Any time it feels difficult to do the right thing, to do the moral thing, that's a moment when you can spiritually measure the toxicity of the society you're embedded in. A healthy society would and should make it painless to be good and to speak truth and to help others and live in peace.
A big part of the "ICE and Border Patrol guys could never make it in the military or a real police force" rhetoric is just cope that allows folks to keep pretending that cops and military don't have large numbers of violent, sociopathic toolbags themselves. They do.
What happened in Minnesota today was not a mistake. It's a deliberate and inevitable outcome of ICE operations - part of the authoritarian script for state violence against citizens.
Regime thugs target minorities
Regime thugs kill protesters
Regime exploits larger protests to escalate repression
Also, may I say that I don’t agree with people saying ICE and CBP need “more training.” They’re doing exactly what this administration has trained them to—impose a reign of fear in blue cities. They don’t need more training. They need to be ripped up root and branch.
Stopping over in San Francisco for a few days, February 2-4. Show me around?

Anywhere but America.
I also don't understand this. I think of it as the intellectual equivalent of letting someone know that there's a little piece of salad stuck in their teeth. It's a courtesy! You'd rather just continue unwittingly embarrassing yourself with misinformation?? Couldn't be me.
Fairmont, St. Regis, and Four Seasons Embarcadero!

You should absolutely tell them! We need each other's help in navigating the degradation of our shared reality.

Sex workers have always been the vanguard of organizing outside of structures that are violently opposed to our safety and happiness.
We know so much about keeping ourselves safer in systems that want us harmed.
This is your reminder that you are already an expert.

Unfathomable. She looks like a botoxed 45 year old.
Feeling uncomfortable about something is not a morally superior stance. Disgust is not an inherently correct reaction to something, nor does it prove something's sinfulness. You can't consume your way into moral purity.
It needs to be said that by rebranding Charlie Kirk's views as moderate by both right wingers and liberal cowards resets the extremist views he held as normal and pushes the Overton window to the far right
I said something last week that is more broadly applicable today:
Calling for empathy is not neutral or apolitical when only one group of people have been socialized and brutalized into having empathy.
Here are some things that Charlie Kirk said in his life.
The man is dead, and so it only seems fair to share his legacy by cataloguing the values he spread while alive.
Weirdly enough, scientists now believe that humans flourished because we were *more* friendly and socially curious than the insular and suspicious neanderthals. Our survival has been predicated on our ability to connect with others, however imperfectly we've done it.
San Francisco! I'm visiting from Aug 15-18. Let's have some fun 😈

East Bay: I've got some availability on the evening of 8/3.
Let's get together ❣️
All famines are man-made, all famines are political. Historians of empire and humanitarianism have known this forever. Gaza is not starving, Gaza is being starved, by Israel, and this starvation is enabled by our government and by every other government that does not step in to force food and aid.
Where is this? Reminds me of the catacombs in Paris!
