it's not as good as the first half, tbqh

I know things look bad, but never think we've stopped progressing as a society. I just used the urinal at the water park and I actually had to wait in a line

Oh cool, we're basically claiming partial credit for an act of war we said we had nothing to do with last night because Trump is a weird egomaniac who can't handle looking like he's not the center of the universe and the decider of human fate. Amazing shit.

I cannot stress enough how absolutely bonkers this is; Israel's attack, our entire government response to it, and the fact that Trump is trying to leverage it to get the nuclear deal HE cancelled back still. Nuts.

Trump et al are all talking a out California in terms of war and colonial occupation and it is critically important to understand the extent to which they are serious about that framing and the extent to which they hate you.

Non-violence is an inadequate response to a state that views you as a military threat and is deploying military power to occupy your community, and that lacks any meaningful institutional constraints on that violence.

Big day for Americans tomorrow. Just some thoughts from me to you
- mask up, for health and to help avoid being recognised
- spread out - more seperate protests delay/prevent cop response
- don't carry your phone or ID
- prepare for violent response - look up on youtube videos about ketteling and how to avoid it
- carry water and a snack - it could be a long day
- ensure someone knows where you're going and inform them when you're back safe
- prepare a bust card - this is a card with a lawyers number (who specialises in protest law) and your rights.
- travel to/from in numbers and look out for each other
- do not dress distinctively - dark colours, no logos, adopt a grey man look.

Most importantly: in the event of non-police violence run away. Major threats are car attacks, shooting and bombings, ensure you know what your escape route is at all times. Try to maintain at least 2 escape routes at any one time.

In the event of an attack:
- Stay calm
- communicate with people around you to help steer the exodus
- work with riot medics to evacuate wounded
- an unconscious casualty is a higher priority for aid than someone screaming for help

Stay safe, take no shit.

Israel, the most peaceful and moral and democratic nation on earth, has started another war with its neighbors.

google cloud shat itself and took out a bunch of popular websites

Like, what is the platform here?

"Please stop resisting Trump, who is a dire threat to democracy and our good friend whom we agree with."

Democrats have backed themselves into a corner where they're at odds with ordinary Americans because they're so deep in bed with cop unions, military contractors, Israel lobbyists, etc.

Elected Democrats demanding an end to violence -- from protesters -- instead of from the regime deploying cops, sheriffs departments, National Guard troops, and fucking US Marines.

Elected Democrats appear to believe "violence" is when people disagree with them online or do things that might upset Trump voters.
