Melania Trump Wore a Jacket That Says ‘I Really Don’t Care’ to the Border
https://www.thecut.com/2018/06/melania-trump-wears-i-really-dont-care-jacket-to-border.html

Her spokesperson actually said, “It’s a jacket. There was no hidden message. After today’s important visit to Texas, I hope the media isn’t going to choose to focus on her wardrobe.”

No, there was no hidden message. That's true. Hidden would mean it was something symbolic, such as wearing a brick ball printed jacket. This was in plain fucking sight.

If you haven't noticed by now, I don't give a _fuck_ about performing for allies.

One is on the side of equality or they are not. Period

If you're 'allyship' is based on my words making you feel good about your meager efforts to try and be a marginally decent person, we're not on the same side.

I'm not the guy to talk to if you need a pat on the head or your belly rubbed to inspire to you fight against hate.

If that's what you need, you're following the wrong person.

everest pipkin scraped all the metadata from freedomforimmigrants.org's detention center map into one big text file-- good for exact addresses (and other statistics)

https://pastebin.com/Z71SnJs2

this includes all detection centers, not just ICE facilities

OPEN THE MOTHERFUCKING BORDERS

@ghost plus, J20 protesters were charged with felonies without committing a single crime. turns out even following the law doesn't protect you from being targeted by the justice system

ProPublica has obtained smuggled audio from inside america's concentration camps for children.

wherein there are just uncountable numbers of small children crying and CBP officers make fun of them for it; joking "we have an orchestra." and a 6-year-old girl is given a choice between eating and calling her aunt to tell her where she is.

listen and feel your heart break. this is what's happening right now

Together with what happened with the #Aquarius, we can now officially say that #Fascism has come home!

"#Italy's new government plans to carry out a census of the Roma community with an eye to kicking out anyone staying in the country illegally, Interior Minister Matteo #Salvini said on Monday.

'Unfortunately we will have to keep the Italian #Roma because we can't expel them,' Salvini, who is head of the far-right League, told television station Telelombardia."

If a service dog approaches you by itself, it's trying to get you to follow it. I didn't know that until today but now I do!

customer service reps are underpaid emotional laborers whose main function is to apologise for lowkey corporate abuse of customers

If you hate cops and you choose to exercise your right to protest, mask the fuck up

I'm so serious

"Briar Rose, why aren't you at Pride?"

Last year:

* The trans march got physically attacked by neo-fascists and no one from the main Pride event even mentioned it
* I walked into Pride and saw a giant cop tent flying blues live matter flags pictured below
* After I left, a queer youth seeing the same cop tent flipped one of the cops tables over and was arrested to the cheers of other Pride participants

Honestly, the corporatism isn't even that big a deal to me

Bird, that awful scooter sharing thing, is trying to get a $2 billion dollar valuation.

This time next year we'll be hearing about a new company, Sloth, that just throws folding chairs all over public spaces. The chairs will threaten to call the cops on people that sit in them if they don't pay for the privilege in an app. Valuation prediction: Eleventy Billion ButtCoins

Not a single “classical” Marxist or anarchist could have predicted how power has been abstracted, how deep the surveillance state is, or the expansion of the police state and how they crush/infiltrate leftist organizing AND intimidate us away from building the world we want.

Therefore we can’t follow any theory written any time ever as a rule book. None of your 1800s faves could have predicted this.
