Fake & Christian are two words that can be interchanged in any context. A tautology. Christians voted for Don. Christians committed treason w/CitizensUnited for him too. Christianity is a racket that does NOT help the public, it steals from them by lying. It’s anti-democratic, pro-crypto-fascist.

Different uniforms. Same kneeling man. Same rifles. Same state telling the world this is order. History does not repeat politely. It reuses its favorite methods. If you think this is exaggerated, you are standing in the second photo.

Alex Pretti "used to tell people off when they made sexist comments to female physicians. He bought me coffee when I had a really bad day as an intern...I laughed alongside him daily. He made a point to teach medical residents without judgement, but with a smile on his face and a joke."

ICE agents are America's failures, basically indistinguishable from lazy school shooters, losers who want to play Call of Duty on our streets against people who can't fight back. They have unlimited ammo and toss tear gas like they're pressing L1. They have to be defunded and jailed. All of them.

Section 1-16.200 of the DOJ Manual on use of force regulations governing federal police makes it even more clear that the killing in Minneapolis was murder. The DOJ manual prohibits discharging a weapon under those circumstances.

I'm kinda shocked that the steroid poisoned incompetents at the justice department didn't delete that already. By the standards of this policy paper that ICE officer committed murder.

Using imagery online of the shooting by an ICE agent in Minneapolis, we’ve created an animated sequence which highlights the approximate positioning of officers and vehicles at the scene. The red dot represents the agent who fired the shots. Yellow dots are other agents who arrived at the scene.

Ask any cyclist how many people they would have to shoot if they shot every driver that moved a car towards them. How about pedestrians in any city where cars turn right on lights without even looking. Do we shoot those drivers too? If it sounds insane that's because it is.

When the streets start telling the truth, it’s because the institutions won’t. What’s become painfully obvious is that ICE agents aren’t trained to make us safer. They’re just recruits who thirst for power, violence, and cruelty. [street art from around the country]

schopenhauer on stephen miller and every other fascist degenerate
The cheapest sort of pride is national pride; for if a man is proud of his own nation, it argues that he has no personal qualities of his own of which he can be proud; otherwise he would not have recourse to those which he shares with so many millions of his fellowmen. The man who is endowed with significant individual merits will be only too ready to see clearly in what respects his own nation falls short, since their failings will be constantly before his eyes. But every miserable fool who has nothing at all of which he can be proud adopts, as a last resource, pride in the nation to which he belongs; he is ready and glad to defend all its faults and follies tooth and nail, thus reimbursing himself for his own inferiority.

Drivers: I know you think you’re doing cyclists a favour by stopping & waving us through an intersection while you’ve got right of way, but you really aren’t. You’re being unpredictable and screwing up the flow of traffic for everyone and just causing further delays for us to safely cross. Stop it.

Over the next few days, balmily warm temperatures will occur across western North America, including California (where temperatures into the 90s are likely in SoCal). Some record warm daytime temperatures are possible, & notably warm overnight temperatures will continue as well.
Snapshot of surface temperature anomaly pattern as depicted by the ECMWF ensemble early next week. It shows an near-record warmth in the west, with near-record cold in the east, for mid-Nov.

Something that hasn't been discussed much with the passage of #Prop50: VAST swathes of California have reps who don't give a shit about the people in their districts. I'm way up in #CA01 and I'm giddy at the thought of a rep who'll care about the housing and healthcare problems up here.
