When people take 'rule of law/order' to legitamize and reason their behaviour...

''Eichmann in Jerusalem: A Report on the Banality of Evil''

'She examined the question of whether evil is radical or simply a function of thoughtlessness, a tendency of ordinary people to obey orders and conform to mass opinion without a critical evaluation of the consequences of their actions.'

It's that time of the month when people start deleting pledges to avoid being charged.

If you have any extra dollars, consider upping you pledges a bit or sending an extra tip to someone. Summer months are very hard for bills.

if you work at microsoft, or at any company that serves ICE or any agency that assists them, give your bosses hell for it. publicize the contracts. demand answers. agitate! organize!

if you have ever dragged IBM for helping nazis organize concentration camps, recognize ICE's camps for what they are and hold collaborators to account! ✊ 🔥

I don't know how many times I have to bring it up before people acknowledge it but I will keep bringing it up because not being Jewish means i can do so without threat of direct anti-Semitism.

Gargamel is a blatant cartoon of a stereotype of the evil gold loving Jew sorceror that dates back hundreds of years. A harmful caricature ingrained in modern society. We need to acknowledge this bc I've spoken in private to Jewish ppl alienated by it.

What is happening in the US to immigrants right now is genocide. That is the correct term. We're already at concentration camps. Don't be afraid to call it what it is. It is not hyperbolic.

We have to be better at this. Please don't become those leftists who @'ed me in 2016 saying I was being hyperbolic by calling Nazis, Nazis.

#ICE has shut down operations indefinitely due to "security concerns". No agents attempted to enter building today and have also cancelled appointments for tomorrow. The facility is non-operational. Other cities are raising their banners and organizing similar actions.

Trump's executive order is bullshit and any media source claiming otherwise is fucking lying

We're here for abolition

Even Portland Police wont engage given political pressure

In 10 years we gonna have algorithms in place that no one remembers how they work. Algorithms that are stronger than traditions. And they gonna have bugs in them.

Sorry, I don't know a nice way to say HEY CAN YOU STOP DOING SHIT THAT KILLS PEOPLE LIKE ME!

I don't know a nice way of explaining how a cop killed my friend in front of me for literally no fucking reason.

No, I'm not going to be 'nicer' because the reality of my life makes you feel bad about yours.

It is a trend in the online world to blame people of color, trans people, women, and disabled people for pointing out how hostile your shit is to us. It's not our fault.

Don't cry to us about how the assholes ruined this for you.

Make your shit unusable for assholes. Take it out on them.

Stop your tears and put in some damn work.

consider, maybe.

Giving money to your admin to keep things running or to the Mastodon project are great ways to give back and help your community.

Giving money to support individual users on Mastodon who need money and resources is just as if not more helpful and important.

Support the poor in your community. Pay the artists. Spread the resources around. Make this place as healthy and punk rock as possible.

Anyone heading there, let me know what you find and what resources are needed.
