Hillary Clinton lost a winnable election to Donald Trump.
Barack Obama allowed Mitch McConnell to steal a SCOTUS seat.
Ruth Bader Ginsburg refused to retire during Obama's presidency.
Inexcusable.
society fucked up by letting dvds go out of style because streaming is not ownership, titles leave streaming services to end up on another (or leave streaming entirely) all the time and stuff gets edited out a lot too. physical media is so important i wish buying dvds and physically owning something could be “trendy” again because corporations have ruined streaming forever with their greed
The real tragedy is that streaming shouldn’t carry all this corporate bullshit with it in the first place. Ideally, all media could be streamed on a youtube-esque website without the barrier of copyright and monthly fees, controlled in horizontal fashion by the users of that site. The digitization of media is a pandora’s box in a sense, because things can be endlessly duplicated or streamed from anywhere with a near-zero material cost, and capitalists are desperately trying to use the state to enclose it so they can keep making profit. In a non/post-capitalist world, we could be actively celebrating the post-scarcity digitization of media, but we’re stuck in this crapsack world with the Disneys and the Amazons and such for the foreseeable future.
I am tired and so fucking done.
99 Senators passed a measure to punish any municipalities that defund the police with the sole exception of Bernie Sanders while agreeing to hire 100,000 police officers.
Corey Booker gave an impassioned speech and hugged a Republican from Tennessee across the aisle.
In one fell swoop, Defund the Police and prison abolition movements took a significant loss today and legislation written by Josh Hawley ensured that in order to get out of this brutal police state, electoralism is defunct. We can’t win by voting anymore. Black Lives Matter, in one swoop, is now on the same level as BDS.
No nuance. Just tears. I am trembling in anger now as I watched years of investment to help my community get out of the brutal boot of this American Justice System. I will not vote for any Democrat or Republican as long as my skin is dark and we remain persecuted people. You will never have my support as a black man.
Edit: misread an article. It was theatrical bullshit and every senator voted on it including Sanders about the non-binding resolution amendment about punishing cities that defund the police. Sanders didn’t support Hawley’s 100,000 police officer hiring amendment.
Regardless it’s fucked up. And now reblog this edition since now I am a journalist apparently.
“Chinga la Migra / Fuck the Border Patrol”
But we should still abolish the police, while we're here
what liberals mean when they say they’ll keep families together
For those who noticed this was 2019, here is stuff from march 2021.
Meet the new boss, same as the old boss.
Everyone in NYC got a screeching emergency alert telling us not to heat up our food. Yet all the commercial billboards, NYPD stations, and other utterly unnecessary utilities are left powered on. That’s class warfare, plain and simple.
Losing my mind remembering that pic chelsea manning posted of the extremely undercover and not at all obvious fbi agent who was tailing her after her release
what kind of sixth sense do american have to recognize fbi agents that easily
to paraphrase her, its always the shoes.
americans please explain to a foreigner, he looks like some random dude to me
1. They all have the same haircut, almost everybody in law enforcement and the military have the same haircut due to regulations.
2. They all wear the same shoes. Same boots, and same overpolished dress shoes.
3. They act different. Shifty eyed and always on their own.
4. They’re kinda really bad at their jobs. I’ve encountered plenty of “undercover” cops outside of bars that ask questions no regular person in their right mind would ever ask. “How are you getting home?” “Who did you come here with tonight?”
5. America is a police state on a budget. Most officers are poorly trained, fbi agents require a 4 year degree (I think), but lord knows how much training they actually get. And the dumb kids from your high school always become cops.
It’s always the dense as a brick kid, with something to prove that becomes a cop. The kid that mouth-breathed and couldn’t chew gum and walk at the same time.
Their shirts are never form fitting so they can conceal a weapon and cuffs.
Always look at the watch, it’ll be expensive but in neutral tones (uniform standards strike again).
They will always sit where they can see their target and the nearest exit.
They will have a partner who is less obvious but wil point a recording device (phone or camera) at you. Check elevated positions, it gives them the clearest view to track you and keep an eye on their partner at the same time.
One time when i lived in phoenix, I was driving home through residential streets from Panda Express on April 20th and there was a 40something year old white man standing quite literally in the MIDDLE of the fucking road wearing a brand new straight from the store weed jersey (jersey #420 with a big pot leaf), a wornout old raiders hat, regular-fit straight leg jeans, and cop shoes. This man proceeded to try to wave me down to stop since I was driving slowly (again, residential neighborhood) and as he did so fully yelled “You buying bro? You buying? 420 bro 420 you buying?”
I almost choked laughing so hard. I couldn’t stop myself from just yelling “NO THANK YOU OFFICER” as i drove by him.
for the past 60 years law enforcement, military, and even literal espionage/intelligence based organizations have assumed that rigid conformity to dress code was more important then actually training how to go undercover, blend in, or understand what the fuck theyre doing largely because the ‘we are infallible’ mindset is too strong for them to consider they might not be doing very good
shoutout to the two “undercover cops” who were at my school to monitor the student body for a week, acting like “substitute assistants” and literally all of the kids immediately recognised them as cops and everyone would address them only as “officer” which annoyed the hell out of them because “we aren’t cops” like sir you literally have your badge in your back pocket and a taser what fucking substitute assistant would have an actual police badge and a whole ass taser??
Just a casual reminder that this is what secret police are. Like, this is the literal definition. Police who are (badly or otherwise) pretending to not be police.
i know this has eight billion notes already but i love sharing these images
This thread reminds me of this story lol
From Tom Wolfe’s Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test:
I’m gonna go ahead and put a caveat here because undercover cops are easy to spot, but they recruit too. informants are harder to pin down and they are infinitely more effective. Red Fawn Fallis very likely had a gun planted on her at Standing Rock by her partner of a couple years who was an FBI informant. Fred Hampton was drugged and killed by COINTELPRO thanks to an informant in the Black Panthers. the US federal government, like any effective system, has lots of redundancy built in. yes, undercovers are easy to clock and avoid, but they are also essentially a lure to collect more valuable players. all it takes is busting the one person vulnerable enough to take a deal instead of prison time. feel free to ridicule, just don’t underestimate their potential to do damage if you find yourself near one.
