I’m seeing reports of ICE kidnapping nannies at a park in LA, assaulting pregnant US citizens, kidnapping children in foster care from their foster parents, accidentally arresting US marshals who look too brown.
This is ethnic cleansing on a national scale to fulfill Trump and Miller’s dream of a fascist ethnostate.
I guess with Musk’s falling out with Trump, it’s Miller’s turn to be the scheming vizier running the state.

Minnesota Public Radio: Shelter-in-place order issued in NW Twin Cities metro area for suspect in 'multiple targeted shootings'
"The shelter-in-place order is for a 3-mile radius from Edinburgh USA golf course in Brooklyn Park. The golf course is located just south of the State Highway 610 freeway, and west of State Highway 252.
Police said in the alert that the suspect they’re seeking may be misrepresenting himself as a law enforcement officer. He’s described as a white male wearing black body armor over a blue shirt and blue pants. He’s considered armed and dangerous — and police said he should not be approached. Anyone who believes they see the suspect should call 911."

Analysis: "What went by 'McCarthyism' was not just one man or one party, it was the bipartisan consensus of our rulers."
Eg, The Smith Act, making membership in the Communist & Socialist Parties a crime, "was a 1940 product of FDR."
"The new McCarthy Era, like the old, has seen brazenly illegal jailings and deportations, false accusations with no evidence, & the destruction of professional careers."

For No Kings Day, I've chosen to walk with the military burial flag of my father-in-law, who was a WWII veteran. I was there as upon this flag, William Edward Stiles Jr. received his final salute: three volleys from the rifles of the honor guard before it was folded and presented to my mother-in-law by two Navy men. Later, at his memorial, I was astonished to discover that a white man of his era had so many Black friends.
You see my father-in-law's fight against injustice did not end when he returned from the second World War. His fight continued in the civil rights movement negotiating for teachers unions in the shadow of Brown v. Board of Education America. Out of prejudice or fear of the Klu Klux Klan, few white people were willing to do what he did because it meant also representing Black teachers unions.

But Bill Stiles was no racist and (bless his stubborn Irish heart) would sooner risk his life than give an inch to the KKK. When he marched for equal rights with his Black compatriots, he stood at the front. In 1963 Birmingham, Alabama the Klan infamously bombed a Black church. He knew that building.
Were he alive today, William Edward Stiles Jr., would be out there with me. This man, who spent his life standing up for what he knew was right, would have been so proud to know that because of his lived example, one day his Asian-American son-in-law, would choose the flag of his final honor as a symbol of power in distressing times.
I will proudly bear the colors in his name and it is upon this flag that I say to all Americans of privilege, that we are being called to stand up together and meet the moment peacefully, but forcefully.

Weekly reminder:
#AltText is a great thing and adding it to images can help ppl with vision issues participate.
But.
Excluding ppl who don't use AltText by intentionally leaving them out of discourse is an #abelist stance that directly excludes some #neurodivergent ppl.
Telling neurodivergent ppl who can't describe images in words that they have to 'overcome' their processing issues to be considered worthy of interaction is also an abelist stance.
Demanding that they use AI or charity to be included is an abelist stance, tho it is often well intentioned. "But it would be easier for you to be our friend if you brought a sign interpreter" would be pretty rude to say to someone in the deaf community yeah? Same same here.
Alt text is great. I use it. But we need to stop #bullying and #discriminating against those who can't.

Fuck every “Don’t Tread On Me” bro who is nowhere to be seen. Fuck every “small government conservative.” And fuck every liberal “just sit down, don’t give them a pretext” sentiment. The state has declared war on us and it is prosecuting that war.
This is “rule of law.” It has always been a sham.
