LAPD radio chatter about "protesters arming themselves with shields" and I will point out "arming" only applies to weapons, not PPE

Respectfully, these debates about spontaneity vs. organization are unnecessarily dichotomous. streets have their own ungovernable beautiful rhythm. and ecosystem of the streets is organized networks (like LA thru neighbourhood councils, wildfire mutual aid, student encampment, eviction defense..)

Okay, lady, let me get this straight: In an alternate timeline no one remembers, Picard ordered your mother—who you hate—to do something she was going to do anyway, and this resulted in both your birth and your father—who you love—killing your mom. And for this you blame Picard?

New: In 2012, we launched the 'Rolling Jubilee,' a novel fund that purchased millions of dollars in household debt—for pennies on the dollar—and then erased it. Today—inspired by that project—South Korea's newly elected President is proposing a Korean version of our fund.

Criminalization is at the core of everything we’re seeing and experiencing now. It is how authoritarian, fascist, Right-wing agendas are enacted and legitimized. This is why, in our strategies for resisting, challenging criminalization is crucial. Learn more in this @haymarketbooks.org video panel:

The idea of the criminal is a lot more complex than either 1) someone who broke the law or 2) someone with a criminal conviction.

Tough on crime policies and rhetoric over the last 40 years has just expanded the scope of who is considered criminal but even when you unpack and humanize the group that does have criminal records, people are less compelled by the idea that they should be summarily detained and banished from the US

What is ‘extreme’ or ‘off the wall’ is a product of politics. When large chunks of the Democratic Party support Republican positions, those positions will be treated as sensible in media coverage.

I think it’s important to notice why so many Americans believe the criminal group exists: yes the media but also two political parties that kept talking about this criminal imaginary. Two. That appeal to Liz Cheney moderates shit is damaging.

There's a lot to unpack here. But the "why do people in the developed world die from chronic diseases at higher rates than in poorer countries" is because we survive long enough to die from chronic rather than infectious disease. This is epidemiology 101. It's not a mystery.

People trying to protect their neighbors are not the problem. The fact that some of you are thinking that way reflects a level of psychological capture & submission to fascism that you should interrogate. If they want an "excuse" to do something, they'll create one. The good guys aren't the problem.

People need to understand the word “criminal” is the easiest weapon for an authoritarian to use and work on changing their emotional reactions to the word and recognize they’ve spent most of their lives being manipulated into vilifying allies to the delight of the wealthy.
