Imagine seeing a dozen small containers of milk and thinking have uncovered a conspiracy. Wait till they see the snack table at a kid's birthday party.

Seattleites went looking for this mystery group of armed Proud Boys who were supposedly aiming to confront them, however they didn't exist. It was totally fake.
The objective was to scare protesters away from the Precinct. However instead of leaving, protesters armed themselves.

Seattle Police, under Grenon's oversight, then broadcast over official public safety radio a completely fictitious scene of a group of armed proud boys planning to confront Black Lives Matter protesters:

HAPPENING NOW - The “Traffic Jam for Peace” on I-5 North passing Boeing Field and will exit on Edgar Martinez Way with a rally across from T-Mobile Park. This kicks off the City of Seattle’s 100 Days of Peace to address gun violence in the Emerald City.

Guys, this is the Real Thing. You can see why I’ve been silent for some time now. Because I didn’t quite know how to say it any harder than I used to say it. So now here we are. And the first lesson is: you gotta understand this is real deal fascist collapse.

Thank god this would NOT happen during a Joe Biden presidency in a state ran by a Democrat governor in a town with a Democrat mayor with 2 senators who are democrats.

we will have to get guerilla with our tactics and move away from representation and celebrity/clout chasing if we truly want change. when confronted with the possibility that you might lose everything, including your life, how would you fight? what/who would you protect? 12/n

we must be asking ourselves and our students what we are willing to sacrifice and move from that empowered space. we are not only fighting /for/ our lives; we are fighting /with/ them. the tools and technologies of our enemies are different now. tactics must change. 11/n

anyway, I say all this to say: how are we preparing for the reality that mass arrests and protests are psychologically & physically violent b/c protestors are facing militaries with massive budgets and unchecked power? what will be the aftermath for ALL of us? 8/n

This country never recovered from losing Michael Crichton. We used to have novels about shooting cyborg gorillas in the face with machine guns and when you got done reading it you knew how an MRI machine worked
This week I got more than 2-billion points in a game of Marvel Snap, and also Covid for the first time.

My TL is full of conservatives who don't understand how Affirmative Action worked.
Three points
1. The demographic that benefitted MOST from AA—more than Black, Latino, & Asians COMBINED—are white women.

The facts don't lie. The movement to repeal Affirmative Action, or ban DEI (as dozens of states have), or demonize CRT—was never about merit & was never about qualifications. It was always about reviving Jim Crow white supremacy.
And the scary part is—so far—it's working.
4/4

Begging these people to go to a library and see what folks actually do in there.
Libraries are Kinko’s for people who don’t have any money.
You can use scanners, send faxes, and print stuff for free. Believe it or not, poor people need and use this stuff.
