"This keeps happening" can quickly become "this always happens" and then "it's always been this way," until you're locked into a sense of permanence and inevitability that have been manufactured by the oppressor.

Of course, corruption is not exceptional or unheard of, but the normalization of corruption *as* governance, so that the two concepts become indistinguishable, is crucial to the fascist project. People have already begun to shrug off Trump's manipulation and extraction as par for the course.

The greatest gift we have is the gift of the imagination. Everything we now have was once imagined. We have a lot of wonderful, beautiful things in this life. Let us put our hopes into doing, making, creating. We can’t spiritually bypass our way into just praying for good.

No Healthy Person Wants To Rule The World Or Become A Billionaire The best of us live and die in relative obscurity, generally being subjected to scorn and derision from the ruling establishment the entire time. The worst of us become plutocratic demigods. www.caitlinjohnst.one/p/no-healthy...

This quote is not from this week...it's from 1975 about the post-WII period. You combine that with the political and xenophobic policing and deportations of the 1910s and 1920s, and you have a history of federal law enforcement that has always been dangerous. bookshop.org/p/books/the-...
"the bureau's self-imposed role as protector of the existing political and social order blurred the line bettween targeting criminal activity and constitutionally protected acts and advocacy."

We're in week 4 of the government shutdown. FAA air traffic controllers missed paychecks. Staffing issues are impacting flights. It's past time for Republicans to come to the table and negotiate a budget that will protect Americans' access to health care.

The charge is always "Palestinians want to destroy the State of Israel." The reality is, and always has been, that Israel wants to destroy any possibility of a Palestinian State and want to rid the entire area of Palestinians. THAT is the truth and has been from the outset.

A humble observation: if people protesting genocide and ethnic cleansing makes you "feel unsafe", then perhaps you are the fucking problem.

Mutual Aid is such a morale booster, it's such a community booster, it's such a spiritual experience (speaking as a Theravada Buddhist). Do it! Because, like, we're all in this together

Journalists are allowed to cover protests even after cops (often unlawfully) disperse protesters. This isn’t some radical position. Even the DOJ agrees. This case should’ve never been brought and the new DA in Multnomah County should clean up his predecessor’s mess and drop it now.
