We published this June 17.

Just watched 3 @denverpolice.bsky.social cars swarm a car, pull their guns, screaming at the passengers. This after they terrorized and chased a group of kids through Northfield with paintball guns. Miss me with the “we should call the cops on ICE” nonsense.

Too many people wanna blow up other people.

It’s another beautiful summer day turning to hot evening in the Mile High City and I’m again going to be doing a live thread from Denver’s Capital.

A friend's University of Colorado Boulder’s Upward Bound Program student passed away, & the family is seeking donations to manage his final expenses, so if able to contribute, please do so, & please share widely to amplify this fundraiser, as his family deserves help amid grief! 🙏🏾 gofund.me/7b3dbd71

Happy birthday to the prophetess Octavia Butler. We live in the times she foretold. From her notebooks.

Some really twisted jackasses have huge accounts and pull. This is FUCKED UP and I finally blocked this account.

Right now in Morningside Heights: Mahmoud Khalil is speaking to his supporters after being released from ICE detention on Friday.

The thing that is infuriating is that the vast majority of people who will die over this will be innocent Brown people but 90% of the discourse will be about Americans possibly dying

Don't let anyone forget that a genocide is still happening in Gaza

Congress, Now More Than Ever, We Need Your Cowardice

here’s what the onion’s full page spot is running next to this morning

Or, hear me out, the masked gang has always been “the law.” This is consistent with US history where our police emerged from slave patrols; where our prisons are new plantations. Abolition is the answer.

EXCLUSIVE — The Onion has a full-page ad in today’s NYT featuring part of an editorial calling out congressional fecklessness towards Trump. They also sent a copy of their latest issue to every lawmaker. My report, with an excerpt from the full editorial: www.thehandbasket.co/p/exclusive-...

The occupation of Iraq was justified through same rhetoric we hear now about Iran: weapons of mass destruction, saving women & queers, clash of civilizations etc the task of anti-imperialist left is not to litigate the veracity of these allegations, but to refuse racist premise for imperialist war

A lot of people who should read this, won't. www.laprogressive.com/racism/what-...

man evangelicals are gonna be SO mad when this doesn’t trigger the rapture

I showered and brushed my teeth, gonna try to sneak into the rapture.

Kind of impressed that the apocalypse is this stupid.

In addition to bombing Iran, the US Navy also launched missiles from submarines on Saturday. While the launch was in progress, those stationed at Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar—right across the Persian Gulf—received this alert (shared directly with me):

Of course he was going to bomb Iran. Is there an antiwar party in the U.S.?

The American evangelical right is absolutely shitting themselves with excitement over this. There is nothing on planet earth that they want more then a destabilized Middle East at war to trigger the rapture. This is 100% fact even though it sounds ridiculous.

I am incensed. This is all so heartbreaking and despicable. The Iranian people do not deserve this violence. We do not deserve this governance. The world does not deserve this. These outrages must end.

In better news, it finally dropped below 90.

I'm gutted and furious that the Iranian people will be injured, harmed and killed as a result of this absolutely depraved act of violence. What a complete travesty on every single level.

“tHeY cAnT dO tHat!!!!!” ok well they are babe, idk what to tell you

Seeing Anderson Cooper spinning another war for the US/Israel on CNN seems like a good time to remind everyone that I worked as a secretary at an architecture firm circa 2005-2007 and AC was a client and he’d come to meetings wearing an IDF sweatshirt. “Objectivity!”

Right before I saw the message from Trump I got a very different one from a friend in Tehran, so deeply surrounded by bombing that he was asking me to help communicate his last wishes. This is what my own taxes fund, so much pain upon my loved ones. We are complicit in so, so, so much violence.

*Trump illegally entering war against Iran*: "NOW IS THE TIME FOR PEACE!"

most unhinged country on the planet

Well fuck

People really need to familiarize themselves with how specialized police units in their cities operate (tactical, gang enforcement, etc). Much of this secret police behavior is identical to regular police behavior when you see what it really looks like beyond Officer Friendly propaganda.

The ICE agents aren’t insurrectionists, extremist militiamen or criminals, they’re the police. This is what the police look like, this is how the police operate.
