and they’re usually not that brilliant and careful either. 99％ of the time the police are just incompetent! Ted Bundy literally jumped out a window and escaped police custody because they weren’t watching him

A victim literally escaped Jeffrey Dahmer’s apartment naked with a hole drilled in his head and unable to speak but police let Dahmer take him back to his apartment like everything was ok!

And I guess he doesn’t count as a serial killer but Eric Harris had already been making threats and harrassing students to an extreme degree before Columbine- police literally had a search warrant but they just never acted on it. If they had, they would have found the guns and pipe bombs and the shooting could have been easily prevented. They even tried to cover this up afterwards.

Serial killers and mass murders are usually not that smart, police have just historically refused to do their actual jobs.

[hooray4skeleton]

always remember that the “genius serial killer” narrative is a blatant cover for the fact that the police will always look the other way when it comes to white cis men exhibiting blatantly violent and hateful behavior

[mosscoveredcorpse]

Important to remember that people like Jeffrey dahmer targeted minorities because cops did not care about violence against them. It’s not just cops being incompetent, it’s the systematic violence, racism, classism, transphobia, and homophobia in the police system

Perhaps we need to revisit a bit of American history from post-civil war up to the1920s and 1930s. This was the period of the Robber Barons, the Rockefellers, J.J. Hill, the DuPonts, JP Morgan, etc. and Standard Oil, US Steel and other monopoly businesses and banks. It was unbridled capitalism with little or no regulation or other controls. Authors like Upton Sinclair were describing conditions in the slaughter houses and other work places. Women were demonstrating and protesting seeking to get the right to vote. Workers were predominately immigrants (no immigration laws like today) living in horrid conditions with poor pay, long working hours and workweeks. Immigrants especially on the East Coast were predominately European or Eastern European - Italians, Swedes, Finns, Danes, Norwegians, people from the Balkans. Many stayed in and around the larger cities like New York, Philadelphia, etc. whereas many moved to the Midwest to farm or the Lake States to mine or work in the woods. On the West Coast, Chinese workers were imported to work on and develop railroads and working mines or in mining camps. It is important to remember that much of the Southwestern US was part of Mexico for several centuries so there has long been a significant Hispanic/Latino population and influence there.

It was during this period that public pressure was developing to break up the monopolies, improve working conditions and pay, regulate banks, improve workplace safety, tackle the power of political bosses (Tammany Hall in NYC) and political corruption. Populist movements developed in the Midwest and states like Wisconsin. A lot of New Deal legislation and programs were influenced by events during this period.

More than a few similarities with today's environment. Biggest difference may be the lack of a fascist or facist leaning government even though there were active Fascist movements in the US after WWI and to WWII and beyond. Now we face a fascist leaning federal government, an extremely conservative Supreme Court favoring the rights of coroprations and the rich over the general population.

not only to block it, but to "take whatever measures are necessary" to do so which as we know when interpreted by the IOF typically means raining down hellfire indiscriminately. another translated from hebrew banger.

2015 - Here are some gifs of Donald Trump being attacked by a bald eagle named Uncle Sam, literally the least patriotic thing that can happen to an American. [video]

[kedreeva]

I’m reblogging this again because I finally realized why this is so funny to me, as a bird person.

In the first gif, what you’re seeing is a man who has zero idea how to handle a bird. That’s a heavy bird, and he’s got his arm stretched out as far as it will go in an attempt to keep the bird away from his face. What that does is create unstable footing for Uncle Sam. The handler is there trying to hold up Trump’s arm, but the bird has already realized it needs to leave or it will fall. In the first gif the bird is not attacking Trump- it is trying to get away from him so it doesn’t get hurt.

In the second gif, what we see is a bird that remembers what just happened and is blaming Trump for it. Uncle Sam sees Trump reach for its tether, and makes a lunge at Trump’s hand to keep him away. The bird /does not/ want to hang out with Trump because it has learned that Trump has no idea what he is doing.

Uncle Sam is rejecting Trump based on Trump’s proven inability to properly handle Uncle Sam. And that is both hilarious and beautiful.

Good bird.

The Occupation has systematically destroyed every social infrastructure that makes civil society possible, whether it be healthcare, food systems, or education. They've targeted schools, hospitals, businesses, and every person who supports their community through their profession.

Rana and Ahmed (@ranafam2) are educators from Khan Younis, with Rana as a statistics professor at the Islamic University of Gaza and Ahmed as the principal of his school: both institutions have now been destroyed.

Palestinians have survived occupation for well over a century now, and they will remain steadfast, but they need your support.

Even with the ceasefire, resources are still limited and expensive. The weekly allowance for basic provisions like baby formula and flour is about $1000. Rana is also anticipating additional costs for baby formula, clothes, and natal care as she's eight months pregnant and expecting soon.

Finally with the ceasefire, Rana is hoping to evacuate with her family altogether. The cost of evacuation per person ranges from $5000 to $7000. If Rana gives birth before she can evacuate, that puts the total anticipated cost at $49,000 (5 children, 2 adults).

As of today (1/23), we are at:

$8185/$100,000

$0/$1500 <- Weekly provisions

$0/$2400 <- Daily goal to reach $49,000 in three weeks

Donate here.

I know these are overwhelming numbers, but if every person who shared this post donated $5, we can get them to safety.

If deportation forces aren’t currently swarming your streets that much but might soon be doing more of this (looking at Europe here), consider practicing on cops and public transport checks. How long can you keep a cop busy by arguing about minor things? That’s time he can’t spend harassing homeless people. How long can you try to find the ‘lost ticket’ that was in your pocket all along? If it’s enough to get to the train or bus to the next stop, it’ll allow those without tickets to make an escape and avoid a fine.

Doing this a lot will make you much better at it and will put a little good into the world on a daily basis.

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

am taking perverse pleasure in reminding people it's 2025. that's a star trek year. silly little science fiction number. except it's happening, and DANG ain't it underwhelming!

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

for Gen Z folks who didn't live through it:

the late 2000s to mid 2010s were culturally, a time of a resurgence of hope. I don't think we seriously realized it at the time (for all the Obama campaign posters), but it honestly was the last period in recent history where it was assumed the future would be better.

that was a big thing, that many millennials didn't realize was a big thing, until it was torn away. we honestly thought it was over, the fear and uncertainty of the Cold War and the Nuclear Age (and Bush 2.0). we were born in an era of reprieve. things were bad, yes, the world was insane and unfair, but it was better than it was before. the world had been at the brink of ultimate disaster, and then it stepped back. (And we honestly thought we had escaped our parents' legacy, by sheer virtue of being born in the correct decade.)

I cannot overstate how much that shapes your worldview, growing up in a time where the recent present is better than the recent past. we had reason to believe the world was getting better. because it was, actually! for a good while there! progress was slow, but it was real, and we could feel its grit on our fingertips.

and now we're in an age of regression. because you were robbed. we were robbed. a great global era of robbery (of housing and food and time and health and body and freedom and fundamental human rights), has blossomed, and is happening everyday today.

be furious. they will steal the teeth from your gums.

There’s this guy that sits in front of me who you would think is a conservative redneck bc his entire aesthetic is southern lumberjack w boots and denim and hats but he’s actually one of the most inclusive and anti trump guy I’ve ever met and today he wore this hat that sums up his entire personality and I’m screaming.

Don’t judge a book by its cover; make cornbread, not war.

[twistedingenue]

Hey, this is the  motto of the Southern Foodways Alliance, and among other things, they have an AMAZING podcast called Gravy, which ‘shares stories of the changing American South through the foods we eat’. You  like this hat. Listen to that podcast. You’ll be happy.

[ohcoolaslug]

Y'all need to stop being surprised by the radicalism in The South. The idea that Southerners are inherently more backwards is steeped in classism and ableism and erases all the awesome work marginalized folks are doing out there

August 20, 2024 - If you want to help out the activists who have been physically interrupting the flow of weapons to the fascist Israeli state by attacking and occupying arms factories and businesses linked to them, you can donate to Palestine Action's Legal Defence Fund here: https://palestineaction.org/defence-fund/

[kropotkindersurprise]

If you'd rather donate to Palestinians, you could donate to one of the following groups who are directly helping out the people in Gaza: UNRWA - United Nations org providing food, medicine and shelter to refugees in Palestine Gaza Municipality - Struggling to keep Gaza livable during this genocide by trying to restore access to water and keep waste management and sewage systems working eSims for Gaza - Provide internet access to Gazans so they can keep contact with eachother and the outside world

If you've got some extra cash, nothing's stopping you from donating to all of them, of course :3

[kropotkindersurprise]

Saw this post was going around again without the second part. Please keep donating to organisations that help Palestinians directly.

Some more good options: UNICEF Gaza appeal Palestine Children's Relief Fund Palestinian Red Crescent

[kropotkindersurprise]

Palestine still needs our help!

Here's some smaller initiatives that you can donate to for those who like that sorta thing, but remember that larger orgs can usually do more with the same amount of money! (which is why I dont reblog personal fundraisers)

Americans, did you know there were mass protests all across the country over Super Bowl weekend?

Coast-to-coast, from DC...

... to Portland

... from blue states

... to red states

And nary but *crickets* from the national media. The revolution is NOT being televised, it is being suppressed. 

Just remember, you are NOT alone. People ARE doing things. You will meet those people when YOU start doing things.

But we cannot rely on the courts alone. Trump is already defying numerous restraining orders, and the Executive branch controls the enforcement arm of federal law (U.S. Marshals Service).

When Trump inevitably refuses to comply with the courts and directs the DOJ/U.S. Marshals to stand down, effectively neutering the Judicial branch of the government, it will signal THE END OF U.S. DEMOCRACY.

Our only recourse will be to take to the streets. WE THE PEOPLE, need to demand rule of law by asserting our First Amendment right to assemble while we still have it.
