Definitely not a family of raccoons operating an old mannequin like a puppet, but possibly a colony of angry sentient cockroaches. Transphobes, racists, and all other weird bigots should fuck off.

Jews are targeted in shuls & online. Brown & Black people are abducted and sent to concentration camps. Muslims are openly targeted by politicians. Activists & journalists are targeted by the FBI. Trans & queer people are being outlawed. We are in this together. This is why solidarity matters.

It's really hard not to feel hopeless about the flood of disinformation, lies & manipulation we'll experience between now & the November election. Everyone's just got to try to keep fighting it: be skeptical, vet everything, *speak up* when friends/family share bad info, DO NOT rely on AI.

I really don't care about convincing disablist parents that they're factually wrong about vaccines. I care about denying them the power to medically neglect their kids because they're scared that the autism monster will sneak into their homes at night and steal their babies.

Measles is one of those nightmare diseases that, if it hadn't been killing people for hundreds of years, people would ABSOLUTELY be pushing conspiracy theories about right now. It's too nasty in too many different directions to seem natural. But oh, boy, it sure is.

1/ The US is losing its vaccine infrastructure. Before the US became a military power, we had to conquer infectious disease. That was key. When disease was controlled, we decoupled it from the military. That let us forget that infectious diseases threaten national security. We're about to learn why.

BREAKING: The House passed the so-called SAVE America Act which threatens to upend our freedom to vote. The bill could disenfranchise millions of eligible voters by requiring documents like passports or birth certificates to register to vote and forcing voter roll purges. The Senate must reject it.

I don’t mind Gallup leaving the individual politician polling game. But, if they’re getting out, they’d better stay out. Don’t come back in 3 years (or, after the mid-terms) with micro-polling of every Dem in power.

I want people to remember... When police get more money for "training" This is the kind of courses they take: www.thetrace.org/2020/06/warr...
Screenshot from the linked article: 

"Classes run the gamut of militarized policing, and are often taught by combat-tested former service members and SWAT officers. Blue Shield Tactical Systems’ “Tactical Knife Fighting,” teaches students over two days the fundamentals of “using a knife in a deadly force encounter.” Precision Rifle Workshop’s “50 BMG for Law Enforcement Course” teaches officers how to use a military sniper rifle in “unique applications,” like disabling vehicles. One company, Dynamic Solutions Training Group, is pioneering a new generation of police unit with its offerings: Law Enforcement Airborne. In a three day course last year, instructors certified the Greenville County Sheriff’s Office’s SWAT team to parachute from planes."

In the 1950s, white folks chose to close public swimming pools rather than share them with Black folks. In 2024 they chose to sacrifice the lives of some of their nearest and dearest rather than having a Black or Brown neighbor. Absolutely fucking WILD set of values.

How I know Black people know white people better than we know ourselves: Black people said we would set our privileges on fire rather than extend them to everyone. Now we have evidence. In 2024, white folks voted away our privilege of not being shot by the government. Equity woulda been easier.

People are right to be incensed, but there are more names to uplift. ICE killed an immigrant man named Silverio Villegas González in Chicagoland. He had children. Victor Manuel Diaz was kidnapped in Minneapolis and died in ICE custody on January 14. Their names deserve to be repeated, too.

Everybody's not coming. You just get a critical mass. Everyone's not part of the collective making change, everyone doesn't want to be & some never will. There's no point building with republicans. A lot of white folks will never get over whiteness to be useful. We just build power with who we can.

I still remember Ma telling me five years ago that if these insurrectionists on January 6th were Black, then they would be dead. Five years later, they are almost all alive, out of jail, and their guy is back in the White House. If that’s not White privilege, then I don’t know what is.

They’re against democratic legitimacy, which is premium-grade legitimacy; but they’re against nationalist legitimacy, communist legitimacy and even royalist legitimacy. They want to rule unaccountably, and they are opposed to any theory that could hold them to account.

Not a single Trump voter was "duped" or "lied to" about Trump's positions. He didn't run on anything other than hate and vengeance. He didn't have detailed policies on "bringing down the price of eggs". Everyone that voted for him knew that & didn't care.
