what do you know the most predicable thing happened when a bunch of you decided lolcow farming was ok when you do it
lastditchbar on instagram:

Our community should expect more details in
the future. Today we need to address the safety
of the community itself. Stop harassing Soe
Noire. It is neither productive, progressive, nor
valiant to attack and harass a black patron. He
has been a collaborator and performer of Last
Ditch for a while, and he deserves to speak his
mind about accountability and repair from the
bar. There are so many misconceptions due to
the disorganization of the Globe's article. He did
not call for a shutdown, nor did he call for the
bar to be firebombed. Further, he did not
disparage the owner for being homeless. As a
result of this abysmal journalism, Soe has been
getting additional threats, slurs, and
harassment, and now he is being reported to the
police over something he did not do. This is not
supporting us at Last Ditch, and it is at its core,
anti-blackness hysteria.

Here’s how the shitty technology adoption curve works: when you want to roll out a new, abusive technology, look for a group of vulnerable people whose complaints are roundly ignored and subject them to your bad idea. Sand the rough edges off on their bodies and lives. Normalize the technological abuse you seek to inflict.

Next: work your way up the privilege gradient. Maybe you start with prisoners, then work your way up to asylum seekers, parolees and mental patients. Then try it on kids and gig workers. Now, college students and blue collar workers. Climb that curve, bit by bit, until you’ve reached its apex and everyone is living with your shitty technology

I can now understand why that white lady asked Malcolm X what she could do to help, and brother Malcolm said "nothing". He admitted later that that was too harsh, but the oppressed cannot let themselves stay in a position where they have to rely on the good will of the privileged.

As I've said before, the compromise was "transmedicalism" - the test was to alter your body sufficiently to pass (or at least show you're Making An Effort). But that's not tenable any more because the transphobes have shifted it to chromosomes - to the idea that "sex" just cannot be changed.

On 9/11, school was dismissed at noon. My mother came to collect me because the school bus wasn't running. We went home and watched the television all day and all night. The next day I returned to school. Everyone was sad except a certain group of young boys in the corner of my form class. They were celebrating like it was the greatest day of their lives. I will never forget.

Realizing the extent to which this is true wildly changed my opinions about how to deal with Trumpism, since they're never going to be satisfied unless they're actively dominating everyone else. You can't give them some concessions and go back to the status quo: they're reactionary revolutionaries.

It was physically degrading. It was frightening. I don't think I've ever been frightened like that before. I was weeping like an old woman for an hour. I wouldn't wish it on anyone."

This is pretty fucking wild. I had assumed in a worst case scenario he would target blue zip codes and toss ballots based on technicalities but this is even worse than I imagined.
Not only is this system astonishingly untested, USPS has simultaneously implemented an
impracticable zero percent failure rate.
13 When ballots are submitted to USPS in large-volume
batches, if any one ballot in the batch cannot be verified against the Portal, all ballots in that
batch will be rejected. For example, if a state election official brings a batch of 10,000 ballots to
USPS and USPS is unable to match just one of those ballots against the Portal – because, for
example, someone has recently changed their name after marriage or they’ve moved – then
USPS would refuse to mail the remaining 9,999 ballots as well. As the whistleblower notes,
