the concept of due process becomes real muddled when the state can snatch you from being a legal observer, or from attending a music festival, or for providing mutual aid, charge you with terrorism, & leave you in legal limbo for 2 years. which is what’s happening to 61 people in the Cop City RICO!

“Since the start of her tenure in 2018, the head of the Office of Inspector General (OIG), Lisa Judge, appears to have misused public funds by deducting money from her office’s general fund to pay to park her private vehicle in a City-owned parking space.”

One of the worst analyses of Sinners I’ve read—completely missing how the film explores Irish colonization, forced assimilation into Western whiteness, & the Irish vampires’ attempt at appropriation as trying to find lost cultural connection. Vampirism was a symbol for whiteness, not white people.

A snippet from a Sinner review that reads: “Among the film’s welter of ideas is that cultural cross-fertilization equals appropriation or theft — that Blues music would have remained “pure,” if not for those evil white spirits, as represented here by, yes, Irish-Celtic folk music, whose artists stole the Blues from Black People for purely selfish ends.”

Self-identifying as a centrist is perhaps the most cynical and amoral political identity you can have because you're just openly admitting your beliefs aren't really beliefs they're just strategic positions that only exist relative to others in the room you happen to be in

Hasan Piker’s ICE detainment is a cautionary tale for multiple reasons
