that’s not what this article is saying at all. it says that a local cop shared her info with ICE in a cop groupchat that had local, state, and federal cops in it including ICE. she was not in that group chat. it’s important to share accurate info in scary times!

this is true! i used to go a lot when i lived in morocco to renew my visa. the main downside from my perspective was the extreme heat in summer and relative lack of extensive (shaded) green spaces compared to say sevilla

oh yeah i’m familiar with dance cards from period piece media. literally little cards, sometimes attached to wrist, mostly for formal balls. i’ve just never heard of colloquial usage

in context, does this just mean your schedule is full/too busy to make plans? i’ve only encountered it in the literally sense (in media, i am not that old lol)

my synagogue recently held a vote to amend the bylaws by adding a code of conduct and the people who wrote the code of conduct voted against putting it in the bylaws lol

i’ve found it to be the most seamless of the ‘privacy’ focused browsers cause it’s chromium. i mostly used the settings from here (it’s a little bit different for mobile than PC) www.privacyguides.org/en/desktop-b...

this is of course primarily applicable if the logic is to do narrative shift thru media coverage. don’t do this shit for a da. maybe write an anonymous communique for that if u want or sth

and if you can’t attend protests in person - maybe you can write press releases, liaison w photographers who have wifi enabled cameras to pick good photos, get quotes u want news to print. most protest comms work is just spreadsheet & computer stuff!

i think there’s just an easy slippage/messiness around cop violence & confrontational tactics. yeah there are accelerationists, and at the end of the day the left(s) should be putting the onus of cop violence on the cops! even as some tactics rile them up more & that state violence is radicalizing
comment in response to

and the reality of *mass* mobilization is that there’s a lot of people out there who have different ideas and nobody is in charge! so it’s functionally very diff than an action like JVP or XR organizing members of their org to like shut down a building, w message & tactical discipline
comment in response to
post
i also think when ppl who don’t constantly do politics participate in mass mobilization they don’t have a specific logic. they’re not thinking ‘let’s force arrests to get media to do narrative shift’ or ‘let’s left flank so this other movement part can push this policy’. it’s emotional first imo
comment in response to
post
i think a generous reading is that it’s a descriptive outcome rather than aspirational. like ideally we could change our society to be better without a shitload of violence being done to mostly marginalized people!
comment in response to
post
well i think there’s an added context that whether or not police respond violently is a signal on whether the action is effective at threatening existing power structures!

like i rly think the most demobilizing thing cops can do is just ignore protests lol
comment in response to
post
yep! it’s mostly vanguardist types that say this out loud ime. at the same time, it’s cops that choose to brutalize ppl whether or not someone breaks windows. like June 2020 pdx protests were dying down *after* PPB started ignoring property damage right up til the feds started going off on people

2 is simply a timeline thing. US had shifted to being on a 2-5 yr cycle of mass mobilizing. imo whether each cycle results in more movement building or more burnout is not a settled question. maybe in another 10-20 years the past 10-15 yrs of mobilizing will have a diff historiography
comment in response to
post
i dont think it has made major material changes at the scale of US society in the past decade. i’m hesitant to writeoff the logic entirely for 2 reasons. 1 is observing ppl will go to greater tactical lengths to protect ppl they care abt than they might otherwise. LA sparking after 2k arrests for ex

there’s all sorts of issues with the bet at the center of this logic. will ppl who experience cop violence durably change their approach to political organizing? does this violate ppl’s consent to take on specific risks at actions? maybe. imo that’s the logic tho
comment in response to
post
this is sth that is discussed, but the logic is not that cop violence against protestors will change media narratives or jaded observers. the logic is that experiencing cop violence is a transformative/radicalizing experience. mass protests bring ppl into the streets who have never experienced it
