watching the videos out of bay ridge, brooklyn, today of NYPD beating the shit out of protesters it’s unbelievable how many cameras there were. cops assaulting people in broad daylight on camera and they keep going because our leaders have made it clear they’ll never suffer a single consequence.

Executive pay is no longer tied to performance but to shareholder enrichment. He's being rewarded for juicing the stock price in the short-term even while planes catch fire. This is a thing we could fix! This is a fixable thing! There are fixes we could do that would fix the thing we want to fix!

Killing a lib or a commie and getting away with it is a fantasy sold to the right by the gun industry, which also demands the law be shaped to make that fantasy a reality should someone choose to commit murder www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv... bsky.app/profile/adam...
Advertising guns for an imminent political conflict has reshaped American gun culture, enlarging a voting constituency that opposes all firearm restrictions, in part because its members dream about someday engaging in murderous political violence. This faction also demands that politicians shape the law so that they can do so with impunity.

That political pressure was bearing down on Abbott when he made the decision to request that the pardon board grant clemency to Perry. The injustice is that Perry was convicted of murder for killing someone who deserved to die because he was supporting a left-wing cause. The legal system built by decades of Republican dominance in Texas was meant to justify such killings, and when it failed to do so, the governor had to intervene. Facing prison time for shooting a political enemy would spoil the reverie sold to conservatives by their leaders and by the firearm industry—the promise that one day, they too could kill one of the barbarian horde and get

May 16, 1944, 600 Roma and Sinti staged an uprising at Auschwitz after they'd heard 6000 gypsies were about to be executed. They barricaded themselves in the barracks, armed with whatever they could find. Their resistence meant no gypsy died in camp that day. It's Roma Resistence Day. Opre Roma.

800,000 imprisoned people in the US produce $10 billion of value each year through their labor. $2 billion for private industry. The state of Alabama alone makes $450 million off the labor of incarcerated workers. We have a word for this. www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...
There are 800,000 incarcerated workers in the US, and they do roughly $10 billion worth of work a year, more than $2 billion of it for clients outside the prison system, according to a 2022 study by the American Civil Liberties Union and the University of Chicago. (The lawsuit estimates that the state of Alabama makes over $450 million off of prisoners’ labor.) “We wanted to bring an indictment against the entire system,” says one of the plaintiffs, Robert Earl Council, who goes by the moniker Kinetik Justice. That includes the companies they say profit from making inmates build auto parts, haul beer and ring up Big Macs, thanks to a system that ensures people deemed safe enough to work remain incarcerated and working on the cheap.

Even people trying to describe how bad things are keep making the USC thing sound less bad than it was. The valedictorian hadn't written a speech at all! She had not announced any plans to say anything about Palestinians! A mob of bigots decided her religion made her offensive and USC caved to it.
Screenshot of text:

The months since 7 October have seen shocking attacks on freedom of expression and assembly on campus. Even before the stunning display of police brutality in recent weeks, campuses have been home to canceled speakers and events, arbitrary disciplinary hearings, and outright censorship. [Highlighting begins] The University of Southern California has canceled its entire commencement ceremony rather than let its valedictorian, Asna Tabassum, deliver a message of Palestine solidarity in her speech. [Highlighting ends] Universities have suspended chapters of Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) and Jewish Voice for Peace, in decisions that PEN America has said are “united by a degree of opacity, in that university leaders have not been fully forthcoming in delineating how these student groups broke campus rules, or how the decision to suspend them was reached”.

"Let the record show that no one spoke up." (From today's K-12 antisemitism hearing in Congress) www.nytimes.com/2024/05/08/u...
The top Democrat on the panel, Representative Suzanne Bonamici of Oregon, accused Republicans of hypocrisy, pointing out that President Donald J. Trump spoke of “very fine people on both sides” after white supremacists marched in Charlottesville, Va., in 2017, chanting “Jews will not replace us.”

“If my colleagues cared about antisemitism, they would denounce and condemn these comments from the leader of their party,” Ms. Bonamici said. “Does anyone have the courage to stand up against that?”

After a pause, she said, “Let the record show that no one spoke up.”
