The president of the United States is threatening to strip the citizenship away from an American who says things he does not like.
And our media will invariably present this not as a major crisis, an impeachable offense that must lead to his immediate removal, but as “a spat” between Don & Rosie
So a major entity advocating for it twigged my newly-developing COINTELPRO BS senses.
Leftist organizers smarter than I have pointed out how dangerous & divisive that advice is on several fronts (tripping/trampling risk of suddenly sitting down, wasting energy self-policing instead of focusing on actual goals & threats, mob mentality turning on individuals, etc).
Hypoautonomic didn't point out the thing that raised my eyebrows recently: altnationalparks' reposting of the proposal that peaceful protests have monitors with vests & whistles, to get everyone to sit down so the cops will "take out their aggression" on the instigators/bad actors.
Read through most of the linked thread. They have some good points & some iffy ones about what may be going on & who may be running things.
As multiple commented pointed out, altnationalparks' impact has been largely positive. they've been good at motivating engagement.
How many times did we fucking tell you. You gave up on wearing masks. You let them demonize masks. So they got to write the rules. And the rules are cops “discretion” is that disabled people should be arrested. Because when ableds get to decide who is actually disabled, we lose. Every time.
leftists: that thing you teach us in school to be terrified of is happening
historians: that thing is definitely happening
star wars: here is a beat-for-beat breakdown of how the thing happens, but with pew pew lasers. we know you watched it
news outlets: these protesters are out of control
Breaking News: The CDC kept Covid shots on an updated vaccination schedule for children, days after Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said they would be taken off.
The wrong ICE is melting The wrong Amazon is burning
Sign of the day…
Blessed (belated) Beltane. Have some beauty from my garden ❤️🌱
We have a majority of the country agreeing that the American president "is a dangerous dictator."
If only there had been warning signs before the election... 😐
REPORTER: Amazon will soon display a number next to the price of each product that shows how much the Trump tariffs are adding. Isn't that a perfect demonstration that it's the American consumer who is paying for these policies?
LEAVITT: This is a hostile and political act by Amazon.
newly back in the Bay after a phenomenal trip to Iceland to celebrate surviving cancer. ❤️
I was enjoying this beautiful sunset at the Albany Shorefront & it fully, deeply hit me that I don't have chemotherapy tomorrow. Gods willing, I won't ever have it again.
I'm so so grateful.
Last chemo was last week. I'm not officially cancer free until the PET scan results in another couple weeks, but gods willing, the hard part is over.

1. Today the NIH director issued a new directive slashing overhead rates to 15%.
I want to provide some context on what that means and why it matters.
