In 2020 someone installed plaques on benches in Calgary’s Bowmont Park commemorating events that didn’t happen. The city removed them but re-installed them after locals protested. How could you not want these?

There are still both procedural (override the Parlimentarian) and regular (get ten Democratic votes in the Senate) ways to save this provision, but this ruling is A BIG DEAL. Maximum pressure is still needed to keep this provision out, but there is now a path to getting the provision out.

The blind zone on a Chevy Suburban is much, much bigger now than 20 years ago. The same is true for all 6 models that researchers recently examined. Bigger blind zones --> More pedestrian deaths (which have surged in the last 20 years) Research: saemobilus.sae.org/articles/lon...

This made me laugh, because you know, otherwise I’d cry and I do enough of that. This is also exactly what Alice’s dad said about the Indian SC ruling a few hours ago.

So, these people are white supremacists of a very specific, American kind. The idea that the right to govern belongs only to a select, racially defined group was the political theory of the antebellum and redeemed south. Ask who is being replaced and why that’s a problem, you’ll see it.

The semiliterate people who use chatgpt like to point to calculators as a precedent of assistive technology but the thing is: calculators actually calculate. A calculator really does let you outsource calculation. It does exactly what it is supposed to do, and marketed as doing, reproducibly.

Please forgive my delay in responding. Your message arrived to me inscribed on the face of a complex rotating polyhedron, and for several days I struggled to orient the shape such that the text was visible

"Are we here to provide comfort to the inert? Are we here to reassure people that experiencing a positive feeling is the end of their work? Do our stories exist to pacify an audience that’s on the verge of taking action by telling them they’ve already done enough?" 🔥

“But there are carve outs for health necessity” y’all a woman was just arrested at the No Kings march because she didn’t have a doctor’s note confirming her medical exemption and refused to take her mask off. Literally the mask bans turn into “show us your papers” evil.

“Feminism is not innately free from power hierarchies and has been hostile to racialized and transfeminized women” gets purposed into “therefore a female liberation politic is bad for marginalized women.” Real convenient double-speak for anti-feminists

Nonprofit environmentalists taught us how important wrap-up videos of a protest are. It is very important to the cause. I started doing it at Standing Rock. It gets the movements message out and sometimes taunts and shames the enemy. More ppl see the video of the protest than the protest.

Are the two people who drove their cars into people yesterday and the person who shot at people in Utah all white men? The person who murdered Democratic politicians yesterday was. Are we allowed to connect the dots? Will be media write exposes asking why white men are so violent? Or no?

This Fathers Day, please take some time to learn about and support parents caught in the carceral and family policing systems. They love their kids as much as you do, and have as much right to celebrate with them today.

The issue w/ current discourse of resistance is the focus on who the “real criminals” are instead of the process of criminalization by which certain people, groups & actions will always be framed as threats/violent while enabling others to engage in extreme forms of violence w/ absolute impunity.

The point is to create a world in which the authoritarians can simultaneously inhabit a position of victim and abuser, creating an imagined threat of persecution and violence in order to persecute and carry out violence. This is how this always works. We cannot allow this to continue.

The whole "stop poisoning kids" movement in the Portland, OR ICE protests expanded last night, where DHS officials used a green gas (likely Adamsite) in a residential neighborhood and near a school, which may need to be temporarily closed because of it. Not the first time this has happened.

If I could have my way . No one would protest his parade . They wouldn’t even go. It would be the start of a full month committed to service and repair . The start of a whole teach in on civics and long term mutual aid
