Think about why it’s illegal to hire a hit man.
All you’re really doing is speaking and giving someone money.
It’s legal to speak.
It’s legal to give someone money.
Even if they actually complete the job, you’re not the one who committed the murder.
So why is it illegal to hire a hit man?
Could it be because inciting violence is not protected under free speech?
And if that’s the case, why should free speech protect Nazis advocating genocide?
Never reblogged something harder in my life
The last one caused me to spew tea through my nose!! Still laughing! So good.
And we see the truth of this even now . . .
to my friends in red states, please stay safe and watch out for each other. stay inside and avoid going out if you don’t need to. not to stir up fear in the wake of victory, but there are numerous watchdog organizations warning people — especially black and trans folks — to expect a sharp uptick in violence and tension. the naacp has issued a warning to black people in missouri to STAY INSIDE, STAY TOGETHER, STAY SAFE. check on your friends. stay informed. if you aren’t following them already, check out the naacp website and watchdog organizations to keep an eye on things in your area.
to white folks, this is a time for you to celebrate as well, but things are far from over. reach out to your poc and trans friends, particularly your black and trans friends, and check on them and make sure they feel safe. DO NOT STOP DONATING TO PAYPALS AND GOFUNDMES. CONTINUE SHARING RESOURCES AND INFORMATION. CONTINUE PARTICIPATING IN COMMUNITY AID. electing biden did not simultaneously wipe out the issues many marginalized communities are facing. YOUR PART IN THIS IS NOT OVER BECAUSE THIS FIGHT IS NOT OVER. continue spreading
to succinctly sum up the energy we need to cultivate going forward:
you can reblog this. white people can and should reblog this. likes do nothing for us.
I would like to give a shout out to Australia for providing us with the funniest Trump headline I have ever seen

People who insisted that the president could and should be doing more were adherents of the “Green Lantern Theory” of the presidency, after the comic book where someone in possession of a particular ring can do anything, limited only by their imagination and will. By this view, the presidency is an inherently weak office and leftists who think putting a more progressive person in the White House will make a big difference by itself are naive and foolish.
Now, passing anything at all through Congress is always a challenge. But critics of Green Lanternism drastically understate the freedom of action that Obama had, especially in his early presidency. He had a huge opportunity to transform the United States into a better place and chose not to do so.
And thats why I haven't been around. In less than a year I have lost both my parents, my youngest daughter has been having extreme mental health problems, my spouse has been diagnosed with cancer, and we lost our wrongful foreclosure battle and were forced out of our home abruptly. Thats just the big stuff. Hopefully, my followers will forgive my absences.
A California Highway Patrol officer was charged with sexually assaulting a 16-year-old girl in the San Francisco Bay Area after a monthslong investigation, authorities said.
The Alameda County District Attorney’s Office Monday charged Brian Watkins, 34, of Fremont, with three counts of unlawful sexual assault against a minor, after Fremont police arrested him last week following a monthslong investigation.
Fremont police began investigating Watkins in July 2019, after receiving a report of “alleged sexual misconduct involving Watkins” and a teenage girl, the East Bay Times reported.
60 year old historian Martin Bühler (who identified himself to the press, I do not identify activists without consent) appears to ‘photobomb’ a lot of media images of the G20 in Hamburg. In reality he is a long time observer documenting police brutality. In Hamburg he chose to cultivate the most non-activist ‘white bystander in a suit with a bike’ look he could manage and casually walked in front of police. As police slowed down or interrupted attacks and waited for the ‘bystander’ to get out of the way (being caught on camera trashing what look like bystanders is bad press after all), activists had time to regroup or retreat.
Thats cool. Can you show the black block that invaded Hamburg, set tons of innocent bystanders cars on fire, attacked random people, and destroyed tons of private property? Or we just gonna show just enough so the narrative of “peaceful protest” isn’t ruined?
We sure can! A black block dress is common sense when you’re bound to be criminalized no matter what your protest methods and property destruction is a very useful tactic to hurt a system that values profits over people, to drive up the costs of future G-summits and to shatter the illusions of the total surveillance state.
There was some trouble with undercover cops trying to stage attacks and trying to infiltrate groups to change their direction, as well as far-right scum trying to make the left look bad while looting for themselves. Nonetheless local and out-of-town activists organized effective actions together trashing banks and mayor chainstores as well as targetting expensive cars and posh shops in poor neighbourhoods threatened with gentrification.
Here’s some love for our fantastic heroes in black.
