A rule of thumb that will rarely lead you astray in this country is to assume that a riot was started by the people who showed up armed and dressed for a riot.

This story is horrifying. Scammers got people to pay thousands of dollars to hire a fake lawyer. To keep the scam going and keep the money flowing, the scammers also set up fake USCIS appointments, fake ICE check-ins, and fake court hearings. Worse, they told one guy to skip his real court hearing.

This is like tossing a hanging slider over the middle of the plate to Adam Dunn (aka Mr. Three True Outcomes) and expecting it to not get sent 400 feet into the bleachers. Gavin was built in a lab for this exact set of circumstances, each variable selected by the Trump admin itself

If I had no responsibilities, I'd be in LA right now. I hate feeling like a coward, but my clients need me in court this week.

But yeah, seriously, the way to combat and delegitimize these militaristic actions is to ridicule them. Hands down the most effective way to undercut their power bc humor replaces fear. Calling all clowns, mimes, polka bands, Mr Robotos, improv troupes, and circus acts: Your country needs you!

Just reminiscing about my JYA at the University of Edinburgh, and if Callum (named after Callum Beg from the Sir Walter Scott novels) wasn't the most lollans Scotsman I'd ever met, I'd eat my hat. Hope all my acquaintances from those days are doing as well or better than I.

BREAKING: A right-wing legal group just sued to force Utah to turn over its entire voter roll — including private & protected records. The outcome of this case could potentially lay the groundwork for voter purges in the state. From: @yuniorarivas.bsky.social

How can it be moral for me to enjoy life when I know other humans are suffering? It probably isn't. But I spend each (work) day fighting that suffering. I don't beat it often. But man when I do, the feeling is better than sex. And the only way I can get the energy for that fight...

How can you tell the difference between fascists and legit cops right now in the USA? The fascists wear masks when they arrest people and also ACAB.

Everyone saying the Trump/Musk stuff seems to have settled down has apparently forgotten both men are unhinged lunatics prone to erupt at any time in fits of nonsensical rage. CNN will declare Trump the "cooler head," then at 2:36 a.m. Sunday he'll announce he's deporting Musk's children.

Enough with the fucking “this is a distraction” bullshit. That’s your cowardice speaking. It is incredibly easy to say “These people are exactly the same as the messiest disasters you personally know, and would you want those people in charge of your daily budget? Your house? Your healthcare?”
