What we are seeing in Los Angeles right now with #NoKings is after several hours of a massive protest that was 100%, law enforcement—abruptly and without provocation—began firing tear gas, flash bangs and pepper balls at protesters. It was broadcast live on air. “Unrest” is on them.

This Army birthday I’m thinking of Medal of Honor recipient Pvt Henry Johnson of the 369th NY National Guard (known as the Harlem Hellfighters). The 369th served more days in the WWI trenches than an other US unit, took more casualties also. DOD just stripped Johnson’s name off Ft. Polk.

great reminder to all of those Democrats and liberals saying that we need to abandon red states because they are gerrymandered into right wing autocracies where the vote isn’t in their favor instead of accepting that we are gonna have to fight for every American no matter where they are.

The parades after Desert Storm were well-attended and properly planned. It’s not like we don’t have folks around who’ve at least witnessed them in person.

1. Let's put this together. The assassin appears to be the follower of the New Apolostolic Reformation, which holds that American society is literally under demonic possessions. (And you, dear reader, are one of the demon.) www.wired.com/story/shooti...

"But until problematic and corrupted governance is remedied" Do you reckon @stopwoodsidemonash.bsky.social? When you literally have members of the #atlasnetwork in your university... eg: Melbourne University = dark history, yes. Dark future too. Hello? #Academicsky @nteunion.bsky.social

How was this even published?? Not even hiding the use of AI in writing the paper, to the point of crediting ChatGPT as co-author, and then apologising for doing so because AI tools shouldn’t be credited as co-authors. Not for using AI to write the damn paper, though! FFS. 📚 #AcademicSky

How do Stand Your Ground laws interact with masked, non identified, no badge people trying to invade homes, places of business, etc.? Any papers or legal analyses out yet? And are any applicable in public places, private cars and so on?

This was mostly true during the Vietnam War, too. The colorful and violent folks get more attention because they generate more revenue because they’re “more interesting.”

Libraries can’t archive digital subs like we did with print because we have no ownership rights. One of the endless knock-on effects from the lack of digital ownership and the Spotification of digital scholarly content. 🤷‍♀️

They are actively arresting peaceful protesters for wearing medical masks at the protests. Now if you are wondering how police are treating nonviolent protesters. Have a feeling this is going to turn into a thread of actions today

So the suspected republican assassin in the murder of a state legislator here in Minnesota and the attempted murder of another ran his own private security firm, and multiple members of his family were police. Someday people will accept that what those of us on the academic side are saying is true

Free Online U.S. Mortuary and Funeral Home Records Can't find a DC and need the cause of death? Need to find out who the deceased is related to? Possibly a death date or cemetery that you can't find elsewhere? Mortuary records are hard to find, but they are worth it. buff.ly/rBRRfVb #genealogy

This is v astute. Belew's _Bring the War Home_ describes white nationalists as early internet adopters who wanted to produce this state of affairs! A nationwide movement that retained plausible deniability as to its breadth because of decentralization and the creation of alternative media sources.

Hugely long shot but if there are any experts here in the geography of late 18th-century Vienna, please get in touch! I am trying to roughly locate an address but I only have a few details and maps are proving a bit gnarly for a total outsider 🙃 #18c #vienna

I will hold the line on this. Right-wing violence has far more support, materially, institutionally and ideologically, in the U.S. than left-wing violence. There is no both-sidesing it.

I can’t help but think that if your feed on BlueSky is terrible, and all your interactions here are terrible, you likely need to follow different accounts (or more accounts). That won’t fix everything, but it helps an awful lot.

I would like my state, every state, to mandate badges, name plates, no masks, for all law enforcement in the state. And if federal agents try to break the mandate, arrest them, then let the courts sort it out.

Essential reading (by @jasonstanley.bsky.social) for every American. The media, aided by a handful of reactionary academics and compliant university administrations, has sold the public a huge lie about wokeness on college campuses, enabling the extreme right. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...
