All talk of “inadequate training” is justification for more ICE funding and anyone using that framing is full of shit.

Good morning. They're going to sell you the lie of provocateurs. margaretkilljoy.substack.com/p/theyre-goi...

Once you understand that you're dealing with murderous liars, you stop entertaining what they say as possibly credible and legitimate. The fight against them is about stopping them from terrorizing and killing by any means, not winning debates about your reality versus theirs.

We all just watched an agent of the law shoot a woman multiple times in the face while she was observing and complying WITH THE LAW. Why are there calls for more lawfulness?

Respect Alice Wong’s call here: “When I am in public spaces and see most people unmasked either because they think the virus is a hoax, that masking is virtue signaling & a sign of weakness, aren't thinking about it, or that they simply don’t care, I feel like an expendable burden not worth saving.”

COVID Isn’t Going Anywhere. Masking Up Could Save My Life.

The New York Times obit for Alice Wong doesn’t mention Covid or Gaza It ignores two of her biggest causes because of political bias Alice fought tirelessly for Covid mitigations She fought for the people of Gaza She rightfully reminded us that the genocide in Gaza is a disability justice issue

the most important thing to remember when you see eugenicists who don’t believe that autistic people should exist rambling about “the autism epidemic” is not that they’re wrong about the “cause” (although they are absolutely wrong about it); it’s that they are eugenicists

If you want to stop "seeing porn everywhere" stop banning adult sites. Sex workers wouldn't be advertising nearly as much on social media, and consumers wouldn't be sharing their favorite clips as often if we were allowed to have spaces for sexual content without being criminalized/surveilled

"they are going to use this against us." where you been, they are murdering black people in the streets for selling CDs, they are rounding up hispanic people for being at a home depot, they are sending people to foreign torture prisons for tweeting about Palestine. The terrain is SHIFTED

Today the people decrying political violence tell you which lives are worth mourning. The millions of systemically manufactured deaths at the hands of the state are not given this weight. Those deaths— our deaths— are expected and necessary for their power and resource accumulation.

You ever think to yourself “a goth gf could fix me”? 🕯️ CHICAGO 🕯️ Sept 24-30

Australia's decision to require age/identity verification, including facial scans, in order to do a Google search is dystopian. We're watching the death of an open, anonymous internet, and the gradual takeover of information online by the state — under the guise of protecting children.

Australia is quietly rolling out age checks for search engines like Google

Just as Australians are adjusting to the idea of having their ages checked for social media, age assurance rules are being applied to search engines and many other corners of the internet.

I don't typically talk about stuff like this, but Annie Rose Malamet is a serial abuser who, after being exposed, made some vague noises about accountability and then fled to LA where she's now operating under a new name with no apparent lessons learned. I would strongly advise steering clear of her

Over the past two decades, this little-known tent company went from helping to support music festivals like Lollapalooza to building camps for a completely different use: detaining immigrants at the U.S.-Mexico border. Now it's hoping to cash in on Trump’s deportation plans. (Published April)

From Lollapalooza to Detention Camps: Meet the Tent Company Making a Fortune Off Trump’s Deportation Plans

The privately held company Deployed Resources has made billions running tent detention facilities to hold immigrants entering the U.S. at the border. Now it is cashing in again on Trump’s plan to…

Wild how being somewhat cute and having too much unsanctioned sex will have bigots and so-called leftists foaming at the mouth to have you fed into their wet dream of a carceral apparatus.

What's happening to libraries in Florida should frighten everyone. Spurred on by Moms For Liberty, the AG is threatening librarians with felonies for stocking LGBTQ+ books and overruling established processes for removing "harmful" material. It's a full on censorship campaign by the government.

Florida school boards are weighing the state’s push to bypass standard reviews to remove controversial books.

non-white dude and that shit is fucking Hideous. Like you can take whatever position you want on open carrying alone at protests, I don't think it's a great idea but like you don't deserve to be fucking shot by the Peace Police for it fuck that. Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

I don't know exactly what happened at the Salt Lake City No Kings protest but it sure as fuck looks like a Peace Police motherfucker saw a brown person with a gun, lost their shit, straight up murdered Arthur Folasa Ah Loo, and shot the dude accused of "drawing his Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

Yall really glossed over the fact that the victim was killed by armed security guard you hired. And the fact that the shooting only happened because the security guard you hired decided to fire on a PoC who you then scapegoated and handed over to the police.

We're sad to announce that today a peaceful protestor was killed at the No Kings march. To everyone who stayed calm, protected one another, and got people home safe, thank you. To the medics, safety team, and first responders, thank you. And to the protestor we lost: we won’t forget you.

This morning, the national 50501 account posted a statement on Bluesky praising the actions of their "volunteer member of the protest safety team", calling the shooting victim a "depraved and disturbed domestic terrorist." They have since deleted their post and have not issued a followup statement
