Nbd just kinda telling how all our advice about how to stay safer at protests is about protecting ourselves from cops and not ever not once that I have ever seen about keeping us safe from other protesters Almost like there's only one real threat to protester safety or something

Empire always comes home. All the sins we have committed abroad were always destined to find us in our homes, on our streets. We're being haunted by the violence we allowed to thrive.

🧵I think it's worth remembering three facts: 1. Israel is the only nation in the Middle East with nuclear weapons. 2. Iran does not have nuclear weapons. 3. Iran has a nuclear program that it says is for energy purposes. Is Iran lying about its intentions? 🤷‍♀️ But it doesn't have weapons now.

OMG. According to two members of Congress that just conducted an inspection and confirmed horrible conditions at the ICE detention center where unrest led to 4 people escaping, apparently people were able to escape because an EXTERIOR WALL was made of drywall and wire mesh!

Hey fellow white people who are brand new to gestures wildly:listen to ppl who have organized & protested before. I know they’re mostly Bipoc,trans & queer, so listening to them is new 4U. But the shit you think is smart (see: sit down in front of pigs at a protest)is WRONG. YOU sit down & learn.

I took a picture of Sabrina Carpenter trying to find her car keys on the floor and now everyone is mad at me because it's her album cover. She found her keys! It's fine!

"People who say they want to defund the cops still call the cops when they get robbed!" Yeah because we have this system called "insurance" to protect your possessions and the only way to claim that shit is to call the cops, you literally don't have a choice.

A few things 1. "genAi is a transformative work" - this lawsuit proves repeatedly how that's not the case, Midjourney makes exact copies 2. "they're going to settle!" for what? Disney and Universal want blood, not dollars 3. There's no way to unring this bell, you can't untrain these models

The idea that the progressive left used the internet to bully institutions into accepting unpopular, far-left positions is the exact opposite of what has actually happened. The alt-right used the internet for ideological capture and they are now in the White House bragging about it daily

The charges against Prof. Willoughby-Herard were finally dropped yesterday. She courageously defended UCI students against police stifling dissent against Israel's genocide in Gaza. I am inspired by her courage and honored to have represented her in this case. Solidarity with those who fight.

Avoid the violence/nonviolence debate. It’s a trap. The only thing that matters is what actions lead to more justice and less harm. Inaction and complicity in the face of brutal oppression is the worst form of violence. Never forget it.

I've noticed a concerning amount of people invoking and misspelling an Indian civil rights leader's name in the name of peaceful protest and I wouldn't be saying anything about it if they weren't wrong about all of it

This took a while to get done, but I've chronicled my day among the protesters in Los Angeles, and the idea that this is anything but a celebration of cultural heritage and a firm, nonviolent demand to protect family, friends and neighbors is totally ridiculous. prospect.org/justice/crie...

Not enough is made, including by Zohran himself, about the victory for taxi driver relief. It's gotta be among the greatest labor victories in this city of the past few decades, and he really was the leader on it:

it is remarkable that they couldn’t just let her land. she would’ve delivered enough aid for a few hundred people, max. gaza would still be starving. the israeli government couldn’t handle even the optics of someone giving food to gazans
