Sad truth: they are indeed trying to use the **exact same** playbook to manufacture consent for this war. Uplifting truth: there wasn't social media then. Public response to this is SO MUCH different than back then. Don't underestimate how important it is that they can't control the narrative now.

So, allies, here’s the best thing for you to do if you encounter bigot protesters at Pride. Take them aside and ask them to teach you about Jesus.

It’s like saying “desegregation now!” was a bad catch phrase. Well yeah it was scary to a lot of people and faced a lot of resistance and backlash, and even moderates were initially freaked out by the demand to reorder their society, does that make the demand wrong *or* ineffective? Nope nope nope.

These aren't Trump abductions, these are ICE abductions. ICE - under both parties - and border agents everywhere kidnap people, separate them from loved ones, jail them under torturous conditions & expel them. Also, these aren't "third world gulags', border violence is perfected in imperial core.

one consequence of a nation not reckoning with its founding as a genocidal slave state is, genocide and slavery keep popping out over the years. RFK Jr is a current example of this. "put the ADHD kids on work farms," he says, "and let preventable illnesses take out any unhealthy ones". it's not new!

if Trump doesn't consent to be governed by a court order, that's his call. but he shouldn't be surprised when millions no longer consent to be governed by Trump.

Guys, I love all of you, but the answer to RFK, Jr. is not that autistic adults hold jobs, pay taxes, and get laid, it's that everyone deserves to live even if they can't work, pay taxes, or get laid.

I know you aren't going to want to hear this but the reason the system can deport Mahmoud Khalil and send Kilmar Abrego Garcia to El Salvador is that for years we've been executing factually innocent people like Marcellus Williams and sending legally innocent people to places like Riker's Island.

NEW: Tufts files a declaration in support of Rümeysa Öztürk: "The University has no information to support the allegations that she was engaged in activities at Tufts that warrant her arrest and detention." www.tufts.edu/president/sp...
4. With her consent, the University can confirm that Ms. Oztürk is a third-year doctoral student in good academic and administrative standing. Her research focuses on how young adults can use social media in positive, prosocial ways and she is described by her faculty as a hard-working student dedicated to her studies and the Tufts community. The University has no information to support the allegations that she was engaged in activities at Tufts that warrant her arrest and detention. The University has seen an outpouring of support for Ms. Öztürk over the last week from Tufts students, faculty and staff. These individuals have described Ms. Öztürk as a valued member of the community, dedicated to her academic pursuits and committed to her colleagues.

mr beast tweet reads: I have a pilot living in a $2,500,000 private jet and if he doesn’t leave for 100 days he keeps it, a cop/criminal in a jail and if they don’t leave for 100 days they win $500,000, and someone living in a gym until he loses 100 pounds for $500,000. Can’t wait to upload these 🥰

If there's one thing that domestic violence research has taught me, it's that abusers set up no-win scenarios. They punish you whether you cooperate with them or whether you push back. The only way out is to strengthen ties with people outside of the relationship who can create new, better options.
