It's simply untrue that, compared to 2017 mass resistance, we are seeing mass quiescence. February '25 saw 2x as many protests as Feb '17. This data doesn't include Bernie 'fighting oligarchy' huge rallies, or the disruptions at GOP & Dem town halls. But there are differences 1/3

This is 24 hours apart. Never forget this. They are liars. Their resistance is fake. They want to be powerless so they can reap the rewards of pretending to resist while risking nothing and attempting nothing. They are the reason the country is where it is and we won't be safe until they're gone.

NEWS: Last night, the Department of Homeland Security detained a Palestinian who helped lead the Columbia encampment. Agents told him his visa was revoked. He said he had a green card. They were confused—then said that was revoked too. His attorney demanded a warrant. Agents hung up instead.

My latest: "The more often we have experienced true helplessness, the more likely we are to feel powerless in situations where action is possible. And the more we freeze or flail in response to threats, the more deeply ingrained those responses become."

A new McCarthy era is upon us. Stupid, depressing, and dangerous as ever. I wonder whose name will carry the dunce cap in the history books. Too many are complicit. I’ll need to find upset and action, but for now I’m feeling grief at the dehumanization inherent to all this.

in the sumeru AQ finale i always find it so ominous when our team kettles the akademiya guards into the grand bazaar. in a more politically realistic story, it 100% wouldve ended with our guys committing the kind of massacre that gets its own wikipedia page + truth and reconciliation commission

My first and definitely last time working with the Los Angeles Times. Editing out the most urgent point of an OpEd in the minutes before sending to press while then also assigning a title and image that suggest an argument entirely opposite to the author’s clear intent is pretty shitty.

Chicago Legal Responders Network has produced a series of short videos about what to do if ICE shows up at your house, stops you while driving, etc. Available in Spanish and English. Please share with those who may find them useful. Here's what to do if they show up at your house.

One of the worst aspects of social media is that when people haven't heard of something before they'll say it's "academic" or "inaccessible" or "theory" when in fact folks have been talking about said thing in MULTIPLE popular contexts for years. Also theory can be useful.
