Why do people who never protest have so much to say about protest?

I'm imagining ICE doing to NYC what it's doing to LA — and the people of NYC responding the way people are in LA — and it all happening under Mayor Cuomo. He'll side with ICE, DHS and, of course, the NYPD. This man, who hates the city and doesn't live here, can not become mayor. Don't rank him.

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.

Right now, Muslims in Gaza are supposed to be celebrating Eid al-Adha. Instead of feasting, they are starving. Instead of gathering with their loved ones, they are burying their children. Netanyahu and the IDF can end this misery ANY time by agreeing to a ceasefire and allowing aid into Gaza.

The president has covered the Oval Office in gold, is planning a massive military parade for his birthday, and is now accepting $400,000,000 luxury planes from foreign powers as personal presents. What the fuck are we doing here?

"There's a reason you separate military and the police. One fights the enemies of the state, the other serves and protects the people. When the military becomes both, then the enemies of the state tend to become the people." - Commander William Adama, Battlestar Galactica

“Abolish ICE” is the moderate position. Radical is “prosecute every ICE employee under RICO.”

I am outraged by the unjust arrest of Newark Mayor Ras Baraka earlier this afternoon outside of Delaney Hall in Newark. I am calling for his immediate release by federal law enforcement.

As mayor of Newark, Ras Baraka has a responsibility to ensure that facilities operating in the city are adhering to laws that protect the safety and wellbeing of occupants and residents.

I want to once again stress that when the members of Congress first arrived there are 3 ICE agents there and by the time they were arresting the Mayor there were 20. This was a set up.

My local bookstore in the mall sold all my book copies and now wants more! I can't believe this is real. People walk into this beautiful bookstore, and out of all the books they could buy, they choose mine? What an honor to experience this. #booksky #soundweavers #writersonbsky

Linda McMahon wrote Harvard a letter to which they responded by noting areas that are in need of corrections and then posted it on social media. Great job Harvard!👏👏👏

Scored this from @dkalban.bsky.social at BICS and it’s truly a fantastic read, with top notch art. I do have one question, though. How the hell has a publisher not been knocking down the team’s door????

Buttigieg: Like I love A1 steak sauce, but A1 steak sauce is not one of the most important things confronting humanity right now. Artificial intelligence is. And somebody who doesn't understand that probably should not be leading an important federal agency.

Jim Woodring wrote two Aliens tie-ins as far as I know, and they're both masterclasses. Primally attuned to the fact that human avarice is way more frightening than the xenomorph.

Without due process, governments can easily abuse power, targeting critics or vulnerable groups, leading to unchecked oppression.

If I was to write a monthly newsletter, on either Patreon or Buttondown or some other platform, what do you think I should write about?

Since the only phone game I play is Chess Club, I often get hints (which I don't redeem) in exchange for ads for games such as Gossip Harbor. Gossip Harbor is basically what the affluent want everyone else to do, freeze, starve and beg.
