def tangential but I'm glad that California's leaders are competing with who can do the most visible resisting ... that's actually what they should be doing

This part. There are practical benefits to resistance to disappearing people off the street & they are evident. It’s not that protestors are winning it’s that they’re stopping democracy from losing completely.

if you've been watching the community defenses against ICE and thinking, "i support my comrades but i don't feel comfortable being on the ~front lines~" please know there are many other ways to support! you can drop off a case of water and snacks, buy medical supplies, donate to jail support, etc

“Those who scold protestors for disruptive tactics don’t have a solid basis for their criticism.The highly visible invasion of communities,courthouses,& workplaces by Kevlar-clad, armed ICE agents is bringing thousands more into the streets–evidence that militant resistance is contagious right now.”

Wondering what the explanations are for the wide spread in approval around the deportation question in this poll v. the CBS news poll released a couple days ago (40% v. 54%). Is it down to question wording?

According to the MSM and US pundits, the Right has "values" and the Left(s) have "issues." It's incredibly strange.

If you know someone is consistently in your corner & then once in a blue moon they say something out of pocket - you have to be able to say “you crazy for that, man” & then move on.

The Right Way To Protest is to stand very still in your apartment and whisper “I wish this wasn’t happening” then get your ass to work, you’re gonna be late damn it

“the new material is as strong as petroleum-based plastics but breaks down into its original components when exposed to salt. Those components can then be further processed by naturally occurring bacteria,thereby avoiding generating microplastics that can harm aquatic life and enter the food chain.”

Just weeks ago, it looked like the left was fragmented and Andrew Cuomo was inevitable in NYC. Now the left appears unified behind Zohran Mamdani in a race that could go all the way to November, no matter the primary outcome. Bob Kuttner has this report: prospect.org/blogs-and-ne...

I honestly don’t know how any party that accepts this — and not saying the dems have — can ever again be competitive enough to overcome gerrymandering and voter inertia. The man did a Nazi salute. What are we doing here??

Btw, this is a major reason for the helicoptering and excessive screen time. Where are kids going and what can they do that doesn’t cost a ton of money/isn’t criminalized? And,the monstrous racist carcerality that it takes to be the prosecutor who does this to grieving parents? Cursed.

Honestly this scolding is so hilarious. Do you think the people of BlueSky are generally not aware of or jittering mad enough about the nuclear dumpster fire of a political situation we’re in which you - an elected - seem not to be doing a damn thing about? Sasha, what the fuck are you doing here?

Lee Jae-myung, the South Korean politician who climbed the fence of the parliament to get inside and vote against martial law, has been elected president. Pretty cooool

it is darkly amusing that it seems to cross relatively few minds that "our most high-info and high-engagement voters know we are deliberately spineless frauds and hate voting for us" might eventually do damage with people other than those voters

"Harriet Tubman, along with Black soldiers, took part in a daring Union raid of Combahee Ferry near Beaufort, South Carolina. She became the first American woman to lead a major military operation when she and at least 150 Black soldiers helped to rescue more than 700 Black Americans..."
