i think it is ok to reiterate that the victim as a us citizen. yes, noncitizens are equally entitled to human rights. but also, it's important to illustrate how ice isn't about immigration at all

In Florida, “free speech” and “institutional neutrality” mean that a Nazi arguing that nonwhites have no rights wins a prize while a course with “race” in the title is censored for violated the law.
Congratulations to all the credulous centrists who helped this along.

"Violence" in Social Movements • 111 They Will Call You Violent If your tactics disrupt the order of things under capitalism, you may well be accused of violence, because "violence" is an elastic term often deployed to vilify people who threaten the status quo. Conditions that the state characterizes as "peaceful" are, in reality, quite violent. Even as people experience the violence of poverty, the torture of im-prisonment, the brutality of policing, the denial of health care, and many other violent functions of this system, we are told we are experiencing peace, so long as everyone is cooperating. When state actors refer to "peace," they are really talking about order. And when they refer to "peaceful protest," they are talking about cooperative protest that obediently stays within the lines drawn by the state. The more uncooperative you are, the more you will be accused of aggression and violence. It is therefore imperative that the state not be the arbiter of what violence means among people seeking justice.

Entire podcasts were dedicated to the question of what JK Rowling has ever done that’s transphobic. She has openly been working toward this outcome for years.
Woodworking by Emily St. James
Holy shit its book time, that's right its the time when I'm reading a book 🤯 specifically the latest from @emilystjams.bsky.social
I started this two days ago offline and I'm about 50 pages in, enjoying it so far.
a scene from the good place roast where the gang is trying to figure out Michael's clues.
I was really close to guessing the twist in Woodworking (by Emily St. James) and it suddenly feels like this 😅

I see a lot of "first they came for" quotes here that elide that this place never stopped coming for Black people and racism, segregation, and anti-Black propaganda lulled y'all into accepting contemporary forced labor.
American fascism looks like Jim Crow. Back people are not democracy asterisks!
