Power is imposing authoritarianism everywhere. They are afraid and trying to tighten the grip. It's this. It's ICE. It's anti-DEI. It's all of it. They will fail.

Important thread about keeping protests non-violent. They want you to do it to allow them to bring the full brutality of the state down on you. I'll never forget this story - especially the part where they were carrying rocks.

Israeli Telegram has some comments about the latest massacre: “A blessed meal is not required to start the morning of Shabbat.” “Start bombing Nazi population centers in Gaza, killing as many as possible … until the total destruction of the entire Nazi population in Gaza.” t.me/firstreports...

Let’s be clear: ICE injured and detained the president of SEIU California for peacefully observing. ICE picked the wrong side. The wrong state. The wrong person. and the wrong union. David Huerta stood up. And now 750,000 SEIU workers are standing up behind him. seiuca.org/press-releas...

This reminds me of one of my favourite Fargo things. Bob Odenkirk was walking by and a local journalist, who had no idea who he was, started asking him questions. I can't find the full video, but it seemed like Bob was in a rush until he realized the guy was local then stopped to chat. Very sweet.
