happening in San Francisco, there are other protests organized throughout the state. find one and show up.

if your entire praxis is smugly correcting people on the Internet and you're not showing up at demos or organizing: I do think that's a pathetic way to be

I expect all the "well AKSHUALLY the national guard isn't on the ground yet so this is fine" liberals to be in the streets tonight, and if you're not, I can see you
At the ICE raid and subsequent community resistance in Paramount, California this morning, this skater kid ate dozens of munitions from Border Patrol agents, walked away slowly and flipped them off.

The honest reason I don't have microtransactions/season pass/ads/100 DLCs/etc in Balatro isn't just about the ethics of those practices but because when I play other games that have those things it makes me want to put my computer in the dishwasher and set it to pots & pans
I for one fully support the US Democrat TACO event, assuming that TACO stands for Terminal Aerodynamically Controlled Ordinance which will be deployed from LEO targeting the skulls of ICE agents.
pride month used to be about half assed corporate rainbow-washing and now it's about the anticipation of stochastic terrorism by the right against various small town parades and while the latter is a lot worse, it *is* closer to the historical meaning of the thing
Internet Roadtrip is my favorite thing on the internet right now—it’s basically Twitch Plays Google Street View. They started in Boston, spent several weeks on a quest to cross the Canadian border, and are now exploring New Brunswick. neal.fun/internet-roa...
Most people just aren't set up to deal with an instant torrent of abuse. And it IS easier to tune out the Nazis on Twitter because Nazis gonna Nazi; a hundred soi-dissant Leftists mocking your name and appearance and wishing you dead hits differently.
There was an essay I read recently that talked about the religious and uniquely christian character of American patriotism, down to having holy texts, prophets who are elevated to near godhood (the founding fathers) and idols but I can’t seem to find it anymore. Anyone know what I’m talking about?
they won't learn because they don't want to govern. they want to slightly lose every time and use it as an excuse to fundraise more.
the democratic party is basically a pyramid scheme pretending to be a political party
Got to see Cabaret at the August Wilson yesterday, it’s always bittersweet seeing my favorite musical on stage - largely because it’s all the news channels run anymore.
This is why I have now rescued two Cricut Expressions by using libcutter to, effectively, unbrick them and turn them into x-y plotter/cutters.
This is why I built a ghost light for my theater.
Creation feels good, reuse feels good, you don’t need to consume more and newer and different.
this is maybe trite at this point but it is in your interest to find ways to create things. basically everyone wants you to be consuming nonstop. making stuff, from cooking to photography or whatever, can help you feel more in control. doesn’t even have to be something you share with other people
Today’s weird dream, a twitter screenshot meme: “nothing like an office meeting full of hurried desperation to give you that none gratitude with left beef 😌”

and that's an understatement. Loving v Virginia was 1967. polls didn't show a majority of Americans supporting interracial marriage until *1997*.
we're dealing with a party that would have waited that long.

I like all the news outlets going "so-and-so people are now regretting their support for the current administration."
WELL TOO LATE NOW BITCHES, NOW WE'RE ALL RIDING THIS TRAIN OVER THE CLIFF, TOOT TOOT
Pikachu played an important role in the Chilean uprising of 2019.
“Tia Pikachu” became an icon of the protests in Plaza Dignidad and ultimately won a seat in the constitutional convention.
Now Pikachu can be seen in the streets of Turkey, resisting the despotic regime of Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.
“One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He “began to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, “folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He “asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”
I want to make this post because I see people trying to rewrite history and make dems the victims of a malicious campaign by Arabs and young people to tank Kamala's campaign swing states.
What actually happened is that dems made a horrible political calculation in Michigan and ate shit.
